Lurking on the bathroom shelf, in the no mans land that stores the pumice stones, spare tooth brushes, hair gels etc I found a tub of VO5 styling wax that I brought quite a while ago. I brought the tub from Boots for £2.99 as I was on my way home from the hairdressers; although I have quite long hair the hairdresser used a small amount of wax on my hair to give it definition. Basking in the post hairdresser glow I happily purchased the small tub of wax as I wanted to try and replicate the style I had left the hairdressers with. The small blue tub has a screw top lid and the labelling tells me that my tub contains 75ml of wax and is the UK's number styling wax. ...  Read the complete review

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 opted for the Control Styling Wax that "shapes, holds and moulds". It comes in a small blue tub that measures 4cm tall and 6cm in diameter. It has a sticker on the screw off lid with the name of the product then round the rim of the tub it has the name again, along with the ingredients, directions for use and some useful tips. The tub itself is quite appealing when you see it on the shelf and the look ...  Read the complete review

I have really thick hair and so whenever I curl it I need to use wax and sprays to hold it in place otherwise the curls just fall out. Over the last few years I have tried various different products to try and find something which not only holds my hair style in place but also makes it look natural and doesn't make it go hard. I've found it really difficult to get something which I'm completely happy with. This wax helps to hold my hair in place but leaves it feeling waxy and takes away the shine. It comes in a round tub with a lid which you twist off. This means you can dip your fingers in and get as much as you like but it also means that the lid is often ...  Read the complete review

My hair is dark, thick and wavy. Wax does not seem to work very well with my hair type, but perhaps its better if paired up with other products. The wax seems to work best straight after a haircut, when my hair is short. Applying the product to your hair is relatively straight forward but its a little difficult to wash off your hands. In other reviews people claimed that it can be difficult to wash off, but using Head and Shoulders seemed to work, I only have to wash it once to remove the wax. The advantage of wax over other products is that it is waterproof, which I suppose could be useful, but in rain it is unlikely to be able to hold your hair in a particular style. ..  Read the complete review
