Cantu Shea Butter Tea Tree & Jojoba Hair & Scalp Oil - Nourishing No-Drip Formula

Really nice, used for tender scalp. Not too greasy, nice scent and not hard to use at all. Was weary of other reviewers claiming not to be able to get it out but its really no big deal, esp if you're a poc used to black hair products. Its like coconut oil, at a cold temperature its going to set, at a warmer temp it will liquify :) just place the bottle on your lap as you prep your hair to get it ready. Even holding it in a hand should be enough to get it running. I just wish the bottle were bigger.

I am in receipt of this product for five days now and I have used it twice by inserting my rat-tail comb in the bottle in order to pull some of the product out. So far it seems a good product, it moisturised my graying hair (which of late tends to be on the dry side) and I particularly like the white colour as it will not discolour my gray hair which I want to keep white and silvery. However, the downside is what the majority of reviewers have said, it should have been in a jar and not a bottle with nozzle. On receiving mine I stored it upside down and it’s now five days and the oil had not even moved a fraction.

This isn't really a review of its effectiveness, more a tip to get it dispensed. It's as thick as other reviews say, so to get it out I've stuck a dispensing pump in there which works well. If it gets too thick to even get through the pump, soak in warm water for a bit.

Bought this for my itchy scalp which is due to having eczema. The product worked great at resolving my dry scalp and soothing it too and smells lovely. Sadly it loses stars on a) packaging (which I'll get to) and b) in the description it says "Great for use on hair extensions" but this is something I strongly urge you NOT to try! I applied this to my deep wave, curly, human hair extensions and this oil caused them to become super matted and frizzy. I shampood them 3 times and deep conditioned them plus put my usual leave-in conditioning creme on the hair and even after that I still had to cut 4 inches of length off! Honestly, this oil made the hair behave like as if I put strong hold hair spray on it - it became this stiff mass of matted frizz! I'm just glad my weave was 26" so cutting that much off wasn't too much of an issue. Secondly it lost points due to the packaging. It comes in a bottle with a nozzle but this product is Shea Butter. Shea Butter solidifies when it is cold so there's no way you're going to be able to squeeze it out the bottle! If this came in a tub it would be more ideal. In summer this will be more liquid and oil like but heave help you if you keep this in your bathroom in winter. My advise is - don't heat the bottle in hot water or keep it near a radiator because heat degrades molecules so the more times you do this, the ingredients will stop working so instead, poke a clean (no longer used for food ofc) chopstick or pencil into the solidified product. When you pull this out, it will be a thick paste on the stick and you can warm this in your hands or apply direct to your scalp. That way you're only getting out a bit at a time because also, a little of this stuff goes a long way. Will I buy it again? Yes I will but only for use on my scalp.

Hard to get out but smells beautiful
