Advantages: doesnt flop!

Disadvantages: smell

My son has very wirey wavy hair and as soon as it gets any length to it, its looks incredibly untidy, so I am always looking for gels for him to try.

VO5 freeze gel is in a blue container and states its to create spikes for gravity defying styles.

You can use it on damp or dry hair, it says for structured styles apply to dry hair section by section.

It states that what every you do it will hold all day and its easy to apply and wash out.

I generally use it on my son when he has semi damp hair and I find when I use it on dry hair his fine hair just ends up going all sticky.

I always rub it between my hands first to 'warm' the gel. Then apply it just to the front and top of his hair. It actually does hold his hair up, most of the gels I use on him I find they instantly flop but this one holds it like glue without looking greasy, my hands are always very sticky after use though.

They smell is ok, a little harsh - a bit like old fashioned hair spays used to smell. But on the whole its fine for a little boy. It doesnt hold my little boys hair all day but with all his running round etc thats hardly suprising. Although I can confirm it does wash out easily. I can't remember how much it cost but I think it was near the £2 mark so great product for cheap price.

Summary: Not a bad product for a bargain price.
