Extreme Style Matt Clay is a hair styling product from V05 which of all styling products I have used is by far the best. The product is part of the V05 styleing range which won the FHM styling awards in 2007 and 2009 (though the product did not win an individual award so text on the product is slightly misleading). *Product Description* The product comes as a grey/beige coloured clay which is quite firm to the touch when cold, becomes much more plyable when warmed (by rubbing hands or putting on to blow-dried hair). The product is described as performing four key funcions: - Adds texture and definition - Ideal to sculpt hair - Leaves a ...  Read the complete review

Out of all the hair styling products I've tried, this has to be the one that has impressed me the most and best suits my hair and desired style. The clay allows you to add some texture and style to your hair without the wet or shiny look that many waxes and gels add. It holds its shape very well without going hard and so it stays nice to touch (without feeling greasy or nasty) even if you have tonnes of it in. Its a bit strange because I can never work out quite how it behaves! Sometimes it feels like it holds it shape very well because you can brush your hands through your hair, etc, and it more or less springs back to its original shape, and yet ...  Read the complete review

I am cursed. I may sound dramatic and worried, but due to my long family's tree of fathers and mothers, and granddads and grandma's all coming from Yorkshire, I am the result, and I am left being that someone with thick dark hair. My hair is thick and uncontrollable. Just watch Emmerdale and you will understand that a Northerner without side burns and thick bushy hair, isn't a man. Thank the heavens I have discovered Alberto VO5 Matt hair clay. Hoped you liked the build up to this review. On a serious level, having thick hair is a pain in the a##e. When you have thick hair, the first thing you do in the morning, when getting ready for work, is to wake up and ...  Read the complete review

Having extremely thick, almost explosive hair, I need a product that combines strength in hold without having to go for that awful wet look gel stuff that makes your hair feel like it's frozen in slime. I've experimented with various products over the years and I don't think i'm finished. This 'clay' has been what i've used for about two years now. The matt finish is great as it doesn't make your hair look obviously styled which is something I want to avoid. I'm not vain but my hair needs to be kept in check. For me, applying this product can lead to quite different results. I should start by saying that in my experience it works best on dry hair, but in a ...  Read the complete review
