Curling cream sits at the thicker end of the styling shelf.

It is not a gel and it is not a leave-in, so what you get from this Cantu jar is shape with softness still in it. The curl holds its pattern and you can still run a hand through it.

On children's hair that is a fair trade. Kids move, sleep on their hair and get it wet, and a stiff cast will not survive any of that. Cantu build this one to define coils, curls and waves while keeping the strand itself conditioned, so the style is not doing damage while it looks tidy.

  • Defines curls and coils without a crunchy finish
  • Smooths frizz on the surface of the style
  • Keeps fine hair conditioned rather than coated
  • Works on twist-outs, braid-outs and a plain wash-and-go

The 227 gm jar goes a long way on a child's head, so start with less than you think. Best on type 2C to 4A textures that want definition with some movement left in.

Application tips

Get the hair properly wet first, then divide it into four. A small amount per section, smoothed down the length with the flat of your fingers rather than raked through.

Leave it to dry without touching it. If you are plaiting or putting it up, do that straight away while the cream is still wet and the hair still moves.

Results

Curls and coils come out defined and soft enough to run a hand through, which matters when the wearer is five. There is no crunch to break out and nothing stiff for them to pick at.

Frizz stays down through a school day, and the hair is still manageable at bath time rather than matted into a solid layer.
