My daughter's curls come out so defined and smooth. I will admit we both love the scent of the cream. I like that it doesn't leave her hair feeling greasy or crunchy.

Perfect one-stop styler that is lightweight and offers lignt hold without a crunch for kids that can do their own hair but aren't great at it yet. Smells good without being gender specific.

I just ran out but I plan on getting more. My curls feel really nice after using it. I use it on my wet hair as well as my dry hair. My hair doesn’t feel hard either. It smells pretty good. I feel like my hair is moisturized after using it.

This cream really helps activate my curls. I give it a 4 just because it really didn’t do anything for my frizz which is also what the product is promoting. It contains a good amount of cream and smells great! I use it a couple times a week and always see a significant difference compared to other products I use. You do have to apply it evenly, because too much product in one section will harden your hair.

They was my favorite option in the past two years, worked great in my kid hair. But with new presentation the hair of my kid is terribly freezing, not styling only frizz. I stopped using and the curls come again. Not recommended for now

Curls on point

First of all, I have thick, wavy hair that tends to get dry and frizzy. I have tried numerous curl activator creams in the past, but none of them have worked as well as this one. The first thing I noticed when applying the cream to my damp hair was the amazing scent. It has a sweet, coconut smell that is not overpowering but still lingers in my hair throughout the day. The cream itself has a thick consistency, but it is easy to spread through my hair. I only need a small amount to cover all of my curls, which is great because it means the product will last me a long time. After applying the cream, I use a diffuser to dry my hair and the results are amazing. My curls are defined, bouncy, and frizz-free. I have received so many compliments on my hair since using this product. What I love most about this product is that it is made with shea butter, which is known for its moisturizing properties. My hair feels soft and hydrated, and I no longer have to deal with dry, crunchy curls. The cream also contains no harsh chemicals, sulfates, or parabens, which is important to me as I try to use more natural and organic products. I also appreciate that this product is affordable and easily accessible. I can find it at my local drugstore or beauty supply store, and it is reasonably priced compared to other curl activator creams on the market.

I use this on my little one’s and toddlers hair every day. It makes it soft and easy to brush and style. It smells a little strong but it’s not horrible.

I loved this product at first, but eventually my hair started to become more frizzy than before while using it for some reason. I don’t know how to manage my waves very well, but I’ve watched a lot of videos and I typically apply this in the shower after I’ve washed my hair and rung it out to prevent my hair from getting crunchy. Other than that, it smells really nice and the price isn’t outrageous like most hair products.

I use this for myself just because it works great. For me I use a pea sized drop. I scrunch my curls after I’ve moisturized them and this cream really holds them in place. I haven’t used another cream in years since I discovered the Cantu.
