Medium hold but beware of too much!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *I received this product complimentary from Cantu and Influenster for my honest review* I absolutely love Cantu! I have a very weird texture and my hair is very very thick and curly- which of course leads to frizz! I used the Cantu Weightless Gel immediately (see next photo!) and I really liked the result. It was less frizzy and definitely help keep the curls curls! It definitely can make your hair crunchy if you use too much (which I’ve done) but if you use just enough for your hair, you’ll be just fine! I use it whenever I wash my hair now and it’s a normal part of my routine now, so I’ll absolutely be buying this again when I run out! Thank you so much to Cantu and Influenster for this complimentary product! It was great!

Pretty good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have curly hair and I enjoyed this product. It made my hair shiny and smelled clean. It did hold well but it definitely leaves a lot of residue but overall enjoyed it.

Gel Hold + No Frizz 10/10
This gel is 10/10 !! My curls were absolutely perfect. I have fine 3B/C low density curls, this gel has high slip and feels very lightweight, exactly what my curls need. This gel provided solid hold in high humidity and prevented frizz. Highly recommend this product

Love how I feel my hair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cream for my hair because it’s lightweight and leaves my hair feeling soft. It helps make my curls look beautiful and hydrated. If I apply it before styling, it helps me detangle my hair really well, which means less damage to my hair. I received this for free from Influenster and Cantu in exhchange for my honest review.

Light hold better for waves
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing is that I loved the smell of this product. But unfortunately, it just didn’t give my curls the smoothness or the hold that they need. It’s a very light hold and definition instead of a medium, and this may be better for wavy hair instead of true curls.

Smells amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have always been a fan of the Cantu products! First off this gel smells amazing!! My hair isn't crunchy even if I use to much. Living in a place with humidity this has just enough hold not to make my hair go wild.

Curl definition without the frizz!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster & Cantu for sending me this product for my honest review. I love a good styling product for my naturally curly hair! It’s a leave in styling product that makes your curls look defined without the frizz that we curly girls know and hate. I do think this product is nice for curls and super affordable. I recommend for a good daily curl definer!

Fine overall but not my favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this product works "okay". I don't really care for how it smells, but I think that might be an issue with agave. My hair doesn't get as curly as it does with other products. The waves it gives me do stay in, but I'd rather have a product that gives me more curl. I do use the air dry method so using heat could vary results!

Lovely Scent. Decent Hold. Leaves Flakes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary full size,10 fl oz, bottle of Cantu Weightless Smooth + Hold Gel for free from Influenster and Cantu in exchange for my honest review. Cantu Weightless Smooth + Hold Gel worked fairly well on my daughter’s curly 3C/4A hair type. Her curls were more defined and held up almost all day, not nearly 48 hrs as promised. This lightweight hold gel also made my naturally locked hair feel smoother and look less frizzy. The results were short-term for my dry hair. We both experienced noticeable white flaking. I love the pleasantly light (almost tropical) scent. This reasonably priced vegan gel is made with organic fair trade blue agave and has a thick consistency. It is easy to dispense and apply. I love the Cantu brand and will purchase this weightless gel in the future, as well as recommend it.

Lightweigh hold with less frizz!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great medium hold gel that doesn't leave my hair crunchy. It holds the curls and reduces frizz but still leaves plenty of movement and bounce. It felt creamy kind of like a mix between gel and mousse. I slept in it and the next morning my hair still looked good enough to just go out in.

Flawless
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hold and the scent is top tier. So far no residue, flaking. I’m not a big fan of cantu but this one just works, I have zero complaints so far. Definitely try it
