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!

No for me
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.

Amazing
I tried this sulfate free shampoo. It is really gentle on the hair, does not damage it, and protects it completely. It is a cleansing cream shampoo that deeply cleanses the hair and scalp. It does not cause dandruff, but protects against it. Its texture is with shea butter. It gently removes dirt from the scalp and hair. I recommend it.

Great shampoo for dry curly hair
Formulated without parabens, sulfates, alcohol, mineral oil, silicones, phthalates, paraffin or propylene to cleanse hair of heavy build up & refresh your scalp. Created with shea butter to nourish & condition hair while also preventing breakage. Hubby’s experience: Hubby has dry, dehydrated tight curly hair. This shampoo has a white opaque creamy texture with a delightful pineapple-coconut scent. It lathers well & cleanses his hair. He says it doesn’t stripping his curls of moisture or make his curls crunchy or dry. He likes this shampoo a lot especially as it leaves his hair soft & clean.
