My favorite shampoo
This is my favorite shampoo. It arrived with a plastic bag tied around it which was a good thing because about a third of it leaked out of the container. I knocked stars off for value since i had to scrape shampoo out of the bag and add it back to the container but wasn't able to get all of it.

Lost half my hair
Loved this and the conditioner at first. However, i noticed i was getting an itchy scalp, sores on my scalp, and i was losing soo soo much hair. I thought it was postpartum hairloss but it wasnt (coming up on 1 year postpartum). This has caused me to loose half of my hair weight. I dont know what ingredient is doing that but i will never use this again! This also gave me bad dandruff and i have never suffered from dandruff before in my life. Horrible. This does not lather well at all. I had to use so much product to even get a lather. My hair would always be a stiff knotty mess.

Soft & Clean Hair
This shampoo leaves my hair nice and soft. I have wavy hair and at times it can get rather unruly. But this I find helps to tame the frizz. And it smells great. I purchased the pump bottle, and trying to get it to work at first was a chore, but I got it going.

Great for dehydrated curly hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Details: 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. My husband's experience: My 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.

A new shampoo in the rotation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to use this conditioner about 3x before I decided that I really liked three things about this product. 1) It cleans your hair really well while adding moisture. 2) You only have to use a mininal amount 3) Rinses out fairly well without leaving any residue behind.

Cantu sulfate free shampoo
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Despite being sulfate-free, this shampoo effectively cleansed my hair and scalp without leaving behind any residue. It effortlessly removed buildup and impurities, leaving my locs feeling refreshed and revitalized. Being sulfate-free I did not expect the nice rich lather the shampoo created. The only con that I experienced with using this product was that that it left my hair a little bit dry. I did follow up with the Cantu Sulfate-free conditioner and my loca felt better after.

Cleans without drying out
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using this cream shampoo on my son who has curly hair. I noticed that it cleans the scalp and hair well without drying it out and it leaves it moisturized and shiny. It also helps to enhance his curls! No more dry and brittle curls! The scent is also nice.

GIVE IT A TRY! A MUST
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried the Cantu shampoo and conditioner on my children and myself, and we were thrilled with the results. My kids have very curly, frizzy hair that is often dry and difficult to detangle. However, after using the Cantu products, their curls were perfectly defined, soft and bouncy. The shampoo cleansed their hair gently without stripping the natural oils, leaving it moisturized but not greasy. My 3-year-old kept saying "Mommy, my hair smells so good!" - the scent is sweet and fruity without being overpowering. The conditioner was incredibly effective at softening and smoothing the curls, making them much easier to comb through. I applied a generous amount after shampooing, letting it soak in for a few minutes before rinsing. My kids were so excited to have me wash their hair for once! Usually it's a battle with lots of tears. The Cantu products made the whole experience enjoyable for all of us. Their curls looked healthy, shiny and defined - not a frizz in sight. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Cantu shampoo and conditioner for anyone with curly or difficult to manage hair. It cleanses gently, conditions deeply, smells amazing, and transforms unruly curls into soft, beautiful spirals. My kids and I will definitely keep using these products as our new holy grail for curl care.
