The Edyt Score
4.6 / 5.0
Targets
4.6/5
For curly and coily hair that knots when dry. Skip it if hair is very fine and straight.
Formula standards
4.6/5
A rich leave-in: a dime on soaking-wet hair. Too much sits greasy on looser waves.
The verdict
A strong leave-in for textured hair. One bottle is enough.
