Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In vs. Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-In

[countrychickd]

I love Cantu Shea Butter Leave In! My staple leave in conditioner. I don't think I'll ever stray. I've tried Giovanni Direct, and I like it, but nothing beats Cantu for me.

Cantu Shea!!! All the way.

I've never used the cantu and probably never will, but I absolutely LOVE SheaMoisture! Definitely a staple for me!

I really wanted to like the cantu shea butter as a leave-in. it gave good definition for my twist out but my scalp HATED it. I'm not sure what's in the ingredients but something my scalp doesn't like. I then tried the shea moisture leave-in. like the cantu shea butter, it gave good definition for my styles but the one thing both of them did that I dont like- my hair takes longer to dry.I found that the shea moisture worked better for the wash'n'go than the giovanni leave-in so I will definitely hold on to the Shea Moisture! I will always love my Giovanni direct leave-in, its not as thick as either of the above-mentioned but this too has its place; in fact there's enough space in my hair arsenal for both.

Cantu all the way!!! love the smell and the texture...a lil does go a long way. My mother use a "generous" amount meaning to *her* a handful leaving her hair hard and dry. lol She finally got the point.

I voted for Cantu. I use Cantu as a styling conditioner. When I use it my curls are shiny and soft. I get great results sometimes and so so other times. I have to figure out the exact amount that works for my hair it seems like a lot goes a long way for me and I use a Denman brush to distribute it. Shea Moisture I used a long time ago and had good results with it. It really adds moisture to dry hair...hmmm I think I need to revisit it.

For some reason I couldn't get with the Cantu at all. The smell and texture just feel off to me. The SheaMoisture, though, has been really good for adding moisture, especially when I stretch for weeks.

I loooooooooove Cantu Shea Butter. It makes my hair so soft and easy to detangle. In May, I put yarn braids in my hair for the first time. I worried that my hair would be dry when I took the braids out. I put the Cantu on my hair before I put the yarn in and when I was taking the yarn out. My hair was so soft and moisturized when I took the braids down. The Cantu also helped me to detangle the few knots that I got in my hair.

I swear I must have the driest hair on the planet, because I can load up on the Cantu with no problem at all. I haven't tried the Shea Moisture on my natural hair; I tried it on relaxed hair and had the WORST time combing through afterward.I love the smell but it provided zero moisture to me.

I plan on trying the leave in real soon

 

[Fhrizzball]

cantu didn't leave my hair hard or dry but it left flakes. It's sad because if it wasn't for that I would be still using it. I didn't even use alot at all or used it with other products. I love the smell.

I Purchased Cantu about a month ago, it's actually the Cantu Shea Soft Daily Shea Butter Oil Moisturizer I Like it. (And I am "funny" about certain Products)

I don't use it everyday, But so far, so good. It leaves my hair really moisturized and it's very pleasant smelling. I have not noticed any significant build up dispite the "ingredients".

However, after reviewing the ingredients, they aren't the greatest.erplexed So, I will continue to evaluate this product to see if it will be a repurchase.

I have a curl & I use the Cantu. I usually spray some water on my hair & work a little in & baggy overnight. My hair is usually soft & shiny the next morning. I've had the same jar for months so I don't use it all the time but I do like it.

When I was natural, Cantu Shea Butter leave in was terrible on my hair. It was just thick and goopy and hard. I used it since relaxing and it was "Meh." I find Garnier Fructis' Leave-in conditioner to be much lighter and more pliable.

I LOOOOVE Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave In COnditioner!

I use it combined with devacare one conditioner as a leave in for my twists. My twists come out soooooo moisturized and beautiful. I also use it for moisture between co-washes or washes. I was just having a conversation with a friend I bought a bottle for, and she loves it. However, when I go to the company's website, it is not listed as one of their products. I was going to see about bulk ordering. I just hope that they still make it, but it is just not listed on the website. I hate getting used to a product and then it is not made anymore.

I have never used the Cantu Shea Butter Leave In. I read the ingredients and was not too impressed. I also have a friend that uses it on her hair, and it always looks so hard and stiff to me. I like my hair to be moisturized but with a little life.

This is a picutre of fresh hair untwisted using devacare and shea moisture as leave ins.

I started using Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In this summer (dunno why I slept on it for so long) and I love it for my braid/twistouts. I have yet to try it for rollersets and wash-n-go's, I'm sure it will work just as well.

Also just to add: It's best to use it alone w/o any other additional products (natural oils seem to be the exception) it works best on wet/damp hair, and a little does go a long way.

 

[melodies815]

I have used Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In on top of Aloe Vera Gel and Shea butter...and it worked very well! As long as I don't use anything with cones, I get no white balls.

Great product, depending on what you are trying to do!
