VO5 Elixir Hot Oil

An oldie but a goodie – I remember this was all the rage when i was in my 20s (i'm now in my 30s). Then i completely forgot about it, until recently. Post pregnancy my hair has been rather flat and has been falling out. I bought some VO5 hot oil a couple of weeks ago to try and repair the state of my hair, and upon use, immediately remembered why i used to love this… Read more

product.

Can't say it's stopped the hair loss, but my hair (1) smells fantastic, long after its been washed, (2) is so much more softer (great as i tend to blow dry daily), (3) is no longer frizzy, (4) is so much more shinier and looks healthier.

Yes, i could probably get similar results using an oil from my kitchen, but i love the scent, non-greasiness and convenience of these hot oils. Only downside is, as i still have relatively thick hair, that is below shoulder length, i often have to use 2-3 tubes per go. But will continue to use for a long time to come!

Pricey; one tube doesn't go particularly far on long and/or thick hair.

Excellent – VO% Hot Oil Treatment. It worked so well, as my scalp was in need of some heavy duty repair, I left this on for 3 hours covered it with a shower cap and walla i havent had any trouble since. I will continue to use this weekly then monthly as I dont want my hair or scalp to ever get like that again, it was embarising to say the least when people… Read more

just stare at you and you know what they are staring at. Thanks To VO% Hot Oil Treatment that wont happen Again. I would have to give this product a good ten out of Ten plus. Thanks VO5. I was in a dilema the other day i woke up only to find my scalp completley dry and you could literally see the skin coming away from the scalp. I went down to priceline as i know the lady there and she noticed it also anyway this is what she put me on to

Bad – While this product is not terrible, it is not as good as it advertised to be. It did not transform my hair at all. In my opinion it does the same job as a decent conditioner does. This is a cheap and simple treatment. My hair is colored frequently and while is in reasonable condition, can be on the dry side. I have used this product on occasion… Read more

and have found not much difference at all in the texture / moisture / condition of my hair. I find that the process of heating the oil in hot water is fiddling and time consuming. I have never had a "hot oil" treatment, depsite following instructions I have always ended up with a "lukewarm oil" treatment. Also it is hard to get the entire contents out of the packaging leaving waste.

OK – While this product is different and a good idea, I am not convinced that it strengthens your hair as much as it says it does. The product does not last as long as other conditioners either. I like the idea of this product but I do not think it leaves your hair that much better compared to some other products out there. It can be a bit hard to use… Read more

as the oil is very slippery and can fall out of your hands if applying while in the shower. It tends to be a bit expensive for what it does.

OK – Good product but people have been using regular olive oil in their hair for centuries. Take a leaf out of Miranda Kerr's book and apply to the ends of your hair over night, (put a towel over your pillow case first!) and wash out in the morning - amazing hair for a fraction of the price! Leaves hair silky and smooth - delivers what it promises. Nothing but you can get the same results from using a normal oil.

Excellent – I have used the normal hot oil treatments for years since I was a teenager, but this one is alot better, I love the new advanced formula. The product I use comes in three small plastic tubes. It's really easy to use and it gives me noticable results. I use it once a week and have been doing so for the last few months and my hair is left strong… Read more

and healthy. Since I have been using it everyone says how great my hair looks. It's lustrous, smooth, and very healthy looking. Gives me strong, shiny hair with less spit ends. So cheap and comes in a handy 3 pack.

Bad – I have tried this product a couple of times and found no difference in my hair. I have recently tried Pantene's 3 minute miracle, and it is great. My hair was so soft and managable after using it just once. I have qhite long hair, and used 2 tubes of teh V05 hot oil, thinking this may be the problem, but it still made no difference at all. … Read more

Don't bother trying it, is is simply just not worth the money

I didn't see any chang in the way my hair felt at all when I used this
