I was originally just going to buy the Mellow Cream, but it was way cheaper to get it as an option with the oil, so I ended up buying 1 oil and 2 Mellow Creams. As soon as my package arrived, I tested both on dry hair. The cream doesn't make your hair greasy at all! For dry hair, the oil actually works better. I think using the cream on damp hair, then drying and finishing with the oil, would be perfect. The oil is more lightweight than I expected, but it makes my hair so smooth and calm—super impressive. Highly recommend the oil! Both products smell amazing too.
