Overview
Braiding, twisting and slicking down edges with this Cantu gel sets protective styles with a firm, lasting hold. Marula oil and aloe vera add non-greasy moisture while it holds.
Firm hold plus moisture in one gel suits braids and twists that need to stay neat. Free-form curls may feel too set and stiff.
Who it's for
Protective styles like braids, weaves, wigs and locs suit a firm gel. People wanting bouncy, movable curls should choose a softer styler.
