Heavy
A little heavy but definitely helped smooth my daughters hair. She has fine hair so doesn’t need much product.

Rich
Cantu’s Coconut Curling Cream is one of those products that actually delivers on definition without weighing hair down. It leaves curls soft, bouncy, and moisturized with a natural shine. The texture is rich but not greasy, and a little goes a long way, which makes it great for both wash-and-go styles and twist-outs. It also helps tame frizz really well, especially on humid days. Overall, it’s a reliable, budget-friendly curl cream that keeps curls looking hydrated and defined all day.

It really does what is promised
My Experience with this curling cream was amazing, I have been using it on my toddlers hair to define her curls and is definately the best product I have tried, the texture, the scent, how it mix it up with other products that's oustanding, it doesn't leave residues and the ingredientes are gentle.

curl bounce
works wonders for enhancing the small curls. it is kinda thick so does not take a lot. very detailed labels, lets you know everything you need to about the product. easily washes out and great for any type of hair but works wonders on mixed or black. very lightly scented.

Great packaging, tames frizz, no build-up, and sme
I’ve been using Cantu Care for Kids Curling Cream for two days and I’m already impressed. It comes in a cute, sturdy jar that’s easy to open and use, even with one hand while managing a toddler. The texture is creamy and smooth, not too thick, and applies easily through the hair. My son’s curls are more defined, soft, and bouncy. It helps a lot with frizz, we live in a humid climate and I’ve seen a big difference. His hair stays in place and looks neat for most of the day. There’s no heavy build-up so far, which I love. It absorbs well and doesn’t leave the hair greasy or flaky. Plus, the scent is amazing sweet and clean. My son loves it so much he sometimes sucks his fingers after application.

Great for children and adults!
Yes I am a grown woman and yes I use this product every time I wash my hair. It’s great! It’s a very light curl cream that is great for children’s hair. I like to use it after my leave in but for kids it’s good enough to use on its own. It has a nice not too strong scent and the bottle is great when you have lots in your hands. Am using for myself but will also use for my kiddo when he is older.

Wonderful
If you have a child with curly hair, it will work very well to style their hair and also make it last a long time. The consistency is thick and the smell is undoubtedly the best thing about it. Try it and you will see.

Definición sin frizz
It defines the curls and waves of your baby's hair well, leaving it soft and frizz-free. It smells lovely. Use a small amount at first, especially if your baby's hair is fine, to assess how much is needed so the hair doesn't become too saturated and/or stiff with white residue.

Great for wavy hair too.
This custard works great for keeping my daughters hair wavy all day and frizz under control. A little goes a long way, and it doesn’t leave hair smelling or sticky. She seems to like it.

Love the feel and smell
I love all Cantu products but this is my favorite to use on my daughter’s hair.!85 provides moisture, while keeping the frizz down without a crunchy feel. It still provides the bounce to her curls. She does have slight eczema and I haven’t noticed this product irritating her skin much. We also just put it at the base of her curls and scrunch it up as we style it.
