The VO5 Texturising Gum excels at giving users the power to sculpt their hair into precise and lasting styles. With its 5/5 hold level, you can achieve a wide range of looks, from sharply defined spikes and textured crops to a controlled messy bedhead. Its primary strength lies in its ability to manipulate your hair in any direction, allowing for creative freedom.
Start Small: Dispense a tiny amount, about the size of a pea, into your palm.
Emulsify: Rub your hands together vigorously until the gum is soft and evenly spread across your palms and fingers. This warms the product, making it easier to distribute.
Apply Evenly: Work the gum through dry hair, starting from the roots and moving towards the tips. Ensure even coverage for consistent hold. For textured looks, focus on specific sections.
Sculpt: Use your fingertips to shape, spike, separate, or smooth your hair into your desired "extreme style." The strong hold will quickly set your chosen look.
Despite its 'Extreme Style' branding, the gum is also effective for creating more refined, natural finishes. Apply a very minimal amount to slightly damp hair and comb through for subtle texture and control, or use to tame flyaways and add definition to 'natural hairstyles' for both day and evening wear.
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. For a softer look or less extreme hold, you may apply it to slightly damp hair, but the strongest hold is achieved on dry hair.
Hair Length: This product is specifically formulated for and works best with short to mid-length hair.
Hair Type: Suitable for most hair types, providing texture and hold. The description suggests it's a "unisex" product, indicating broad applicability across genders.
Styling Goals: Ideal for individuals looking for high hold, texture, definition, smoothing, or separation in their hairstyles.
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your VO5 Texturising Gum:
