Alberto VO5 Fade Defy Shampoo

I recently bought a bottle each of VO5 Fade defy shampoo and conditioner. My hair is naturally a dark blonde/mousy brown sort of colour, which I dye dark brown. I have been thinking of going back to a blonde colour, so havent dyed it in a while, but the dark brown is starting to fade, and I wanted something to keep the colour looking vibrant. ~What they say~ The front of the bottle states that this shampoo 'reduces colour fade for that just coloured look.' It says that 'Fade Deny technology forms a barrier inside each hair so it locks in the colour up to 5 times as long.' Sounds just what I needed... ~Packaging~ This shampoo ...  Read the complete review

If you have read any of my reviews before, You will know that I am not very loyal in the product stakes. Once again I was looking for a bargain and got this shampoo by Alberto VO5. It was 97p in Wilkinsons so I picked up both the shampoo and conditioner. The product is the fade defy ELIXIR with fade defy technology and uv filter. The shampoo comes in a red bottle with a flip top lid. It has the product details on the front with some water droplet detailing around it. It also states that the shampoo is infused with 5 vital oils which are avocado, jojoba, apricot, almond and grape oil. These all have different properties which I will tell ...  Read the complete review

I have already written a review on "Alberto VO5 Silky Smooth Elixir Shampoo" which is another product in this range and if you've already read that one, you'll know I'm a fan. VO5 perhaps isn't the most popular brand and isn't the best that money can buy but mention it to almost anyone and you'll bet they'll have heard of it. For the past few months now I've been buying the pink version (as mentioned above) as it's always on offer, a snip at just a pound! It's purse friendly and a shampoo I know does wonders for my hair. Why the change then? In the past week or so I finally dyed my hair from its dull faded once-upon-a-time red ...  Read the complete review

I dye my hair regularly and it is quite dry naturally due to my diet and lifestyle and somwhat damaged though over styling too. After using a permanant dark brown dye last year on a slightly lighter natural brown hue, I was dismayed to see the colour was not lasting and with every wash my hair seemed to turn a shade lighter. My hair was obviously very porous and in a bad condition and I desperately needed something to lock the colour into the hair shaft. Alberto is a brand I used when I was a kid and I feel it is a brand name I can trust. Their VO5 range includes specific products for natural blondes and brunettes in addition to general products made for the ...  Read the complete review

Always on the lookout for bargains thesedays I saw that in Asda they were selling the range of VO5 shampoos and conditioners for £1 each. These usually cost £2 each, so I thought I would buy this and try. If I didn't like - fair enough, if I did, then I would stock up on a few more before the offer ended. Having hi lighted hair I perhaps should always use Shampoos that help with colour lasting, stops the colour fading and so on, but I tend to stay away from products like this as they are normally expensive and i'd heard a few horror stories from other people using colour protect products. The bottle design of this isn't that special. It is a deep ...  Read the complete review
