CantuMoisturizing Twist & Lock Gel with Shea Butter for Natural Hair, 13 oz

I tried this hair gel hoping it would be a good fit for my hair, but it didn’t quite work with my texture (4A), it didn’t hold the way I needed. That said, I was really impressed by how well it worked for my friend, whose hair texture is closer to a 2 (looser curls/coils). It gave great hold without flaking or crunchiness, and kept his style in for a few days.The scent is clean and not overpowering, and the texture of the gel itself is smooth and easy to apply. While it wasn't the right match for me personally, I can definitely see it being a fantastic product for those with looser curls or coils.Worth trying if your hair leans toward Type 2 or Type 3 and you’re looking for strong, lasting definition without stiffness.

Where have you been all my life? I wasn't sure about this product because it looks like a cream but decided to try based off the great reviews. Glad I did! I over did it the first time trying it but it left my hair frizz free, really curly and soft. Even the second day my hair still doesn't look frizzy. Can't wait for tomorrow to wash my hair again and try again. Must try.

I have been in search of the perfect curl product that works for me and my curls. I FOUND it!! Great smell and easy to use. The curls are soft and it is just amazing. This pic was even after a nap.

The product is good

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.
