FAQs

How often should I use the Cantu Coconut Curling Cream?

You can use it as often as you wash your hair and style your curls. For refreshing between wash days, a smaller amount can be applied to dampened hair to revive curls.

Is this product suitable for all curl types?

It is formulated for natural curls, coils, and waves (textured hair). While beneficial for many, individuals with very fine or low-porosity hair may need to use a very small amount to avoid weighing down their hair or causing buildup.

Do I need to rinse this product out?

No, the Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream is a leave-in treatment. Do not rinse it out after application.

Can I use this cream if I have color-treated hair?

Yes, this product is generally safe for color-treated hair. It is designed to be gentle and moisturizing, which can be beneficial for hair that has undergone chemical processes.

Does this product contain sulfates, parabens, or silicones?

Info needed: Please check the product's official ingredient list on the packaging for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding sulfates, parabens, and silicones.

What is the best way to store the product?

Store the cream in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain its quality.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels sticky or greasy after use.

This usually means too much product was applied. Use significantly less product next time. Ensure your hair is damp, not soaking wet, and distribute evenly.

Curls aren't defined enough or frizz is still present.

Ensure you are applying to thoroughly damp hair and distributing the product section by section. Try scrunching or finger-coiling more vigorously to encourage curl formation. Consider layering with a light hold gel if more definition is needed.

White flakes appear in hair after product dries.

This often occurs from product buildup or incompatibility with other products. Try using less product, ensuring your hair is very damp upon application, and applying products from thinnest to thickest consistency. A clarifying shampoo can help remove buildup.

Hair feels dry or brittle despite using the cream.

The cream provides moisture, but if your hair is severely dry, ensure you're using a good leave-in conditioner beforehand. Also, verify your hair is thoroughly saturated with water before applying the cream, as it helps 'lock in' existing moisture.
