I only used the grease. I use it to help stretch my relaxers. When my hair get really thick. I do a roller wrap then grease the parts with the Dr. Miracle's grease. Then I tie my hair up with a wave cap and go to bed. I really like that cool feeling. The next morning when I comb out my wrap it looks as if I had a fresh relaxer. Not sure if it's the product line or just my method of greasing the scalp and sleeping in the wave cap. But that is my experience.
