• Those experiencing dry or flaky-feeling scalp areas
• Anyone looking for care between wash days

When dryness appears between wash days, washing your hair again is not always the solution. This leave-in formula gives you a practical way to address specific areas while keeping your existing routine intact.

Its main role is different from a general-purpose hair oil. It is formulated and positioned specifically for scalp application, making it useful when the priority is nourishing the scalp rather than coating the lengths.

It also gives you flexibility: use it as part of regular care, apply it between shampoos, or incorporate it into a more intensive hot-oil routine.

What is Cantu Guava Scalp Nourishing Treatment Serum?

It is an oil-based leave-in serum designed to nourish and moisturise the scalp, particularly dry and flaky-feeling areas.

What is the serum used for?

It is intended to provide scalp moisture between shampoos and can also be used as a daily moisturiser or hot-oil treatment.

Can I use it on a dry scalp?

Yes. Cantu recommends applying the serum to dry, flaky areas between shampoos.

Can I use it between wash days?

Yes. Applying it between shampoos is one of the product's intended uses.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. Cantu states that the serum can be used daily.

Can I use it as a hot-oil treatment?

Yes. It can be used as a hot-oil treatment when a more intensive moisture step is desired.

Where should I apply it?

Apply directly to dry or flaky areas of the scalp. Cantu also recommends massage into thinning areas for a deeper treatment.

Will this make my hair greasy?

The formula is oil-based, so the amount applied can affect the final feel. Start with a small amount and concentrate it on the scalp rather than saturating the hair.

Is this a scalp serum or a hair oil?

It is specifically positioned as a scalp nourishing treatment serum. Its primary purpose is scalp care rather than general application through the hair.

Is it suitable for curly, coily and wavy hair?

The serum belongs to Cantu's Guava collection, which is designed around textured-hair routines. It can be incorporated into curly, coily and wavy hair-care routines when scalp nourishment is needed.

Does it need to be rinsed out?

No. It is a leave-in formula.

How is it different from a scalp exfoliating treatment?

This serum is intended for nourishment and moisture. Cantu's Guava Scalp Exfoliating Pre-Cleansing Treatment serves a different purpose and is used before shampooing as part of the cleansing routine.
