Cantu Weightless Smoothing Shampoo is a lightweight cleansing formula designed to gently wash waves and loose curls while adding moisture and helping reduce frizz without weighing hair down.

This shampoo was formulated for looser curl patterns and textured hair that needs moisture without heaviness.
