Most Cantu products are formulated to be free of mineral oil, sulfates, parabens, silicones, and phthalates, which is great for gentle cleansing and hair health. While a few products may contain alcohols, they are usually "fatty alcohols" (like Cetyl or Stearyl Alcohol) which are moisturizing, not drying!
Flaking is often due to product incompatibility or layering too much product. The helpful solution is to ensure your hair is very wet during application, avoid mixing oil-heavy products with water-based gels, and try to use less product overall.
Cantu products can absolutely work for low-porosity hair, but selection is key! Stick to lighter products within the line, such as the Avocado or Grapeseed oil formulas, and be sure to use a clarifying shampoo monthly to prevent the shea butter from building up.
No, Cantu is not inherently damaging and does not cause hair loss. Concerns often stem from product misuse. The heavy nature of the Shea Butter can cause buildup that blocks hair follicles, leading to inflammation—this can be avoided by simply clarifying your scalp regularly (once a month).
For Wash-and-Go, use lighter creams like the Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream followed by a gel. For Twist/Braid-Outs, use the heavier products like the Coconut Curling Cream or Twist & Lock Gel for maximum definition and hold.
The stiffness is called a 'cast,' which is actually a sign the product provided good hold and definition! To remove the crunch, wait until your hair is 100% dry, then gently 'scrunch out the crunch' using a tiny bit of lightweight oil or serum on your hands.
Yes, Cantu is a cruelty-free brand and does not test its finished products or ingredients on animals. Many, but not all, products are vegan, so it is best to check the specific product's ingredient list if vegan status is essential.
Some Cantu products do contain protein (e.g., silk amino acids) which is excellent for strengthening damaged hair. If you suspect protein sensitivity, you can easily check the ingredient label or stick to their protein-free formulas to avoid any potential stiffness or brittleness.
Yes, Cantu products are generally safe for color-treated, chemically relaxed, and permed hair. Their sulfate-free cleansers and moisture-rich creams help maintain the color and strength of treated hair without stripping or drying it out.
Absolutely! Hair care is for everyone. Cantu has a dedicated Men's Collection for textured hair and beard care, but the core line products are perfectly suitable and widely used by men with curly, coily, or wavy hair.
