The Edyt Score
4.4 / 5.0
Targets
4.4/5
For thicker, coily hair that drinks cream. Fine or low-porosity hair will feel coated.
Formula standards
4.3/5
Rich and a little heavy. A dime is often enough. More just sits.
The verdict
A solid cheap cream if coils are dry. Skip it if hair already looks greasy by noon.
