Disadvantages: None if you casn obtain it cheaply

Perfect hair remedy.....

I stumbled upon this after looking at VO5 small mini hot oil tubes and upon seeing this bigger tub appeared great value, I purchased off eBay.

The RRP is between £3.50 and £4, I picked it up for a few quid including postage.

At the moment Tesco are selling this hair lifesaver for 77p believe it or not, I only found out by a comparison website. So I cleared the shelf then went back and re-cleared the shelf and stripped it of all of it's hot oil :D yes it is THAT good.

Packaging-
Clear plastic bottle with flip lid. Ingredients used are stated. It claims that it restores the moisture for dramatic results, doubles the strength of hair to reduce breakage, seeks out and binds to the weak sites of every strand, reconstructs damaged hair and removes 75% more chlorine than shampooing alone on the bottle.

Usage-
It has markers on the side to enable you to get a correct application amount - I have long hair and do not even use the amount stated I use much less and it does the job. So a small palmful is required, just straight out of the bottle. I use it on the bottom 3 quarters of my hair as I do not want the top to be flattened by product. Apply on wet hair before shampooing. Leave for one minute then rinse and shampoo as normal.

I sometimes use conditioner after shampooing it out for extra strength as my hair really needs it with being really long, heavily layered and coloured for many years. It is not essential to use conditioner after and is normally adequate to just hot oil then shampoo. I like to massage it into the ends of my hair so I know it is getting the full benefit.

The feel-
It lathers and almost feels like it is cleaning your hair leaving it a bit squeaky after applying if that makes any sense, it seems like it cleans any nasties off and replaces it with moisturisation. Can't really describe it but you know it's working!!

Effects-
It helps my parched hair to feel less coarse underneath and at the ends and has somewhat of a shine to it I think after using. No weighty effect were found, it did not make my hair feel funny or heavy it just quietly did it's job and disappeared off :)

Summary-
I feel this is good for all hair tpes, use more often if you have dry hair as you cannot use too much of it, it does not leave anything behind like residue. Definitely recommend, V05 simply IS a neccesity!!
