Cantu Care for Kids Hair Styling Products Review

I received product free in hopes for me to do a review.  All opinions are my own.  Post contains affiliate links.

Hey yall!  I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day last weekend!  Mine was great; I really enjoyed my special day!  

I got what I wanted which was a Nutri Bullet because I gave my juicer away since it was such a pain to clean it.  I have been using my Nutri Bullet and have been loving it; I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to get it.  If you’re in the market for making smoothies and drinks at home I highly recommend getting this.

Michelle gave me a flower in a flower pot she made.  Too sweet!

Also for Mother’s Day, IKEA hosted my family and me to some Mother’s Day brunch and gifted me a bottle of their Swedish sparkling apple juice, very sweet of them to do that!

My Cantu Care for Kids Hair Styling Products Review

Now, for the real reason of this post.  Cantu haircare now has hair products for kids with textured hair.  I’ve used Cantu's leavein conditioning repair cream a few years back when I became chemical free with my hair and I didn’t like their product at all, flakes, flakes, and more flakes!  After my hair looked like it was snowing I stopped buying their hair product and gave it away to someone else.

Now fast forward to today, their hair styling creams for kids contains no sulfates, glutens, parabens, or mineral oil and these creams are supposed to add hold and keep curls define and tame the frizz.  I’m unsure about their ingredients back then but I was happy to see not all the junk that are usually in hair products.

I wanted my girls to wear their hair down for Mother’s Day so the night before I washed and conditioned their hair like usually, applied leave-in conditioner, and then comb through Cantu’s curling cream and styling custard.  I put their hair in several big twists before they went to bed.  Cantu’s curling cream reminds me of any other curling cream, thick in texture and looks and feels like lotion.  Cantu’s styling custard wasn’t as thick and texture was more like a gel.  

Sunday afternoon before we headed to IKEA for Mother’s Day Brunch, I took my girls' hair down and fluffed it out.  And guess what?  My girls' hair had white flakes, ugh!!!!!  Their hair felt like it was sticky with product like they needed their hair rewashed.  What a disappointment! 

I had no time to rewash their hair so I just let it stay like it was.  I should’ve known that the products would flake in their hair when the creams seem to just sit on top of their hair and not absorb.  I will say my girls’ hair looked nice but I will not be using Cantu ever again!  Their products still is no good.

Have you ever tried hair styling products that flaked in your hair?
