Advantages: Smell?

Disadvantages: Misleading name; poor vertical hold; price

Alberto Vo5 Extreme Style Surf Style Matte Effect Textrurising Paste. It sounds impressive doesn't it? Well don't let the name fool you. This is one of the worst hair styling products for its price (I think its around £3 now) on the market.

The product has been around since 2008 and appears to be a spin off from its sister product Alberto Vo5 Extreme Style Rework Fibre Putty. If you're currently a user of this product, stick with it.

The title 'Surf Style' suggests this paste is aimed at people going for messy, 'roughed-up' hair. As the paste is quite moist, it is very difficult to create any vertical structure to your hair without the aid of a hairdryer. This becomes a problem when time is tight or you simply cannot be bothered.

After working into your hair, this product tends to produce the look of a cheap mousse once it has dryed and settled. It feels greasy and sticky to the touch.

The aroma given off from this product is quite unusual. It can be slightly overwhelming, and you have to be comfortable smelling like sweetened wet clay. Whether this smell appeals to you is down to personal preference.

Summary - Avoid this product. It performs like a mousse but costs substantially more.

Summary: A disappointing hair product, stick with Rework Fibre Putty.
