VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray

I've been using this product for about 6 weeks and I'm about halfway done with the bottle. I had been using a Giovanni spray previously but shipping for one item was too expensive so I decided to see what I could find at the supermarket. This was the only protectant spray I could see for a reasonable price (about $7), so I decided to give it a go.

The packaging is nice, I love pink so it's a winner there for me. The spray nozzle works well to mist the product over my hair. It also has a little push through button to easily lock it so little fingers can't waste your Product!

The smell is OK, not my fave. It kind of reminds me of a guys body spray. After straightening my hair, I can't smell it anymore though so that's good.

I think this spray makes claims that I haven't seen though. My hair hasn't been damaged from heat but I don't get any shine from this. I guess I don't really get frizz from it either which is good. My hair doesn't tend to be too frizzy anyway and I do also use leave in conditioner after straightening as well.

Overall, i think this works alright as far as heat protection goes. It's not my fave but being so cheap and accessible at the supermarket means i am very likely to pick it up again.

I bought this in a pinch and I must say it's one of the better heat protectors that you can buy at the Supermarket or the Warehouse.

I like the smell and it seems to protect my hair from heat. If you spray too close, your hair might get a bit too saturated with the product so you will need to let it dry a bit before running your straightener though. Once you get the hang of applying it properly, it's not a bad product. I would not use it as a regular product but would purchase again if I needed to.

First of all always a fan of pink so love the packaging, really liked the lock button on spray to push when wanted to lock the spray. I wash my hair every 3 days so made sure to use my spray by their directions which is to spray generously on towel dried hair before drying or styling. The smell was gorgeous fresh and light. So the product it self promises to deliver frizz free shine and I think it fairly lived up to that, considering it is a supermarket brought item and very affordable I was happy with what it did. I didn't however like the feel after blow drying it had that slightly dense feel that products leave in your hair however upon using it the next day before straightening and on unwashed hair it was awesome, it did give me frizz free hair with a fair not a highly noticeable shine. My hair still felt light and knowing I was using something to protect it while straightening was a big bonus.

Before finding the tresemme heat tamer protective spray i used to use the VO5 heat spray, its alot heavier than the tresemme so i would let me hair sit longer before using hot tools. Its not bad, i would use it again if i needed to.

I've not far from finishing the bottle.

It smells good but why do the majority of VO5's styling/heat protect products smell like a male fragrance? I'd prefer something waaay more feminine. It is refreshing. But too male.

Bottle is a great shape and so is thr trigger, it never clogged on me.

It only takes a few seconds to spritz through.

For heat heat protection it's ok. I would use it if it's all I had left.

For shine factor after straightening. No , there wasn't an increased shine , like some products give.

Frizz free. Yes. I found it produces a slight powdery build up on the hair as well, when you run your fingers through I could feel the product. (perhaps I used too much?

I have used almost a whole bottle of this over the past few weeks and will be trying other products.

I have found it has worked for a short while, making my hair beautiful, sleek and shiny but then a few hours later the frizz is back and the sleekness is gone. Maybe this is because my hair is particulary hard to manage?

However, it does smell super scrummy, is really reasonably priced and is easy to use.

The first time I used this product, I thought it was made specifically for me. My hair is extremely long, curly and unmanageable even on the best of days without straightening. I found this product to have reduced my frizz considerably, it made my hair shiny, and it gives off a light floral scent. However, after multiple uses, I found the product to be less and less effective on my hair. I found that it was lasting less and less throughout the days and nights, no matter how much straightening or product i used. I found the frizz came back after just a few hours, no matter what the weather or situation, it just wasn't as effective as that first use! I'm not sure if its because my unruly hair decided to build up an immunity, but I still recommend it to anyone whose hair is more responsive to these types of products.

I bought this product because I had run out of heat protectant (and although this isn't my usual...I was desperate)

I knew the brand V05 was reliant and a good product for the price. I have quite curly hair which I straighten every day so a good lasting heat protectant is a must!

I am quite happy with this product, it has a nice smell, and it works! The only thing I do not like is how oily it is, you do have to spray it from quite a distance and avoid your roots. Which kind of makes me feel like a lot of product is being wasted each time I spray it.

I would use it again, but it would not be my first choice.

Smells amazing and in a convenient spray bottle making it easy to apply. However it’s quite dampening so you need to then wait for your hair to dry before straightening. Im not sure how effective it is as I still noticed allot of hair breakage and my hair was still quite frizzy after straightening. So I won’t say it’s the best I’ve used.

It is a good product to protect your hair from heat damage however it makes your hair oily and leaves a white resedue when too much is used. Its not bad but would not recommend it for someone that already has oily hair.
