Product Review: Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner


Twits Styled

I have been on the hunt for natural hairstyles and in the process become a youtube junkie. I spend hours scouring for ideas and products to try, but what I won’t do is go broke trying everything. I pick and choose items that sound promising and give a real value for my buck and if it doesn’t work I wish I wasn’t so lazy, but I usually end up losing money because I won’t take it back. I digress, anyway, I have heard some good things about Cantu Shea Butter, and so I decided to try it out. Can be found at Walmart or most beauty supply stores. I co-washed, detangled in shower, left hair drenched, parted hair in no particular way, oiled sections, saturated each section with Cantu product as I parted and made large two strand twist. I styled it and headed out, I wore twist for 5 days.

Day 2 of twist out

On day 6 I did a twist-out, I gelled and brushed one side up out of my face and held it in place with 2 combs. I wore this style for another 7 days. I was so impressed by the definition, the moisture and shine was great. The definition did not go flat while I slept, or lost its depth no matter how much I rubbed my hands over it. I wrapped a scarf around my edges and put on a satin bonnet and slept. I probably could have gone another week if I used my scalp mix of peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and African pride oil on day 1 as oppose to day 6.
  I will definitely repeat this style process throughout winter. I will try different styles with the twist and now since I know how the twist out maintains, I will try different styles with the twist out. The next time, I will attempt to actually pull ringlets apart and hope that it will get big but not fuzzy. We will see, until next time.
