          | I'm really confused about what's good for my hair and what's not. I'm trying to get away from mineral oil but I didn't do good, so at the end of the week (saturday) I plan to clarify, condition, and get a leave in. And That's all...strictly shea butter, and maybe it may work for me (I AM PRAYING!) So now for my question, has anyone ever tried Cantu Products?? I saw them at walmart and I am really anxious to try! I know I'm cheap when it comes to products, so I think a more expensive line would do me some justice. Plus Cantu's products have NO petrolum/ cheap stuff. There website is:  http://www.cantusheasoft.com/ - http://www.cantusheasoft.com/ . Has anyone used there products and liked them or hate them?

          | Yes I have b/c I heard so many good reviews on this board and it works really well with my hair. I use the grow strong and I also have the oil sheen I use it when I do the baggie method |

          | So far I have only used Cantu shea butter leave in conditioning repair cream and I love it. I also used it on a clients hair since her hair was very rough, stiff, and dry and her hair did a total 360 to being soft and manageable...and she could NOT believe it...LOL So I say try it, thats what I did and now I'm hooked  . HTH

          | I love the Cantu Grow Strong strengthening treatment.  It made my hair so soft.  I would buy that one again.  I didn't really care for the shampoo though.  It seemed a little drying.

          | Thank you Want2Kno <3  Do these products stop (or minimize) breakage and how do I use the Grow Strong Treatment?? Like do I keep it in along with the leave-in conditoner or does it need to be treated as if it's a deep conditioner?

          | I never used it as a deep conditioner. On the jar it says daily leave in treatment I use it whenever my hair gets dry |
