Thanks, Michelle,
This Cantu Shea Butter is exactly what I am looking for. I am in the market for something I can use overnight and treat my end tips against the split.
I am too a bit concerned about the ingredient you have also mentioned but I think I will give it a shot.
Thanks 🙂

Yes, nothing beats taking time – even though it might be considered ‘sleep time’ – as long as we take the time, to administer love to our tresses. Leaving Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream overnight just might help you regenerate your ends with consistent use. Please come back and let me know how it worked out for you.

My younger sister recently decided to go ‘natural’. She used to flat iron her hair and add all sort of straightening products. These were taking a toll on the health of her hair and scalp. She decided to just leave her hair in its natural form. The challenge though is that it has become extremely difficult to manage. She has tried a number of different products. I am forwarding this link to her to see if she might be interested. I know she used other shea butter products.
Can you indicate what advantages the Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream has over similar products? For instance, does it have a higher concentration of natural shea butter over its competitors? Just asking.
Cheers

Hello Kevon,
Yes, I find that many women are ‘taking the natural road’ in their hair journey. You can read my Natural Hair Journey (and recommend it to your sister as well, maybe we share a few similarities) as your time permits.
Yes, once you ‘give up the creamy crack and its cousins’, you feel challenged with how to handle your own hair texture. It will take lots of getting used to, but the mountain is surmountable. Tell her to be patient and kind as she embarks on this new journey.
To answer your questions, I think there is a fair amount of shea butter in this product. I supplement it with my homemade whipped shea butter moisturizer as well – I just love the stuff. Of course, there is usually a recommended FDA percentage to be adhered to in the makeup of any product. This can be seen in the label information description. I usually just go with how it makes my hair feel, that way you can ‘feel’ the difference and personally decide if there is ‘enough of the good stuff’ in the product.
I hope I was able to answer the questions sufficiently.
Thanks.
Michelle
