The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.3/5
For curls that frizz out of a cream alone. Skip the cream-only tube if this pair is already the plan.
Formula standards
4.3/5
Layer cream first, then gel on soaking-wet hair. The gel can crunch until it is scrunched out.
The verdict
A decent starter pair for frizz. One duo is enough.
