The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For fine-to-medium curls that snag when dry. Skip the climate-control cream if you only need this primer.
Formula standards
4.5/5
A lighter cream to apply on wet hair, then style. Too much can flatten the root.
The verdict
A good everyday leave-in. Follow with gel if humidity still wins.
