The Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel: is very moisturizing. does not flake. Gives good twist and braid-outs. does not leave the hair feeling heavy. is not sticky. requires little product for styling and goes a long way. is fairly inexpensive. Contains no hard ingredients. CONS Depending on your texture, the product may not get a very strong hold. (not for me anyway) Can cause hair to "shrink down" giving the illusion of thinness and thus is best used on wet hair. (has happened to a few people I know. RATING - 3.5/5 Essentially, the product is good and has a great scent but does not give me any results that I crave. I find that I much prefer the Cantu Coconut Curling Creme which I previously reviewed for twisting. For locks, I would need something else with a much stronger hold, but I am sure that this may work for others, just as the Organics Root Stimulator does too.
