Wonderful Overall
Came on time and contents had all safety rappers intact. This is the 1st time I've used Cantu Twist & Lock Curl Gel and for $4.97 I figured I'd try it. I've used nearly all of the higher priced products and many do fine but often leave a redidue behind. I've spent $60 on some years ago. Then I bought Pantene Curl Pudding that I found in the store and I loved that as it holds well but dries a little crispy. Smells great.This product is easy, not sticky. If you finger twist for soft curls or tighter to keep your already natural ringlets more defined because you already have curl to your hair then this is an absolutely great product. When it dried you couldn't tell I'd used it. I was in a truck and my hair blew a little and it didn't plump up and frizz like I expected for not being a more crispy gel once it dried. There was a storm front and also some humidity.The shea butter is key. It gave my hair a beautiful conditioning for added protection.The next day I sprayed my hair a little with Johnson & Johnson Toddler Hair Detangler on about a dz strands on each side of my face due to sweating profusely in heat later to calm them down small facial area and then I combed the prior days beautiful curls with a smaller pick instead of the larger one that I'd used when my hair was wet.I have hair down to my bra strap therefore, the longer my hair gets then the heavier it gets and then I lose my "chemo" curl due as opposed to how it looks when its wet. First use, after the process stated above I'd scrunched and then lightly dried with a nlow dryer. I should've used a diffuser but didn't have one. Probably should've let it dry on it's own but I was in a hurry so it might have stayed less plump after the wind. I should've used twice as much product. Instead of putting it throughout my hair and then doing finger curls I used it one section at a time and twisted into curls.The beautiful soft wave and curl this product enhanced for the look I wanted today, used 1st yesterday and combed out today was absolutely beautiful. If I'd wanted the look I got yesterday then all I had to do was re-wet my hair, apply more product and twist again. I used very little so I expect this to last me some time and my hair is somewhat thick. I wouldn't have any worries about it being greasy because it's a very light product. My hair is somewhat dry and needs the conditioning. My hair isn't processed but I would highly recommend for processed hair.If you're looking for something with crispier curls in the wind then I swear by Pantene Curl Pudding.Smells beautiful but not over powering.

Keeps my curls, reduces frizz on straight hair
Saw this in a YouTube video, and so glad I got it, my first ever curl gel. It's nice and cheap, and works great!I have 2b waves (I think? they vary a lot), and if I let my hair air dry with no product, it's slightly frizzy. I bought this for encouraging natural curls, but I actually even use it if I want straight hair, to reduce frizz. It works great. I use this with a heat protectant curl cream out of the shower. If I want curls, I use a moderate amount and scrunch. If I want light waves, I use less and don't encourage the curl with scrunching or diffusing, can even comb it while damp to encourage straightness. If I think I'll be styling with heat later, I use a little before air drying to reduce frizz. Using this makes my hair much more defined and less frizzy, helps it air dry faster, and keeps it looking great for more days. The only disadvantage is if I go straight, I have to wash my hair sooner due to the amount of product looking oiler after a few days. But I prefer that to frizz and poof. Weirdly, when I encourage my curls with scrunching, my hair doesn't look oily days later even when I used a lot of product.It smells like piña colada, so I hope you like that.

A Must-Have for Defined Curls!
Cantu Moisturizing Twist & Lock has quickly become a staple for my son’s hair care routine; its smooth consistency makes application easy, and the shea butter and natural oils keep his hair soft and hydrated. It defines his curls beautifully with minimal frizz and has a pleasant, light scent. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their natural curls or twists!

Not Ideal for Locs, but Perfect for Curl Definition
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.

THESE PRODUCTS CHANGED MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE
"If you have curly or wavy hair, you have to try the Cantu Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle! I have curly hair and have always struggled with dryness and frizz. Since I started using these products, I've noticed a huge difference.What I like most is that they are sulfate-free, which is very important for my hair type, as sulfates tend to dry out hair. Shea butter, which is one of the main ingredients, has done wonders for my hair, leaving it super moisturized and soft.The shampoo cleanses really well without drying out, and the conditioner detangles my hair easily, which saves me a lot of time. My curls are more defined and less frizzy, which is a huge win for me!Plus, the value for money is great! Excellent. You get a good amount of product for a reasonable price.If I had to mention one negative, it would be that the shampoo doesn't lather very well, but that doesn't affect its cleansing ability.Overall, I'm very happy with this shampoo and conditioner bundle. I totally recommend it to anyone who has curly, wavy, or afro hair and is looking for products that hydrate, define, and reduce frizz."

Wonderful for curls
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.
