Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- I am finally comparing two popular lines of affordable drugstore curly hair products that are humidity-resistant for frizz-free results, CANTU VS SHEA MOISTURE. This video is a first impression UNBIASED product review of several products from both lines styled on my curls at the same time to determine the longevity, pros, and cons of each brand in a true side-by-side compHAIRison. I reviewed many products (hence the length of this video) and keep you updated on how it lasts throughout the week and ultimately, which products I recommend.. and which ones I don't. So stay tuned to the end! Thanks for watching!

"cantu do it? yes shea can!" LMAO i love her!
I know right?! Love her so much! Its so cheesy but she makes it funny.
I really felt like I did something there LOL thanks for acknowledging my poor pun 🤪
"Cantu feel the love tonight" 🤣🤣
The Shea side has more body
@@ManesByMell hi, do you think cantu curling cream ,is good for boys ?
I would love to see a video on drugstore products that are not advertised for curls, but work really well for them. Here in Europe, we don't have much choice
I hear that!! I have a video on this topic planned 😍
Same in Singapore :/
@@ManesByMell i heard you can use lube as a styler?? and its cgm friendly
Good request
@@ManesByMell could you do something like an "international hair care" series where you use famous products from every continent? Because its really hard to find curly haircare products in other places
wait shea moisture is drugs store thats like expensive top tier to me
HAHHA felt that
Here in 🇨🇦 u can get at walmart for about $11 at drug store on sale $8.99
Just because it's drugstore doesn't mean it's dirt cheap
@@AD-cy4vj That’s not what I meant I just meant it was like really good to me
It is drugstore now but, yeah, it ain't cheap, Hunny.
I work at a store that sells Cantu and I don't think I've ever seen it that runny. Either that was a bad batch or it was left in a high heat area for too long where some ingredients just melted. But I will say it shouldn't be that liquidy.
You are right about it being a bad batch. When I get it it does have a custard-y texture. Not at all as what is in the video. It's a great product.
I used cantu leaving in conditioner and I must it's bad it destroyed my natural hair
Lol thats because there many different types for different black hair types 😉 so because these where made for black people which she fail to mention you all seem a little confused!
@@niquelove2074The reason they do not work the bes is not cause their for ‘black hair’ it’s cause their relatively cheap hence why there are from a drug store.I’m black myself and while Cantu works it does not last for long nor is it the best product for black hair or most curly hair in general.
Please stop with these comments they are literally so embarrassing-
@@niquelove2074Also cantu is somewhat controversial amongst people due to how their curl activators make their hair dry.
Thank you, thank you! I’m starting my transition! Little worried since I’m 55, wondering how the world will accept my curls, but excited nonetheless. (I’ve been straightening my hair for 25 plus years). Wish me luck!
All the best!
@Mona Carriedo - Hi Mona! I'm 65 in Sept and I'm trying to get a handle on this curly girl thing. I'm probably more of a wavy but the underneath side of my hair might have some 3A going on. My hair was very curly as a child and thru high school. I got perms in college and 20's to help me control my hair better. I think my hair changed a lot from pregnancies and anesthesia. Then keeping it shorter and straightening it all thru my 40's & 50's for work Now I just want my old hair back! lol I've been growing it out for almost 2 years so the length is down a good ways past my shoulders and it is quite thick and coarse. I have a lot of wave. My husband loves it compared to my short styles of so many years. I'm just starting my journey and trying not to spend an arm and a leg on too many products. But I really don't know what I'm doing at this point! lol
@Mona Carriedo I'm in my 60s starting curly girl method. My hair is on wavy side and what really helps for me is using clarifying shampoo couple times a month and to use a deep conditioner just as often. Another thing that helps is that I have stopped coloring my hair. I don't miss those regular root touch ups.
@@rachelc.5463 I'm 65 and have been coloring my hair for 20+,years. I've been debating on whether to stop the coloring but I'm concerned it'll look horrible. My hair is wavy/curly and very fine. Finding products that won't weigh it down is a challenge, from leave-in to stylers.
Girl you got this! You will be SO happy you did. Embracing your natural texture is sooooo satisfying. ALSO props to you! Not many people switch it up after doing something for 25 years! Way to take charge of your life and keep an open mind.
u guys in america have so many options 😭😭 a struggling australian curly girl over here
hi from switzerland 🙋🏻♀️ we have nothing here
I don't have many options either, maybe Amazon will help.
I'm italian. Nobody here cares about black curly girls so I don't have anything to use
Order them online sis!
@@kingdombusiness8349 shipping is like stupid expensive so ya
No one:
Not even Bob the Builder:
Mell: Cantu do it? Yes, Shea can!
I cannot stress this enough...she is the FUNNIEST and most ENTERTAINING curly hair influencer! Love her!
She is hilarious!
Absolutely😁😂😂😂
shea moisture is one of the only curly hair brands i have available where i live.
i have the curl enhancing smoothie and i cannot get enough of it.
it may be 'heavy' but it gives me the most volume out of anything i have tried.
I agree!
Is it still silicone free?
Have u tried amazon...I'm from India and I can get any products from Amazon
@@themehmama7750 in Egypt the shipping is INSANE
Same!
Can you recommend some of your favorite leave in conditioners, mousses, gels and oils/serums in one video for different needs and hair type? Please thumbs up on this so she see this comment and helps us all out with some of her updated products
Who else forgot that today was Tuesday? I literally got the notification, and i was like wuuuhhh for a second and then i was like ooohhhhhhh.
Quarantine got days all wack 😜
I could never forget! My favourite day of the week 😍
@@ManesByMell haha. I love Texture Tuesday too (all because of you). I think I forgot because of memorial day lol.
Yea Memorial Day got us all confused 😆
Me every Tuesday : I don’t feel like doing my hair
New video from Mell
MUST DO HAIR IMMEDIATELY
Yes!! 😂😂😂
@@cathgiesbrecht2202 the cat was in Sand
That’s Exactly what I am going to do right away!
Ooh You can try Not your mother's Curl Talk line!
Yes!!! I've already tried a lot of Shea and Cantu, but not NYM yet. I want to hear her take before I try it!
I just tried I didnt not like I like cantu better
@@daylilopez6350 Yeah i am trying it out too. Its making my hair dry and shedding alot too! 🙁
NYM curl talk like mousse is my favorite! Gives great hold and helps activate the curls as it advertises
I love nym! The curl talk mask is my favorite!!
The Shea moisture made your hair look more defined to me in the end
I agree. I saw some looser curl strands on the Cantu side lol
yea i actually think the shea moisture looked better and mored defined and volumious
I agree too , looks better to me
yup honestly both looked good but I liked the shea side better!
When I CANNOT BE BOTHERED beginning my wash day, I watch a couple of Mells videos and I'm ON IT! ✌️♥️🙏🏴
Your hair is a like a garden , your scalp is the soil - Madam CJ Walker, the og of natural hair care . cant have gorgeous hair without a healthy scalp
Period that’s what I’m doing rn 😂
When her 4 days of hair shed is my day 1 after a wash 😭😭😭
I've been here before the 100K and now we are 300k 🥺. She is the best of all curly girl influencer ❤
Thank you for being here, I am go grateful!! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to hear your thoughts on Maui moisture!
I still don’t trust Cantu, it’s made my hair really dry in the past when I used it for a long period of time, and the same thing has happened to a lot of people I know 🤷🏽♀️ love Shea moisture though
Cantu and I are not on Speaking terms!
Agree. Just stopped using a cantu leave-in I was trying out because it was drying out my hair.
really? Cantu has helped my hair grow and stay moisturize since i've been using it on my natural hair journey, It's shows my curls very well but maybe everyone's hair is different truly sorry that happen to you
It may be because you use so much moisture in your hair that you need protein to balance it out, try applying one egg for about 5-7 hours or leave it in for better results & wash it out
I wonder if it’s the alcohol and fragrance in it that causes the drying? I’ve been using it (because it’s all I had at home) but finally read the ingredients today and fragrance is pretty high on the list.
i would love to see garnier products and maui moisture 👏🏽
I love a lot of the Garnier products. The Maui products not so much. The only Maui products I do love I can't find in stores anymore. It's the vanilla scented shampoo and conditioner.
They dry my hair out but maybe that’s just me .
Do the same battle on Amanda’s hair!!!
Yes, please!!!!
@@marthapalomino6952 i agree, same hair texture aswell ✌
Amanda should make her own channel! There are wavy girls that could benefit from her content just like a lot of curly girls benefit from mel’s content 😊
Yes this !!
Yes my hair is just like Amanda’s except more stringy because I am probably using the wrong products and I need more of your videos with her hair!!! 😭😍❤️
finally a product I can actually afford !!!!
I’m here to share it all!
@@ManesByMell congratulations for 300k and for making to the Sephora squad 💖
The define and shine custard I use from Cantu is never that liquidy and I like to use it in my winter routine because it has less hold. I use the Stay Glue Gel in the summer because it's great for the hot humid air we get here down in Houston, Texas. Also you have to warm the Stay glue gel in your hands to get it to a easier to maneuver consistency. Loved your review 🤗
Marlen Guzman I totally agree I swear by the Cantu Custard and mine is never that liquidy
Hey! I'm on the Texas coast too. I like the Cantu leave in conditioners that I've tried. I'll see about checking out the glue
I love the custard and it is usually a gel consistency. Maybe there was something wrong with that jar.
I agree, I think there was something wrong with that particular tub of custard.
That's pretty weird. I bought it for myself the other day and it was that liquidy. Maybe they recently changed the formula?
Just a reminder for the people reading the comments, remember that these products work differently on everyone’s hair
Cantu's Curl Activator Leave-In has been excellent for getting more curl in my hair. I used to be 3B, but certain *ahem* controversial curly company products moved it to 3A, and in some places 2C. I've been wanting to try the hair glue, because I live in a humid climate, but I can't find it locally.
Cough* Deva Cough* Curl Cough*
Mell: " cantu feel the love tonight"
Me: " yeah Imma say no. But I do fell like hitting, dropping or smashing something. Where is that like button."
That Cantu Custard was SPOILED! The color & consistency of your product is 100% wrong: it is usually a jelly consistency and a more tan color. Very similar to the Shea Moisture gel in appearance, in fact.
Really? Because mine is exactly the same as Mel's and I've heard others having the same. This isn't a cheap product to be throwing all that away 😕
Yes! That’s how mine are. When I saw hers I was so confused. Cause mine is very jelly gel like
I've never had the custard be watery like that. The right consistency is like jelly.
Loved this review! If you’re accepting suggestions for the next drugstore product battle, I would love to see Aussie Miracle Curls vs. Garnier Fructis Curl Nourish.
Always taking suggestions! I definitely have to check Garnier out! Thank you 😍
Oh yes please! Would love that battle!
Yes i agree that would be awesome to see
Manes by Mell try out the newest Shea Moisture Coconut Custard line... smells like heaven. The containers have golden yellow caps. The curl cream is great (in a tube) and the gel oil (in a jar) are on point!!
H
One of my hidden gems from Cantu is the Curling Cream from the Cantu Care for Kids line. It rivals my curling smoothie from Shea Moisture, it's just that good! Gives me enough definition while keeping my hair soft to the touch and it keeps that hold for many days. The best thing is: it's only about $3-4! Definitely give it a try if you can find it👍
I’m in my LATE 30’s and my hair changed texture after puberty. I JUST realized I have been taking care of my curls all wrong. You make it so easy to learn how to take care of them. Thank you!
I’m still getting used to my chemo curls but your videos have 100% helped me! Hubby doesn’t even have to look in the Amazon package to know it’s hair products now 😂 I’d love a video about creating extra volume (and keeping it!)
Congrats on your recovery love! ✨✨👑
Ok
Cantu is can do for styling products
Shea wont let you down for deep conditioning and shampooing. Thats how i roll with these two lines xx
shea moistures deep conditioners are the best
@@xoarikee hi their ok💛💝✋💋👅
But everyone says cantu is bad for your hair is that true?
@@rashmic.6486 it depends I use cantu and it's really good
@Mrs Mc lol ikr I'm gonna keep trying atm I'm using a product
Hey, Mell! Can you do a video on fine curly/wavy hair? Us wavies would appreciate it so much ✨🌈
Isabel R I totally agree! I have fine
wavy/curly hair. I tried the Shea Moisture but my hair hated it. I ended up returning it. Have you found any great products. I'm in Canada.
@@jessiestephens3943 i am also struggling here in Canada
@@maryamhanif1401 our product selection is sadly lacking here.
@@jessiestephens3943 If I bought products from like a Shoppers Drug Mart, and try it, can I just return an opened product? I'm in Toronto so was just wondering.
@@MariaAyeDee I'm not sure Maria about Shoppers per say, but here in Victoria British Columbia i can take products I've tried once to London Drugs.
You could always call them to find out their policy. Hope this helps.
Hey Mell, could you possibly do a video on products that would be great for curlies that have fine wavy/curly hair? I have such a frustrating time trying to find good products that won't weigh down my hair. 😊
Yes! I have fine, thick, curly hair and NOTHING works for me past day 2. I’ve tried curlsmith, devacurl, ouidad, shea, cantuu...help! It’s expensive and my hair is damaged and dry as it is!
@@cindymarquina4878 Cantu and Devacurl are horrible. You can try Hask or As I Am. They're great!
@@cindymarquina4878 you may find that nothing works because you have hard water mineral buildup. you could go to sallys and get the ion hard water shampoo for less than $10 or find another chelating shampoo. fine hair accumulates minerals more quickly because it has more surface area.
I absolutely love the cantu custard, ive gotten it for years and its never been that watery, you got a bad container girl🤣
I'd like to see Not Your Mothers curl talk line versus the curls blueberry bliss line!!! Both can be found at target!
She lives in Canada
@@oooyeahooyeah7451 I'm sure both brands can be shipped to Canada
April Day I dont know if you only use clean products but only shampoo, conditioner and gel are clean of that line.
Elyahnn_ What do you mean by clean products?
Booyah dont know either bruv 😭
The Cantu Curl activator cream is my holy grail. My hair is very similar in texture and type to yours, and the curl activator is just a little too heavy for my hair, but ive found that watering it down just a bit makes it absolutely perfect!
I feel the same way. The activator cream is too heavy. I put it under the gel. And it made my curls so soft, they dissapeared :/
The gel or oil thing probably solidified more than it should’ve because of the temperature, kinda similar to the way coconut oil acts. Which is probs why when you rubbed it in your hands it got warmer and melted.
Well I never would have thought of that
that’s the second one I’ve seen like that and it always confuses me because the one I had wasn’t like that
Yeah it's not support to be like that, it should be more watery.
Yes. I moved from Texas to Alaska and I've noticed a lot of products are completely different consistencies here than they were in a hotter climate. I've had to change my routine some.
WHY AREN'T U VIRAL YET???????
thank god UA-cam showed me your channel!!! Ive had wavy hair my whole life but never knew how to style it and make them more defined now I'm gonna have some bomb ass waves
The Cantu custard isn't supposed to be that liquidy. I had it and it was more jelly like. The Shea Moisture gel souffle isn't supposed to be that hard but another UA-camr got a hard one too (Swavy Curly Courtney). It's supposed to be more soft and custardy. I don't know if they have changed it or if it has gone bad or if they had a bad batch.
I agree, my Shea Moisture gel is goopy not hard.
They changed the formula of the gel souffle a while back to the point it's basically impossible to use now. It really is a solid block of jello now.
I agree, mine was a different texture too 🤔
Shea moisture changed their formula on a lot of their products. Kind of disappointing because they changed their great formulas into something basic
@@funkmastersamantha i got rid of a brand new container bc it was legit jello. my other container is from a different store and it is the right texture which is odd but overall i personally think its a bad product
“Cantu do it?? Yes Shea can!!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this killed me 🤣😅🤣😅
“They really smell like Pina ca lada!”
Me: **coughs** I’ll take them! **cough** **cough**
I can only use these in the summer, in the winter here in Canada it just doesn’t feel right to smell like summer 🤣
I never thought of this. I live in Florida so it feels like it’s always summer lol
For those saying that Mell’s Sheamoisture gel shouldn’t be that consistency, many of Sheamoistures products have changed formulas. My holy grail hair cream was Sheamoisture Coconut Hibiscus but the formula has changed for the worse in my opinion. Just an FYI for those who don’t know about the reformulation of some of their products.
all the Shea Moisture gels I've seen on the shelf look like jello
Yeah, as some ingredients became difficult to get, they had to be reformulate
Commenting on this 3 years later, but I used the Moisture Retention (goldish yellow one) and then switched to Coconut and hibiscus line after finding them super cheap at Marshall’s and it RUINED my hair. Roots were oily, ends were dry, protein overload.. horrible. So I totally feel you. If you google or UA-cam Shea moisture formula change we’re not the only ones who got annoyed with formula change. Ugh. Used it for yearsssss
Me watching this while I use a half gallon of curl smoothie: 👁 👄 👁 💧
I would love jessicurl, moptop, or kinky curly!!!!
Please do the maui moisture curl quench smoothie next! ❤️
Yes!! I will 😍
Erika Araiza I love it
omg girl no that souffle should NOT be hard like that! It's supposed to be a thick, runny consistency.
It never looked like that for me, it was more on the runny side
Yea but it's always been thick
I bought it recently and looks the same. Thought it was so weird and hated the smell. Only tried it twice but considering trying it again since I’m still in quarantine...
Mines way thinner and I hate it. It like flash drys my hair and make it feel horrible.
Mine is also runnier and the first ingredient is Glycerin, on their website is another ingredient list than I have on my pot. There are two formulas and I don't get it. Why is this so? Horrible even when I only dip my finger in and use a tiiiiny little bit of this.
Ok , I was literally laughing out loud during this video! But these product reviews are what I need right now. I’m a new curly girl and still learning.
I came for the curls but I'm stayin for the funny stupid lol the vibe level I wanna be in! thx u
Thank god!! Lord knows my cheap ass cant afford those expensive hair products.😂😂
Cantu isn’t expensive but Shea Moisture is a little more expensive. These are the some of the best affordable options for good hair products.
@@siggiesmalls2358 literally a 6 0z product from shea moisture is $11.99 And cantu leave in is $5.99 and is basically a 3 in 1 !! cantu all the way
Mell can you please do a video going over the Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk line!!
Ok yes lwill
The smell of cantu is too strong, i can’t with it
Josiah Guevara same I have 2 of their leave in products and it’s so strong I hate it. But got to use it up now aha
yeah, it gives me a headache honestly. strong scents are a big no for me lol
same ! left my pillow smelling horribly lol
Cantu does not even work on my hair lmao it just leaves residue
As a curly girlie and a stem girlie I love when Mel talks about ingredients bc Im using EDTA in my hair and my lab rn just VERY different concentrations
Just found this channel and you’re SO funny! I love how thorough you are with this review!
can you try these products out on amanda. my hair texture is more like hers
i have Amanda’s hair texture and shea moisture works perfectly fine for me
Can you do this with lightweight products? I tried some cantu products and they weigh down my hair a lot ☹
Not your mothers Curl talk line!!
Would love for you to review those
All those products in that bathroom
Is giving me anxiety lol 😂.
Yoooouuuuuuu guyyyyyzzzzzz mell saved my haiiirrrrrrr. I can go out so confident now. No one taught me how to take care of my curly hair and now god has sent mell and amanda, her seestar 💛, into my life 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽 Love you guys and thank you soooo much 🧡🧡🧡
I was anxiously waiting for this video and refreshing my youtube for the last hour.
I have tried both brands and SheaMoisture doesn't work for me, I only use the "Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Souffle".
When it comes to cantu my hair loves the classic line, the natural line is ok but not amazing. I only like the"'curl activator cream".
Can you do ogx vs Maui battle?
Love your videos and can't wait for the next video!!!
Idk why so many curly girls don’t like Cantu 🙁 I personally love it, it was the first brand I used when I started transitioning. I even got my mom and boyfriend to use it on their curly hair. Both brands have some amazing gems. The Shea deep conditioners you mentioned are bomb!
I want to like it so bad. But it made my hair horribly dry to the point it was breaking off.
I liked Cantu, but their ingredients are not friendly to those of us who have nut allergies.
People lump the regular line the naturals line. And because some people have problems with the regular line they believe the naturals Line will also be bad
I wanted to like Cantu, because it is so much more affordable, then all the other stuff i now use. But i had a so horribly itching and hurting sculp almost a burning sensation after using the custard, that i just threw it away. My quess, something in it caused an allergic reaction. I haven't tried anything else from cantu since, since i am not too keen on the smell anyway.
I think it depends on which products you use! No brand has only good products. I have tried Cantu and my results were meh. I dont have anything against them I just have other brands i enjoy more! I really like Shea Moisture though.
I use the sufflé but has never recieved it with that texture. It’s supposed to be a more sticky syrup
Mine looked just like hers it was nasty
yeah mine’s like sticky syrup so I was really confused... I have to be very careful how I put it because later on I can’t scrunch it out, my hair is sticky and it’s really annoying as I can only fix it by washing it. any advice how I can fix this? My hair is not fine but medium curly/wavy. I use it along with cantu curling cream which I put before the gel.
Kristine Hietpas Same I don’t know even know how to use it
The suffle has corn syrup in it. I read the ingredients again after my hair seemed like i poured maple syrup in it :-/
The new version is like she showed. It was a mess to work with for me 😭
First, I love you. Second, I use the SheaMoisture gel souffle regularly and get a different consistency almost every time I buy it. The worst one I got was dry and clumpy like what you have. But usually it's more like a grape jelly consistency. I'm guessing it's how much pectin gets in the mix. Too much and it's useless.
Your '4 days of hair' is so small! Now I'm a little worried that I'm loosing an excessive amount of hair in the shower!
Mel, what do you suggest for a lightweight sealing oils for fine hair with looser curls. Any oil I’ve tried instantly weighs down my hair, reduces my volume and makes my hair look greasy faster
I've had the same issue and for me keune care satin oil did the job. It's a salon brand from europe though 🙈
Mel, I would love to hear your ideas on this. I also have looser curls.
Try almond or grape seed oil
Grapeseed oil and argan oil might work
Try JoJoba oil, I buy a big bottle of ot at trader Joe's and it lasts me forever
The Cantu custard is actually not that watery :o I was surprised when you showed us. When I used it was more of a souffle consistency. But not like the she's moisture souffle you reviewed 😅😅😅😅😅
Agreed...Cantu custard is definitely not normally that runny. 🙂
I bought the cantu custard yesterday, it was extremely watery like this
I’ve been using the custard for more than a year and the last time I purchased it was this watery but has never been that consistency before
agree, the custard is normally slimy but not this watery.
Yeah mine isn't that watery. I wonder if they changed the formula or what 🤔
The Shea moisture soufflé is definitely a liquid syrup type of feeling. Super weird when I saw it so thick 🥺
I live in South Korea and boy oh boy finding curly hair friendly stuff. I decided to start looking after my curls properly to grow them out (they're not too picky while short but there's a reason I cut my hair...). I spent the last few days researching stuff and finally managed to get a decent list of products to try and find. They're not advertised for curly hair but hey, I can't be picky!
Am I the only one who heard “That’s a MELLful” ???😂😂 7:04
Awesome video! I’ll be buying some of these products soon! Thank you for making this video! Also- Dove came out with a complete curly hair product line . Maybe a review? It’s available at Walmart
i loved cantu when i first used it, however it started to dry out my hair the longer i used it :/
Yeah I have a feeling mine has started to do that :/ it’s sad because I don’t want to just waist it
Lyka Hayter would you recommend shea moisture then
Hazzaandlou yeahh, same happened to me, i transitioned using cantu but after a couple of months, my hair got too dry and the definition wasn’t even there as much but I started using Shea moisture after and it went back to normal
Same use she mousiture
"cantu do it? yes shea can!" LMAO i love her!
i just found you like 2 days ago and i don’t think i have gone a hour with out watching one of ur videos. they are entertaining and informative for someone like me that is just starting their journey. i’m 14 and glad i am starting my journey young.
I don't know why I'm watching this. I've literally tried all of these products and none of them work in my hair. Lol.
I don't have curly hair....I don't think. I watch your videos for you. You should be a presenter. You're fabulous.
I think we all needed a texture Tuesday video a little extra this week ❤️
Well that’s what I’m hair for 😍😍😍 I hope the rest of your week is brighter ❤️ xoxo
I’ve used the Shea Moisture soufflé before and it’s not supposed to look like that! I didn’t even realize what you were using until you said that. It’s supposed to be a gloopy type of gel. Lol anyway, love the videos!
My gel soufflé was like that also...the one mel has.
Same! Mine was gloopy as well!
Yeah, mine is much more runny and easy to use. I really like it
I’ve bought the SM Gel several times I think Mel’s was dried out. What I’ve purchased was not as solid.
I've bought one that was like jello but I've also gotten one that was more runny. I didn't know which was the correct texture lol
UGHHHH THAT CURLY ENHANCING SMOOTHIE IS EVERYTHING
Is it really good ? How about for frizz?
@@coolkoala19 I feel like you either love or hate it. My hair can’t take coconut so it left it very dry yet greasy, others love this product tho. If your hair is fine it might be too thick & heavy
*watches in 2B hair crying*
Love this review! These are the main two styling brands I come back to when I am trying more expensive products ( like Curlsmith and Deva Curl). I always thought Shea Butter was maybe better, but this was an eye opener! Also, I wish my curls lasted 4 days, but no such luck down here in Houston, TX...
Have you done a review on Kinky Curly? I know it is "in between" high end products and drugstore products in terms of price point, but I find that I am LOVING the custard. Casts and holds really well, without leaving m hair feeling dry. Would love to see both you and Amanda do a seester video with that product, since it claims it works well on all hair types.
Keep up the excellent work!!
You’re so funny 😂
This video is perfect since they’re 2 of my faves. It’ll be cool to see how they work on different hair.
Oh man, never has the cantu custards I’ve had have been as liquidy as that!
She should do the same products with Amanda’s hair, to see if they still perform similarly to how they did with hers.
I recently bought the "shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie" and i hate it. Its okay on the hair,though it sometimes leaves a ton of residue, but the smell is unbearable for me. Instant severe migraine!
SAAAAAAAAME! I love the way can’t impales my hair look, but I HATE the smell and can’t use it.
The smoorhie was ghastly. I wonder what the souffle would be like
I got the curl enhancing smoothie a few months ago and I absolutely love it, even the smell 😊
@@caraharrison578 i am happy you love it!
@@freemindsloveforever ooh yeah. I've heard good things about it, but i also did for the smoothie😕
Ive been waiting o long for her to review Cantu and Shea moisture .... THANKS MELL👌😊
I loved this video!! Cantu and shea moisture are some of my favorites. I always lowkey preferred Cantu but everyone would hate on it lol. I will say that the Cantu gel custard is not normally that liquidy. At least I’ve never seen it like that. But I’m glad cantu took the win in this video!!
I recently started transitioning and found your channel and can I just say- I'm so obsessed! so obsessed to the point that I wish texture hair Tuesdays could be everyday! I have so much more knowledge regarding hair than I was before, and I only have you to thank. And on that note- I want to see more pleaseeee! much love
Love ya Mell. You have inspired me to just let my curls do their thing.. I use to love to straighten my hair but girl you make me love my curls..
Have long hair day ok that all that all that all👐👐👏👋🎺🎷🎻
Mell: My hair's really tangled
Me: * needs to wash her hair, because it's past the time, but it's been raining for the last 2 days and I refuse to have wet hair in the cold*.........I don't want to think about that
I love that I found you, I’m finally trying to embrace my curls. I went out and spent a lot of products you recommend. I however still have frizz, I live in FL. Under my hair is straight. You have so many products recommenced I’m feeling a little confused and overwhelmed.
Cantu has another gel that comes in a tub and it’s amazing! I use it with the Shea moisture curling cream and it’s a great combo!
Not sure if anyone just suggested this yet, but maybe you could do a black-owned hair product battle?
luisa cacica I did a little looking into this and actually Shea Moisture was acquired by Unilever in 2017 and Cantu is owned by a white man. www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/events/what-the-unilever-acquisition-means-for-

Just want to say I love watching all your videos! Unfortunately can't use either of these brands as they are to heavy form my fine thin hair.
And I have to say Congratulations!!! I just knew you would be picked!
You will be a great addition to Sephora as they need someone like you on their team!!!!!!!
Good luck on your new journey!
Mell could you do a solid product review for those of us trying to cut back on all the plastic!!??
I’ve been on the lookout for some options!! Hopefully I’ll be able to share soon 💖💖
Yes or brands that use glass/aluminum instead :)
Check out a simple planet!!!
Manes by Mell check out a simple planet!!!
Mell your makeup looks amazing! Do a “get ready with me” maybe? I adore Amanda’s makeup look so please please do a video with her
My hair absolutely hates shea moisture and I get an itchy scalp; however my daughters curls love Shea moisture products. It’s such a weird hit n miss with caring for curls 🤣
Please could you do a video on combating hard water for curly hair. I've tried so many products but get kinda lame results and recently figured it could potentially be the water..?
Thank you so much for your drug store product reviews... they've really helped me stay in my budget and still get great results. THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR SEESTER :)
Omg I have been following you for months and I JUST realized “ya MANE girl Mell”. Duh lol 💕
I much prefer Cantu for my medium fine hair!
My hair doesn’t work well with Shea moisture which is good cause I hate the way most of them smell ☺️
I’m obsessed with the pineapple smell of Cantu!
But my mom and cousin with thick low porosity have loves Shea moisture and hates Cantu!
I have fine hair and love Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream! I haven't tried any of their other products yet though, and haven't tried any Shea Moisture. But I do love the one Cantu product I do have lol. 😄
Hey Mell, can u do a video on why scalps get sore and cause excess shedding. My scalp has recently become sore and idk how to fix it. Every wash, by the third day my scalp feels so painful. Pls HELP!!
We need a review on Aunt Jackie's products and how it works for wavy hair🤧
