I am a Cantu girl. It works great for me and doesn't cost as much as Shea Moisturizer

[@natashamczeal8589]

Love Cantu

[@dailyhappytimeswithparrie4008]

I know we are here about the hair. But can we just stop and admire how pretty your eyes and skin are!

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Thank you boo!!

[@shereemorgan1430]

I personally like Cantu, better, and it's a lot cheaper.

[@daniuzuegbu351]

Cantu has petroleum..

[@shereemorgan1430]

I don't adhere to the hair nazi rules. I use what works for me. I don't buy into all the propaganda. I was natural in the 70's, my hair is still beautiful.

[@daniuzuegbu351]

Sheree Morgan fair enough.

[@noellamonyuy26]

[@dommii83]

+Sheree Morgan LOVE YOUR COMMENT TO PIECES. 😘

[@lolwhytho]

Idk why people think if hair products aren't 100% natural it's bad for them. People need to stop getting so caught up in this natural ingredients thing, and start focusing on what actually works for their hair. If Cantu ingredients were soooo bad for you, I'm sure nobody would purchase it and they'd be out of business a long time ago. I've tried Shea Moisture and it's okay(leaves my hair a bit too dry for my liking), but it doesn't work miracles for me like Cantu does. Many people in the comments say they have never and will never touch Cantu, but I think people need to be open-minded and stop bashing the Cantu line without actually trying it first. Also, I'm sure these same people don't go to restaurants and ask for the list of ingredients, and I'm sure most of them aren't vegan, so their bodies, including their hair, isn't "all natural" anyway. You guys are acting like using Cantu is a sin, and fail to see that the Cantu worked better for her than the Shea Moisture. Everybody is different and Shea Moisture doesn't work for everyone.

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

Well said. 🙌

[@raynorsdelight283]

Very well said girl.

[@ashafuller6798]

Samantherrr♥ tell it. I love both but that cantu curling cream is the bomb on my hair.it stays moisturized longer with cantu.

[@TheRedEyeDtreeFwoGG]

cantu is more water based than shea. your hair probably has a higher proclivity to water based products as opposed to thicker cream based

[@Erazya]

Well, smoking cigarettes isn't illegal because the government earns money from it which is the reason that your argument that : it would be forbidden to sell, if it would be so bad, doesn't work. You always have to ask yourself: It is bad? For WHO 😉 ?

[@BklynBabe]

my hair has always preferred Cantu over Shea Moisture! so has my wallet, lol.

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

+BklynBabe lol. I'm learning that my wallet is more happy as well :)

[@Daikamaitachi]

+NaturallyComplex I heard they may do a bogo again at Walgreens. My wallet will just have to hurt a bit.

[@kathrynbarron4530]

Well Cantu will be cheaper because shea moisture use more natural ingredients

[@quenquen200726]

[@princesslamour1985]

low porosity. struggle is real

[@billierydale4801]

+princesslamour what's your hair type? try using warm water on your to open the cuticle to allow moisture in. use warm water ONLY. use it when you shampoo,condition, deep condition, reapply moisture you get the point I hope lol do not cold rinse your hair. after washing your hair in order to seal moisture in and close the cuticle apply your leave in conditioner on damp hair, then cold shot your cuticle closed with your hair dryer. that's it trust me it works. it worked better for me sectioning my hair into five parts applying my leave in then cold shot each section one at a time. this regimen changed my hair! if I confused you, I recommend watching "shlinda1 low porosity" video its where I got all my info so you'd better understand step by step☺

[@CANDYALEXCEE]

In my opinion, Shea moisture is a lot better than Cantu... I have both products as well and Shae moisture is # 1 for me.

[@ivymora2370]

CANDY VILLARREAL same

[@truchinastewart9294]

I personally prefer shea moisture over cantu. Cantu left my hair dry and crunchy. Definitely didn't hold up outside in the heat. Shea moisture leaves my hair soft and shiny and defines my curls way better. I think your shea moisture looked like that because it was old and maybe had the top left off for a while because mine is always creamy.

[@MyMoneeTV]

I like the cantu side 😘

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

+MyMoneeTV Thank you!

[@angryhippie9944]

My hair LOVES Cantu products. Shea Moisture creams leave my hair feeling filmy and dry..

[@LonerBecause]

Yep!

[@user-xe5yg3vy9q]

Cantu doesn't work on my hair makes it really dry but shea moisture makes my 3b curly hair SO defined

[@princessrice6414]

i love cantu i decided to buy that line instead of Shea moisture simply because cantu is affordable. I'm sorry I'm not gonna break the bank with a product thats $10-13 dollars. Besides not everything is 100% natural these days its all made in a factory so no telling what "secret" ingredients they put in & not tell u. Don't get caught up in the Hype just do what works for u nonetheless.

lol. I love Cantu. Thanks for watching :)

[@PrincessWhatsername]

I just started using Cantu products this week and omg I'm so in love with them! So far I've used the conditioner after a final sulfate wash (my previous products had lots of silicones, and sulfates are the only way to clean those out), along with the leave in conditioning cream (I've used this every morning after my shower), and today I used their co-wash to deal with some dandruff flakes (I have to co-wash fairly often, like every couple days because of this), and honestly, my hair has loved everything so far, like, such a noticable difference that I was getting compliments from coworkers! I'm definitely going to be trying the curling cream next!

[@shernell9529]

but I must admit looking at the left and right side. on my eye view the Shea curl enchancing smoothie give your hair more volume than the other product.

the Cantu product has petroleum as the ninth ingredient... that's why we love it so much more and the hair is softer and shinier and doesn't dry out before the end of the day...

I don't mind, but really ppl have to understand that... not everyone's hair is the same. If it works for u, ok. If it doesn't... don't use it. Don't buy it, so let's just move on. When I did use Cantu product's, it made my hair flaky. That's fine and now I found what works for me. Not complaining. My hair is thick and Shea moisture does the job for me. Good vid I guess though :)

Yes. a lot of people critisize certain hair lines just because it didn't work for THEIR hair. And they tell others not to use it and it's crap. But not every product performs the same on every hair texture.

Nice. I started with the Shea moisture smoothie. When TGIN came about I tried their twist and define cream. I can honestly say I don't like the way it feels on my hair.

Now, I'm transitioning (for the umpteen time) and perhaps that had something to do with it or maybe it was TOO many CONDITIONING TYPE PRODUCTS, BUT I GRABBED A WATER BOTTLE, MY CANTU LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER, MY OPTIMUM OIL, MY ECO STYLING GEL and fixed that Bad Boy!!! I will be trying to sort out what exactly happened by cutting out the MASK then THE DEEP CONDITIONER (if that doesn't work) mixing that line with other products to see if I can narrow it down but if something is better for your hair, it just is and if it's more COST EFFECTIVE.... Hey Boo, you win!

+Elizabeth Lizzy looks like 3c/4a . I know she's not 4c

[@elizabeth-7064]

Jasmine G oh thanks I thought mine was 3c/4a too.

[@TheStinalee201120]

She seems to be predominantly 3c though.

[@elizabeth-7064]

[@Shonda_Goddess777]

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

+naturalhair baby doll Thank you! i love both of them. lol. Definitely give the cantu a shot!

[@flowersroses4430]

I agree

[@tammybrownbarajas8165]

Your hair looks great. I just started with Natural hair products. I love both Sheamoisture and Cantu products. Your makeup looks fabulous too lady

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Thank you!!

[@kyla3834]

I used to swear by the cant coconut curling cream, but the next day my hair was super dry. The curl enhancing smoothie does the job for me now. Even though I havte the smell, it is the best product I have found for my hair. Everyone's hair is different

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

So glad you found a product your hair loves :)

[@kyla3834]

NaturallyComplex thanks!

[@lisaruffin3525]

I get lost in her eyes. they're so mesmerizing.

[@bklynsown274]

anytime beautiful 😉by the way i started using the Cantu cream for my hair it really enhances and brings out my natural curls

[@urockit2011]

So surprised! After watching so many hair videos on KZbin, it seemed like Shea Moisture was the go-to brand for everyone.

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

It really is my go-to brand, but I found a styling product that i like a little more than the curl enhancing smoothie by shea moisture.. thats all. Still LOVE Shea Moisture products!

[@jasminecook2723]

I too have used shea moisture products and I have to admit I did like how my hair curled up and the moisture I received while using these products. Just recently I began to use Cantu products again. I used Cantu before going natural on both me and my daughter's hair and I loved it! Cantu is a lot cheaper on the pockets and it does its job! I have to admit though that the Cantu Coconut Cream does leave your hair feeling heavy and it cause your hair to hold a white substance that will have to be washed out. I think I may use Cantu hair products a lot more often. I would also like to say it may work differently on different textured hair.

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Yes, what works for me might not work for others! You just have to try things out. Thanks for your comment :)

[@decoranddesign33307]

Can't is for girls with like more and really thick hair. Wish I could use shea moisture but it won't hold down my hair ugh .

[@chaynahamilton920]

The enhancing wasn't suppose to "Hold" it. It just defines. The souffle would've worked better because its meant to "Hold" it.

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

I know that it isn't supposed to "hold" it.. I'm battling products based on what I hope to achieve and how I use them.

[@chariseyoung1361]

Chayna Hamilton that's why you use the moisturizong twist and lock gel

[@tasha7146]

I have been using the shea moisture moisture retention for my daughters hair since she was born. Have you noticed the weather the brush you use makes a difference?

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

+Tash A Hi. I still use my curl enhancing smoothie & I haven't really noticed a difference if I used a different brush. I still love it.

[@naenaebadazz69]

Your hair came out really pretty. I am going to try the coconut cantu tfs i love the color lipstick also

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Thank you :)

[@naenaebadazz69]

NaturallyComplex you're welcome

[@destinyisyours]

I'm happy that I finally found someone with a similar hair type!! Your twists are so perfect! Mine never turn out. Do you have a tutorial for two strand twists? Also I love that lip color at the end. 🙈

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Awwww. Yay!! Thank you so much. I don't have an in depth video on how I do my twist out, but I'll do one! :)

[@youngboy2663]

Ur hair looks good! I love all Cantu products except the conditioner. It doesn't have enough slip.

[@TheNaturallyComplex]

Thank You!
