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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
