Frizz is usually a moisture problem wearing a disguise. Hair that has enough water in it, held there by something with a bit of weight, tends to behave. That is the thinking behind Cantu's Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream, which is built on shea butter rather than a long list of light conditioning agents.

It is thicker than a lotion and thinner than a butter. On damp hair it spreads without dragging, and it dries to a soft finish with no crunch.

  • Shea butter does the moisturising, so drier textures get something substantial
  • Defines waves, coils and tighter curls without stiffness
  • Keeps frizz down in humidity
  • Leaves enough movement that hair does not sit in a solid mass

Best on type 2c through 4a hair, particularly anything that drinks product and still feels dry by lunchtime. 12 oz / 355 ml. Apply to soaking wet hair, section by section, then leave it alone to dry rather than touching it.

Application tips

Wet hair works best, damp hair works, dry hair does not. Take it a section at a time, smooth down, then scrunch upward to encourage the curl to gather.

Air dry or diffuse. If your hair drinks product, go back over the ends with a second, smaller pass rather than doubling the amount on the first.

Results

Waves and coils gather into clear, separated pieces with no stiffness to break out afterwards. Hair stays soft and moves freely, so the head does not sit as one solid mass.

Frizz stays down through a humid afternoon. Textures that usually feel dry by lunchtime hold on to some give, which is what tells you the moisture actually landed.

Composition

Shea Butter
Gives drier textures something substantial to hold moisture against
