What’s new from Alberto VO5

Me and my once beautiful hair.

My hair used to be my best feature. I had such thick and luscious hair when I was younger. My hairdresser referred to it as a lion’s mane. Sadly years of coloring and perming my hair, plus age, hormones and other factors have drained my glorious locks of hair. These days my hair has thinned out, turned white (gray and silver too) and doesn’t look nearly as good as it once did.

Right now I have long hair. It comes to about half way down my back. If I reach my hair behind my back I can grab the end of my hair.

Lately I have been seriously considering chopping a lot of it off and leaving my hair a little longer than shoulder length. Now that I work I don’t have that much time to do my hair the way I’d like to. It might be easier to take care of if it’s shorter, plus maybe it will help with my dry, brittle ends.

I love trying out different bath and body products – including hair products. I’m always on the look out for the best products for my hair, skin, face and body.

Alberto VO5 is a brand that I have been using ever since I was a teenager. I remember using the brands weekly hot oil treatments. I still remember the chipped blue plastic cup I would bring in the shower with me to heat up the hot oil so I could apply it to my hair.

The brand has been around for decades. The same hot oil treatment I used on my hair 30 years ago is still found on store shelves. In fact I still use it. My teenager daughter uses it as well.

The conditioning hairdressing cream is also a great product. I’ve used that since I was a teen too. It helps smooth out dry, split ends.

Alberto VO5 has expanded it’s product line over the years.

Another favorite product, one I use on occasion, is Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment.

This product is super easy to use. Simply apply it to your hair and scalp BEFORE shampooing your hair. Leave the product on for exactly one minute then thoroughly rinse it out of your hair. Then shampoo and style like you normally would.

The VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Weekly Deep Conditioning provides your hair with five essential vitamins and proteins that it needs to look and feel it’s best. It’s great for dry, damaged and/or over processed hair that needs repair and deep conditioning.

It’s similar to the Alberto VO5 Hot Oil Weekly Intense Conditioning Treatment that I used since I was a teen. The only difference is that you don’t have to warm up the oil before using it. It’s ready to use as soon as you hop in the shower.

You can use either product once a week. They are similar products so there is no need to use both of them during the week. I prefer the VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Weekly Deep Conditioning because it doesn’t need to be warmed up before using it. I only have about 10 minutes in the shower in the morning so the less time in the shower the better.

Alberto VO5 has a new product that will soon be available at fine retailers nationwide. It’s called Alberto VO5 Shine, Glow & Go Beauty Oil.

NEW Alberto VO5 Shine, Glow & Go Beauty Oil is a light, natural oil blend for both hair and body. Infused with VO5’s signature 5 essential vitamins, this ultra-hydrating, fast-absorbing oil helps replenish dry hair and skin to feel soft, silky and look more radiant. Free of mineral oils, paraben and dyes.

I was sent a bottle of the new Shine, Glow & Go Beauty Oil to try out. It comes in a spray bottle to make it easy to apply to your hair.

Since it’s an oil I like to know that I am not applying too much (which can leave your hair looking greasy) so I prefer to spray some in my hand, rub my hands together, then apply it to my hair. You can spray it on your hair directly if you prefer.

I like to keep the oil on the end of my hair where I need it most. That is another reason why I find it easier to spray it in my hand and apply to my hair. It gives me control as to where I want to apply the product.

The first time I used it I did spray it on my hair but accidentally sprayed too much which made my hair look very greasy and somewhat stiff. I had to wash my hair and apply it again. The next time I knew to apply it sparingly. A little bit goes a long way. You do not need a lot of this product to reap it’s benefits.

My hair now. Should I cut most of it off?

Alberto VO5 Shine, Glow & Go Beauty Oil has a pleasant scent too. It’s a very light scent. I didn’t notice it much after I applied it so yo don’t need to worry about the scent clashing with your perfume.

This product is for both your hair and skin. I apply this to my body as soon as I step out of the shower when my skin is still a bit moist. My skin drinks it right in. For this option using it as a spray is a lot easier. I just spray it on, rub it around (if necessary) and let it absorb into my skin. It absorbs quickly so you don’t need to wait around for your skin to dry. You can get dressed shortly after you apply it to your skin.

I like that it adds moisture to my skin. It almost seems like there is a “barrier” on my skin that helps keep moisture in. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth.

Sometimes when I get out of the shower my skin feels “stiff”. I think that is because most soaps can dry out your skin. Using the spray as soon as I get out of the shower gets rid of that stiff feeling. The moment I spray it on it’s like I get instant relief from the dry feeling I get from using soap.

Over all I like this product. I like that it serves more than one use too. Plus it’s from a brand that I have used since I was a teen and a brand I trust.

The new product has a retail price of $4.99 and it is now available at Walgreens and other regional retailers such as Kroger, Ralph’s, HEB, Publix, Winn Dixie, Bi-Lo, Hannaford, Giant Eagle and many more.
