What the maker doesn’t say
Curlsmith says the ingredient list on its website and the one on the product may differ while it updates a formula. Go by the one on the product.
Curlsmith says to use a generous amount, and its directions have you lather twice, but it doesn’t say how much that is. Measure your usual amount once, and the cost calculator does the rest.
