Review: Keeps my curls, reduces frizz on straight hair - Saw this in a YouTube video, and so glad I got it, my first ever curl gel. It's nice and cheap, and works great! I have 2b waves (I think? they vary a lot), and if I let my hair air dry with no product, it's slightly frizzy. I bought this for encouraging natural curls, but I actually even use it if I want straight hair, to reduce frizz. It works great. I use this with a heat protectant curl cream out of the shower. If I want curls, I use a moderate amount and scrunch. If I want light waves, I use less and don't encourage the curl with scrunching or diffusing, can even comb it while damp to encourage straightness. If I think I'll be styling with heat later, I use a little before air drying to reduce frizz. Using this makes my hair much more defined and less frizzy, helps it air dry faster, and keeps it looking great for more days. The only disadvantage is if I go straight, I have to wash my hair sooner due to the amount of product looking oiler after a few days. But I prefer that to frizz and poof. Weirdly, when I encourage my curls with scrunching, my hair doesn't look oily days later even when I used a lot of product. It smells like piña colada, so I hope you like that. Review: Wonderful Overall - Came on time and contents had all safety rappers intact. This is the 1st time I've used Cantu Twist & Lock Curl Gel and for $4.97 I figured I'd try it. I've used nearly all of the higher priced products and many do fine but often leave a residue behind. I've spent $60 and more on several years ago. Then I bought Pantene Curl Pudding and I loved that as it holds well but dries a little crispy. Smells great. This product is easy, not sticky. If you finger twist for soft curls or tighter to keep your already natural ringlets more defined because you already have curl to your hair then this is an absolutely great product. When it dried you couldn't tell I'd used it. I was in a truck and my hair blew a little and it didn't plump up and frizz like I expected for not being a more crispy gel once it dried. There was a storm front and also some humidity. The shea butter is key. It gave my hair a beautiful conditioning for added protection. The next day I sprayed my hair a little with Johnson & Johnson Toddler Hair Detangler on about a dz strands on each side of my face due to sweating profusely in the heat to try and calm them down around a small facial area and then I combed the prior days beautiful curls with a smaller pick instead of the larger one that I'd used when my hair was wet. I have hair down to my bra strap therefore, the longer my hair gets then the heavier it gets and then I lose my "chemo" curl as opposed to how it looks when its wet. First use, after the process stated above I'd scrunch and then lightly dried with a blow dryer. I should've used a diffuser but didn't have one. Probably should've let it dry on it's own but I was in a hurry so it might have stayed less plump after the wind. I should've used twice as much product. Instead of putting it throughout my hair and then doing finger curls I used it one section at a time and twisted into curls. The beautiful soft wave and curl that this product enhances for the look I wanted today, used 1st yesterday and combed out today was absolutely beautiful. If I'd wanted the look I got yesterday then all I had to do was re-wet my hair, apply more product and twist again. I used very little so I expect this will last me quite a while and my hair is some what thick. I wouldn't have any worries about it being greasy because it's a very light product. My hair is somewhat dry and needs the conditioning. My hair isn't processed but I would highly recommend this product for processed hair. If you're looking for something with crispier curls in the wind then I swear by Pantene Curl Pudding. Smells beautiful but not over powering. Yet, this product is great for the price especially if you have Prime due to free and fast shipping. ## Features - TURN FRIZZ INTO TWISTS: soothes silky & shiny curls perfectly for twists, braid outs, and loc styles - AWARD-WINNING TEXTURE: creamy gel formula made from pure shea butter soothes, de-frizzes & moisturizes strands - GREAT FOR: Type 3 Curls, Type 4 coils, and Locs - NO HARSH INGREDIENTS: no mineral oil, sulfates, parabens, silicones, phthalates, gluten, paraffin or propylene - CRUELTY-FREE: absolutely no testing on animals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01LTIAU8I | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,153 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #118 in Hair Styling Gels | | Brand Name | Cantu | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 22,841 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817513010057 | | Hair Type | Frizzy, Curly, Wavy | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Volume | 13 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 13 Ounces | | Liquid Volume | 13 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Dr. Teal's | | Material Type Free | Mineral Oil Free, Sulfate Free, Paraben Free, Silicone Free, Phthalate Free, Gluten Free, Paraffin Free, Propylene Free, Alcohol Free Material Type Free Mineral Oil Free, Sulfate Free, Paraben Free, Silicone Free, Phthalate Free, Gluten Free, Paraffin Free, Propylene Free, Alcohol Free See more | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Breakage Control | | Scent | Coconut | | Scent Name | Coconut | | UPC | 810006945959 817513010057 | | Unit Count | 13.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Hair Type:** Frizzy, Curly, Wavy - **Liquid Volume:** 13 Fluid Ounces - **Product Benefits:** Breakage Control - **Scent:** Coconut ## Images ![Shea Butter For Natural Hair Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel, 13 Ounce (Pack of 1) (07005-12/3EU) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iOLKmPfkL.jpg) ![Shea Butter For Natural Hair Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel, 13 Ounce (Pack of 1) (07005-12/3EU) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HnKKTPAHL.jpg) ![Shea Butter For Natural Hair Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel, 13 Ounce (Pack of 1) (07005-12/3EU) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818O0+odxoL.jpg) ![Shea Butter For Natural Hair Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel, 13 Ounce (Pack of 1) (07005-12/3EU) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OkjDW4pAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it work to control frizz on braids?** A: Yes **Q: Would this work on straight caucasian hair?** A: I use this on my fine 2c Caucasian hair and absolutely love the product line! So yes, at least it works very well for me! **Q: Caucasian hair, thick, super dry and frizzy. twisting daughters hair to lock in moisture. will this work? will it look oily? i'm so lost.** A: I bought this to use on my 5 year old locs. African American, very kinky/tightly curled hair. This product is more of a gel consistency but in my opinion didn’t provide very much “moisture” or locking in of moisture because his hair is so dry. So I added vitamin e oil to his roots and end of his hair. It makes it much more softer, easier to twist and didn’t have a bad mix reaction with the Cantu. Hope this helps! **Q: Este producto tiene algun olir** A: Tiene un olor muy suave y tenue.

Smells like pina colada *by Z***H on January 7, 2021* I have long unkept wavy hair with lots of frizz. I use this medium to lightly on my roots and comb it out. It helps keep down the frizzy fly aways really well. Iv also used it in my still slightly wet hair. The less you can use the better. It goes a really long ways especially in damp or wet hair and it dries kind of hard and makes your hair look dirty and wet if you use to much. The smell is like pina colada which is a huge turn off for me. The smell seems to go away once it dries. I absolutely hate pina colada but this gel makes my hair look nice so i deal. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cantu Moisturizing Twist & Lock Gel with Shea Butter for Natural Hair, 13 oz - Cantu Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream with Shea Butter for Natural Hair, 12 fl oz - Cantu Shampoo & Conditioner with Shea Butter for Natural Hair, 13.5 fl oz (Pack of 2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/40431135-shea-butter-for-natural-hair-moisturizing-twist-and-lock-gel](https://www.desertcart.us/products/40431135-shea-butter-for-natural-hair-moisturizing-twist-and-lock-gel) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
