FAQs
How much VO5 Texturising Gum should I use?
Start with a very small, pea-sized amount. The product is highly concentrated with a strong hold, so a little goes a long way. You can always add a bit more if needed, but it's harder to remove excess.
Can I use this gum on long hair?
While it's optimized for short to mid-length hair to create 'extreme styles,' you can use a small amount on longer hair for texture, definition, or taming flyaways. However, it may not provide the same overall hold or style control on very long hair.
Is VO5 Texturising Gum suitable for all hair types?
Yes, it is designed for unisex use and is generally suitable for most hair types, particularly those seeking strong hold and texture for short to mid-length styles. It works well on fine, medium, and thick hair.
How do I get the best hold for my style?
For the strongest, all-day hold, apply the gum to completely dry hair. Ensure it's thoroughly warmed between your palms before application and distributed evenly through the sections you want to style. Sculpt quickly as the product sets.
Will this product make my hair feel stiff or crunchy?
If used sparingly and worked in properly, it provides a firm hold without excessive stiffness. However, if too much is applied, or if it's not evenly distributed, it can lead to a more rigid or slightly crunchy feel. Always start with less.
How do I remove the Texturising Gum from my hair?
The product is designed to be easy to wash out. Simply use your regular shampoo and warm water. For thorough removal, especially if you've used a larger amount, you might find a double shampoo or a clarifying shampoo helpful.
Troubleshooting
Hair feels heavy or greasy after application.
You've likely used too much product. Remember the guidance: 'use sparingly, a little goes a long way.' For your next application, reduce the amount significantly. Start with a pea-sized amount and add more only if absolutely necessary.
Hold is not strong enough, or style doesn't last.
Ensure your hair is completely dry before applying the gum, as applying to wet hair can dilute the hold. Also, ensure you're distributing the product evenly through the sections you wish to style. Work it from roots to ends for maximum effect.
Product is difficult to wash out of hair.
While designed to be easy to wash out, sometimes strong hold products require a bit more effort. Try shampooing your hair twice with a clarifying shampoo, or use slightly warmer water during your wash to help break down the product effectively.
White flakes appear in my hair after using the gum.
White flakes can occur if too much product is used or if it's not thoroughly worked into the hair. Ensure you warm the gum completely between your palms before applying and distribute it very evenly. Using less product often resolves this issue.

Application Setup
Applying VO5 Texturising Gum is straightforward. Always start with clean, dry hair for the best results. A small amount, warmed between the palms, ensures even distribution and optimal styling.
