My hair only responds to products that empty my bank account. But I’ve tried two or three Cantù things, and my review is that I’ve tried far worse stuff, and it smells good. Don’t understand why people hate it so much. BUT maybe it works better for European hair or what to call it. Which is kind of a fail for this brand.
I agree with you completely about my hair and I’ve used every single product that has ever come out from Cantú. My hair does not like Cantu products and their products do nothing for my hair whatsoever. I’ve even gone to professionals to get my hair washed and styled with Cantu products. As well as speaking to a dermatologist, they told me that there ingredients & formula used to make Cantu products my hair just doesn’t agree with.
I like cantu if I don’t have the money but need hair product I buy Cantù. I feel like it’s also just depends on the person. Not every product is going to work for everyone’s hair.
I happen to like Cantu 🤷🏽♀️ I started off with the leave in conditioning repair cream when I first went natural in 2009. Years later, my hair loves the curling cream & the curl activator cream. Hey if a product works for you, use it and forget what others say 😉💜 Your hair looks amazing Will 😍
I love Cantu as well. I’ve tried some of the more expensive products and had disappointing results. All the products Will used are what I use and, though my hair is much shorter, my curls are always on point. Lol!
Same. Those are the exact same products that my hair loves as well. Always left my wash n gos defined shiny and soft. Especially if I was using a tiny bit of olive oil eco styler on top to seal everything in. My wash n gos would last almost 2 weeks every time
i’ve stopped listening to the natural community once i realized how toxic & judgemental it is. it might be the same pattern/ type, but everyone’s hair is different and reacts differently to certain products. the gworls that stayed with cantu got RIPPED APART chile, it was bad 😂 but im glad they revised their formula because the end result looked amazinggg
I told people that if they don’t like Cantu, just use Pantene Gold series with Mixed Chicks. I told them tips like L’Oréal tea tree pre shampoo then use Pantene gold series hair shots on dry hair after co wash then keratin and Aragon oil. Twists, pin curls and cool blow dry or diffuser before bed is good for natural hair but the Natural hair community wouldn’t listen. Then they want to wonder why their hair stay falling out and why they are nappy head 🤷♀️
@@semoneg2826 omg that and she’s moisture curl enhance smoothie. I have tried expensive brands and black owned brands and nothing…but Cantu works wonders in my hair and my budget 😊
I’ve done Cantu since I started my natural hair years ago, never knew about all this drama, controversies surrounding it. When will the natural hair community fully comprehend that everyone’s hair reacts differently? Cause my hair’s been thriving.
I didn’t use it because it didn’t work for me, but I am just now learning about these controversies and dramas in 2024 … I learned what I needed to do for my hair and got out the game and just focused on me. I always thought that was the point of going natural, to be free to do what you want and not letting anyone, even other naturals, dictate what you do to your body 🤷🏽♀️
I have no dog in this fight about if Cantu can still do... but the humorous edits in a Will on a Whim video is ALWAYS WORTH THE VIEW and Cantu benefits from his attention in my book. Thanks for the laughs Will.
I can't do Cantu, but maybe my son can. I'm trying to train him to take care of his hair and personal hygiene, and Cantu is affordable enough that I can just set him up to help him build good habits.
They damaged my hair the first time after using them consistently for about a year and I’m too scared to trust them again. 😭 Started out strong and slowly started getting worse over time.
I will never cancel Cantu … me and my curls love me some Cantu.. that activator is my holy grail ♥️♥️ “ there was no cosmetic chemist in the conversation “ 😂🤣😂 that part… thanks will for sharing
I started using the coconut curling cream and omg my hair has never felt so great, as a black girl with extremely thick 3c hair, it definitely hydrated my curls❤❤❤❤ Cantu coconut curling cream I will keep using 😊
I’m so over some people saying something doesn’t work for black or coily hair/ it’s only for waves and straight hair. Everyone’s hair is different. Just because something doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean other people can’t enjoy it. I especially hate when someone says they use Cantu and someone else replies with “ it WILL damage your hair overtime”. I don’t even use Cantu often, but that gets annoying.
No fr and they always use the build up as a reason 💀 clarifying shampoos exist- Cantu builds up easily but I use a clarifying shampoo when I need it and my hair is great, I’ve used Cantu for a while now
For me cantu was nice for a while but i actually have experienced the drying after prolonged use for years. We all know that 4C hair cant be that dry all the time so it didn't end well for my hair and I think it being in the cheaper side does say something about what you're getting. I dont think i'll ever use it again but I dont deny it could be good for someone lol maybe if you have oily hair.
Its because of of your hair type ...its loaded with protein and you use it consistently for years that the problem right their..I always mix my products never use and entire product line expect or the first time
People call me childish but I have been natural for almost 10 years and all I use is Cantu. I am one month in my loc journey. My first wash is 9/3 and guess what I’m using. Cantu avocado shampoo. Love this stuff.
i’ve been using the curl activator for a year or 2 now and it’s literally the ONLY product i need & buy besides wetline & edge control. I have SUPER thick hair with several curl patterns throughout my head and this is the only thing that i love. no more product junkie natural hair tendencies for me.
Same I been using it for a year now and it’s the only thing that has made my natural curls pop pop…I also added the next day curls spray and together my curls be feeling themselves 😆
I’m a European, with Turkish roots, living in Germany, finding hair products that cater to textured hair is a real struggle over here. It’s been just a couple of years since we’ve had some options for curls, and one brand that we have now is Cantù. Even hairdressers don’t have a clue about how to handle and style curly hair properly. I can vividly remember the endless battle I had as a child, trying to comb through my frizzy, dry hair, with conditioners that felt like plain water. for us Europeans with a migrational background, Cantù is a huge step up.
The way the natural hair community just came for cantu and it ruined it's reputation 🤦🏾♀️ no one buys cantu no more because of everything they've heard about it but if u actually give the new line a shot it genuinely works. My local beauty supply stores be selling cantu as cheap as £2.99 and that's the shampoo and conditioner because literally no one buys cantu anymore
Cantu was the first product to work on my hair when I went natural. I don't know why folks hate on it, but it works for me. Never had a bad experience. Justice with what works. Forgot to mention your hair looked and looks fabulous!
I had a list of products I've used since 2013. Cantu was one of the first lines. I and had to knock most products off recently because I realized that my curly hair is fine and low porosity and my hair gets build up really easily so anything with shea butter is a no. No oils or butters in the top five ingredients. People automatically think curly mean coarse and I went along with that for so long. Now treating my hair like it's fine has done wonders.
Great review! I be so scared with custards just because they flake on my hair without gel but your results were impressive and bouncy! I love the new packaging but imma go with No on Cantu😂 This is definitely a “Imma let my content creators use it and enjoy their experience”moment🤣
When I came back to natural a decade ago, I tried various products. Cantu driiiiiiiied TF outta my hair. Your hair came out absolutely GORGEOUS though! Almost makes me wanna give Cantu another shot. But my hair is scared and traumatized, lol.
As a person who has purchased too many products that rarely work on my thick head of hair, I might give this a go. Gotta see how the bank account feels first though 😥
Okay, so...I never stopped using Cantu, even after they sold out. 🤧 I use their Shea Butter moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and she does what she needs to do!!! My hair and scalp are clean, non-flaky, and soft. Now, I don't use their moisture/sealing products. I just wash, condition, and use a blend of oils to seal in the water from my wash as I twist. I know the gworls say not to let your hair stay wet and to dry it, but this works for me! My (4c) hair has never been this healthy and my breakage has gone aaaaaaaall the way down.
Yassss! I've been using Cantu for years! ❤️ love it... dunno why people don't like it lol just because it's on the cheaper side lol 😆 I'll save my coins and use Cantu.
Thank you for doing this! I never stopped using the leave in and curling cream because they WORK, but my nieces dragged me for filth for wanting to use the shampoo 😭 I’m gonna try it now ain’t scared of them (Y’all bet not tell them tho 😡)
I liked the deep conditioning masque in the packet honey because I wasn’t going to try just to waste. The other product was the whipped buttercream. I most likely used too much product. The masque works well. The buttercream had my hair desert dry by day three.
I don’t listen to anyone but my hair. If it works, I keep it. If it doesn’t, I leave it. Once I learned how to take care of my own hair I stopped tuning in to what everyone else was doing and using and saying. That’s why I be so confused why everyone keeps letting other people’s opinions on things that probably have no scientific backing make them so frustrated. I cut my hair to the scalp and it grew back longer than it’s ever been by doing the methods I created for my unique head of hair. The proof is in the growth. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Be an individual.
I just saw your video. I am new to the natural hair journey due to breast cancer- chemo took out my hair and all of this is new to me. I appreciate your insight I am still in the - what I cal baby bird out of the egg phase. Fuzzy head. But I definitely will try Cantù as I go along this journey. Thanks for your information. ❤
@@Palehotdog it was tew gud... lets get the bill , purrr but in all honesty its really thicc .. you don't need a lot to lather the section and lowkey made me curls pop was lowkey thinking about using it as a leave in in conjuction with a regular conditioner
I'm back... it's been a while since I watched you channel. I think it was during covid when you were moving to you new home... I work from home now so I have plenty of time to catch up and enjoy your content😊😊. Always a pleasure to watch you ☺️
Some things work for some people. Cantu has always been trash for me so I stayed away from them. Product's are very hit or miss for me. Like I use the JBCO Shea Moisture shampoo but I have to use a different SM conditioner. Lol it's a process.
Yeah I'm definitely not sure why folks hate Cantu so much. I was late to the party because I was using it just fine. There are of course better products but it isn't horrible. The avocado one is really good and super hydrating actually but it is hard to find in the store the full line.
Cantu has been dry past few years , It’s owned by Europeans what you expect. Shea moisture got bought too by Europeans ain’t been the same since 2010-13
Baebeeeee I think Cantù was a right of passage for all naturals who were starting their natural hair journey 🤣🤣🤣 Funds were LOW, we had no idea what we were doing and where to start!! Cantù was like the Auntie welcoming us with open arms like come in in here baby I got you 😂😂😂😂
I tried Cantu a while ago and didn't care for it. I do appreciate Will for turning me onto Maui Moisture though. Everyone needs a cheap go to brand that somehow just works for their hair and can be found in CVS.
Cantu was my go to back when i did the big chop. haven't used it recently but this was a very convincing video to give it another try after so many years.
Ok but what you HAVE TO TRY is the Zotos All About Curls from Sally’s. I use their whole line. The lo-poo shampoo, divine treatment deep conditioner, leave in conditioner (which I didn’t like at first but it works really well with the rest of the products), taming cream, and high definition gel. Girrrrl I swear my curls have never been so poppin. Y’all TRY IT. I feel like it’s so underrated and no one ever talks about it.
i'm being Silly Rabbit Captain Obvious, but I wish we could just acknowledge that different hair is gonna favor different products. i look like a poster child for the natural hair community™, but I never liked the 0-100 tendency to be like "this stuff is NOT for us" to "this is IT, everyone should use it" lol idk my hair's always reacted well to certain Cantu products, but ofc other people aren't suddenly lying if they had a bad experience. likewise, that time i tried a line everybody was hyping up and i was flake city, never again 💀💀 but it worked for somebody!
I was just thinking I need to get a gel or something to do a wash n go. Now I’m thinking I need that custard. The no crunch, no flaking, and bouncy hair sold me!!!
Hiii I just wanted to tell you that this was the first vid of yours that I’ve watched in like 2 years I’m sorry!! But you were dealing with dandruff issues and a seemed a little stressed but damnnn sis I saw this one and you glowing!!! Happy for you love to see ppl doing better
Cantu has ALWAYS worked for my hair. ALWAYS. The curl revitalizer spray and the curl activator made my hair SO CURLY, so pretty and hydrated. But i always got online and people would talk about how bad cantu is. Its not bad, all alcohol is not bad. All products dont work for everyone. Cantu worked for me✋
CANTU is the only brand that works for me. I haven't tried there new packaged products, when I do I will know if it's an entire new formula or just new packaging.
I've tried several different shampoos/conditioners, leave-ins, oils and grease. What works best, and I like the best, is Cantu Shea butter shampoo/conditioner. I'll use Suave every once in awhile. For leave-ins and stylers, different products yield different results. So either..... *Cantu curling custard, which keeps my curls pretty tightly coiled and very shiny, almost wet looking. Medium thickness or volume. *Camille Rose oil with Blue Magic or Cantu grease for roots and ends, and comb throughout my hair. Curls coil up nicely. Hair does not have the "wet" look, like when I use the custard. Volume and thickness is on 10. Looks like I have bundles on bundles. 😄 *Camille Rose oil work Camille Rose Honey Hydrate; roots and ends, then comb through. No real tightness to the curls, at all. I could come my hair a couple of times, and it would just stay pretty much straight. Hair is super soft and volume is on 8.5. It's like a big old fluffy cloud.
This was too funny!!! Crazy thing is my hair responds to Cantù. I did try the custard but I couldn’t get rid of the crunch. I would rewet my hair and it would curl back up and be crunchy all over again. The curl activator with the leave-in gives my curls the right amount of hold. Great review!! I love all of your vids ❤️❤️❤️
Not me watching this like 3 tiiiimes!! Will honey you know you be having me weeeeak. All my gworls who automatically grab the life alert button when they see that notification stand up!! Every time you use the slip edit i end up on the floor right with ol' girl 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
I've been using Cantu for yeeeears!! I love me some Cantu on my hair and kids! My household curl pattern range from 3A to 4A maybe a little 4B. I don't see the negative fuss about it. If it doesn't work for YOUR hair then it doesn't work for YOUR hair. That doesn't mean you have to go telling people not to use it. People love the results of a product on someone else hair and then go buy the product thinking they will get the same exact results, then get disappointed when there hair doesn't look exactly like the person that inspired them to buy it. Not taking into consideration the texture of the hair, the health of the hair, etc. You can have the same curl type as someone but your overall texture be different, maybe one hair is a little finer then the other. My point is learn what works for YOUR hair. It's ok to try different products that you see other people using but just because you don't get the same results doesn't mean the product sucks, it just doesn't work for your hair.
I LOVE Cantu products and have been using them since 2010. It DOES matter what sequence of the products you put in for the right outcome. Love this video!❤❤
I love the creamy conditioner of Cantu, i had a lot of tangles before but it made my hair so soft and silky and easier to comb and dry. I use it together with OGX biotin Shampoo and Together with Perfectil Hair skin and Nails
Me neither, I never gave it a try till now because a friend recommended it even so our hair texture are super different we do usually like the same products just in different amounts😊
Cantu seems to work really well for other people and really bad for others. I have had really bad experiences with some of their products. So I don't really want to risk my hair amymore
Before I loc'd my hair I love Cantu but hated the consequences of the white demonic flakes... Not to mention they changed their leave in forumla up and had me confused. But I'm glad they updated their products I use for my daughter and no complaints yet.
I use Cantu on my hair. I only use the daily oil moisturizer as my leave in and then I blow dry and straighten. My hair LOVESSSSSSS IS. LOVE IT. I use it on my channel and people think I'm crazy. Now the shampoo and conditioner ain't all that. They just okay. They don't wow me. Like the formula just missing something something. But if the change things I'm, I'm willing to give the other products a try.
I shampoo and condition with Cantù and leave in and gel with Miss Jessie I have super curly hair that was all dead and had no life from straightening since I was 14 I’m 30 now One year into loving my hair and caring for it using these two brands my hair looks fantastic and is really curly my hair looks so good and so do both my daughters we always get so many compliments. I think you guys should try things for yourself and be your own judge. Stay blessed everyone.
Will, did you put the custard on over the curl activator or did you rinse the activator out off-camera? Thank you so much for your videos! I Love the Cantu whip and after watching this video I’m going to expand the rest of the product line.
My hair only responds to products that empty my bank account. But I’ve tried two or three Cantù things, and my review is that I’ve tried far worse stuff, and it smells good. Don’t understand why people hate it so much. BUT maybe it works better for European hair or what to call it. Which is kind of a fail for this brand.
Lol no because TGIN changed my life.
Cantu is owned by Europeans so it makes sense it's not for us.
it's because cantù changed their recipe and it started damaging peoples hair

Cantu was one of my first products when I was younger. It's super easy to use because it's not too thick. Def give it a try.
I love the fact that its water base.....
They damaged my hair the first time after using them consistently for about a year and I’m too scared to trust them again. 😭 Started out strong and slowly started getting worse over time.
Right! My hair hates it now and so does all my kid's hair. It's a no from me. Different things work for different people, I guess.
Same! My hair changed as well! I don’t trust them!
I used it years ago... It worked and then it stopped. My hair was dry and broke off. Never again! I only use oil and water.
Girl my hair was so damn draaahhhh
I stood by the argan oil leave in conditioner for YEARS and now it just makes my hair feel dead 😔
I have NEVER had a problem with Cantu. It works for my hair.
Your results 💣
Cantu made my hair fall out. It was so drying and my scalp was so flakey it was horrible, I will never try it again. 😭
exactly like fine if it works for other people but i ain''t going there no more
Same. At first it was EVERYTHING. Then the formula changed.... and my hair walked out. Never again 🤷🏽♀️
I guess it depends on your hair texture, because mine stays moisturized, even the next day.
@@obsidianbeau4087 yeah you could be right. My hair is 4c and it doesn’t agree with Cantù at all. Especially the leave-in conditioner.

I liked the deep conditioning masque in the packet honey because I wasn’t going to try just to waste. The other product was the whipped buttercream. I most likely used too much product. The masque works well. The buttercream had my hair desert dry by day three.
I don’t listen to anyone but my hair. If it works, I keep it. If it doesn’t, I leave it. Once I learned how to take care of my own hair I stopped tuning in to what everyone else was doing and using and saying. That’s why I be so confused why everyone keeps letting other people’s opinions on things that probably have no scientific backing make them so frustrated. I cut my hair to the scalp and it grew back longer than it’s ever been by doing the methods I created for my unique head of hair. The proof is in the growth. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Be an individual.
True
I thought you did a video before that stated that Cantu left white residue on your hair. This is an improvement for them for you. A win!
I just saw your video. I am new to the natural hair journey due to breast cancer- chemo took out my hair and all of this is new to me. I appreciate your insight I am still in the - what I cal baby bird out of the egg phase. Fuzzy head. But I definitely will try Cantù as I go along this journey. Thanks for your information. ❤
No bc I started SCREAMING when I seen that MOVEMENT AND THAT DEFINITION!!!! 😍😍🥰👏🏽 PERIODDDDD
The flaking made me flee for my life but looks like they fixed it. Thank you for experimenting.
just did my hair with the deep treatment masque in that line
edit: i got it bc the bottle was pretty lol
How was it? I love their protein mask. I get so much slip and moisture with it.
The bottles are def cute!
@@Palehotdog it was tew gud... lets get the bill , purrr
but in all honesty its really thicc .. you don't need a lot to lather the section and lowkey made me curls pop was lowkey thinking about using it as a leave in in conjuction with a regular conditioner
Pretty and or fun bottles is what sucks me in to buy drugstore haircare sometimes too. Lol
This is what I meant when I asked you to do more natural hair review videos , I love them lol
Your hair came out beautiful Will! Honestly it looked very moisturized and maybe your best wash and style? 👀😍 😁
I'm back... it's been a while since I watched you channel. I think it was during covid when you were moving to you new home... I work from home now so I have plenty of time to catch up and enjoy your content😊😊. Always a pleasure to watch you ☺️
Getting the shampoo for sure. Looks like it cleansed & moisturized your hair to the Gods. Love the results.
Some things work for some people. Cantu has always been trash for me so I stayed away from them. Product's are very hit or miss for me. Like I use the JBCO Shea Moisture shampoo but I have to use a different SM conditioner. Lol it's a process.
a whole process...literally a second job lmao
Will your skin looks amazing!!! Are you still using Curology?
yup!
Yeah I'm definitely not sure why folks hate Cantu so much. I was late to the party because I was using it just fine. There are of course better products but it isn't horrible. The avocado one is really good and super hydrating actually but it is hard to find in the store the full line.
Cantu has been dry past few years , It’s owned by Europeans what you expect. Shea moisture got bought too by Europeans ain’t been the same since 2010-13
Baebeeeee I think Cantù was a right of passage for all naturals who were starting their natural hair journey 🤣🤣🤣 Funds were LOW, we had no idea what we were doing and where to start!! Cantù was like the Auntie welcoming us with open arms like come in in here baby I got you 😂😂😂😂
this comment old but this is the best way ive heard this described
I tried Cantu a while ago and didn't care for it. I do appreciate Will for turning me onto Maui Moisture though. Everyone needs a cheap go to brand that somehow just works for their hair and can be found in CVS.
They definitely got better after the new look in my opinion can be a little heavy when using to much but I like it more now. Hair looks great 👍🏽
Cantu was my go to back when i did the big chop. haven't used it recently but this was a very convincing video to give it another try after so many years.
Ok but what you HAVE TO TRY is the Zotos All About Curls from Sally’s. I use their whole line. The lo-poo shampoo, divine treatment deep conditioner, leave in conditioner (which I didn’t like at first but it works really well with the rest of the products), taming cream, and high definition gel. Girrrrl I swear my curls have never been so poppin. Y’all TRY IT. I feel like it’s so underrated and no one ever talks about it.
White girl here.. just bought Cantù products, you sold it… totally enjoyed !! And honestly you can’t beat the price. Thanks for the smile 💕
Damn bro loving your hair😎👌🏾💯. I just started using Cantu product leave in conditioner. Great review 😃.
Your memes in your videos are TOP NOTCH 😭
i'm being Silly Rabbit Captain Obvious, but I wish we could just acknowledge that different hair is gonna favor different products. i look like a poster child for the natural hair community™, but I never liked the 0-100 tendency to be like "this stuff is NOT for us" to "this is IT, everyone should use it" lol
idk my hair's always reacted well to certain Cantu products, but ofc other people aren't suddenly lying if they had a bad experience. likewise, that time i tried a line everybody was hyping up and i was flake city, never again 💀💀 but it worked for somebody!
That custard worked really well for your hair to not have been soaking wet! Also 12:42 has me CACKLING! Boo really looked for the flakes 😂😂
i was lookin hard for them flakes
@@WillOnAWhim and not a single one to be found 💅🏿
The slip clip gets me every time! It never fails 😂
Ur like the only guy I watch do his hair so goood and funny
THE EDITING OMG like we have totally different hair but I stayed cause this video was just so entertaining
I know I be on the internet too much based on how many memes I recognize from Will's videos
I’m interested in trying parts of that line. That shampoo looks promising
They need to pay you!! "Show You The Money!! cause you definitely make me want to run out and grab some!
OH I'm early 🤣 Luv u Will 💕
Luv ya back!
Your edit skills are bomb😢🎉 really good
I was just thinking I need to get a gel or something to do a wash n go. Now I’m thinking I need that custard. The no crunch, no flaking, and bouncy hair sold me!!!
Hiii I just wanted to tell you that this was the first vid of yours that I’ve watched in like 2 years I’m sorry!! But you were dealing with dandruff issues and a seemed a little stressed but damnnn sis I saw this one and you glowing!!! Happy for you love to see ppl doing better
Cantu has ALWAYS worked for my hair. ALWAYS. The curl revitalizer spray and the curl activator made my hair SO CURLY, so pretty and hydrated. But i always got online and people would talk about how bad cantu is. Its not bad, all alcohol is not bad. All products dont work for everyone. Cantu worked for me✋
CANTU is the only brand that works for me. I haven't tried there new packaged products, when I do I will know if it's an entire new formula or just new packaging.
I've tried several different shampoos/conditioners, leave-ins, oils and grease. What works best, and I like the best, is Cantu Shea butter shampoo/conditioner. I'll use Suave every once in awhile. For leave-ins and stylers, different products yield different results. So either.....
*Cantu curling custard, which keeps my curls pretty tightly coiled and very shiny, almost wet looking. Medium thickness or volume.
*Camille Rose oil with Blue Magic or Cantu grease for roots and ends, and comb throughout my hair. Curls coil up nicely. Hair does not have the "wet" look, like when I use the custard. Volume and thickness is on 10. Looks like I have bundles on bundles. 😄
*Camille Rose oil work Camille Rose Honey Hydrate; roots and ends, then comb through. No real tightness to the curls, at all. I could come my hair a couple of times, and it would just stay pretty much straight. Hair is super soft and volume is on 8.5. It's like a big old fluffy cloud.
Hmmmm… I might have to try this again. When it was in the old bottle style, it dried my hair out. I’ll give it a second chance thanks to you. 🤗
“Walk butt naked through this Airbnb” took me out 😂🤣😩 I hollered
You listening to church girl but having girl on fire being sung is sending me 😂😂😂
This was too funny!!! Crazy thing is my hair responds to Cantù. I did try the custard but I couldn’t get rid of the crunch. I would rewet my hair and it would curl back up and be crunchy all over again. The curl activator with the leave-in gives my curls the right amount of hold.
Great review!! I love all of your vids ❤️❤️❤️
Not me watching this like 3 tiiiimes!! Will honey you know you be having me weeeeak. All my gworls who automatically grab the life alert button when they see that notification stand up!! Every time you use the slip edit i end up on the floor right with ol' girl 🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
I've been using Cantu for yeeeears!! I love me some Cantu on my hair and kids! My household curl pattern range from 3A to 4A maybe a little 4B. I don't see the negative fuss about it. If it doesn't work for YOUR hair then it doesn't work for YOUR hair. That doesn't mean you have to go telling people not to use it. People love the results of a product on someone else hair and then go buy the product thinking they will get the same exact results, then get disappointed when there hair doesn't look exactly like the person that inspired them to buy it. Not taking into consideration the texture of the hair, the health of the hair, etc. You can have the same curl type as someone but your overall texture be different, maybe one hair is a little finer then the other. My point is learn what works for YOUR hair. It's ok to try different products that you see other people using but just because you don't get the same results doesn't mean the product sucks, it just doesn't work for your hair.
I use the conditioner for my braids..Less breakage and I love the smell..Worth it.
I LOVE Cantu products and have been using them since 2010. It DOES matter what sequence of the products you put in for the right outcome. Love this video!❤❤
PAY HIM!! 🤑 Bc that catch phrase REALLY THE ONE THO Frenn!!
I love the creamy conditioner of Cantu, i had a lot of tangles before but it made my hair so soft and silky and easier to comb and dry. I use it together with OGX biotin Shampoo and Together with Perfectil Hair skin and Nails
This review has me reviewing my opinion on Cantu. Might try it again.
I looooveee the flaxseed & olive oil gel! I couldn’t wash my hair for a little over a week (🌚) and it never flaked on me 🥹
Ive never had an issue with Cantu and I didn't know about any drama.
Me neither, I never gave it a try till now because a friend recommended it even so our hair texture are super different we do usually like the same products just in different amounts😊
Cantu seems to work really well for other people and really bad for others. I have had really bad experiences with some of their products. So I don't really want to risk my hair amymore
Yes it's because of the hair type and porosity
Where have you been all my life. First video and watched all the way through and subbed. Yessss. I'll try Cantu now..I had given up on it.
this is the sign I been looking for. I’ve been needing a new shampoo and ngl, I kinda wanted to go back to this product anyway lmao
Before I loc'd my hair I love Cantu but hated the consequences of the white demonic flakes... Not to mention they changed their leave in forumla up and had me confused. But I'm glad they updated their products I use for my daughter and no complaints yet.
I use Cantu on my hair. I only use the daily oil moisturizer as my leave in and then I blow dry and straighten. My hair LOVESSSSSSS IS. LOVE IT. I use it on my channel and people think I'm crazy. Now the shampoo and conditioner ain't all that. They just okay. They don't wow me. Like the formula just missing something something. But if the change things I'm, I'm willing to give the other products a try.
Nah, I won't ever in my life use Cantu again. But I'm glad some people like it.
Cantu does wonders for my hair . I love Cantu
I shampoo and condition with Cantù and leave in and gel with Miss Jessie I have super curly hair that was all dead and had no life from straightening since I was 14 I’m 30 now
One year into loving my hair and caring for it using these two brands my hair looks fantastic and is really curly my hair looks so good and so do both my daughters we always get so many compliments.
I think you guys should try things for yourself and be your own judge. Stay blessed everyone.
Cantu dried my cousins hair out and she has looser curls 2C, 3A. I only tried it a few times while transitioning it smelt nice but thats it
Will, did you put the custard on over the curl activator or did you rinse the activator out off-camera? Thank you so much for your videos! I Love the Cantu whip and after watching this video I’m going to expand the rest of the product line.
It was the bounce! I swear by Cantu’s Leave-In Conditioner. It’s the only one I buy!
I have always used cantu especially the leave in conditioner. It works well on my hair, I never understood the hate 🤷🏾♀️
The edits had me crying💓
