Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream 16 oz / 453 gm - For Intense Moisture & Repair
The 16 oz tub is the reason a lot of people buy this one. It is a leave-in you use by the handful on thick hair, and the smaller sizes disappear fast.
What is inside is 100% pure shea butter blended with natural oils, in a cream thick enough to coat a dense section properly. Hair that has been through heat, colour or chemical processing tends to feel rough and porous, and this puts weight and slip back so combing stops costing you strands. Shine comes back with it. The texture is worth describing honestly, because it catches people out. This is not a light cream. It is dense, it needs warming between the palms before it will spread, and if you apply it to hair that is merely damp rather than dripping you will use three times as much and end up with a white cast at the roots.
Where it sits in a routine: straight after washing, on soaking wet hair, before any styler. It is a base layer rather than a finisher.
Tagged 3b through 4c, and honestly that is where it belongs. On looser curls it can be heavy unless you use a very small amount and concentrate it on the ends. On 4b and 4c it is closer to a staple, which is why the big tub exists in the first place.

Application tips
Damp hair straight out of the shower, sectioned into four. A generous scoop per section on long or dense hair, smoothed down and then finger-combed to the ends.
Leave it in and style from there. If your hair is fine, halve the amount and keep it strictly below the ears, since a tub this rich will flatten a light texture.
Results
Breakage slows, which shows up as a comb that comes away with less in it. Ends look less frayed and hair holds together under handling.
Manageability is the other half. Sections stay separate, a style takes less work to set, and the shine that comes up is even along the length rather than patchy where the hair is driest.
Composition
