When I first opened it, it looked very light weight, almost too light of a product for my 4b hair. But as I applied it (to my wet hair) I noticed how adhesive it is and when it dried it my curls were frozen in place! It was a pleasant surprise from my first impression at first sight.

*This product was sent to me for an honest review* This product unfortunately did not work for me. It did not have a whole lot of hold to it. It just did not provide hold for twist or locs. Maybe this would be a suitable product for those with looser curls but for 4c-type hair I think there are other options to make our hair look beautiful this did not meet or exceed my expectations. It just cannot provide a decent hold for any hairstyle.

I have naturally curly/coily hair but it tends to frizz a bit. I washed my hair with cantu moisturizing shampoo, towel dried it and then applied some of this to my hair. I used a wide tooth comb to distribute then used my fingers to apply a little more to sections and twisted them with my fingers. After my hair dried for a few moments I ended up with soft moisterized curls all over and the smell is absolutely devine. I would recommend this to anyone with 4b/4c hair and my natural besties.

I've used this product before so I don't wanna pass up the chance to receive a free sample and share my opinion. I loooove this product and use it to moisturize my hair before I put it in a protective style. Sometimes if you use a bit too much it can cause the hair to feel heavy and cause a bit of product buildup but that's only happened to me once. I love how it makes my hair feel and the smell isn't too overbearing, I would definitely recommend.

This is my first time using a Cantu product in several years. I used this as a gel for several twist outs and they came out amazing! The hold on this product is truly amazing it's soft, no flaking and last for several days. I have been looking for a gel just like this for my weekly twists and twist outs and it has over performed for every use. If you're in the market for a new twist gel look no further because this is it!!! I received this product in exchange for a review.

I love this!! I got out of the shower and applied to wet hair and brushed with the boar bristle brush and allowed to air dry!! My hair was soo flawless and my curls were pure perfection!! I've been using it after every shower and I feel like my hair is healthier!!!

I absolutely love the Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel! It has completely transformed my twist-outs and protective styles. The gel provides amazing hold without making my hair feel crunchy or weighed down. My curls stay defined and moisturized for days, and the added shine is such a bonus! The shea butter in the formula keeps my hair soft and nourished, even in colder weather when dryness is usually an issue. The scent is light and pleasant, not overpowering. It's also super easy to work with and doesn't leave any residue or flakes. If you're looking for a product that delivers moisture, definition, and long-lasting styles, this is it! Highly recommend for anyone with textured or natural hair. Cantu nailed it with this one!

I like the way this product smells. And the way it softens my hair. Made it easier to comb through and prepare hair into twists. Used it on my daughter's hair, too, and it made it so shiny and soft. I like the flexible hold because I could easily switch up a look.

The product is a little unassuming. It says gel but has a pretty thin texture so you wouldn't think it would have much hold. I tested it on my stepdaughter locs and it held beautifully once it dried with no flakes. She does have a little bit of a loose texture (4A/B) but it seems to do a good job. It also smells really nice.

So I have 4c type hair and I like how it moisturize my hair. I can't speak much about it holding my curls. And I think it's because my curl pattern needs extra hold. I do love how this product smells. I believe like most Cantu products they always have a very nice light fragrance to them. I did use this cream on both my son and my daughter's hair. They have a lot looser curl pattern. My children are mixed, so I think the product work much better on their hair. It left their curls more defined, and the lasting power of it was pretty good. When I styled my kids's hair in the morning for school when they came home, their hair still had very defined curls. The only thing I didn't like was, I felt it left my hands, kind of sticky when I finish styling the hair.
