Cantu Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel with Shea Butter for Pure Hair, 13 oz (Packaging Could Range)

Hair journey is improving more and more
Love the smell. I switched my shampoo and conditioner to a no scent one (it’s better for your hair) and I rather like smelling nice and I don’t want to spray my hair with perfume, that kind of defeats the purpose. I didn’t see anywhere on the container about a smell so I figured it didn’t have one, oh boy it does. I was very surprised and very happy. It can be overwhelming to some people, but I really like it and it isn’t as strong as when your hair is dry.
Now how it works. So I’ve been on a natural hair journey for about a year now, with not using any heat in about 8 months or longer. Even with using heat often before my hair was not damaged.
I’m the only one in my family that has thick course and curly hair, I would classify my hair with 3b curly and wavy hair. I am Italian but I’m the only one that inherited the hair, everyone else has fine hair that does fall flat naturally.
I’ve switched my pillows to silk to reduce frizz and it also helps with face aging.
Before this product I would use Aussie hair spray and spray my hair after a shower and go to bed with my hair flung over my pillow. This helped a lot with learning what kind of body my hair has naturally. It minimizes the frizz and it wasn’t stiff (since my hair was so wet when I applied)
Now I use a silk cap that I wear to bed. It takes longer for my hair to dry. But my hair has never looked so defined. Then I found this product because I didn’t want to keep using hairspray and it still had frizz when using hairspray and I wanted it to be even more defined.
So the first thing I noticed when I opened this was that the smell was amazing and tropical. Sometimes I smell mango, sometimes pineapple, and sometimes coconut. It’s a wild ride but I think it just overall smells amazing and tropical.
I apply it after I take a shower and go to sleep with my hair wet. I used it with the silk cap I have and it was absolutely amazing. It was defined for the most part. I definitely have to play with it more but I think it’s a great step for my hair.
It does have a decent hold, which is exactly what I wanted. My hair is still soft but you can definitely tell that there is product in it, which I don’t really like but it looks great and it isn’t crunchy or anything like that, so I think I have to concede on that bit for now.
My one issue is it can be a little clumpy. After I apply it to my hair and my hair is dry, I notice small amounts of white specs throughout my hair. It isn’t noticeable unless you look extremely close but I don’t like that aspect of it. So if you use it, make sure to rub it between your hands to break it down a bit more, that seems to help for me.
My hair is overall very healthy even when I was straightening it all the time, so it is still healthy. I only use this in my hair before bed and when I wake up I use some argon oil to help with shine and making my hair look more fresh. I really try to stay away from having extensive hair and beauty routines, the simpler the better in my opinion. I do think a silk cap can help a lot of people with frizz. And I never even really thought of wearing a cap until I tried the curly hair method and tried to use cotton tshirt to wear my hair up at night (which absolutely helps, definitely try it if you haven’t.) but the shirt could be kind of bulky and uncomfortable to sleep with.
So I recommend this product hands down, and without a doubt. I also suggest getting either a silk cap or silk pillows or both to help battle frizz and aging. I got them both on amazon.

Works good
Has a medium hold. It’s a cream rather than gel, so it’s lightweight. Does not give it that hard shell around the curl. Smells good.

How did no one tell me about this before?!!
This stuff is crazy good for curly hair. I’m halfway through my first jar. I’ve been using it over a year at this point, and my hair has never been smoother or healthier.
My hair is very fine and it’s texture is a combo of tight waves and chunky ringlets. Before I started using this gel, I figured out that cream conditioners make my hair frizzy, so I started using oil instead, which made my hair healthier but didn’t do much for curl definition. This was EXACTLY what I needed. I use a quarter-sized dollop for my chin-length hair – after applying oil and while my hair is still very wet. There’s no cast or flaking. I have to use an absurd amount before my curls start to look or feel stiff. This stuff works better than any salon quality products I’ve used.
My only complaint is that it has a fairly strong smell. It smells clean and pleasant, but it’s a little too fruity to go well with the perfume/deodorant scents I wear. A small price to pay for the results though!

Works great on my curly hair!
I have this product on subscription. I can not run out! I use it every day and it makes my curly hair more manageable. Yes, I recommend this Cantu Twist and Lock Gel.

Tengo mi cabello procesado y de verdad que este producto me hidrato super bien me queda el cabello suavecito y brillante como si lo tuviera mojado pero seco. Ningún producto me había funcionado tan bien como este.

What’s not to love. It smells amazing, made with oils it softens hair but helps curls and waves form and hold without stickiness and crunch. I’m not a fan of products in my hair for styling because I don’t like how it makes my hair feels. This product leaves my hair feeling natural and I absolutely love it. I have controlled curls with no residue and product build up. It’s fabulous. Give it a go

Ne colle pas , bonne odeur .
