Foams and mousses are generally quite lightweight and work well on most hair types. However, because their main purpose is to add volume, I find that I need to add a curl definer, like a gel, on top. Gels are well-suited to all hair types, but due to the different consistencies available, some may provide you with better results than others. The results you get with gels are also very much down to application techniques. I find that most gels work for my hair, but gels that contain lots of oils (the closer to the top of the ingredients list, the higher the concentration), can weigh my hair down and leave me with looser curls. The best gels for me are those that contain protein, like Bounce Curl Light Creme Gel. If you have wavy hair, you can use Cantu custard to help define your waves. Start by applying the custard to damp hair and then use a diffuser to dry your hair. You can also use a curling iron to create loose waves.

It is designed to help define and hold curls, while also providing moisture and shine. To use the Cantu Shea Butter Curling Custard, start with clean, damp hair.

Once applied, style your hair as usual. The Cantu Shea Butter Curling Custard can be used on wet or dry hair.

Gently cleanse your scalp when wearing braids or locs by applying the hair bath directly to the scalp, massage into the hair and use a spray bottle to remove the suds. Pat dry with a towel once all the cleanser has been removed to avoid frizzing of braids while removing dandruff and relieving itching. Cantu Protective Styles Hair Bath cleanses and nourishes hair strands and relieves itchy, irritated scalp. Formulated with apple cider vinegar, this cleansing shampoo provides moisture to hair while also removing harsh chemicals from strands. Leave-in conditioner is - you got it - a conditioner that you don’t wash out. While, essentially, you could leave a small amount of your regular conditioner in (I do this sometimes), leave-in conditioners are specially formulated to keep curls hydrated and conditioned between wash days. Like curl creams, leave-ins add moisture to the hair but have a much lighter consistency. They are great for adding moisture to fine hair without weighing it down. A lot of creams contain ingredients like shea butter, which can weigh some hair types down. Always start with a small amount and add more as needed. For my fine density hair, I find that adding around two pea-sized pieces provides the right amount of moisture to my hair, without weighing it down. Less is more, especially when using heavier creams.
