Product developed mold very quickly. I’ve never seen this happen. Must be a quality control issue

Natural ingredients Smells DELICIOUS lol Feels like edge control but when applied to hair has hold like a gel Adds s bit of shine depending on how much you use. I always use a fingertip amount when starting my braids and then another fingertip amount in the meddle then the end. My hair feels soft but has the gel like hold if I use it to slick back a pony tail. I use it on my sons locs versus actual loc gel
Couldnt use

Mold?! I saw this in a different review as well but thought maybe it was a one off.

I’ve bought this product twice to braid my daughter’s hair, have neat ponytails and edges. Seems to work pretty well and it isn’t too stiff or watery.
Not great for course hair texture

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn’t have great hold to it, was not good on my course hair nor my daughters. If you have any type of 4 hair wouldn’t recommend. Basically was like putting Vaseline in our hair.

I use this gel for my daughters fly aways. She is a cheerleader and it helps to keeps her hair in place for tumbling and flying. It also washed out easily. And it smells great!

My daughter ended up getting foliculitis and swollen lymph nodes behind her ears. A dermatologist ended up prescribing her antibiotics and asked me to stop using any new hair products since she developed the bacterial infection. When I got home and looked at any new products I had used on her, I noticed that this gel had black mold in it! After calling the dermatologist he confirmed that mold in a product definitely would have caused her bacterial infection. Took almost 2 months before her lymph nodes went back to a normal size! Please check your container for mold, or better yet buy a different product!
Great for two strand twists

I use this to two strand twist my sons hair, it gives it shine as well as a god hold. It’s pretty thick so a little goes a long way. It lays his hair down with it being too heavy. I love it
for locs

It’s good if you’re on a strike of now hard gels, it’s semi-firm but has to be paired with another product to stay. Over all great gel could be priced down though.
Great for twist out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product comes like so many of Cantu's smells very good. But that's not the best thing about it. It helps make for a great twist out, and it left my hair feeling pretty soft. It also can be used as a Curl defining gel.
Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this styling gel. I used on the kids and it's really great. It doesn't leave a hard shell like feel for long. Would have got 5 stars if it held out for a bit longer but otherwise really great.
Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I like the most about this braiding gel is the fact it doesn’t flake up! It does not cause excessive drying! It doesn’t turn white! Good around the board 🥰
Favorite Gel!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. Instead of using it for braiding and twisting, I used it for a sleek bun. It sleeks very well and leaves a glossy finish. Also, it smells really good and doesn’t leave a residue. I definitely recommend.
