Since the age of 25, I have had a habit of letting my normally simple and short hair growing to the point where I feel the need to style it. I used many cheap pot hair gels and overly expensive hair creams and waxes, but I finally settled on one make. A basic wet look hair gel with no bells and whistles, Alberto VO5 Wet Look Gel. Here are my thoughts on using this product over the last 8 years. --Hold Still!-- I vaguely recall the brand name VO5 becoming popular in the nineties, where lots of people seemed to be using their products. They appeared to have that ounce of quality without the high prices attached. The VO5 brand is owned by the US beauty ...  Read the complete review

I have medium short hair at the minute and don't normally like gels as I just don't like the way they feel in my hair or the fact that they make my hair look hard. I usually use waxes or clays in my hair as they give my wavy hair the support it needs without leaving it hard and crunchy. I needed a wet look gel as I was going to a party with a 1920's theme and wanted something that would slick my hair back and give it that old fashioned look. I had used this years ago when I thought it was cool to have hair that didn't move so happily bought it again but after using it I wouldn't buy it again. The gel is really liquidly and it was hard to use ...  Read the complete review

I were having a clearout recently and came across a rather old bottle of Alberto V05 Wet Look Styling Gel. This brought back memories of school disco's and special occasions when I were younger.

The V05 logo is stamped proudly on the front of the tube towards the top and the word 'WET' is written in large letters below this. Overall the look of the product is very professional and sits well ...  Read the complete review

This product isnt too bad i suppose as its not really expensive however it is far from the best on the market . Obviously you only get this look if you are wanting to create a wet look with your hair but in my opinion i use this with the v05 hair spray and it still fails to stay in that position that i fist styled it in. Also if you are planning anything remotely strenuous such as the gym, running or dancing then this isnt the product for you. This all comes out once you sweat. It gives a good look to begin with and would possibly stay with a better or stronger hair spray. But on that note you shouldn't be buying a product thinking you will have to buy a strong ...  Read the complete review
