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.

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.

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!

Easy and effective
Love the way this product keeps my son curls intact. Very easy to use to the point my son helps do his hair when we go out - he is 2. I wouldn't say it smells horrible but can't put my finger on what it actually smells like.

Curl cream
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.

One stop styler
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.
