    Cantu kids curling cream: a morning must have

    This has become part of our daily routine and I honestly can’t fault it. I use a little bit before doing my daughter’s hair in the morning and not only does it define her curls beautifully but it smooths flyways that usually have a mind of their own. It’s perfect after bath time to keep her hair tidy and manageable. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts ages. It’s not greasy or heavy and I love that it’s free from sulfates, parabens and silicone. Shea butter, coconut oil and honey do all the work. Would definitely purchase again and recommend to other parents wanting to take curls and coils.

    I don't recommend this product if you have thin wavy hair, as it will weigh it down and leave it looking greasy. This appears to work best on those with thick, curly hair.

    Contains oil & paraffin

    the front label claims "no mineral oil or paraffin," the brand actually uses Petrolatum (petroleum jelly), which is functionally the same thing. It’s listed on the ingredients list. False advertising & false claims.
