Advantages: Lifts curls, controls frizz, make curls look great, nice smell

Disadvantages: Makes hair crunchy if sprayed too close

My hair is naturally curly and often frizzy as well so I've always needed some sort of hair curl product to tame my frizz and to make my curls look that little bit nicer.

For Christmas Santa brought me Alberto's VO5 gel spray curl booster and, compared to some of Santa's usual small stocking fillers, it was the perfect gift and I really love it.

It comes in a tall thin dark blue 200ml plastic bottle and you can easily see that it is a curl booster as this is written in big letters on the bottle. It is meant to boost and lock in curls with a firm hold and it does effectively do this. To use it you push the pump spray at the top of the bottle with short even bursts, work it through with your finger tips or scrunch your hair and then style it as you usually do. It lifts your curls as well as de-taming any frizz. Make sure you spray it from fairly far away as otherwise the spray will only reach one part of your hair and it will make it quite hard and crispy, like the feel after using hairspray. Sprayed evenly and from a good distance and the curls will go very slightly crunchy but still feel smooth. The spray does last all day and keeps your curls defined and smooth but I occasionally top it up with a quick burst later on in the evening to just re-lift the curls a little. It also leaves your hair with a fresh and pleasant scent.

I later found out that Santa got my gift from Poundland which is brilliant value for this. I'm not sure exactly how much it would usually be but other VO5 products similar to this retail at around £2.50.

This is the best hair product for curly hair that I've used - it is brilliant at controlling frizz and creating defined and gorgeous curls.
