- So I recently tried the Cantu rebrand...
HERE ARE THE PRODUCTS: amzn.to/3AGLnJ8
All in all, I loved every single product? The shampoo, conditioner, curl activator and custard have been my go-to for the past month! Super easy to use, and the longevity here is low key smoking just about any other wash and gos using stylers already in my stash.
The only downsides are that it's really easy to overuse and end up with excess product that could flake in the long run. So if you're trying this out, definitely keep that in mind.
What do y'all think. Let me know down below!

I’ve done Cantu since I started my natural hair years ago, never knew about all this drama, controversies surrounding it. When will the natural hair community fully comprehend that everyone’s hair reacts differently? Cause my hair’s been thriving.
I didn’t use it because it didn’t work for me, but I am just now learning about these controversies and dramas in 2024 … I learned what I needed to do for my hair and got out the game and just focused on me. I always thought that was the point of going natural, to be free to do what you want and not letting anyone, even other naturals, dictate what you do to your body 🤷🏽♀️
I happen to like Cantu 🤷🏽♀️ I started off with the leave in conditioning repair cream when I first went natural in 2009. Years later, my hair loves the curling cream & the curl activator cream. Hey if a product works for you, use it and forget what others say 😉💜 Your hair looks amazing Will 😍
I love Cantu as well. I’ve tried some of the more expensive products and had disappointing results. All the products Will used are what I use and, though my hair is much shorter, my curls are always on point. Lol!
@@teryckcoles I know exactly what you mean about those expensive products being disappointing. I’m sure your curls look amazing as well!
Same. Those are the exact same products that my hair loves as well. Always left my wash n gos defined shiny and soft. Especially if I was using a tiny bit of olive oil eco styler on top to seal everything in. My wash n gos would last almost 2 weeks every time
Bad bad 🏃 🏃 🏃
My hair loves those 2 products as well. Makes my twist outs pop.
I had a list of products I've used since 2013. Cantu was one of the first lines. I and had to knock most products off recently because I realized that my curly hair is fine and low porosity and my hair gets build up really easily so anything with shea butter is a no. No oils or butters in the top five ingredients. People automatically think curly mean coarse and I went along with that for so long. Now treating my hair like it's fine has done wonders.
Great you understand your hair
"Trust, you will be dealt with- Period!" took me OUT!!!
I’ve always loved Cantù.The natural community raved about Shea Moisture but my hair hated it. I use what works for me
I love a good squeak on my hair when I’m done shampooing too, for me if it ain’t squeaky it ain’t clean!
Yassss! I've been using Cantu for years! ❤️ love it... dunno why people don't like it lol just because it's on the cheaper side lol 😆 I'll save my coins and use Cantu.
i guess some don't luje it cuz it doesn't work on them
cause it made my hair fall out
Cantu has been dry past few years , It’s owned by Europeans what you expect. Shea moisture got bought too by Europeans ain’t been the same since 2010-13
As a person who has purchased too many products that rarely work on my thick head of hair, I might give this a go. Gotta see how the bank account feels first though 😥
Getting the shampoo for sure. Looks like it cleansed & moisturized your hair to the Gods. Love the results.
Cantu shea butter leave in conditioner is legendary
Before I loc'd my hair I love Cantu but hated the consequences of the white demonic flakes... Not to mention they changed their leave in forumla up and had me confused. But I'm glad they updated their products I use for my daughter and no complaints yet.
I never really used Cantu besides their leave in conditioner but now that I use the kinky curly leave in I can't bring myself to try other options😂😂😂😂
I remember the mango like smell 😄i was so sad when it did not do well with my hair
I love Cantu have been using it for years however it is not the go-to conditioner during the summer time. Cantu literally will sit on your hair and the moment you get hot you will start sweating like Rick James 😂 mind you a little bit goes a very long way, but yes the curl bounce it gives is 😆EVERYTHIIING!!!😆
Hey Will! I enjoyed your video.!! The Curl Activator Cream combined with the Curl Whip gives me great results. I diffuse it instead of air drying.
I'm back... it's been a while since I watched you channel. I think it was during covid when you were moving to you new home... I work from home now so I have plenty of time to catch up and enjoy your content😊😊. Always a pleasure to watch you ☺️
the "whip whip" edit took me all the way out. like all the way.
Ooh I'm glad you did this because everytime I pass these products I want to try but I don't want to waste money 😂 but you gave me a lil push to gon and try them out.
NGL, that Cantu cowash is amazing!! When I use it, I put no other products in my hair and it looks amazing! I am never getting vacation braids again...I will just being that Cantu cowash
I still use Cantù leave in on a regular and I used to love custards when I first cut all my hair off and it worked great for my TWA.
But I stopped using the custard for some reason. Now you got me wanting to try it again now
I LAUGH so much with your videos ! I love it and I love you !
Clapping. Love Cantu products. I use the shampoo and leave in conditioner only.
Cantu used to dry my hair out like crazyyy that’s why I stopped using it entirely for years. Just bought the travel sized products for the gym and I was SUPERRR surprised by the results.
I don't have patience for products like Cantu. Cantu just sits on top of my head. It smells great though.
8:14 ok, come through VOICE!! You sing really well 🤩🤩🤩
8am Sunday. Going to target rn, you got excited to wash and do my wash and go :*D
- I might have to give Cantu another SHOT, cause last time I used their products it made my hair DRY asf
This is why I don't use the entire product line...just the moisturizer and curling cream
I bought the curl activator moisturiser. My hair has white residue all day. I wasted my money and hate it
try that flaxseed cream gel....I was not ready for the slip and curl hold.
The Leave in repair cream had dried out my hair but I tried Cantu out again a few months ago and I like the avocado curl activator cream. I work at a beauty supply and I suggested the avocado line to an older lady new in her hair journey and she comes back from time to time and tells me how well it’s working for her
That shampoo is different. And I’m here for it
I'm been using cantu since 2012 when I found it while working at family dollars
Moisturizer is watery as heck. My hair was so dry and crunchy. I had to find some CON.
Cantu does wonders for my hair . I love Cantu
Never been a fan of cantu as I have fine hair and always found it too heavy but I recently picked up that mousse of theirs and used it for a wash and go. Let me tell you am on my second week of the same wash and go and coils are still moisturised and bouncy. That mousse is great stuff
THESE EDITS >>>>> ⚰️
cantu works great for me.. my hair loves it and my pockets do too lol
Here for the memes and voice clips~ 🤌🏽💕
recently moved to arizona, just for the chance to find you gorrlll. 👀😃
It made my curly coily hair straight..no lie about a year ago not perm Straight but it took my curl pattern out
You always have me cracking up every video 🤣
What I've been wanting to know is how in the world do you find all the peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerfect edits/memes for your vids. I mean perfection!
wait... why do you use conditioner before shampooing? Isnt it supposed to be the opposite ? Im confused '---'
For me, conditioner helps to detangle before I shampoo. Shampooing on tangled hair always causes more tangles.
My routine is: condition (to detangle), shampoo, condition again (usually with a deep conditioner or hair masque), moisturize with a leave-in/curl cream, and then style with a styler (gel, mousse, custard etc)
@@WillOnAWhim ohhh thank you
Hey will I have a question for you, just because I see you change locations often and was wondering if you take into consideration about hard or soft water? It’s something I haven’t looked into much but I hear that hair hates hard water because of the pollution in the water. Do you focus on the type of water for your hair? And have you seen a difference with any of your moves
I thoroughly enjoyed this video ❤
Needed this video😂 like I used it years ago but stopped
Will you have THE BEST memes and sounds like dlskjsdkfjk 🤣🤣 I'm still skeptical that Canto *can do* anything for me. 🤷🏾♀
Did he condition his hair then turn around and shampoo it?
Give me your meme folder!!!! 😂😂😂😂
It made my hair white and ashy when I used to use it
Cantu has always been bunko for I and my children.
Wait so you do conditioner before shampoo? 🤔
I don't buy Cantu all too often as I think I've locked in my very, very minimal regimen which has been good for me if I'd just stick to it, lol. But I have nothing against them. Made me kind of sad to hear the hate against them, but I don't want to invalidate anyone's experiences with them.
People hate on what they don't understand.. Its not Cantu it's their hair type
I’ve been using Cantu since 5th grade lmao I’ve had no complaints
The Acai activator works great on my hair.
For me, Cantù works for . A lot doesn’t. The define and shine custard and leave in conditioner is so good.
Ok I gotta go pick up that custard creme😍
If your hair is nappy it’s not for you. It’s for beautiful mixed hair.
I can’t believe I’m discovering you tewday 🫣 I am weakkkkkkk 😂
My hair only responds to products that empty my bank account. But I’ve tried two or three Cantù things, and my review is that I’ve tried far worse stuff, and it smells good. Don’t understand why people hate it so much. BUT maybe it works better for European hair or what to call it. Which is kind of a fail for this brand.
Lol no because TGIN changed my life.
Cantu is owned by Europeans so it makes sense it's not for us.
it's because cantù changed their recipe and it started damaging peoples hair
I agree with you completely about my hair and I’ve used every single product that has ever come out from Cantú. My hair does not like Cantu products and their products do nothing for my hair whatsoever. I’ve even gone to professionals to get my hair washed and styled with Cantu products. As well as speaking to a dermatologist, they told me that there ingredients & formula used to make Cantu products my hair just doesn’t agree with.
I like cantu if I don’t have the money but need hair product I buy Cantù. I feel like it’s also just depends on the person. Not every product is going to work for everyone’s hair.
They better run you a sponsorship. You made me actually wanna try Cantu! The results look really good!
I have the product is Really...Really good. I have the Shampo and Conditioner, The Comeback Curl Activator and Hair style cream. ❤❤❤
Yes hunny because I was waiting on the disappointment 😂
@@moniquegreen9567 I REALLY have to try it now! Thanks for the review!
@@misshale98 RIGHT? 🤣
Period!!
i’ve stopped listening to the natural community once i realized how toxic & judgemental it is. it might be the same pattern/ type, but everyone’s hair is different and reacts differently to certain products. the gworls that stayed with cantu got RIPPED APART chile, it was bad 😂 but im glad they revised their formula because the end result looked amazinggg
Well said...curling cream and moisturiser works for me
I told people that if they don’t like Cantu, just use Pantene Gold series with Mixed Chicks. I told them tips like L’Oréal tea tree pre shampoo then use Pantene gold series hair shots on dry hair after co wash then keratin and Aragon oil. Twists, pin curls and cool blow dry or diffuser before bed is good for natural hair but the Natural hair community wouldn’t listen. Then they want to wonder why their hair stay falling out and why they are nappy head 🤷♀️
@@semoneg2826 omg that and she’s moisture curl enhance smoothie. I have tried expensive brands and black owned brands and nothing…but Cantu works wonders in my hair and my budget 😊
@@melloniedenise6448 Yes not all products work for everyone because of hair type so we have to keep looking for what work for us...
@@YunikuYosefMomoka I read "nappy headed" and imediately disregarded everything you wrote, sis
I avoided Cantu for the longest time because everyone seemed to hate it. My hair ended up loving it.
Thank you not all hair type is the same ..I listen to no one I listen to my hair
I use cantu till now
@@margaretmuiruri1901 I use the curling cream and the moisturizer
I did the same thing, now it’s my go to brand..
I’m a guy with 4c hair and it works fr
I can't do Cantu, but maybe my son can. I'm trying to train him to take care of his hair and personal hygiene, and Cantu is affordable enough that I can just set him up to help him build good habits.
Cantu was one of my first products when I was younger. It's super easy to use because it's not too thick. Def give it a try.
I love the fact that its water base.....
I have no dog in this fight about if Cantu can still do... but the humorous edits in a Will on a Whim video is ALWAYS WORTH THE VIEW and Cantu benefits from his attention in my book. Thanks for the laughs Will.
That bounce was sending me 😭😭😭😭😭You're the best Will! Thx for the daily laughs. But wow that outcome was surprising, might have to try a lil sumnn
They damaged my hair the first time after using them consistently for about a year and I’m too scared to trust them again. 😭 Started out strong and slowly started getting worse over time.
Right! My hair hates it now and so does all my kid's hair. It's a no from me. Different things work for different people, I guess.
Same! My hair changed as well! I don’t trust them!
I used it years ago... It worked and then it stopped. My hair was dry and broke off. Never again! I only use oil and water.
Girl my hair was so damn draaahhhh
I stood by the argan oil leave in conditioner for YEARS and now it just makes my hair feel dead 😔
Cantu made my hair fall out. It was so drying and my scalp was so flakey it was horrible, I will never try it again. 😭
exactly like fine if it works for other people but i ain''t going there no more
Same. At first it was EVERYTHING. Then the formula changed.... and my hair walked out. Never again 🤷🏽♀️
I guess it depends on your hair texture, because mine stays moisturized, even the next day.
@@obsidianbeau4087 yeah you could be right. My hair is 4c and it doesn’t agree with Cantù at all. Especially the leave-in conditioner.
Same. Cantu is nothing but water with pigment and scent. It did nothing for my hair.
For me cantu was nice for a while but i actually have experienced the drying after prolonged use for years. We all know that 4C hair cant be that dry all the time so it didn't end well for my hair and I think it being in the cheaper side does say something about what you're getting. I dont think i'll ever use it again but I dont deny it could be good for someone lol maybe if you have oily hair.
Its because of of your hair type ...its loaded with protein and you use it consistently for years that the problem right their..I always mix my products never use and entire product line expect or the first time
I’m so over some people saying something doesn’t work for black or coily hair/ it’s only for waves and straight hair. Everyone’s hair is different. Just because something doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean other people can’t enjoy it. I especially hate when someone says they use Cantu and someone else replies with “ it WILL damage your hair overtime”. I don’t even use Cantu often, but that gets annoying.
No fr and they always use the build up as a reason 💀 clarifying shampoos exist- Cantu builds up easily but I use a clarifying shampoo when I need it and my hair is great, I’ve used Cantu for a while now
I will never cancel Cantu … me and my curls love me some Cantu.. that activator is my holy grail ♥️♥️ “ there was no cosmetic chemist in the conversation “ 😂🤣😂 that part… thanks will for sharing
I love it for my daughter's hair!
I started using the coconut curling cream and omg my hair has never felt so great, as a black girl with extremely thick 3c hair, it definitely hydrated my curls❤❤❤❤ Cantu coconut curling cream I will keep using 😊
@@analisekittles3283 In love with the curling cream
Love it. Keep my hair soft and defined.
the shea butter one the avocado one okease i have 3c thinj hair as tlurs can you name all products that have worked for you
I have NEVER had a problem with Cantu. It works for my hair.
Your results 💣
The editing is always top tier 😂 and these memes.
Your skin is beautiful
People call me childish but I have been natural for almost 10 years and all I use is Cantu. I am one month in my loc journey. My first wash is 9/3 and guess what I’m using. Cantu avocado shampoo. Love this stuff.
Can’t lie, Cantù comeback spray held me DOWN in college! They’re products so reasonably priced.
My hair don't like Cantu so I won't buy it. Mama embarrassed me! Drying out my hair and shiii, they had this gel and Chile it look like I had huge dandruff in my hair and I didn't put alot. My curls didn't work well with the curl definer. Chile embarrassing.
i can't lmao this comment has me ROLLING...but I get it. Everything don't work for everybody
The way the natural hair community just came for cantu and it ruined it's reputation 🤦🏾♀️ no one buys cantu no more because of everything they've heard about it but if u actually give the new line a shot it genuinely works. My local beauty supply stores be selling cantu as cheap as £2.99 and that's the shampoo and conditioner because literally no one buys cantu anymore
I just bought the shampoo and conditioner and paid full price in Canada. I like it😅
Dang now I wanna try it. I got the avocado leave in to try out.
just did my hair with the deep treatment masque in that line
edit: i got it bc the bottle was pretty lol
How was it? I love their protein mask. I get so much slip and moisture with it.
The bottles are def cute!
@@Palehotdog it was tew gud... lets get the bill , purrr
but in all honesty its really thicc .. you don't need a lot to lather the section and lowkey made me curls pop was lowkey thinking about using it as a leave in in conjuction with a regular conditioner
Pretty and or fun bottles is what sucks me in to buy drugstore haircare sometimes too. Lol
Great review!
I be so scared with custards just because they flake on my hair without gel but your results were impressive and bouncy! I love the new packaging but imma go with No on Cantu😂 This is definitely a “Imma let my content creators use it and enjoy their experience”moment🤣
I’m a European, with Turkish roots, living in Germany, finding hair products that cater to textured hair is a real struggle over here. It’s been just a couple of years since we’ve had some options for curls, and one brand that we have now is Cantù. Even hairdressers don’t have a clue about how to handle and style curly hair properly. I can vividly remember the endless battle I had as a child, trying to comb through my frizzy, dry hair, with conditioners that felt like plain water. for us Europeans with a migrational background, Cantù is a huge step up.
i’ve been using the curl activator for a year or 2 now and it’s literally the ONLY product i need & buy besides wetline & edge control. I have SUPER thick hair with several curl patterns throughout my head and this is the only thing that i love. no more product junkie natural hair tendencies for me.
You gone be tight when you get protein overload 😭
@@SlavyyD was that supposed to be helpful too or just annoying?
Same I been using it for a year now and it’s the only thing that has made my natural curls pop pop…I also added the next day curls spray and together my curls be feeling themselves 😆
Something about Cantù don’t sit right with my soul. I never trusted it and refuse to make eye contact. Imma stick to Aussie moist
not you refuse to make eye contact 😂
When I came back to natural a decade ago, I tried various products. Cantu driiiiiiiied TF outta my hair. Your hair came out absolutely GORGEOUS though! Almost makes me wanna give Cantu another shot. But my hair is scared and traumatized, lol.
i'm being Silly Rabbit Captain Obvious, but I wish we could just acknowledge that different hair is gonna favor different products. i look like a poster child for the natural hair community™, but I never liked the 0-100 tendency to be like "this stuff is NOT for us" to "this is IT, everyone should use it" lol
idk my hair's always reacted well to certain Cantu products, but ofc other people aren't suddenly lying if they had a bad experience. likewise, that time i tried a line everybody was hyping up and i was flake city, never again 💀💀 but it worked for somebody!
I don’t listen to anyone but my hair. If it works, I keep it. If it doesn’t, I leave it. Once I learned how to take care of my own hair I stopped tuning in to what everyone else was doing and using and saying. That’s why I be so confused why everyone keeps letting other people’s opinions on things that probably have no scientific backing make them so frustrated. I cut my hair to the scalp and it grew back longer than it’s ever been by doing the methods I created for my unique head of hair. The proof is in the growth. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing. Be an individual.
True
Their detangling spray (though the spray bottle could be better) and curl revitalizer are a godsend for me.
I'lllll be the 4C judge of that. Cus Cantu stay doing me and my 4c girls wrong lol!
yes 4C judge lmao
I literally have 4c hair and use their products lol
Some things work for some people. Cantu has always been trash for me so I stayed away from them. Product's are very hit or miss for me. Like I use the JBCO Shea Moisture shampoo but I have to use a different SM conditioner. Lol it's a process.
a whole process...literally a second job lmao
I liked the deep conditioning masque in the packet honey because I wasn’t going to try just to waste. The other product was the whipped buttercream. I most likely used too much product. The masque works well. The buttercream had my hair desert dry by day three.
Baebeeeee I think Cantù was a right of passage for all naturals who were starting their natural hair journey 🤣🤣🤣 Funds were LOW, we had no idea what we were doing and where to start!! Cantù was like the Auntie welcoming us with open arms like come in in here baby I got you 😂😂😂😂
this comment old but this is the best way ive heard this described
This is what I meant when I asked you to do more natural hair review videos , I love them lol
I can't with Cantu because fragrance is way too high up the ingredient list! In the long term, that will damage drier hair textures
Ok thanks didn't know this
Will your skin looks amazing!!! Are you still using Curology?
yup!
Nah, I won't ever in my life use Cantu again. But I'm glad some people like it.
Cantu makes my hair feel like butter and the Coconut Curling Cream + Curling Custard combo is so defining and hydrating
Cantu seems to work really well for other people and really bad for others. I have had really bad experiences with some of their products. So I don't really want to risk my hair amymore
Yes it's because of the hair type and porosity
Cantu was the first product to work on my hair when I went natural. I don't know why folks hate on it, but it works for me. Never had a bad experience. Justice with what works.
Forgot to mention your hair looked and looks fabulous!
That curl activator been around, they just got new packaging 😂 it’s pretty though 🤔
i figured haha
