VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray

I have a frizz mop unruly colour treated hair!!!! So need to straighten religously I find this product to leave my hair feeling quite oily and heavy. It does smell amazing on the up side. Its not the usual one i would use but is ok if you needed to use something.

I am usually really fond of VO5 products...Being someone with very thick hair I rely heavily on my hair straightener. I always use a heat protector to stop my hair becoming dry and split and was really excited to be chosen to try this.

The smell is initially put me off - to me it smells like a mans aftershave, and I can still smell it. I followed the instructions and proceeded to style my hair as usual.

After I had styled my hair, it looked and felt super greasy - the promise to add shine to my hair did just that, only not the type of shine you would want. I also started to get a really itchy and irritated scalp from the product.

I don't think it is something I will be using again, mainly due to the reaction I had from it but also the look of greasy hair just doesn't do it for me.

I was so excited to try this product on my thick coarse hair, straightening daily is essential to tame my locks so I really hoped this product would be good. I liked the look of the bottle, nice size and I thought the pump spray would be good. I know this sounds sad but I actually found the pump handle a bit awkward to use at first but it did get easier. I loved the smell of the product, it is light and fresh. My damp hair was easy to comb through after application however that is probably where the positives end. Once I started drying my hair, my hair started to feel sticky and claggy. My hair felt heavy after drying and had less shine than with my usual products. I persevered for the trial period but today used my usual products to make a comparison. I could see and feel a visible difference, sorry but I won't be continuing to use this spray. However I would still recommend it for others to try because as everyone's hair is different it may well work for others :-)

I have dry damaged blonde hair. I am going through an intensive moisture reconstructing plan to help my hair grow healthier and stronger. I have naturally curly hair that I like to quickly run a straightener through to make it go wavy.

The bottle was a good size and is lightweight and has a little clip thing so you can travel with it easily. The smell was not pleasant but no overpowering.

I sprayed it through my hair when it was air dry and it seemed to be going everywhere, I let the spray dry and began straightening my hair after when i ran the brush through my hair i found some of my hair was extreamly burnt and i had to cut it off. This is the sixth and last time I have used this spray and its happened three times. It does not protect the hair very well. I have never burnt my hair on a hair straightener before using this product.
