Alberto VO5

I love Alberto V05 conditioners for everyday use. This is just a simple conditioner with no 'cones, it uses oils instead to add some slip to the hair. For those days when you're just hanging around the house or running errands with your hair in a ponytail it will do the job, and it smells really nice. I like the ocean breeze flavor but it doesn't really matter which one you use since they all deliver similar results because the special ingredients that are supposed to differentiate them are near the bottom of the list. This conditioner will not add structure to the hair, so for special events or that presentation at work it is a no-go. But for ordinary days where I just need the comb to run through it comfortably it is an absolute bargain.

My hair is medium length and texture, no chemical processing. I have a little wave in my hair.
This shampoo has sulfates.
I like it because it has few ingredients and helps to volumize my hair.
I wash my hair once a week. I alternate this shampoo with Alberto VO5 Moisturizing Shampoo and follow
with the matching conditioner and Free & Clear Hair Styling Gel.
My hair comes out full, as I like it.

This Shampoo along with the matching conditioner are amazing! This is a VO5 classic that’s been around a long time and been using for 20+Years! I have short, thick curly hair and this gives my curls so much body and volume as it promises! Amazing product, can’t beat the price. I mean any time I go to Dollar Tree or Wal Mart, I can easily pick up a few bottles.

This is a good followup to the shampoo of the same line. I have type 4c kinky hair thas prone to dryness. I use this when i need a light conditioner or im stretching my more pricy conditioner. It smells very bice just like the shampoo. Light pink cream color with a typical slightly thick texture. Its a lighter conditioner and works pretty well as a detangler. I don't know if this will work on very tangled/matted hair but after working into my hair after shampooing it I can get my wide tooth comb through it pretty easily. It's the same price as the shampoo (about $1 or so) and avaliable at nost stores drugstores/supermarkets/big box marts etc. It has silk protein but its very low on the ingredient list. I didn't buy it for any protein effects but becuae it smelled good and it works well for my hair. It wont replace my favourite protein based conditioner that also doubles as a deep conditioner but I still love it for what it can do. Have repurchased several times and will contuine to buy it.

My favorite budget shampoo! I have kinky type 4c hair thats prone to dryness but this shsmpoo does a good job of cleaning my hair. This is a moisturizing shampoo so if you're looking for somthing to give a deep clean to the scalp as well as the hair this isn't it. But it does give the hair a nice cleaning. Its gentle and smells great which is why I picked it up in the first place. It has silk protein but its very low on the ingredient list so it doesn't make my hair hard. (Though Im not protein sensitive.) Its only 1$ or so a bottle depending on where you go. (Ive seen it at 99cents/1$ stores etc) Its also at any drugstore or big box store and even most supermarkets so its widely available. Texture is runny but just enough thickness not to run off the hair. Its a gel pink color. Its lathers very well so be prepare for a healthy amount of suds. Like any shampoos dont get it in the eyes because you'll feel it. Rinses out easily and doesn't strip the hair. Its leaves me with a slight squeaky clean feeling but thats the case with most shampoos. Its not better than my favorite shampoo that I feel cleans the scalp a little better for a moisturizing shampoo vs a clarifying one but its still a great shampoo if you don't want/need a deep clean or you're on a budget. Have repurchased several times and will contuine to do so.
