    Soft hair girl

    Cantu is the definition of soft hair in ” in a bottle. It opens with the freshest, soap-like notes that make you feel like you just stepped out of a long, comforting shower. The scent is soft, airy, and effortless — never overpowering, just the perfect everyday fragrance that makes people wonder why you smell so naturally good.

    The Cantu Sulfate-Free Cleansing Cream Shampoo is one of the best options for dry or textured hair. The formula is thick and creamy, giving a gentle cleanse without stripping natural oils. My hair feels soft and moisturized right after rinsing, and there’s no harsh residue left behind. It helps define curls and reduce frizz while adding a subtle shine. If your hair gets dry easily or needs extra nourishment, this shampoo does a great job keeping everything hydrated and manageable.

    perfect shampoo add an affordable price for my cur

    I’ve been using the Cantu Sulfate-Free Cleansing Cream Shampoo for a while now, and it’s become one of my go-to products for keeping my curly, color-treated hair clean and healthy. My hair is naturally curly but on the thinner side, so I have to be careful with products that can either strip too much moisture or weigh my curls down — and this shampoo really finds the perfect balance. It cleanses my scalp thoroughly without that squeaky, dry feeling that some shampoos leave behind. Because it’s sulfate-free, it’s super gentle on my color and helps my hair stay soft and hydrated. I’ve noticed my curls feel bouncier and more defined after washing, and my hair doesn’t get frizzy or tangled like it used to. It has a light, pleasant scent and a creamy texture that lathers nicely for a sulfate-free formula. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have harsh ingredients that can cause buildup or irritation. I usually follow it with a lightweight conditioner or mask, and my hair feels clean, moisturized, and healthy every time. The packaging is simple but practical — the bottle is sturdy, easy to grip in the shower, and dispenses the right amount of product without wasting any. For the price point, it’s an incredible value considering how long it lasts and how salon-quality the results are. You really get great performance for an affordable cost, which makes it easy to repurchase and keep in my regular haircare rotation.

    Look for moisture elsewhere

    Would never buy again. It strips could, high porosity hair of long lasting oils and causes breakage due to a lack of moisture. Not worth the money.

    Deeply cleanses and eliminates build-up

    I tried the Cantu Sulfate-Free shampoo and it leaves the hair super clean and with a delicious aroma. Ideal for removing the accumulation of products and giving freshness to the scalp, but I recommend using it with conditioner because it cleans quite deeply. Perfect for a hair reset

    Good Moisture like a Conditioner

    This product really helps with my dandruff and gives my scalp the reset it needs. The scent brings back early 2000s natural hair vibes! It also leaves my ends soft and repaired like a good conditioner would.

    Fabulous smell and results!

    This shampoo has the most amazing smell! My husband and daughter have curly hair and they use this shampoo with the curling cream! The curls are a success, I also used this on straight hair when the little frizzy baby hairs get out of place, it helps me stick the hair back down.. Leaves hair smelling fantastic looks nourishing healthy and shiny. Absolutely recommend!

    The smell is delicious but it leaves my hair very very heavy, I feel like I haven’t washed it. I wanted to try it to start taking care of my natural curls but it doesn’t convince me, I’m going to give it more opportunities but for now for me it’s a no

    Good for your hair

    Cantu’s shampoo is widely praised, especially for its benefits to curly, coily, and textured hair types. It’s known for its moisturizing properties, as it often contains ingredients like shea butter, which is ideal for hydrating and softening dry hair. Users with natural hair appreciate its ability to cleanse without stripping the hair of its natural oils, making it gentler on curls compared to harsher shampoos. The formula is typically sulfate-free, which is a huge plus for people looking to preserve the health and moisture balance of their curls. However, some users have noted that while it’s great for hydration, it may not be as effective for deep cleansing if you use a lot of product or have buildup in your hair. Overall, if you’re looking for a shampoo that supports moisture retention and defines curls, Cantu is often considered a good choice. Just be aware that everyone’s hair reacts differently, so it may work wonders for some and not as well for others.

    El mejor para la transición a rizada

    I love the way he leaves my hair. It smells super rich and when you are in transition to be curled is the one that leaves you best texture in your hair thanks to sweat ingredients . Up to view is the only one that has worked for me. Also your bottle is very nice, I like how the content with that color of the package.
