Rich
Cantu’s Coconut Curling Cream is one of those products that actually delivers on definition without weighing hair down. It leaves curls soft, bouncy, and moisturized with a natural shine. The texture is rich but not greasy, and a little goes a long way, which makes it great for both wash-and-go styles and twist-outs. It also helps tame frizz really well, especially on humid days. Overall, it’s a reliable, budget-friendly curl cream that keeps curls looking hydrated and defined all day.

Great packaging, tames frizz, no build-up, and sme
I’ve been using Cantu Care for Kids Curling Cream for two days and I’m already impressed. It comes in a cute, sturdy jar that’s easy to open and use, even with one hand while managing a toddler. The texture is creamy and smooth, not too thick, and applies easily through the hair. My son’s curls are more defined, soft, and bouncy. It helps a lot with frizz, we live in a humid climate and I’ve seen a big difference. His hair stays in place and looks neat for most of the day. There’s no heavy build-up so far, which I love. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave the hair greasy or flaky. Plus, the scent is amazing sweet and clean. My son loves it so much he sometimes sucks his fingers after application.

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.

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.
