Cantu's sulfate-free cleansing cream shampoo has been an absolute game changer for my coarse, wavy hair

If you also have thick, coarse waves and curls, you know the constant battle to find a shampoo that deeply cleanses but doesn't dry out your hair. After trying countless products, I've finally found my holy grail - Cantu's rich, sulfate-free formula.

Specifically developed for type 2 waves, type 3 curls, and type 4 coils, this shampoo has become a staple in my natural hair care routine. Keep reading my review for details on why I love it and how to properly use it for defined, frizz-free waves.

Why Cantu's Shampoo Stands Out
As a popular brand among the curly and wavy hair community, I first tried Cantu after reading a lot of reviews and watched some influencers videos, praising how well it cleanses without stripping oils.

The key promises are 

1. removing buildup while nourishing hair to reduce breakage. 

Checking the ingredients list, the “sulfate-free” label on the front is legitimate. 

2. The formula is free of harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl that can dry out hair over time.

Instead, it contains beneficial oils and butters like shea butter, avocado oil, and mango seed butter. The full ingredients list is big so please read the back of the product before you buy it.

How to Use This Creamy Sulfate-Free Shampoo
  1. Thoroughly wet hair and section it into manageable pieces. Apply a quarter-sized amount focused on the roots.
  2. Gently massage into scalp, working down the length of hair. 
  3. Rinse completely with cool water. Follow with a hydrating conditioner, avoiding the scalp.
Since over-washing can cause frizz and dryness in my coarse waves, I only shampoo once or twice a week.

Where You Can Buy Cantu Sulfate-Free Shampoo
This shampoo retails for around $6-$9 for a 13oz bottle. Numerous large merchants, including WalmartSuperdrug, and Boots UK, carry it.
It is also available online on the Cantu website and on Amazon.
I suggest using a smaller bottle at first to see how your specific hair texture responds.

Why It's My Holy Grail for Coarse Waves
My thick, coarse waves are left defined, frizz-free, and unbelievably soft thanks to this rich, creamy shampoo. One 13 oz bottle lasts me months because a little bit of the product goes a long way, making the price well worth it.
It provides a thorough cleanse without making my hair feel stripped or dried out. I love the light, fresh scent too. It makes styling so much easier after washing - my curls hold their wave pattern longer when starting with hair cleaned by this sulfate-free shampoo.

My Final Thoughts
If you also have dry, coarse wavy or curly hair, I can't recommend Cantu's cleansing cream shampoo enough! It's been an absolute game changer for my hair care routine and the best shampoo I've found for defining my texture. I hope my review for this coarse, wavy hair product helps you decide if it could be your new holy grail too!
