I really enjoyed ur review. Thank u for mentioning the flake issue w/ Cantu cuz I hate flakes! I'm def gonna try the Kinky Curls.ur hair is absolutely gorgeous btw.
Just picked up the Cantu one, I absolutely love the results! Also thank you for day 2,3 & 4 updates not many you tubers do that and honestly it helps so much!! Pls more curly hair videos 💛💛💛
Yeah, I'm with it. The flakes are nothing. I wld much rather deal with that than to pay damn near $20 for a baby jar of hair product, NO WAY! Thank you for doing this video, you helped a lot ($17 worth 😄 )
I swear if Cantu didnt flake, it would be my go to gel. The way it leaves my curls is AMAZING not to mention the smell!! Yes! But until they get that flaking under control, Kinky Curly is bae. Great review! Thanks for showing how both gels hold up throughout the week! Not many people do that.
Hi, thank you & I agree if it didn't flake it would be one of my top favorite to go products but in the mean time the kinky curly has never let me down.
This is late but, using the Cantu Coconut Curling Cream over the custard (use a small amount of the custard) helps the flaking, I get little to no flaking.
I'm late to the party BUT.. the Cantu side has me side eyeing the Kinky Curly heavily 😒😒... Those minimal flakes are nothing in comparison to the size & cost of the Kinky Curly.. I'm definitely gonna purchase the Cantu custard!!!
Unfortunately, my hair does not like coconut oil at all. So this didn't work for me and I just bite the bullet for Kinky-Curly! So glad it worked for you and definitely enjoyed your video!
+Edmarys I love it. I've been using for at least 7 years. I only use Kinky-Curly, Jane Carter Solution and Deva Curl. Kinky-Curly is my go to in the warmer months and the other two I use during the colder months.
I never get flakes with any gel/custard, probably because I make sure my hair is pretty wet, not just damp. Just got the Cantu custard today...will be trying it maybe tonight.
My gosh your curls are stunningly beautiful!!!! I sort of stumbled on your channel. I have been on my natural hair journey for about 2 years after straightening my hair for more than 50 years. I'm soaking up as much curly info as I can. One thing I have discovered is that when white flakes occur it is because my hair is not wet enough when I apply the product. Anyway....great video. Lots of info and loved the comparison. Thanks!
Thank you so much :) :) Wow 50 years of heat is a long time, my mom has also been straightening her hair for more than 30 years, Im glad your transitioning and embracing your natural hair :)
Thanks for the comparison video! I've been wanting to try the KCCC but will now try Cantu custard on the count it is less expensive! Woohoo, nice to save the money for some other products or more of the same! Thanks and as always your hair looks gorgeous!!
Great review!!! I just bit the bullet and purchased Kinky-Curly . But it felt really tacky. It was better the next day. Really appreciate updates as well.
Hi appreciated the video I was wanting to really try the Cantu custard but was worried about the flakes but now that i see how beautifully defined your curls were I will pick it up the next shopping trip I take! Also for a video idea maybe you could do the Cantu curl activator and maybe combine it with other Cantu products and do vs she’s moisture or something like that thanks!
I love love love that you do a 2, 3 ect. Day hair! I'm trying to get my hair healthy after wearing it up in a messy bun for almost 5 yrs straight (my children loved to play pull or get sick tmi on my hair) I've just started this journey of finding the right products. My hair is usually a soft to semi tight ringlets to curly sections. My little girl's are pretty much the same. Thank you for thus review!
Yay! I am so glad to have finally found someone with my same hair pattern and color😀. I recently moved to a humid climate and decided to start using the kinky curly custard and aside from some crunchiness I like how it holds and elongates my curls. Thanks for the review!
This was suuuuper helpful, thank you! I have healthy 2b waves and I always have to prep my hair with a little bit of oil prior to using my styler. I find the Kinky Curly to be a tad oily and it seems to leave my hair so soft that it frizzes easily. Second day hair was a weird mess for me because of it. After switching up to ECO gel I've learned that my hair seems to need that crunchy cast to keep from being frizzy. Did you happen to notice a difference in hydration between the Kinky-Curly and the Cantu Custard? Also, I've read that using oil and/or a leave-in helps to eliminate that flaking so maybe give that a go. Cantu makes a great leave-in cream that's light enough even for my waves.
Hello Edmarys! Thank you for posting this video and doing the product comparison. Based on your results, I went ahead and bought the Cantu curly custard and I love my results!! My hair is super defined and shiny with no frizz! I'm happy that I discovered your channel because you also like the shiny, super defined curl look that I'm after. Thanks for offering alternatives to the high priced products that aren't always budget friendly. Your curly hair is so beautiful!😍
Beautiful results and a great comparison :) I need to try the cantu product ❤️ I love my kinky curly curling custard so it's nice to have a cheaper alternative. Maybe the white flakes were caused by using a different brand conditioner? Like maybe they didn't play well together?
Hi, that might be a possibility but I NEVER get white flakes and I use a ton of different products, I still love it though I got 5 day hair out of both :)
You hair is gorgeous. I can't wait for mind to get that long. It has been long all of my life but when I went natural. I had my beautician cut all of the curl off. It is long now but of course there is shrinkage so it looks short. But it is all good. I am enjoying the journey. I use the Tresemme Gel for Flawless curls.This gel holds my curls all day long and I have a bounce as well. I may try the Cantu Define and Shine. I already use the Cantu Curling, Activator for Natural Hair and the Daily Oil Moisturizer. They work great at such a great price. Great video. Please do more. Great job!!!
Hi :) I haven't tried the Tresemme Gel I will give it a try, my hair has been extra frizzy lately so I need something with hold but that doesn't give me crunchy curls.
Oh there is a little bit of hardness, but not the usual gel hard, but once you do the pineapple for the night and take it down the next that crunch is gone... You will be left only with the bouncing hair...
I used the Cantu and it’s nice, it’s just hard to find a leave in to go underneath other than the coconut curling cream. I need something hydrating. And I’m not the biggest fan of coconut oil anyway
how long do u keep your style..and how many times do u wash your hair in a week...i love ur curls i have the same type hair.im glad i found your channel..
Thank you, Im glad you found me too :) I usually keep my style for 4 days, after that my curls start to lose their shape so after day 4 If Im not to lazy to wash my hair I start throwing my hair up in a bun or pony tail, I co-wash every 4 to 6 days & clarify every 2 1/2 weeks or so.
I tried the kinky curly custard, and it dried my hair out! I used it with the knot today and my hair was frizzy and dry. I tried the cantu custard, but I also didn't really know how to care for my hair properly when I did try it. I'll have to try it again now that I know what I'm doing.
I love them both, try applying the products while your hair is really wet (but not dripping) and let it hair dry (or diffuse it). If you apply it while your hair is damped it will not work the same, it may leave you with dry crunchy curls.
Edmarys So I tried the kinky curly again. I love it! I like that it's a firm hold but not crunchy. It's the only thing that made my braided pigtails look great and reduced the hair bulk like it says. I think I'll continue to buy it because the cantu always left my hair dry and flakey. I think it was the coconut oil in it....
Hi, your hair looks great! I've used both products but haven't used the kinky one in a long time because it's so expensive, so I recently started using the Cantu custard. I've also used it with the coconut curling cream from Cantu as well. Does it make a difference using those together or alone? Also did you use any other product, like a leave in or something, in your hair before applying the Cantu Custard? Ty!
I get the flakes if I apply when my hair isn't fully wet, try applying it when your hair is really wet (not dripping but wet) hopefully it will work for you like it does for me :)
Wow, thanks for the video and some potential cost savings! Are you still using the Cantu? Found you while looking for some Kinky Curly custard reviews, as that was going to be my next try for this hair.
Im glad you found me :) Yes, Im still using the Cantu, I really like it but what I started doing is applying a different styling product to the top section of my hair so I wont get any of the flakes and use the Cantu on the rest of my hair.
Hey Edmarys, your curls look great and I really don't see any difference! I was wondering what you do with your hair when you sleep. I have to refresh my hair on a daily base because some of the curls turn into frizzy waves because I put my hair in a bun every morning before I shower. Btw I just bought the Kinky Curly custard & if that works out for me I'll definitely try the Cantu custard.
Hi, so sorry for the late reply. I just put my hair in a pineapple and put a head wrap on the front to avoid it from frizzing up while I sleep. I also have to refresh my curls a bit in the a.m but I think thats normal for all curly hair girls :)
Hey, thanks for your reply. Pineapple unfortunately stretches my curls (makes them waves lol). Still haven't found an solution. I also have to put my hair in a bun when I shower in the morning
Hi, not a dumb question at all, but yes I do spray a little bit of water on 2nd 3rd day hair etc, I have a video where I show what I do if you want to check it out :)
so Edmarys...question...are these products for people who already have curly/wavy hair to accentuate their curls or can a person with fine fairly straight hair use this product to create curls or waves? thanks for a good video and God bless
I really enjoyed ur review. Thank u for mentioning the flake issue w/ Cantu cuz I hate flakes! I'm def gonna try the Kinky Curls.ur hair is absolutely gorgeous btw.
Thanks love :)
Just picked up the Cantu one, I absolutely love the results! Also thank you for day 2,3 & 4 updates not many you tubers do that and honestly it helps so much!! Pls more curly hair videos 💛💛💛
Yay! Thank you :) Im glad it helped you out :) :)
Yeah, I'm with it. The flakes are nothing. I wld much rather deal with that than to pay damn near $20 for a baby jar of hair product, NO WAY! Thank you for doing this video, you helped a lot ($17 worth 😄 )

Hi, thank you & I agree if it didn't flake it would be one of my top favorite to go products but in the mean time the kinky curly has never let me down.
longNhealthy I find using a small amount of oil under the cantu helps with flakes.
This is late but, using the Cantu Coconut Curling Cream over the custard (use a small amount of the custard) helps the flaking, I get little to no flaking.
When does it start to flake up bc i wash my hair everyother day...Oh and my hair isn't naturally curly... Especially these curls...
A tiny bit of oil on the hair either before or or after applying helps reduce flakes
I will try that, thanks for the tip :)
This video is LIFE. Thank you for going into so much detail so we can see the true comparison of price, quantity, and results in time increments. 🤗
I'm late to the party BUT.. the Cantu side has me side eyeing the Kinky Curly heavily 😒😒...
Those minimal flakes are nothing in comparison to the size & cost of the Kinky Curly.. I'm definitely gonna purchase the Cantu custard!!!
Unfortunately, my hair does not like coconut oil at all. So this didn't work for me and I just bite the bullet for Kinky-Curly! So glad it worked for you and definitely enjoyed your video!
Ah no way, thats sucks :( wish you would have loved it. How are you liking the Kinky Curly?
+Edmarys I love it. I've been using for at least 7 years. I only use Kinky-Curly, Jane Carter Solution and Deva Curl. Kinky-Curly is my go to in the warmer months and the other two I use during the colder months.
Same. My entire body hates coconut, so Cantu is not for me. It was actually drying and greasy for me at the same time.
Same!! Anytime I use a product with coconut oil in it, it ends up leaving my hair hard
I never get flakes with any gel/custard, probably because I make sure my hair is pretty wet, not just damp. Just got the Cantu custard today...will be trying it maybe tonight.
Lucky. It "always" gives me flakes, the Kinky Custard is my holy grail.
I have been using Cantu for only a few weeks and I love it. Having naturally curly hair how did I not know about this!
It's great stuff ;)
I really wanna try Cantu!
I melt just watching this. The curls, your beauty...pure love.
Thank you :)
Never tried the cantu but I am obsessed with kinky curly
Kinky Curl is my favorite!
My gosh your curls are stunningly beautiful!!!! I sort of stumbled on your channel. I have been on my natural hair journey for about 2 years after straightening my hair for more than 50 years.

Thank you so much :) :) Wow 50 years of heat is a long time, my mom has also been straightening her hair for more than 30 years, Im glad your transitioning and embracing your natural hair :)
I just bought a few Cantu products but not the one you used. I think both sides look great.
Thanks for the comparison video! I've been wanting to try the KCCC but will now try Cantu custard on the count it is less expensive! Woohoo, nice to save the money for some other products or more of the same! Thanks and as always your hair looks gorgeous!!
Thank you so much, Im glad you found the video helpful :)
Great review!!! I just bit the bullet and purchased Kinky-Curly . But it felt really tacky. It was better the next day. Really appreciate updates as well.
Yip.. I suffer from flakage from Cantu as well.. but its the most reasonable accessible product for me at this time..
Hi appreciated the video I was wanting to really try the Cantu custard but was worried about the flakes but now that i see how beautifully defined your curls were I will pick it up the next shopping trip I take! Also for a video idea maybe you could do the Cantu curl activator and maybe combine it with other Cantu products and do vs she’s moisture or something like that thanks!

My hair is usually a soft to semi tight ringlets to curly sections. My little girl's are pretty much the same. Thank you for thus review!
Your so welcome, thank you for watching :) curl creams may work great for you if you have soft ringlets because it won't weigh down your hair.
Yay! I am so glad to have finally found someone with my same hair pattern and color😀. I recently moved to a humid climate and decided to start using the kinky curly custard and aside from some crunchiness I like how it holds and elongates my curls. Thanks for the review!
Yay! My pleasure, apply when your hair is damped for non crunchy curls :)
This was suuuuper helpful, thank you! I have healthy 2b waves and I always have to prep my hair with a little bit of oil prior to using my styler.

the Cantu curling custard has been my best friend for a few years!
I love the results I get with it :)

Thank you so much Milagros :) I am happy I was able to help and that the Cantu custard worked for you as well, Its one of my favorite products :)
omg ur hair so beautiful
Thank you :)
Thank you so much I was looking for exactly this!!! Thank you!
I love cantu!! You need to try the coconut curling cream by cantu and the leave in! 😻
I will def try it out :)
Beautiful results and a great comparison :) I need to try the cantu product ❤️ I love my kinky curly curling custard so it's nice to have a cheaper alternative. Maybe the white flakes were caused by using a different brand conditioner? Like maybe they didn't play well together?
Hi, that might be a possibility but I NEVER get white flakes and I use a ton of different products, I still love it though I got 5 day hair out of both :)
+Edmarys oh ok well that's awesome! That definitely outweighs the little issue ❤️ plus you said it was easily removed with water :)
Yes, Its still a great product at a great price.
You hair is gorgeous. I can't wait for mind to get that long. It has been long all of my life but when I went natural. I had my beautician cut all of the curl off.

Oh there is a little bit of hardness, but not the usual gel hard, but once you do the pineapple for the night and take it down the next that crunch is gone... You will be left only with the bouncing hair...
Your hair is gorgeous
I just got the kinky curly custard at Walgreens it was on sale for 13.00! That’s a good price compared to usual 😊
Cantu has glycerin in it. Kinky-Curly does not.
so helpful thank you! what lipstick are you wearing?
Thank you. I will get back to you on that one.
okay np
Ok I found them :) The dark one is called "Stirring" from the Ulta brand and the peachy orange one I had on for day 2 is called "Fleur" from L.A Girl
Thank youuuu sooo much😁😁
que Bella! Love your hair!
Thank you so much :)
Ahh! Thank you so much for sharing this info!! I just tried it yesterday and I love it!
Your so welcome :) Im glad you love it :)
Also, the roots on the cantu side look like they curl up more
Your hair looks great can't tell the difference with products
Thank you, I love them both
I love the Kinky curly one sooo much😍 i just dont have the conditioner and it doesnt work as well. Idkkk. Do i need the conditioner?
I do too, but no I don't think the conditions is "needed" there are many other leave-Ins out there for half the cost that will do the same thing.
I use the kinky curly gel in combination with the mixed chicks leave in conditioner. That works really well!
What is best cream to refresh curl plzz help mee
Bazeed Khan cantu curl activator cream
Cantu and that price 😍
The kinky curl side looks less defined and frizzy especially the back.
I used the Cantu and it’s nice, it’s just hard to find a leave in to go underneath other than the coconut curling cream. I need something hydrating. And I’m not the biggest fan of coconut oil anyway
Have you tried Carols Daughter? They have good non-coconut oil ones, I also like Living Proof.
Loved the comparison and gosh u r stunning. Just subbed x
Thank you so much :)
In Australia Kinky Curly is $42
That's insane!
how long do u keep your style..and how many times do u wash your hair in a week...i love ur curls i have the same type hair.im glad i found your channel..
Thank you, Im glad you found me too :) I usually keep my style for 4 days, after that my curls start to lose their shape so after day 4 If Im not to lazy to wash my hair I start throwing my hair up in a bun or pony tail, I co-wash every 4 to 6 days & clarify every 2 1/2 weeks or so.
Thanks for this review! I’m a Kinky Curly girl but the price 😣😫🤬 Will try Cantu next! Your curls are beautiful.
I wish I could afford $20 gel I already use a lot of products for my frizz
Try the Cantu one, It works great and its only $5 dollars or so
I tried the kinky curly custard, and it dried my hair out! I used it with the knot today and my hair was frizzy and dry. I tried the cantu custard, but I also didn't really know how to care for my hair properly when I did try it. I'll have to try it again now that I know what I'm doing.

I think I'll continue to buy it because the cantu always left my hair dry and flakey. I think it was the coconut oil in it....
Just bought the 16oz of the Kinky Curly Custard. It turns my frizzy hair into beautiful corkscrew curls. Wish I could add a picture on here...
Hi, your hair looks great! I've used both products but haven't used the kinky one in a long time because it's so expensive, so I recently started using the Cantu custard. I've also used it with the coconut curling cream from Cantu as well. Does it make a difference using those together or alone? Also did you use any other product, like a leave in or something, in your hair before applying the Cantu Custard? Ty!
Hi, I used both of these on their own, I haven't tried applying them with a leave in, I will next time :)
Kinky Kurly left the most white flakes for me. I stopped using it but I'll try again.
I get the flakes if I apply when my hair isn't fully wet, try applying it when your hair is really wet (not dripping but wet) hopefully it will work for you like it does for me :)
What do you do with your hair when you sleep to keep it from frizzing out? Braids? Tie it up? Something else?
I put it up in a pineapple ponytail & I sleep on a satin pillow case which helps with frizz (and wrinkles)
Love this video, but both the products cost the same in my country because they need to be imported 😐
Oh no :(
Wow, thanks for the video and some potential cost savings! Are you still using the Cantu? Found you while looking for some Kinky Curly custard reviews, as that was going to be my next try for this hair.
Im glad you found me :) Yes, Im still using the Cantu, I really like it but what I started doing is applying a different styling product to the top section of my hair so I wont get any of the flakes and use the Cantu on the rest of my hair.
que hizo para hacer crecer su pelo en 2 años.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Pineapple unfortunately stretches my curls (makes them waves lol). Still haven't found an solution. I also have to put my hair in a bun when I shower in the morning
Maybe you can try putting your hair in a satin cap while you sleep if the pineapple doesn't work for you.
Verry helpfull!
Thank you love! :)
has anyone ever tried curl keeper its a one step for the next morning curl fixer up,all u have to do is spray water into our hair scrunch and go
Ive never tried it, I'll look into it though, thanks :)
Your welcome, I love it it does put a little cast on your hair but when your hair dry' s just scrunch the more u scrunch the curlier it gets
Hello.Thanks for the video. Is this the Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream ?
Hi, no its the Cantu Define & Shine Custard, I have links in the description bar :)
So glad I found this video , New subscriber 😊
Thanks love :)
Edmarys you're welcome 💕
My cantu custard is liquid. Not slimy. So strange
it might be a stupid question but do you just spray water on your hair on day2 and day3 or do you reapply more product?
Hi, not a dumb question at all, but yes I do spray a little bit of water on 2nd 3rd day hair etc, I have a video where I show what I do if you want to check it out :)
I use that cantu custard as gel when I put my hair in a ponytail. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and it works
great review
Thank you :)
Thanks u so much
I still want to buy the Kinky custard! I have the Cantu but my hair texture is different than yours. So I’ll sacrifice myself and pay those $17 lol
Lol. Its pricey but its worth it, I know youre going to love it, Its still my all-time favorite styling gel.
I hate getting product-flakes ugghh
Me too
love you curls
Thank you!
Mines is 8.99😫😫😫
nice
so Edmarys...question...are these products for people who already have curly/wavy hair to accentuate their curls or can a person with fine fairly straight hair use this product to create curls or waves? thanks for a good video and God bless
With the kinky curly, you are also paying more for better ingredients. Cantu is loaded with chemicals and not as natural.
I would sell my soul to the devil for those curls!!!!
Lol. Thank you!! :) :)
