Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream, 355ml ( Pack of 1)

I’ve been really pleased with this curling cream. A little goes a long way, and it helps define my curls without making them feel crunchy or stiff. It leaves my hair feeling soft, moisturised, and reduces frizz throughout the day. The cream has a pleasant coconut scent that isn’t overpowering, and it’s easy to work through damp hair. I find it gives my curls better shape and helps them last longer between washes. The tub also lasts a long time because you don’t need to use much each time, so it offers good value for money. Overall, it’s become a staple in my hair care routine, and I’d happily buy it again.

After my son decided to have a perm, he needed curling cream. As a natural curl haired mum, I also use this product. Smells amazing and is easy to apply to hair. Consistency is thick but exactly as I would expect, non-greasy and is easily washed out if needed. Tames the frizz caused by perm and my son loves when it makes his curls smooth and sleek!

This stuff lasts and lasts because you don’t need to use a lot. It smells nice and is a good cantu alternative if your hair doesn’t like coconut. I put it on, in the shower, onto sopping wet hair, and comb it through. It feels like it doubles in consistency doing it this way, so you don’t need a lot! Leaves my curls nice and moisturised and separated until I sleep on it!

Works well on 2b waves. I have normal thickness hair that is collarbone length. I let my hair air dry, only use my fingers, no brushes or combs, no heat etc. I only finger comb my hair to untangle it and slightly dampen it before fingercombing a small quantity of the product through my hair and smoothing the remainder over my hair to prevent frizz. In the right quantity it's not heavy, smells nice and combs easily through my hair. I don't get frizz or flyaways and it boosts the natural shine of my hair. I wear my hair down all the time and although I use this product daily and only wash my hair once a week, I don't experience any buildup. I just use a regular cantu shampoo wash out conditioner. I have a dry scalp and untreated, uncoloured hair so results might be different for people with oily hair or processed, damaged hair. I have dry skin and never experienced any facial breakouts from my hair products too. This cream is the only thing I use on my 2b hair and it works well for my low fuss hair routine. My waves always remain shiny, soft and frizz free even though I finger comb them with this product twice a day.

The Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream is a nice product in theory, but it’s unfortunately too heavy for my fine 2A/2B curls. Instead of defining them, it tends to weigh my hair down, leaving my waves looking a bit flat. I can see how this would probably work much better on tighter curl patterns or on drier, thicker hair that needs more moisture and hold. The formula itself feels rich and nourishing — just not the right match for my hair type. Overall, it’s not a bad product, but it’s not suitable for finer, looser curls like mine.

Very effective and lasts ages. Great product

Fab product which was purchased at a great offer price. Love this for curly hair. Smells lovely and leaves hair feeling soft.

I bought this on a whim after years of straightening my thick, frizzy hair every day. I always assumed my hair was just unruly, but this product helped me realise it is actually naturally wavy. I apply a small amount to damp hair, brush through with a detangling brush, plop in a T-shirt for around 30 minutes and then let it air dry. The result is much more defined waves, less frizz and far less effort than blow-drying and straightening. It doesn’t create curls from straight hair, but it really helps enhance natural texture. My hair feels soft rather than crunchy and the bottle will last a long time as you only need a small amount. For anyone with thick, frizzy or wavy hair who is tired of fighting it with straighteners, this is well worth trying.

It’s a good cream and does help define my hair (3c-4a)

Very good product

This product ticks all the boxes for my hair management. It reduces frizz, it creates shape, it is easy to use, it can be watered down a little to use as a general "setting" agent, and it smells nice. It's curly girl friendly and doesn't make my hair crunchy unless I want it to. Suits my easygoing lifestyle well.

Bon produit

Great for maintaining and enhancing natural curls but leaves a sort of a sticky gel like feeling in the hair
