The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.4/5
For second-day hair that looks flat by noon. If hair is already clean, this just adds powder.
Formula standards
4.3/5
It should not leave hair stiff if you wait and then brush. Spray too close and you will see white.
The verdict
Keep it for the mornings there is no time to wash. It is not a substitute for a real shampoo.
