Review of Alberto Vo5 Crackling Wax Spray

Keeps your hair in shape - VO5 Wax

Advantages: Keeps hair in shape for a while.
Disadvantages: Leaves your hands greasy.

I'm not the cleverest person when it comes to hair styling products, so I decided a while ago to try out some new wax to see what I could do with it. I had bought the VO5 gel before this, so I decided to stick with the brand and get some of there wax. I o ...

Review of Alberto Vo5 Advanced Styling Wax

"Washes out easily"... a downright lie!

Advantages: Holds well, can be used to good effect with other styling products (eg. sprays).
Disadvantages: Leaves hair in an appalling condition.
