Cantu Mens Hair & Beard Oil 100ml

I was quite surprised that Cantu did a beard oil. I use a lot of their hair products on my daughter's hair so I wasn't surprised how well this handled my beard. Due to my hair type, my beard absorbs moisture almost instantly so it's nice to see that this locks the moisture in very well, keeping my beard soft and looking fresh :)

Great timely delivery

Nice oil but I think it was turning some of my beard grey! Not fully grey but I have jet-black beard and the colour was changing to a silver black. I stopped it and switched to a vanilla oil instead and grey hairs gone. I did some reading about the contents and although caffeine apparently doesn't turn your beard grey, it can stain it so maybe that was the cause.

I have used a lot of different beard oil products in the search for the perfect one. A combination of scent, effectiveness, ease of application and dispensing method are my buying criteria.I picked this up largely because I wanted to try something with shea butter, I love that smell. Scented shea butter toilet roll. Mmmmm. It makes your toilet smell like you are on holiday. Yes!In addition this oil presents itself a little more professionally than some of the concoctions on the market and also it isn't a dropper applicator affair which usually end with half the bottle still full whilst you furiously pump the squeezy bit in the futile hope you don't need to resort to tipping the bottle all over your hand.The Good -The bottle is a well packaged, it feels robust in the hand which is better than a lot of bottles that look like they might break if you squeeze a little too hard.And that's it really.The could be better -Most disappointingly the scent of shea butter is nowhere to be found. The bottle may well contain shea butter, but you can't smell it.It's a kind of non descript ointment that does have a whiff, but it's not akin to dousing yourself in Suntan lotion and smelling like a canary island, which I was rather hoping for.Application is simply a squirt on. Squeeze the plastic bottle upside down into the palm of your hand and it spurts out of a small hole. This creates a lot of excess oil.The oil is quite greasy and I end up having to wash my hands to save coating light switches and door handles with it.I tried this for 6 days which is normally more than enough time to see any improvements to beard softness. I didn't notice any. Sad times.So overall it doesn't smell as I had hoped, is a pain to dispense, overly greasy and ultimately didn't reap any benefits.Two stars for being nicely bottled and getting my hopes up but it's back to sniffing toilet roll for my shea butter fix.

I found this oil dried out my beard even when using it as suggested. I've used a lot of different products but was disappointed with this on.
