Cantu Guava Cream Hair Gel - 12oz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite thing about this gel is the scent. It kind of reminds me of a tropical plug in. But not as intense as a plug in... If that makes sense. The gel is thin to me, it kind of felt like I was applying water and oil to my hair. I first used it to refresh a wash and go. When I first put it on it was pretty. My curls didn't pop as much as I wanted, I had to manipulate them quite a bit and use quite a bit of this product. This gel is very light so my hair pretty much ate this up. There wasn't much hold when I used it by itself. So for my kinky hair, I could not use this for a slick back ponytail (what I usually use gel for) but because my hair coils around itself I figured it'd work with twist. I decided to use this again for kinky twist with weave which I am now rocking. I combined it with cream moisturizer and an oil. This turned out pretty good. My hair had a nice very light hold and there is no flaking or crunch. This slips right through the hair for easy application. Dried down nicely, doesn't weigh the hair down. And my hair smelled great for a few days. This probably won't be a go to for my hair texture, but my sisters hair is probably going to love this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always used Cantu products so I'm pretty familiar with the brand. This product was really good! I'm usually not a big fan of cream gels but I thought it was alright!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. The concentration is good, not too thick and easy to saturate all over my hair. It also left my hair very soft. I used it right after shampooing my hair and allowed it to air dry. I was concerned that after drying my hair would be crunchy but that was not the case. I will say though, if you are sensitive to smells then it might not be for you as the guava smell was fairly strong. I would definitely buy again for my girls and I.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This just what my dried up hair needed the cream is thick and it smells really good. This is an INTENSE moisture product. It might be too much to use on thin hair or on hair that is less than dry 4C type but for 4C hair - damaged or not - this is the stuff.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 1st thing I noticed was the smell of the product I am a sucker for a good smelling product. I not a big gel user cause it normally flakes in my hair or makes it stiff this product did not. My hair felt soft and lightweight and no buildup or flakes anywhere

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Cantu Guava Cream Gel on my braid out and when I tell you I am impressed, it’s definitely an understatement! My hair was left defined and moisturized for days! Great product! I will be using often.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product after washing my hair and let me say it smells amazing! It does t help comb through my personal hair (4C) but I still love it for styling and smell. It’s light weight and doesn’t leave any white residues on your hair and scalp!! The best way I can describe the smell is pineapple-y, melon, and sweet vanilla

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture was more of a jelly but it was nice and light on the hair! It didn’t weigh down the hair and it smelled amazing and did what it needed to do. Made my curls looking nice and shiny and cut down on.m the frizz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product I love everything about it. The ingredients are blended perfectly. It does exactly what it is supposed to do with a lovely bonus giving hair a healthy look and bounce not to mention a little go a long way it's not thick at all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently have braids and I have used this too Re twist and moisturize my new growth and it has worked wonders. It is filled with guava, ginger, castor oil, and vitamin E. I can’t wait to see the new growth once I take out my braids. Definitely recommend for my natural girlies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works great on 4C hair used it to do my two strand twist, and my hair looked so shiny and was very moisturized.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in the mail. I tried Cantu years ago and decided it wasn’t for me. This Guava Cream Gel has a really nice smell. So I’ll give it a ten for that. It’s very loud and lights up the room. I love walking past someone and they tell me I smell good…but it’s the hair. I love the thickness of it. The product is not too runny, nor is it too heavy. I was able to run my fingers through my natural hair with ease. My curls were formed well, but not like I know they can. Maybe there are products that go along with this to give better results. The curls did hold and on the dry down they were not crunchy. Also my hair did not flake. Everything stated on the jar holds true, except my curls were not as defined as they normally are. I would recommend this, if you are a Cantu lover.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that the Cantu Guava cream gel smells good. I don't usually wear fruity scents in my hair but this was an exception. It was easy to apply to my hair and didn't leave any residue behind. Would recommend for anyone looking for a useful hair product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product smells amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already use Cantu products and I'm just as pleased with this one. I had used it to two strand twist my daughter's hair and that came out so pretty! However before the actual twisting, just the results from combing the product through was amazing as well, so I will definitely use it for a wash and go. It has a very nice consistency, not too runny and just the right amount of thickness. I would def recommend it to my natural girls because my daughter's hair is definitely hydrated and soft. There isn't anything I don't like about it... dividing the hair in sections , applying the product and combing through is the best way to use it in my opinion. Did I mention how amazing it smells????????? That's really the highlight for me.... I did notice that it doesn't flake.. most cream gels dry down flaky but this one doesn't and I love that too! This is a product I would buy regularly and add to my hair care routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised with this cream from cantu. Cantu is a brand I have heard of but never used in my hair after hearing other friends with similar textures talk about the products. I was surprised with the hold it has in my hair without being flaky or crunchy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cream was good, I have never heard of it till now and would purchase it again. I have used some Cantù products and they were fine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off…this product smells amazing. I applied a small amount initially and I did not have any white cast. I am a little concerned because it is so fragrant that it will cause and irritation. But so far no issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My curls love this cream! It defines them so well and for a gel cream it is very hydrating! I also love the guava scent it has! I would definitely recommend it for curly haired girls!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using this product! Post silk press, my hair thickened up but I didn’t want to use straight gel on my hair as it can get crunchy and hard to manage without hair loss. This was the perfect amount of moisture and hold without it being too thick and rough on my hair. Perfect for laying hairs down!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cantu Guava & Ginger Cream Gel smells like a fresh fruit medley on a summer vacation. As soon as you open the jar you can smell the delicious scent. The product has great slip, accents your curls or slicks down your straight hair into a neat ponytail. I highly recommend!
