It's My Hair: Product Review Cantu Coconut

I am very biased when it comes to Cantu products. So, it was a no brainer to try out some of their new products. They were on sale at Walgreen's as a part of their Buy One Get One sale. So, I grabbed the Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream and the Shea Butter Coconut Milk Shine and Hold Mist. I shampooed my hair with my Obia Natural Hair Coconut & Shea Shampoo Bar. I dried my hair with a tee shirt. I used a little Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave In. Then I used the Cantu Coconut Curling Cream before starting my braids. After my hair was braided, I sprayed it with the Shea Butter Coconut Milk Shine and Hold Mist before sitting under the hooded dryer for a 1/2 hour.  I put on my silk head scarf and went to sleep.

My first impression of the products were great. The smell was amazing. Which is weird for me because I dislike coconuts. But, apparently, I love the way it smells in this line of products. The next morning, I put some of my own oil mix on my fingers and unbraided my hair. I could tell after only doing one that the results would be amazing. I was right. The products worked well in my hair. I loved the way my hair felt. It was soft and moist. I loved it. I was impressed with the outcome. I also got so many compliments on my hair last weekend. Needles to say, these two products have been added to my natural  hair care regimen. Cantu wins again. I would recommend this to all my fellow naturalistas. Get into it and my hair in the pictures below. 

It's My Hair: A Cantu Hair Products Review

Being a newbie to the natural hair journey, I have been cautious about the products I use. I've been hearing a lot of great things about a company called Cantu. I've read numerous blogs about their products. A friend of mine tweeted earlier this week about Walgreens having a buy one get one on Cantu products. This was just the push I needed to try something new. Retailing for $5.79 per item, the price was right as well. I settled on the shampoo, conditioner, leave in repair cream and oil sheen. There are two other items that weren't in stock that I will be going back to get as well. They are the flat iron spray and grow strong cream.

Moisturizing Cream Shampoo

First off, let's talk about the smell. Oh Em Gee!! It smells so good. Good enough to eat. I love when a product smells good. That same smell was still present once I was done with my hair. The shampoo was great. I didn't have to use a lot to get a good lather. I washed my hair twice. I them coated my hair handsomely with the moisturizing conditioner. I loved how thick it was and how slippery it felt. I put a cap on my head and let the conditioner sit for 20 minutes. This was longer than is recommended but I was on the phone.

Moisturizing Rinse Out Conditioner

The best part of this experience has to be the Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream. This cream smells awesome as well. I knew from reading other reviews that less is more with this product. I applied it from root to tip. It felt so good on my hair. I combed my hair out with a wide tooth comb. After blow drying and flat ironing my hair, I sprayed my hair with the Oil Sheen. I was finally done. I loved the way my hair felt and smelled. I think I've found my go to products. For the price (especially with this sale) I am definitely winning in this aspect.

Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream

Cantu has a new fan in me. The products are great. The price is affordable. It's easily accessible since its available at Walgreen's, CVS and online. Cantu is a great product for any new and existing naturalistas out there. I, for one, am so glad I took a chance and tried something new. Going natural has scared since before I started. This makes things easier. Products that make my hair easier to manage. I am about 18 weeks post relaxer. I'm still just doing my hair myself for now. I am a believer in Cantu. Two days later, I'm still a happy customer
