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.
Shea Moisture is definitely more expensive, but I coupon so I get my products reasonable, really cheap! I do want to get the Cantu products now that I've seen her hair ❤️❤️
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.
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 😉 ?
Wow I had no idea how much work It takes for this certain type of hair. I completely take back all my complaining about how much work my frizzy and curly hair takes to look nice. Much respect to you mama's. It came out gorgeous. :)
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.
+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☺
I have both, however the Cantu curl activator creme was much better, cheaper. I only needed to use a little bit of product. I paid $2.99 for a small jar. My curls were poppin. I tried Shea Moisture Curling pudding from Target paid like $14 and I had to use a lot. Hanfs down Cantu is my favorite. I do love the Shea Moisture Retention Jamaican Castor Oil Shampoo & Conditioner.
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!
Yes, I agree with you the Cantu side does looks more defined & also fuller and it looks better than the Shea Moisture side I see some of the ends aren't as defined. I use Cantu & Shea Moisture and on my 4, a& b hair the Cantu defines my hair & makes it more shiny but the Shea Moisture leaves more hair more softer & bouncy still it defines the same makes my hair more fuller!!😍 I love both honestly but when I'm trying to save coins I'm buying the Cantu!!💕
I brought cantu and thought it would be good for my hair it only kept my hair moisturized for about 10 mins shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in moisturizer rejuvenated my strands and stayed that way for a long time
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.
Cantu made my hair feel dry and unmanageable after using it for like a month. Also, I started losing more hair than usual. I switched to Shea and I am satisfied. My hair feels healthier and it has a natural look, unlike the gel like look Cantu used to give.
Thank you for your review. I used the Cantu Curling Cream and it left my 4C hair tightly curled, too much shrinkage and dry! I prefer the Shea Moisture Curing Cream because it leaves my hair moist and my hair elongated for my afro.
Your hair is beautiful! The Shea Moisture makes your hair bigger and fluffier and and the Cantu makes your hair tame. I'm glad that you said the Cantu makes your hair softer. I am using the Shea Moisture right now and my hair dries out before noon. I am going to try the Cantu. Thank you for your review. I really appreciate it.
+woman lady Thank you! Yes.. the Shea Moisture definitely makes the hair bigger, but I noticed that it also gets really frizzy throughout the day. I've been loving the Cantu.
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.
Thank you for doing a battle of the brands review, I watched many reviews on both products individually but your comparison was so on point with the questions I had. Keep up the great work, I really loved your video!
Great video👍I did tried both as well in my hair and YES Although I use shea moisture products such as shampoo products, however when it comes to twisting my hair, Cantu curling cream works best for me, and the shea moisture gel soufflé also works for me as well. ❤️
I feel like Cantu is finna help my hair so much I wanna get it bit my dad still hasn’t buy it for me yet I need Cantu for my hair because I think it’s gonna dentangle my hair better then detengeling it with a comb
I totally agree with you on the Cantu. I've tried both as well and I do like the Cantu better. I enjoyed the video and you looked stunning afterwards. Natural girls rock!
@@sharonejang9052 I discovered Beauty Galore via Facebook. They sell Cantu Products. The shop is located on Kamu Kamu Plaza level one FF11 or Kabalagala Min Village shop no P16. I asked for prices and was told 50k each product.
I think it just depends on what type of hair you have and also what works best for you. I have tried both on my hair. Cantu had my hair feeling soft and not dry out. SM had my hair feeling kinda hard. But I still do both tho
@@TheNaturallyComplex Yes I too love the colour of your lipstick. Looks really nice on you. I live in England so don't know if that brand is sold here.
i had to use shea moisture for a few months instead of my usual cantu and i almost went crazy. its just not the same. cantu is more soft and shiny. i love it. i wish theyd sell online or in more countries overseas
Shea Moisture took my hair out long long ago before I was natural. 🙅 They won't get another chance at my hair. Nope! I've been natural for egos. I love the Cantau line. My new male friend insist on me twisting and braiding his hair. I'm definitely 4C. He's between 3B-3Cish. Cantau has a Men's line we're about to explore 😜 💯
Kathryn Smith I love supporting black owned businesses. But, if something doesn't work for me I'm not going to buy it just because it's a black owned business.
Just ordered the SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Shampoo and Conditioner to try it. I also use Cantu Argan Oil Leave in Conditioner and the Cantu Kids Detangling Spray for my hair. Can't wait to see my results with the SheaMoisture Products. Your hair is gorgeous. Thanks for this review.
@@beamboba I didn't like the coconut hibiscus on my hair. However the Coconut Hydrating Shea Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner worked better on my hair. It moisturized my hair beautifully.
Shea moisture ❤. I honestly love Shea moisture more but I do like them both. I just use some type of coconut spray from Cantu. 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. Even though the curl pattern is decent after the twist out and it's creamier, I rather use the smoothie. Then again, I thought about using that Cantu as well to see since it's cheaper lol. Beautiful hair though!
I have used Shea Moisture products & Cantu Products. Shea moisture makes my curls more soft, bouncy, and moisturize. Cantu, pop my curls more, but not as bouncy & volume but I love both products also I love to use it with Jamacian Black Castor Oil 100% they have my curls shining I only use a small amount because the oil is thick. If, I put too much in my hair my curls would be weighed down & limp so a little goes a long way!!😍
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 only count up to eighth ingredient sooo it's a winner in my book... we are not going to even compare the price! loved the video! New subie!
I have usedy cantu's growth strengthen cream before and just purchase the Shea moisture deep treatment masque. And I love it. I have Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie. I like that it works best when the hair is real wet. And yes it does leave the hair a bit dry.
I know people in the comments are going back and forth about which one is better and what ingredients such and such as but everything does not work the same way for everyone and the Cantu is what I use to moisturize my hair after I wash it and as a styling aid and it's the only thing that keeps my hair continuously hydrated as well as my son. I have that really low porosity tightly curled afro hair!!!
I am actually a cantu fan. I so love the product because it work well for me let remember the fact that It works for me doesn't me it must work for u ok. So i have dry hair and was suffering hair breakage and I started using cantu and it actually works it keeps my hair shinny, bouncy and growing.
I. Have all Cantu products except the curling cream activator.. Haven't master the defined curls I want. I heard you said you used less of Cantu for more currier look. I'll wash and attempt this tomorrow
I used the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter LINE: Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner & Mask. By the end, I looked in the mirror and had a 'BRILLO PAD' sitting on my head! 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!
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
For some reason, my twist-outs never seem to form a curl, probably because I'm not using a CURLING cream/leave-in. I will definitely be trying one or both of these products!
It's crazy I was just about to search cantu vs shea moisture in the search bar but this video happened to be in my suggestion box. Thank you for making this video. Just what I needed
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.
Love this video, last week I started to use natural products, I have used this Shea moisture product but on my hair it feels heavy and sticky. Today I purchased quite a few Cantus natural line products and I really like it, also they are very affordable.
I've decided to go heat free for the rest of the year (at least) and have been dying to know whether or not I should go for cantu or Shea moisture for when I try a twist out and this has consolidated my choice! Cantu it is!! The cantu side looked nicer in my opinion and the Shea moisture prices were definitely putting me off lol thank you so much for sharing this!
gigglyfitzgirl Lol girl you are everywhere. I just came from watching the real and Traeh and now I see you here. Lol I guess Ill see you next week for the real uploads.
Beautiful results! I too prefer the Cantu! For all the reasons you mentioned, Once I did buy the Shea moisture at a beauty supply store cost $16.99 😫highway robbery, but if Shea moisture is your favorite you can order on amazon for a little over $8
on my husbands acct...LOL any who...I want to say thank you for this. As of today I purchased Shea Moisture products. I have been using Cantu and I notice my hair is super duper curly as if I were a baby, however I wanted to see if there is a difference. You video shed some light on my curious mind of the two products. I will try what I purchased today and see which does my hair the Better Good. Thank you, Ericka ps: My husband is always telling me if you don't know You Tube it...Glad I did. Just went natural at 45 yrs young this summer and I am loving it. Again thank you for sharing and having the battle of the brands.
Im a guy and I loved Cantu' at first. It made my curls look awesome and loopy, it maintained my curls all day, it prevented frizz....BUT shit caused me to have SERIOUS hives after maybe like 2 months of using it. Like I broke out in hives all over my body. At first I thought it was medications I was on (which didnt make sense). I also thought maybe it was some fragrances I was using. I stopped using everything (except the Cantu because I thought it was all natural). I even went to my doctor because I thought I was having an autoimmune problem and even took Prednisone (steroid) and antihistamines like crazy. Come a week ago, when a fb friend was complaining about Cantu' and how it made their hair super dry, I noticed my hair also being super brittle. Then, it hit me! My hives had to have been coming from the Cantu since it was the only thing I didnt stop using. I even saw some RUclipsrs complaining about also getting hives from Cantu. Guess what! After one week of not using it, my hives have been coming less and less. Sadly, I think it's going to take a few weeks for the itching to stop all together. But dont go the cheap route! It has a lot of toxic ingredients.
it's becos of your brands battle that I started using Cantu coconut curling cream and I love. like Shea Moisture, don't get me wrong. but everything you said was on point, cheaper, use less product, shinier, soft and smells amazing. Thanks so much.
I recently used the Cantu Shine Custard and it's my new #1 styling product. My hair is so shiny and my curls are defined and shiny a whole week!!. When I use the Shea Moisture Curly Cream, I have to wash my hair more often and add more product as days go by, and it doesn't make my hair as shiny as any Cantu products do. Around me Shea Moisture Curly Cream is $14.00!!
Great video!! I could tell that the Cantu was doing a better job as you were applying it as the curls were really popping out. Also, after the twist out there was less frizz in the back on the on the Cantu side. Thanks for doing a price comparison. I was using the Shea Moisture on my hair but I will have to go out and purchase the Cantu to try on my hair. Thanks again!
Cantu brought my curls back! My hair was dried and damage and straight wouldn't curl at all I start using cantu curling products and my hair is back curly:) I do use shea moisture the Jamaican castor moisturizer works well also
Very good video, i watched the video to make up my mind to know what curling product to buy and i am glad i did. Thanks for sharing. Great job, your hair looks great and definitely the Cantu won.
I use both whenever. However Ross, Marshalls, and sometimes Tjmaxx sell Shea moisture for 6.99... I get it for a steal...lol But they have an oil I use first the the conditioner or the CES
I prefer cantu budget wise, results wise, and even the smell. I brought maybe two different shea moisture products and it didn't take long for me to learn they are NOT for me:) Cantu products are lifeeeeeee try their curl activation curl, it is a dull hair life saver! Also, allthatmane or allaboutthemane I forgot the exact mane but their multivitamin products are great as well. Thanks for the video girly!
I have use the cantu my hair was fine no build up tonight I am trying the Shea moisture one tomorrow I will know the result it’s my first time I it for a twist out with Shea moisture
This was very informative and helpful, so glad I found this video! Thank you! I got both also I haven't tried the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie yet tho, hopefully I'll like, if not its going right back to Rite Aid! lol
The lip color I’m wearing is Colourpop Ultra Matte lipstick in the shade Limbo
Hello sweetness may I know your skin care routine
Fg.
I am a Cantu girl. It works great for me and doesn't cost as much as Shea Moisturizer
Love Cantu
my hair has always preferred Cantu over Shea Moisture! so has my wallet, lol.
+BklynBabe lol. I'm learning that my wallet is more happy as well :)
+NaturallyComplex I heard they may do a bogo again at Walgreens. My wallet will just have to hurt a bit.
Well Cantu will be cheaper because shea moisture use more natural ingredients
Thank you!
+NaturallyComplex the best combo for me right now is the activator cream and the dry deny gel oil.... and they are petroleum free :)
I know we are here about the hair. But can we just stop and admire how pretty your eyes and skin are!
Thank you boo!!
I personally like Cantu, better, and it's a lot cheaper.
Cantu has petroleum..
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.
Sheree Morgan fair enough.
+Danielle Uzuegbu it just half price
+Sheree Morgan LOVE YOUR COMMENT TO PIECES. 😘
Some people like Coke some people like Pepsi
D Mc , lol...ofcouse
Actually, Ginger Ale is my preference. Lol 😉
Pepsi = Cantu 🥰🥰👏👏
Team Coke 😂😂😂
I loved your comparisons. Cantu it is for the budget friendly and it gets the job done.. Thanks!!
Yay! Glad you enjoy :)
@NaturallyComplex : You are a beautiful Nubian Queen.
Shea Moisture is definitely more expensive, but I coupon so I get my products reasonable, really cheap! I do want to get the Cantu products now that I've seen her hair ❤️❤️
Yep!
In my opinion, Shea moisture is a lot better than Cantu... I have both products as well and Shae moisture is # 1 for me.

Well said. 🙌
Very well said girl.
Samantherrr♥ tell it. I love both but that cantu curling cream is the bomb on my hair.it stays moisturized longer with cantu.
cantu is more water based than shea. your hair probably has a higher proclivity to water based products as opposed to thicker cream based
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 😉 ?
My hair LOVES Cantu products. Shea Moisture creams leave my hair feeling filmy and dry..
Same here!😄 With the SM...I would always have to add an oil for shine! So for that reason...I just stick w the Cantu!😊
Same here. Dry and frizzy. Cantu all the way for me

Thank you so much!! :)
I tried the shea moisture first, got no curls but my hair was a sticky gooey mess. Loved the cantu,a superior product by far
been using cantu forever it workrd great on my relaxed hair so im goin to definitely keep using it on my natural hair
I have both, however the Cantu curl activator creme was much better, cheaper. I only needed to use a little bit of product. I paid $2.99 for a small jar. My curls were poppin.

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

You're very pretty. Thanks for the review. I feel the Shea moisture looks more shiny from my view.

GaaSaku123 Same! And my hair got so tangled after a while from the Cantu curly cream.
same thing happened to my hair after using it for 3 months Shea Moisture is the Best to me
Cantu dried out my hair after using it for 2 weeks! Threw it out! Hair started shedding bad...smh!

Were we can found this cantu plz telme
I found SheaMoisture Shampoo and Conditioner for $5.00 each, so I decided to give it a try. Cantu is awesome!
I think both brands did a wonderful performance on your hair, but I l like how Cantu defined your hair especially when wet.
Cantu looks way better! Thanx for the comparison

I've been natural for egos. I love the Cantau line. My new male friend insist on me twisting and braiding his hair. I'm definitely 4C. He's between 3B-3Cish. Cantau has a Men's line we're about to explore 😜 💯
have to go with the Shea Moisture if only to support Black owned businesses
Kathryn Smith that's what I was going to say.
Kathryn Smith I love supporting black owned businesses. But, if something doesn't work for me I'm not going to buy it just because it's a black owned business.
Ayesha King your point is moot since the young lady said both products did work on her hair...
Kathryn Smith read what she said. Both products work on "her" head. 'Her' being the operative word. Kind of makes your comment moot.
Kathryn Smith or if only to support your damn hair which is more important
Just ordered the SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Shampoo and Conditioner to try it. I also use Cantu Argan Oil Leave in Conditioner and the Cantu Kids Detangling Spray for my hair. Can't wait to see my results with the SheaMoisture Products.
Your hair is gorgeous. Thanks for this review.
Can you update you result here 🥺
@@beamboba I didn't like the coconut hibiscus on my hair. However the Coconut Hydrating Shea Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner worked better on my hair. It moisturized my hair beautifully.
Shea moisture ❤. I honestly love Shea moisture more but I do like them both. I just use some type of coconut spray from Cantu. 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 :)
Thanks for the input :)
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. Even though the curl pattern is decent after the twist out and it's creamier, I rather use the smoothie. Then again, I thought about using that Cantu as well to see since it's cheaper lol. Beautiful hair though!
Cantu is so addictive, its also within my budget, and it makes my hair more fuzzy, soft and more neutral :-D
I have used Shea Moisture products & Cantu Products. Shea moisture makes my curls more soft, bouncy, and moisturize. Cantu, pop my curls more, but not as bouncy & volume but I love both products also I love to use it with Jamacian Black Castor Oil 100% they have my curls shining I only use a small amount because the oil is thick. If, I put too much in my hair my curls would be weighed down & limp so a little goes a long way!!😍
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 only count up to eighth ingredient sooo it's a winner in my book... we are not going to even compare the price! loved the video! New subie!
+amber kent That explains it all. lol. Thanks for the comment.
I have usedy cantu's growth strengthen cream before and just purchase the Shea moisture deep treatment masque. And I love it. I have Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie. I like that it works best when the hair is real wet. And yes it does leave the hair a bit dry.
Thank you, I was actually wondering which one works best and your video answered my question
Every since I have been natural, 7 years now I have used all Cantu products. I love this video great choice!
Thanks! I love Cantu as well
I'm a Cantu girl with Eco products. Even wash and go comes out great.
Cantu has petrolatum . I said it out loud and my hair heard!! So now it refuses to stay moisturized with the cantu in it!!
+Ebony Painter LOL thats amusing
+Ebony Painter damn you ruined Cantu for me lol. I'll stick w Shea Moisture
+realtotherealest are those good or bad for your hair?
+realtotherealest ah okay. Thanks, I'll give it a better read
The Natural range products don't! The product mentioned in this video doesn't contain Petroleum :)
cantu😘side
I know people in the comments are going back and forth about which one is better and what ingredients such and such as but everything does not work the same way for everyone and the Cantu is what I use to moisturize my hair after I wash it and as a styling aid and it's the only thing that keeps my hair continuously hydrated as well as my son. I have that really low porosity tightly curled afro hair!!!
I am actually a cantu fan. I so love the product because it work well for me let remember the fact that It works for me doesn't me it must work for u ok. So i have dry hair and was suffering hair breakage and I started using cantu and it actually works it keeps my hair shinny, bouncy and growing.
Yes the battle of products was awesome. Never seems it done before. Please keep them coming. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for sharing. 😍🤩❤❤❤❤❤
I. Have all Cantu products except the curling cream activator.. Haven't master the defined curls I want. I heard you said you used less of Cantu for more currier look. I'll wash and attempt this tomorrow
I used the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter LINE: Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner & Mask. By the end, I looked in the mirror and had a 'BRILLO PAD' sitting on my head! 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!
Cantu all the way! What's the name of the music?
the whole cantu line dries tf outta my hair idk why
I get lost in her eyes. they're so mesmerizing.
I love Shea Moisture, but I wanted to try Cantu because of the price difference. Thanks for the review! I'm going to give Cantu a try.
+Rose Originals YaY! No problem :)
I mixed them both and added my favorite oils. My hair loses definition in the middle after a day or so cause i sweat in the head. But i like both.
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
So glad you found a product your hair loves :)
NaturallyComplex thanks!
For some reason, my twist-outs never seem to form a curl, probably because I'm not using a CURLING cream/leave-in. I will definitely be trying one or both of these products!
It's crazy I was just about to search cantu vs shea moisture in the search bar but this video happened to be in my suggestion box. Thank you for making this video. Just what I needed
+Already Taken Yay! So glad it helped :)
I find cantu, to be very oily and it makes my hair unmanageable
Aww. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. What do you use on your hair?
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.
Yes, what works for me might not work for others! You just have to try things out. Thanks for your comment :)
Love this video, last week I started to use natural products, I have used this Shea moisture product but on my hair it feels heavy and sticky. Today I purchased quite a few Cantus natural line products and I really like it, also they are very affordable.
I've decided to go heat free for the rest of the year (at least) and have been dying to know whether or not I should go for cantu or Shea moisture for when I try a twist out and this has consolidated my choice! Cantu it is!! The cantu side looked nicer in my opinion and the Shea moisture prices were definitely putting me off lol thank you so much for sharing this!
+Loretta Rose Yay! You can do it :)
Shea Moisture side looks more moisturized
Nope. It was the opposite.
Dercey... I agree with u.
The cantu side is noticeably more moisturized. You can tell by how much more shrinkage she got on that side.
Jamie
gigglyfitzgirl Lol girl you are everywhere. I just came from watching the real and Traeh and now I see you here. Lol I guess Ill see you next week for the real uploads.
Exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!
+Alexis Evans-Morris Thanks for watching :)
Beautiful results! I too prefer the Cantu! For all the reasons you mentioned, Once I did buy the Shea moisture at a beauty supply store cost $16.99 😫highway robbery, but if Shea moisture is your favorite you can order on amazon for a little over $8
I wish they could give samples of products like the past did
on my husbands acct...LOL any who...I want to say thank you for this. As of today I purchased Shea Moisture products. I have been using Cantu and I notice my hair is super duper curly as if I were a baby, however I wanted to see if there is a difference. You video shed some light on my curious mind of the two products. I will try what I purchased today and see which does my hair the Better Good. Thank you, Ericka
ps: My husband is always telling me if you don't know You Tube it...Glad I did. Just went natural at 45 yrs young this summer and I am loving it. Again thank you for sharing and having the battle of the brands.
That's so awesome!! Glad you're going natural. I'll be making more battle of the brands soon!!
I am a Cantu woman although my hair naturally curly, I use the coconut curl cream for moisture...
Im a guy and I loved Cantu' at first. It made my curls look awesome and loopy, it maintained my curls all day, it prevented frizz....BUT shit caused me to have SERIOUS hives after maybe like 2 months of using it. Like I broke out in hives all over my body. At first I thought it was medications I was on (which didnt make sense). I also thought maybe it was some fragrances I was using. I stopped using everything (except the Cantu because I thought it was all natural). I even went to my doctor because I thought I was having an autoimmune problem and even took Prednisone (steroid) and antihistamines like crazy. Come a week ago, when a fb friend was complaining about Cantu' and how it made their hair super dry, I noticed my hair also being super brittle. Then, it hit me! My hives had to have been coming from the Cantu since it was the only thing I didnt stop using. I even saw some RUclipsrs complaining about also getting hives from Cantu. Guess what! After one week of not using it, my hives have been coming less and less. Sadly, I think it's going to take a few weeks for the itching to stop all together. But dont go the cheap route! It has a lot of toxic ingredients.
it's becos of your brands battle that I started using Cantu coconut curling cream and I love. like Shea Moisture, don't get me wrong. but everything you said was on point, cheaper, use less product, shinier, soft and smells amazing. Thanks so much.
YAY!!! Glad you love it :)
I recently used the Cantu Shine Custard and it's my new #1 styling product. My hair is so shiny and my curls are defined and shiny a whole week!!. When I use the Shea Moisture Curly Cream, I have to wash my hair more often and add more product as days go by, and it doesn't make my hair as shiny as any Cantu products do. Around me Shea Moisture Curly Cream is $14.00!!
That sounds like a win to me! lol
Great video!! I could tell that the Cantu was doing a better job as you were applying it as the curls were really popping out. Also, after the twist out there was less frizz in the back on the on the Cantu side. Thanks for doing a price comparison. I was using the Shea Moisture on my hair but I will have to go out and purchase the Cantu to try on my hair. Thanks again!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Cantu brought my curls back! My hair was dried and damage and straight wouldn't curl at all I start using cantu curling products and my hair is back curly:) I do use shea moisture the Jamaican castor moisturizer works well also
Good for you girl!! :)
Very good video, i watched the video to make up my mind to know what curling product to buy and i am glad i did. Thanks for sharing. Great job, your hair looks great and definitely the Cantu won.
I like both but my hair doesn't like shea moisture for some reason
I use both whenever. However Ross, Marshalls, and sometimes Tjmaxx sell Shea moisture for 6.99... I get it for a steal...lol But they have an oil I use first the the conditioner or the CES
+J. Taj Parrotte I heard that they be at those places on sale, so I have to check it out. Thanks!
I love how you're hair turned out. I do think the Shea moisture turned out better. But I do prefer the softer with some fluff look
Yay! Me too :)
I prefer cantu budget wise, results wise, and even the smell. I brought maybe two different shea moisture products and it didn't take long for me to learn they are NOT for me:) Cantu products are lifeeeeeee try their curl activation curl, it is a dull hair life saver! Also, allthatmane or allaboutthemane I forgot the exact mane but their multivitamin products are great as well. Thanks for the video girly!
Cantu all the way.
I have use the cantu my hair was fine no build up tonight I am trying the Shea moisture one tomorrow I will know the result it’s my first time I it for a twist out with Shea moisture
This was very informative and helpful, so glad I found this video! Thank you! I got both also I haven't tried the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie yet tho, hopefully I'll like, if not its going right back to Rite Aid! lol
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The curl enhancing smoothie is great.. You'll love it!
Ur hair looks good! I love all Cantu products except the conditioner. It doesn't have enough slip.
Thank You!
my hait likes the shea moisture but it also likes the cantu define and shine custard I actually use them together
I have both of these, but always find myself going for the cantu.😊 I love LOVE💖 Shea moisture products though😘😘😍😍!!
+Star Starr Me too! I love them both :)
