Positive hair progress though difficult to attain is very feasible with the right hair care technique and great products.
One of such amazing hair care products is Cantu’s Shea butter grow strong strengthening treatment. It is going to be a delight spilling on this one, just grab your pop corn and relax while I give you the juicy details.
Appearance
Cantu shea butter grow strong treatment, comes in a sleek, new, cylindrical container which is transparent with white hues and an orange cover.
It also has orange prints in varying fonts to tell all you need to know about the product. With a net weight of 6 oz/173 g I feel like this product is quite affordable for the amount it was purchased { $6 USD}
The sleek container opens up to our sweet {almost fruity} scented white product, whose consistency is light but not runny and feels silky to the fingers. What I mean is that this is a light weight cream, formulated with pure shea butter and sweet almond oil to replace vital moisture thereby revealing stronger and healthier shiny hair.
Enough with the outlook, let’s get into the important stuff, promises and performance!
Product promises
This product right from its name promises to give your hair strands a treatment that would help it grow and blossom.
To be specific, it is said to strengthen fragile/weak hair and help to minimize hair breakage. It also claims to condition dry/brittle hair and very important, to protect the hair strands against heat and styling damage. It is expected to replace/add to the moisture quotient of your coils.
So many promises right! But does this product meet up to expectations. Let’s find out in the product performance section.
Product performance
For a product to work well for assessment, it has to be used well.
The direction of use for this product says ;
Massage into hair beginning at the roots and work towards the end. For deeper penetration, we are asked to cover with a plastic cap for 30 mins and leave it in.
Finally, they make an important note to tell us that this product can be used by natural girlies, the relaxed ladies and even those who colour and heat style their hair.
Now before I delve into how well the Cantu crew kept to their end of the bargain, I would like to add a quick note on why I purchased this product.
The purchase was unplanned, if I am being honest, I never even knew of the existence of this product prior. I was in search of a good leave in conditioner in my local supermarket when I stumbled on the treatment.
I was sold on the heat protection function. And then, I saw that it could also double as a leave in conditioner. Does it get better than this fam!
Now all I had to do was confirm the authenticity of Cantù’s claims, because sometimes talk is cheap! Did Cantu sugar coat this product ?
I would say a big no to that. I feel like my hair likes this product as it softens in response to it each time i use it. However, the ability to retain moisture alone with this product was slightly deficient. I also noticed less breakage/split ends of my tight kinky coils while in use, though not 100 percent but significant enough. And we all know that less breakage correlates to length retention/growth. It does also double well as a heat protectant, that I can testify to. In totalty, this product delivers with its promises.
Ratings
I would give the Cantu grow strong treatment a well deserved 7. 5 out of 10 for coming through with its major promises.
