Q: Do you have to wash it out, or can it be apart of my curl routine and can be kept in?

submitted by Bellathecuriouscurlyhead - 1 year ago
  • A: Cantu Natural Hair Coconut Curling Cream is made to be left in your hair, so you don’t need to wash it out. Just apply to damp hair and style as part of your curl routine. It helps define curls, control frizz, and keep your hair moisturized.

Q: How and where do you put it in your hair? Do you massage it or put it on the edges of your hair? Or do you just put it on your hair and leave it?

submitted by Prit - 1 year ago
  • A: Hello - Please apply Cantu Curling Cream to damp hair, working in sections so every strand gets coated. Gently massage it through from root to tip. Focus on distributing it evenly, especially on the ends where your hair tends to be driest. Then style as usual.

Q: Can this product be used daily or more than once a day?

submitted by Jay - 6 years ago
  • A: Hi! Great questions. Our Coconut Curling Cream is a heavier styling aid that was created to help define and moisturize braid outs, twist outs, and other natural hair styles! You can use the product more than once a day, but if you’re looking for more of a moisturizer check out our Curl Activator Cream.

Q: Does this cream give you curls if you have straight hair? If not, can you recommend one that does?

submitted by Gaby - 6 years ago
  • A: H Gabyi! The Cantu Coconut Curling Cream was created to help define and enhance natural curls, coils, and waves. This product will not create curls if you have naturally straight hair. Have you ever tried a flexi rod or perm rod set to help you get the curly look you desire? You won’t regret it.

    Amazing for braids/miracle knots

    I love how light this cream is and it doesn’t make the hair heavy or have a residue on hair making the hair feel waxy. I used another products for braids to keep the body wave the hair after a couple of days felt heavy a waxy feel on the hair.

    Not bad but not good

    Its really good, not too bad. Ive used it over the past few years before I switched. But im pretty sure it damaged my hair a bit from using a bit too much.

    Flaky

    I wanted to love this product, but unfortunately it didn’t work for my hair instead it left my hair feeling dry and very oily and heavy. I eventually stopped using it because I didn’t like how it left my hair feeling however it did work on my daughter’s hair when she was much younger. It defined her curls and I would recommend it for a little girl’s hair.

    The product is good. It is somewhat greasier than their other products. It makes my natural curly hair hydrated, and healthier. The expiration date said August 2026...same month/yr bought. Also, it should come sealed.

    Been using this cream for about 5 months now and it's been the best on my daughters curly hair. I've tried many products that didn't work well on her hair. either they made her hair hard or very greasy but this one made it soft and bouncy and made her curls sooo soft! I'll forever love this product for her and love the price.

    Last Forever

    I’ve been using this curling cream for YEARS. A little bit goes a long way which is great. It is a medium weight so for me more is less especially if I am putting other products in my hair. I will add more when my hair is feeling dry because it helps me get more moisture in my curls.

    Works great for thick curly hair

    I love this product! I have very curly/ coily, thick, frizzy, dehydrated hair and this works great for me. My hair soaks it right up, it helps moisture and control. I recommend it if you have thick curly hair.

    An essential in my hair-care game

    Cantù’s Coconut Curling Cream is a major staple in my hair-care routine. This cream is made with so many nourishing oils, plus the main ingredient, SHEA BUTTER, which is what my hair needs. The product has a blissful scent of coconut that is not overpowering at all. The definition this cream adds to my hairstyles are unmatched. Definitely give this a try if you have curly/coily hair.

    My curls lost their definition after years!!

    My curls lost their definition after years of coloring. This cream brought back my curl pattern without feeling heavy or greasy. Just a little frizz on really humid days.

    Definitely drying

    Was actually drying on my daughter’s 4a hair. If you use make sure hair is washed and hair is actually taking in the moisture from the water. But I honestly do not recommend

    I love the hydration and the oils it has.m

    I love its texture, it feels creamy and is very moisturizing that has coconut oil, I recommend it too much for people with thick hair, since my hair is a little thin and I think it is too heavy for him, but in a small amount I love how my hair looks It has a delicious smell and does not leave residue, if you do not use enough only the right thing the pain lasts for days, and it is a cream that will last you a long time.

    Good cream for defining curls and maintaining hydration

    I've been using this Cantu curl cream and my experience has been positive. It has a creamy texture that spreads easily through the hair and helps keep curls defined throughout the day. It also provides moisture and leaves hair feeling softer. I like that I don't need to use a lot of product to get good results. The scent is pleasant without being too strong. As with any hair product, results may vary depending on curl type and the amount applied. Overall, I've found it to be a good option for helping define and control curly hair while adding moisture.
