Cantu Cancelled

[Lucky me]

Have you heard they added rubbing alcohol to the repair leave in cream? There's videos all over YouTube. In one video a Cantu rep responded in the comments . Thankfully I've never used Cantu in my natural hair. Cheap products are cheap for a reason.

I don’t care for any of their products, but that ingredient was put that as a dissolver. So it’s not necessary a bad thing to use, depending on the concentration of it. If it works for someone, they should continue to use it. For myself, those products are crappy and full of wax and fillers anyway.

Never used their products. I have heard mixed reviews, so I have been hesitant in trying it. I agree with @shortdub78 that it depends on the concentration. I'm still not interested in their products.

Never liked Cantu so no loss.

I used Cantu early on in my natural hair journey but quickly stopped using it. Yes it was cheap but I always got flakes and I had to do my hair every day. I now use better quality products and have zero flakes and multiple day hair. So this is not a loss for me.

As long as they don't mess with the curl activator cream I'm good

I did enjoy using their root rinse this summer when I had braids for a quick second

My youngest loves Cantu products. I refused to buy them but she spent her own money and bought them herself. Now I'm mad because now she is doing wash and go's and twist outs that she couldn't do with the expensive "all natural" stuff I was buying. Humph.

Love the root rinse when I had my crochets in. I had some other Cantu products but they were unimpressive. They didn’t appear to hurt my hair but they didn’t help either.

I like the new Apple Cider Rinse they have. It worked better on my scalp than head and shoulders. But that's all I've ever tried. They put too much glycerin in their products for my hair.

Is it really rubbing alcohol or another alcohol?

I agree that an added alcohol doesn't make a product worse all of the time. It's more of a personal thing, how your hair reacts to it.

I am shocked they actually made that rinse. If I ever do long-term braids w/o extensions, I will try it.

Update:

My baby’s hair dried out like winter straw after a few days of Cantu.

I hope you're able to find her some different products that don't dry her hair out.

It's not a black company. When I was transitioning, I bought some widely-touted product of theirs, maybe a leave in, but I quickly re gifted it.

Sure did!

I use DE Coconut Water, with a little Hydratherma naturals Growth Lotion, and MimsEssentials coil & twist butter to seal.
