The Edyt Score
4.5 / 5.0
Targets
4.5/5
For dry curls that need a cream to clump. Skip the mousse if this richer cream is the step.
Formula standards
4.5/5
Emulsify it in wet hands or it can sit greasy in patches. A little goes far.
The verdict
A strong defining cream if dryness is the complaint. One jar.
