CantuProtective Styles by Angela Braiding & Twisting Gel with Marula Oil & Aloe Vera, 8 Ounce

This styling gel (twists & braids) works really well. I was a little worried when I saw that it wasn't actually buy Cantu but carries their brand... But tried it and it works wonderfully! Coming back into the natural hair arena and being at that stage where you're trying various products to accomplish multiple things It can get tiring but I found the Cantu products to work well so thought I'd try this one and I like it. Along with being a good gel for braiding and twisting, has a conditioning effect on the hair. When it comes to edge control it's okay but I find that I have to touch it up during the day at least once, so while I like it for braids and twist, when it comes to edge control I'll use it if I'm in a tight but generally I'll use another product for the edges or I'll keep it with me If it's going to be a long day so that I can do a little touch up on the edges during the day. I like that it does not weigh your hair down and it's not oily but is instead light, has a custard like feel and a little will go a long way.

Very good product for my sons hair. He has long twist and it hold very well. Has a very nice scent and leaves a nice shine to his hair.

I previously used Jamaican and lime wax and it left build up in my locs. Wanted a jam or a gel product with good hold that would not leave any build up or white film on my locs. Just used this gel for the first time to retwist the top half of my hair and I really like it so far! I wouldn’t recommend using a ton of it. Just enough to cover the base of your roots. I’ll come back to update how long this last retwist lasts. The smell isn’t bad but not the best. Also SUPER light weight! Doesn’t feel like I’ve applied anything to my hair.Update… I’ve almost used up this container. It has lasted me months! It has easily become my favorite product to use for retwisting my locs. The hold is amazing! About to place my second order now! This price is unbeatable and the product works wonderfully! Thank you!

This is a great brading gel! My daughter’s hair looked great after a week. I just wish it had a stronger hold when I use it for a slick ponytail.

I'm a hairstylist and this work has a very good hold

I love the thickness it does hold but not too long , and work wonders on braids. Clear color no scent

I need a bigger jar!

I love this braiding gel! My daughter has 4c hair and this was a product I tried and loved it but I haven’t been able to find it in my local stores any more🤷🏽‍♀️. It’s not greasy, it holds, no flaking or white reside. I love it and after trying many different products over the years on her and my hair….trust me this works👩🏽‍🦱🎀💈💇🏽‍♀️✅
