Cantu Shea Butter Curling Custard

What is it?

This curling custard can be used to define your curls while adding moisture, shine and providing enough hold to last for your second and third day hairstyles. It's made from 100 percent pure Shea butter. It contains a host of oils such as coconut, argan, olive and avocado oils just to name a few. It is also free from natural hair "faux-pas" ingredients such as sulphates, parabens, mineral oil and silicone.

The Verdict:

This product did deliver on its promise for defined and moisturized hair. I have never had this much definition on a twist out style. And even though it was defined, my hair wasn't crunchy or stiff and really soft. The product also had a good scent which is a big thing for me because who doesn't like it when your hair smells good? There is one thing I didn't like about the product though. When I did apply it to my wet hair after my leave-in, the slip wasn't all that great. I think it's because this products has more of a gel-like texture rather than a creamy texture and I usually prefer creamy textured products. Despite this minor peeve, this product did do most of it said it would. Although I'm still testing out how long my curls will stay in place. Will keep you posted!

I wasn't too disappointed with the results except for the fact that my hair didn't dry completely which inevitably led to frizz. Its a good thing I like messy hair ;)



Product Review

Eco-Styler Protein Gel

The wash n go’s has been my go-to style for the past few months and up until now, I have been loving it. After trying a few different gels such as World of Curls, I finally got my hands on the infamous Eco-Styler. I was looking, in particular, for the Olive Oil version but, in my desperate state (World of Curls was just not doing it for me), I bought the only one I could find which was the clear version.  This version definitely lived up to its name as it kept my curls defined for up to five days. Whereas with other gels, I’d have to do wash n go’s every two days to maintain a similar look. Needless to say, I was glad to have found a product that would save me some time in the mornings.

My Wash 'N Go Routine

So I've been doing wash 'n go for the past two months now on my newly natural tresses. It has taken me a while to get used to it because I wasn't used to seeing my hair so tamed. When I do a wash 'n go, its a lot flatter and my curl patterns, as to be expected, are more defined. It kinda reminds me of a jheri curl. Not exactly the look I was going for but that's what my hair wants to do. Who am I to fight it?
