Product Showcase: Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream

This is a reasonably-priced item that I find at Wal-Mart, Wal-Green, CVS, or any dug store; on the "ethnic" hair aisle. I would never use it as a leave-in. When I would spray my hair with water to re-style it, the cream would coagulate in my hair,leaving me with white beads everywhere.One thing I have noticed, is that people with hair textures of 3c and below don't have the "white-bead coagulation" problem. So as a leave-in it is best for women with textures between 2b-3c.

However... I do use it as a deep conditioner. I apply it to damp hair with a processing cap. Then I leave it in overnight or sit 45 minutes under a hooded-dryer.Another reason I like it is because shea butter is at the top of the ingredients list,as it should be.

Heat Protectants During the Summer

I use heat protectant creams during the summer, to protect my hair from the heat and harmful rays of the sun. The particular brand I use makes my hair soft and easy to detangle;its a great sealant.

If you decide to use it , I recommend that you apply it to slightly damp hair, then style. Apply to hair before twisting for great twist-out, or before bantu knoting. The effect will be luscious,poofy hair. I said "poofy", not frizzy.

L'Oreal Studioline Hot Straight can be found at drug store, but I found this one on clearance in my local Albertson's.
