I hv ordered several bottles. Work miracles on 4c hair combine a gel and raked thru. Curls last for a week or more refreshing w/curl revitalize. Only product tht works on my hair.

5.0 out of 5 stars overall I love it and it worked for me, and made my curls look better!

IIf you have thick, curly hair, you should definitely give this a try. I've been using it for almost a year now, and it makes my curls look beautiful and well-defined! It’s not heavy on thick hair, but if you don't have thick hair, it might not work as well. your hair oily! But overall I love it and it worked for me, and made my curls look better!

Great product with a great price. I’ve used a multitude of Cantù products in my daughter’s curls and this is by far my favorite activator. It also smells amazing. It doesn’t leave a crunchy residue like other products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great for Some Hair Types, But Porosity Matters

I purchased this Cantu curl activator cream for my teenage son who has 2a curls, and it’s been a solid choice for his hair care routine. As any parent of a teenager knows, getting them to commit to an elaborate hair routine is nearly impossible, so I needed something simple but effective. This product fits the bill perfectly - just wash, condition, and apply.For my son’s hair type, this cream does exactly what it promises. It provides good moisture without making his hair greasy, helps with curl retention, and defines his natural curl pattern nicely. The smell is pleasant, which is always a bonus when you’re dealing with teenagers who are particular about these things. It eliminates frizz effectively and doesn’t weigh down his 2a curls, which can be a concern with heavier products.However, I learned an important lesson about hair porosity with this product. I also tried it on my other child, and it was a completely different story. Their hair has lower porosity, and the cream left a white film that took forever to work through and absorb. It just sat on top of the hair rather than penetrating and doing its job.This experience really highlighted how crucial it is to consider your hair’s porosity when choosing products. For higher porosity hair like my son’s, this cream absorbs well and provides the moisture and curl definition it promises. But for less porous hair, it can create buildup and that frustrating white residue.The product itself is good quality - it works well on various curl types from what I’ve seen, particularly thicker 3b/3c textures, and the 12 fl oz size gives you plenty to work with. Just make sure to consider your hair’s porosity before purchasing. If you have low porosity hair, you might want to look for something lighter or specifically formulated for that hair type.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Love everything about this curl cream. It keeps my curls moisturized, smells amazing, defines my curls, and adds texture to my hair. Keeps my hair healthy and shiny. Great buy, worth every cent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for fine hair unless maybe you know more tricks than me :)

T.H. · June 1, 2025

I have fine hair. I was looking for a product that was easy to use, apply, maybe style a bit (blow dry, etc), and go. Considering my style of getting ready, this product made my hair greasy. It was heavy on it, and I think I only used it twice before I gave it to a friend. She has curly hair and said that it worked well for her. She also has thicker hair, so maybe that's the difference. It advertised being light weight, but I would say that was untrue.

Li tiene croccanti ma morbidi, non li sporca e rimangono puliti più a lungo.

Smells amazing

Amazing product. I’ve been using this for years now after my hairdresser recommended it to me. You don’t need much, it defines and holds curls and it lasts for ages. It also smells gorgeous.

Curl activation done easy

a. · December 16, 2024

The smell is not overpowering, the cream goes through hair very easy,although slightly sticky. The cream activates the curl and it defines easily. Would recommend for tight curls and coils.

wonderful experience

Ik gebruik dit product altijd voor mijn krullen. Het werkt goed en ruikt lekker. Ik gebruik ook andere producten van Cantu en ben altijd erg tevreden met het resultaat.
