me encanta cavarle el pelo a mi hija con esta marca
It is very lovely and aesthetically pleasing; it has a soft texture and feels phenomenal. It creates a great lather and leaves both the skin and hair feeling soft. I love this brand.

Soft kid bliss
Can't for kids tear free nourishing shampoo is a gentle, moisturizing wash that blends Shea butter, coconut oil and honey to keep children's curls,coils and waves soft. It cleanses nicely and leaves hair easy to detangle. It leaves no residue behind and its safe to use on sensitive scalp and delicate kids hair.

Great product
Cantu kids is my go to product to use in my kids hair. Little goes a long way, it lathers well and leaves no residue on the hair. It leaves their hair clean and free from oils and product build up.

Love
The consistency is perfect my sister loves it and it doesn’t irritate her scalp or face at all. If your sibling or child has a listening problem and doesn’t want to keep there eyes closed then this is perfect for them

Works winders for curls
I use this product in my son’s curly hairs. It smells so great and leaves his hair so soft! It can leave a residue behind if you mix it with some form of oil. Rinsing was easy and worked great for his dry scalp.

Soft hair product for kids.
I have been using this in my child's hair since birth. This js such a consistent and great product. It is tear free and leaves the hair soft. I do have to worry about tangling hair.

Works too good hahah!
Omg I don’t even know how to put into words how awesome this product is!! I’ve been searching for a shampoo & conditioner that was tear free and nourishing & this one popped up! I was debating between this one for my 2 & 1 year old & Aussie for kids & I decided to try this one & I’ve been getting it ever since!! It truly leaves their hair extremely soft!!! Smells amazing also! For reference, they’re biracial & my son has really curly hair! My daughter too but less coily! Works amazing for both!

Great for biracial hair
Shampoo is great for multicultural curls. It gently cleanses without overly stripping the hair and leaves it soft and bouncy. The packaging is easy to open and the shampoo rinses out easily.

Gentle, moisturizing, and perfect for kids’ curls
Cantu Care for Kids Tear-Free Nourishing Shampoo is amazing for children’s hair. It cleans gently without drying or irritating the scalp, and it really helps maintain moisture and softness. The formula creates a nice foam that makes washing easy, and the fruity scent is pleasant but not too strong. I love that it’s tear-free, making bath time stress-free. It leaves my child’s curls clean, soft, and shiny — definitely a great shampoo for everyday use.

Smells so good
The price on this seems high but a little goes a long way, I love the mostly natural ingredients but am truly obsessed with the scent! The packaging is also eye catching!!

The best product
A good product. You see results from the first application. I love it because it helps with my son's hair. It's gentle on his scalp and its ingredients are good. I love its presentation. The product's texture is light, and the smell is tolerable.
