The tools are a perk. The products are great. The foam is soft and not sticky, works above and beyond on my daughters puffy ponytails. The jam holds everything into place but it's not greasy but leaves a shine. The oil ingredients, did my ingredient checker and they checked out all good, it feels good on the scalp and is easily absorbed. My daughter loves her bonnet but it always falls off. This kept her braids very neat. Love this set
