It's been a while since I used it. If I remember correctly, I didn't like the way it made my hair feel and it definitely didn't add shine like she said it would. (she actually said on her website I think, the shine comes from adding heat such as curling your hair after applying it.) I don't know how useful it is with stretching relaxers because I didn't use it for that. I do know that WGO makes hair very soft and manageable.
