I usually keep a jar of its predecessor Cantu Leave-In Conditioner in my rotation, which I like and I thought the Curling Creme would be worth a try.
How I Applied the Product:
My hair texture is 3b in the front and 3c/4a in the back and I'm an avid "Wash N' Go" natural since my hair is very wavy and coily. As a rule, I don't need a "curling creme" to get more definition but I do like a "hold" since my 3c tresses can be very unruly and will frizz out as soon as it's moisture retention has dropped.
I applied the Cantu Coconut Curling Creme on "wet" hair that had already been sectioned into approximately 8 large twists and the Cantu Leave-In Conditioner had already been applied. Immediately after co-washing my hair, I always apply a leave-in or a "watered-down version" of Tresemme Naturals Conditioner on my hair, twist into large sections, cover hair with a plastic cap and scarf and leave on overnight. When I wake up in the morning, hair is wet but not dripping and then I apply my "styler" in the morning then I'm off to work.
The product went on very smoothly and consistency was just a "tad" bit thicker than it's counterpart "Cantu Leave-In Conditioner." Product was very creamy and had a light fragrance of coconut. From past experiences with curling cremes, I knew that I didn't need to apply too much so I used about two "quarter-sized" amounts and that was enough to get soft, bouncy curls.
This product also yields a "flexible" hold! It will not "freeze" your coils or curls! This product will allow your hair to maintain a curl and shape but blow in the wind. It's hold is very similar to "Let's Jam!"
Conclusion
I did find that if you applied too much of the product, you will have limp, greasy, but SOFT hair! I suggest that you start with a small amount then apply more, as needed! I like the creaminess and the fragrance of the product. The price was comparable for the amount of product you get. I did find that it was a great substitution for Miss Jessie's Curling Creme.
If you like light, fluffy hair, with a soft/flexible hold, this is your product. Hair did feel hydrated and moisturized which is a MUST for my 3c strands.
