Frequently asked questions
What is VO5?
VO5 is a haircare and hair styling brand offering products such as gels, hairsprays, waxes and treatments to style and care for your hair. It has been a familiar name on UK shelves for decades.
How do you use VO5 Hot Oil?
The classic VO5 Hot Oil tube is warmed in a cup of hot water, then applied to damp, towel-dried hair and massaged in before rinsing out, or following the specific pack instructions. It is used as a nourishing treatment to leave hair feeling softer.
Does VO5 cause hair loss?
No, VO5 styling and haircare products do not cause hair loss - they sit on the hair and scalp and wash out. If you are noticing more shedding or thinning than usual, it is worth speaking to your GP or pharmacist to look at the cause.
Does VO5 have sulfates?
Some VO5 shampoos contain sulfates while others may not, so it varies across the range - check the ingredients on the specific product. Sulfate-free options are often preferred for drier or colour-treated hair.
Is VO5 heat protection any good?
VO5 offers heat-protection styling products designed to help shield hair from the heat of straighteners and dryers, and they are a handy, affordable option. For the best results, apply it evenly before heat styling.
