Advantages: its not greasy and its not crusty... its perfect

Disadvantages: cant think of any to be honest!

vo5 gel wax combines the hold of a gel without the crustiness and the shaping of wax without the geasiness to create the most extreme styles.
I started using vo5 gel wax about 6 months ago. The reason i started using it is because i originally used brylcream and this quite often left white, dried, gel flakes in my hair.
i decided to use gel wax because brylcream also left my hair dry, and i was told the wax in the gel left hair feeling moist throughout the day.
vo5 gel wax smells delicious. It has a distinct tropical smell, but it doesnt make you smell like a fruit salad! its viscousity is certainly alot thicker than normal gel, but of course thats down to the wax, because of this it holds really well throughout the day.
what attracted me to vo5 in particular is that it won the FHM male grooming award in 2007, so it must have been good! and also the price. Although it looks like it comes in a small pot, it lasts longer than you think, so the price isnt that bad when you think about it. i bought mine for £2.49 from tesco.
i would say that vo5 gel wax is probably the best of its kind on the market and i will definately use this untill they bring along something better (if possible!).

Summary: really good, holds well and quite cheap
