The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For a smoother finish before heat. Too much if hair is already oily.
Formula standards
4.5/5
Sprays evenly and does not fight most creams. A light mist. More just weighs hair down.
The verdict
A solid everyday protect-and-shine. One bottle by the iron is enough.
