IIf you have thick, curly hair, you should definitely give this a try. I've been using it for almost a year now, and it makes my curls look beautiful and well-defined! It’s not heavy on thick hair, but if you don't have thick hair, it might not work as well. your hair oily! But overall I love it and it worked for me, and made my curls look better! ... show more

    • It Actually Works!
Scent: Shae butter Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've tried so many products over the years. Several were much more expensive. I didn't expect this to work due to the low price, but it actually did! I'm shocked. For the first time in my life I'm able to truly hydrate and define my curls. It doesn't make my hair look greasy, either.

    • Works Great for Some Hair Types, But Porosity Matters
Scent: Shae butter Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased this Cantu curl activator cream for my teenage son who has 2a curls, and it’s been a solid choice for his hair care routine. As any parent of a teenager knows, getting them to commit to an elaborate hair routine is nearly impossible, so I needed something simple but effective. This product fits the bill perfectly - just wash, condition, and apply. For my son’s hair type, this cream does exactly what it promises. It provides good moisture without making his hair greasy, helps with curl retention, and defines his natural curl pattern nicely. The smell is pleasant, which is always a bonus when you’re dealing with teenagers who are particular about these things. It eliminates frizz effectively and doesn’t weigh down his 2a curls, which can be a concern with heavier products. However, I learned an important lesson about hair porosity with this product. I also tried it on my other child, and it was a completely different story. Their hair has lower porosity, and the cream left a white film that took forever to work through and absorb. It just sat on top of the hair rather than penetrating and doing its job. This experience really highlighted how crucial it is to consider your hair’s porosity when choosing products. For higher porosity hair like my son’s, this cream absorbs well and provides the moisture and curl definition it promises. But for less porous hair, it can create buildup and that frustrating white residue. The product itself is good quality - it works well on various curl types from what I’ve seen, particularly thicker 3b/3c textures, and the 12 fl oz size gives you plenty to work with. Just make sure to consider your hair’s porosity before purchasing. If you have low porosity hair, you might want to look for something lighter or specifically formulated for that hair type. ... show more

    • It Works the First Time!
Scent: Shae butter Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Hands down the best curl reactivator I've ever used! It usually takes me about a week to get my curl back to the way I like it after straightening it for a while. Not with this product! One use and my curl is back without the sticky, heavy residue! I will definitely buy again!
