Cantu Shea Butter Products Review

 (I haven't tried the No Drip Hair & Scalp Oil yet)

I'm terribly late on doing this review, but here I am. ;-) I blame preggie land, lol. So if you checked out my last video on YouTube, you already know I've been using Cantu (specifically the Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream & the Super Shine Hair Silk) . I even wrote a post about it a few weeks after I bc'ed.

 If you didn't check out my initial post on Cantu, here's what I do.

1. First, I apply Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream. I was sent a box of their products! This stuff smells like fruit. Yums.

2. Then, I put either the Cantu Shea Butter Super Shine Hair Silk or Extra Virgin Olive Oil in my hair.

3. I rub Eco Styler Styling Gel throughout. The way I rub it in, it pretty much defines the curl.

I'm pretty much still doing this regimen. (I've started using Suave & Aussie conditioners as a leave in too. I'll let you know how those work out)

So let me start off with the review for the Leave In.

My Review:

In a nutshell, I love the Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream. :D I apply it to my hair after washing & dc'ing usually. It's the 1st thing I apply. My hair eats this stuff up & it makes it very soft. I rub it throughtout. You don't need a lot. I mostly use the cream when my hair is wet or damp. I've used it a few times on dry hair & it still defined my curls and moisturized my hair. The leave in cream does have a tendency to build up in my hair so I have to make sure I only use a small amount on dry hair. I can get away with using more on wet hair. I just try to make sure I don't overdo it.

Super Shine Hair Silk ($6.99/ 6 oz.) Bottle Says: 

Cantu Shea Butter Super Shine Hair Silk provides super shine for all hair types without heavy, tacky buildup that weighs hair down. With pure Shea Butter, Cantu Shea Butter Super Shine Hair Silk also works as a treatment for frizz and split ends by bonding to each hair strand, filling in voids on the cuticle layer of the hair, and leaving hair stronger, healthier with brilliant shine.

• protect hair against heat and UV damage
• reduce frizz and repair split ends

*Daily Styling – Apply approximately a quarter size amount of product onto the surface of the hair down to the ends.  Comb through for even distribution.  Do not rinse.  Apply more to longer hair at the ends or problem areas.

*Reconstructive Treatment - Apply to damp, not wet, hair.  Apply a generous amount of product onto frizzy or distressed area.  Wrap hair in a warm, wet towel.  Leave on towel for up to 20 minutes. 

Comb through for even distribution. Style as usual. 

My Review: 

This is good stuff. The Hair Silk makes my hair very soft and it provides this shine to it. It's a serum so it has a very smooth & silky consistency. I apply it after the Leave In & let me tell ya'll they go great together! The Hair Silk does have cones in it so you'll need to use a clarifying shampoo to wash it out it thoroughly if you want to use this every day.

I'm officially a fan of Cantu Shea Butter now :-) Like Cantu Shea Butter on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/CantuSheaButter . I forgot to mention how good their products smell too. :D I can't use products if they stink no matter how good the ingredients are. 

Have you tried the Cantu products?? Did you like them? Yay or nay?

Note: Cantu sent me their products at no charge. I'm not obligated to write a positive review in return. My review consists of my honest opinion of the products.

Make sure you are following me on Twitter & Facebook for more of my ramblings about hair and anything else I want to talk about. :-)
