Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair Extra Hold Edge Stay Gel - 64g

Start with a pea-sized amount and apply more as needed. A little goes a long way, and using too much can lead to buildup and stiffness.

This gel is specifically formulated for natural hair. While it may work for some other hair types, it is designed to cater to the needs of natural hair textures.

Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo to effectively remove the gel and any product buildup. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner.

The product is formulated without harsh ingredients, including mineral oil and silicones, but please check the ingredient list if you have specific sensitivities.

While the gel is effective, daily use may lead to product buildup. It's recommended to use it as needed and to regularly cleanse your hair.

The product's gentle formula makes it safe for color-treated hair. However, it's always best to perform a strand test if you have any concerns.

Check the product packaging for the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol, which indicates how long the product is good for after opening.

Ensure that the hair is clean and that the gel is applied evenly. Use a small amount, and consider layering if necessary. A fine-tooth comb or brush can assist in smoothing and laying the edges.

You may have applied too much product. Reduce the amount used and ensure the gel dries completely before touching the hair. If flaking continues, try using a different product or reducing the frequency of use.

Reduce the amount of gel applied. The product provides a strong hold, so only a small amount is required. Consider using a moisturizing leave-in conditioner before applying the gel to soften the hair.
