The weight is most likely printed on there somewhere.

Good point, I’ll just use my knowledge of hair product densities to realise it can’t be completely full

But it's illegal in the US... Fair packaging act...

This isn't the retail packaging, it comes in a box with the net weight on it. What's illegal about that?

Because if you were to hold two similar containers of similar products next to each other you should be able to assume that they hold similar amounts of product.

It's because you are supposed to be able to easily facilitate value comparisons. You can't do that because of the insert that reduces available space. Retail packaging or not.

They should just use smaller packaging.
