  • FAVORITE HAIR PRODUCT
Scent: Coconut Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I use many Cantu products and this one has the best hold and the curl pattern maintains all day.

  • A new staple product in my collection!
Scent: Clean Scent, Shea Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I would compare this to the Kinky Curly styling gel Custard, which is my favorite of all the natural hair custards for curly hair. That stuff is amazing on my curls. However, the price is not so forgiving to my pockets! This Cantu Custard is a life saver! Just when I thought there were no products to come close to the Kinky Curly Custard, I stumble upon this stuff! I used it yesterday after I washed and conditioned my hair (its the only product I used at all) & to my surprise, it works like the Kinky curly product. Camilla Rose makes a similar product too called "Curling Jelly." That's my stand by product. Its expensive too, like the Kinky Curly Custard, & the results arent as great, texture is similar to custard in the Camilla Rose product, but clearly not a custard. The first PRO I have on this product is the price! The one thing I love about Cantu natural hair styling products is the price. Most of the product line is affordable. It also smells great. It has that famous "Cantu scent" to it. And im pleased with the results. The trick to custard application is using little to absolutely no other product with it. If you are using any other product with it, make sure its not a "cream". Hair also must be soaking wet during application. A water bottle, and your fingers, is really all you need during application of a hair custard (follow directions on label). The custard seems to do very well on 4b even 4c hair types. Mines is 4A/4b. From the videos and reviews I have seen, with the best results, the hair type has been of females with type 4 natural hair. After application is done, I always let my hair "air dry". I wash in the morning (early in the day), this way my hair has hours to dry. Once its dry, it will have a cast. You do not want to start pulling your strands apart dry- with the cast. First you want to either wet your hands & scrunch your hair, or apply oil to your hands & scrunch your hair prior to separating your curls. Otherwise this is where the FLAKING comes in at. TIP: While my hair is still wet, I shake it like crazy, during application. Up down side to side! This will keep the hair from laying flat like a hat or helmet, & gives you natural volume- when it dries. It also separates the curls. So shake your head every once in a while during application, and while the hair is drying.👍🏾 This stuff has long lasting results. For example, I covered my hair with my bonnet, went to sleep, woke up expecting the worst under the bonnet. To my surprise, my curls was still in tact. I just put some oil on my hands again, scrunched my curls (they were soft at this point) pulled it out, to fluff it back out from laying down all night, and voila! I was out the door. Without using any extra hair products in my hair, no gel for touching up, no leave in moisturizures, styling sprays, or anything. Just fluff and go! So the results LAST! ... show more

  • Nice Clean non greasy & priced right
Scent: Coconut Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It was non greasy , it is a slimy texture at first but it’s actually clean , dries so nice , no residue on your hands ! Smells nice , leaves hair feeling nice too , it didn’t leave my hair weighed down at all , but it didn’t give it the shine I’d hoped for either & it still left some of my ends frizzy , however it did help other areas of my hair for styling with use with my hot iron !! I have thick coarse semi curly/wavy hair & it helped hold my style all day and even in the humidity of Calif Coast ! That’s awesome ! So it did help maintain frizz control when I used it in conjunction with my hot iron ! 😃😃😃 ... show more

  • Makes natural curls shine and juicy
Scent: Coconut Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It’s almost like a gel but it doesn’t leave your hair super hard but it does tighten the curl and keep it locked. No fly always. The other cantu products have changed and are all terrible now. This is the only one left worth anything. Product last a long time in your hair and you don’t have to use a lot of it. So you wont have to use a ton of product and buy one after the other. The jar will last you a while. I have naturally tight curly mixed hair. So I don’t know what it does to other types of hair. But I like the results so would recommend to other people with tight curls. ... show more

  • Nice
Scent: Clean Scent, Shea Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Very nice scent. The consistency is good too. It does flake your hair after it’s dried so it best to fluff your hair after it dries. Overall good product and would recommend.

  • Good hold, but flakey.

Love the texture of this product, but be warned that it does cause some flaking if applied too heavily.

  • My new favorite product
Scent: Coconut Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My daughter and I both have curly/coil hair. This custard doesn't leave a residue and tames those locks. Kinda an odd texture but you get over it once you see what it does.
