The Edyt Score
4.3 / 5.0
Targets
4.3/5
For braids, locs, or other styles that still need a clean scalp. Skip the curl cream if washing is the only need.
Formula standards
4.3/5
A liquid shampoo with a mint tingle. Dilute or work it through slowly, or residue sits in the style.
The verdict
A useful wash-day bottle while a style is in. One is enough.
