Cantu Guava Cream Gel 12 oz / 340 gm - Define, Strengthen & Hydrate Curls
A cream gel is a compromise product in the best sense. You get the definition and hold of a gel with the moisture of a cream, out of one jar, which saves you layering two things on wash day and hoping they get along.
Shea butter and guava carry the moisture side. Ginger and castor oil are in there too, and the whole thing sets soft rather than hard, so curls hold their shape but stay touchable. Nothing flakes, nothing crunches, and there is no cast to scrunch out afterwards.
Treat it as a daily styler rather than a weekly treatment. Use it on soaking wet hair, section by section, and let it dry undisturbed. 12 oz / 340 gm, and it holds up across 2c waves through to 4b coils. If your hair wants moisture and hold in equal measure, this is the shortcut.

Application tips
More product than you think, on hair still running with water. Smooth it down each section with the flat of the hand, rake once with the fingers to spread it, then scrunch to encourage the coil.
Leave it to dry undisturbed. There is no cast to break afterwards, since it sets soft in the first place.
Results
Curls hold their shape for days and stay soft enough to touch, which is the trade most people are trying to make when they layer a gel over a cream. Nothing flakes at the parting.
Moisture stays in through day two and three, so a refresh spray is usually enough rather than a full rewash. Shine reads natural, not wet.
