Holds well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on my daughter for her christmas dance show, it held her hair well even with her dancing and running around. It lasted all day. It didn't flake and made the hair look shiny under the stage lights.

Not a good product
Unfortunately, this was not a good brand once you put it on the hair. It looks immediately dirty and greasy, and it doesn’t stay still it doesn’t dry. It just stays sticky and tacky even hours later.

Would purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this in my son’s hair, the hold is very firm but doesn’t leave the hair crispy and hard, it smells lovely and is easy to use. Putting a small amount on his scalp as I parted helped the lines look clean. The packaging is vibrant.

Sticky unpleasant gel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very disappointed when I went to use this product!! When I first applied it, I noticed a sticky residue all over my hands and my hair and scalp just felt sticky, I found it very difficult to style my hair and wasn't impressed with the smell either .

Good hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like sleek buns and ponytails but having fizzy hair it is harder to achieve the desired outcome, unless cantu gel is used! It was holding everything in place for 12 hours. I find it easy to apply - no sticky residue, however it gives my hair a slightly wet look; washes out without any problem. Bonus point does not contain sls nor silicone.

The absolute best🤩🤩🤩🤩
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay this is quite literally the best hair gel I’ve ever used🤩 it is super tacky but dries down smooth as butter. It DOES NOT budge even in the gym or when I go for runs. It’s so easy to use and only takes a few minutes. AND it doesn’t smell bad like some other hair gels I have used! I would choose this hair gel over and over again. If you’re looking for a reason to buy, let this be your sign👀✨

Amazing Hold
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has a more jelly like feel than many other gels. It gives really strong hold that lasts for hours. Also great for taming moustaches!

Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a really good product. I am yet to test it on curls, however it holds sleek ponny very well, even the smallest, most annoying hair stay put. The product itself is quite hard, but it’s a good thing, as it’s not as messy as a typical hair gel you may get. The smell is quite fruity, but can’t compare it to anything. My personal preference would be slightly different packaging, something slightly easier to open with one hand.

Not great for long term use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is really good. Tells you what it’s used are and ingredients. The texture is fine on the hands and hair, easy to apply and smooth in. It has a delectable scent. It maintains a shine but not a greasy look. Only dissatisfied with the lack of hold for the day. It lasted a few hours when up in a ponytail then bits started to weaken and poke out. Not ideal for long term use I’d say.

Hold well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this! I have such frizzy hair and always lots of fly aways when I wear a ponytail. You only need the tiniest amount for it to work and it lasts all day, even in the wind! It has a nice scent to it. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect edge control with great shine, scent, and
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cantu Shea Butter Firm Hold Edge Stay Gel for a few days now and I’m seriously impressed! 💛 The texture is super smooth and easy to apply, and I really like the packaging — compact, simple, and perfect for travel. It gives the right shine level without making my hair look greasy, and the scent is so clean and pleasant. The hold strength is amazing — it keeps my edges sleek and in place all day long! Definitely one of my new favorite styling gels ✨

Cantu Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wouldn’t recommend if you want your hair to stay fixed for longer than a couple of hours. I mostly need it for my super stubborn baby hairs (my hair texture is around 2c-3a) but doesn’t hold the whole day or evening if I’m out. Texture, thickness and appearance is alright. Smells lovely. Packaging is really nice.
