Great for children and adults!
Yes I am a grown woman and yes I use this product every time I wash my hair. It’s great! It’s a very light curl cream that is great for children’s hair. I like to use it after my leave in but for kids it’s good enough to use on its own. It has a nice not too strong scent and the bottle is great when you have lots in your hands. Am using for myself but will also use for my kiddo when he is older.

Wonderful
If you have a child with curly hair, it will work very well to style their hair and also make it last a long time. The consistency is thick and the smell is undoubtedly the best thing about it. Try it and you will see.

Definición sin frizz
It defines the curls and waves of your baby's hair well, leaving it soft and frizz-free. It smells lovely. Use a small amount at first, especially if your baby's hair is fine, to assess how much is needed so the hair doesn't become too saturated and/or stiff with white residue.

Great for wavy hair too.
This custard works great for keeping my daughters hair wavy all day and frizz under control. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t leave hair smelling or sticky. She seems to like it.

Love the feel and smell
I love all Cantu products but this is my favorite to use on my daughter’s hair.!85 provides moisture, while keeping the frizz down without a crunchy feel. It still provides the bounce to her curls. She does have slight eczema and I haven’t noticed this product irritating her skin much. We also just put it at the base of her curls and scrunch it up as we style it.

A good shampoo for children of different ages.
Very convenient packaging. No strong odors. Delicate texture, pleasant to the touch. Lathers well and does not sting the skin. Effectively cleans dirt. Safe composition for small children.

Cantu for Kids review
I bought this a month ago to style my daughter's hair, and I loved it. It doesn't have a strong smell, on the contrary I like the smell, it has a gel-like texture but a little thicker, I like the packaging I feel like it has a very good amount for the price too, when you put it on it feels like wet hair but it dries in minutes.

Great styling custard for kids!
This styling custard works well for our mixed baby. His hair is hard to style and this is the best product we have found so far. It does not have a strong smell which is good for our son.

Bad ingredients
Been purchasing for years for my kids but just learning this has BHT in it and I am very concerned and worried as this is a dangerous ingredient with many risks. Please make this cleaner! My kids have been using it for years

Love It!!!
Use it for my daughter curly hair and it is absolutely the perfect product. It’s a bit to creamy so takes longer to dry the hair but the curl is amazing, the smell is amazing Highly recommended!!

Smells nice but drying
The scent is nice. The squeeze tube packaging is convenient. It claims to have no sulphates, silicones or parabens which is great. However it does contain alcohol which I believe is the reason why it’s drying for my daughter’s thick curly hair. When it is first applied to her hair it feels nice but then after maybe 20 minutes the hair gets super dry. I would not repurchase this product for my daughter’s hair type.

Perfect for our toddler
Our toddler has curly hair that becomes frizzy and undefined quickly. This curl cream has helped define her curls while also moisturizing them. It also smells nice!
