Reddit reviews VO5 Extreme Style Matt Clay - 75 ml

My hair


It's towards the end of the day so the wax is wearing out a little bit. Generally I use V05 Extreme Style Matt Clay and Schwarzkopf Got2b Beach Matt Salt Spray. The clay isn't the greatest, there's definitely superior products out there, but for a student on a budget it does just the job. I also use a little bit of hairspray but as long as its a matt finish I'm not too bothered about brand.

Styling from out of the shower;

• get the thick of the water out of my hair by towel drying
  
  
• once its more damp than wet spray several squirts of sea salt spray in hair
  
  
• use a hair dryer on a low power setting to finish off the drying process
  
  
• get a bit of clay out and rub it all over my hands then proceed to run them through my hair in a ruffling motion
  
  
• once there's enough product in there/a good coverage, use fingertips to ruffle the top to give it a bit of volume
  
  
• when styling the fringe, bring it all down so its all on the forehead, then grab the hair in a scrunching motion and repeat until the hair has a natural looking curl to it
  
  
• give a light dusting of hair spray to hold it in place for that little bit longer

I can't really recommend a brand but any "clay" will do like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/VO5-Extreme-Style-Matt-Clay/dp/B004CM2OMO/ref=sr_1_16?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1426032492&sr=1-16&keywords=clay
Dax is a good brand but I've only used the wax so far. This is water rinseable cream though. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dax-Super-Neat-Hair-Creme/dp/B002AL4G9I/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_cp_7_NTFB?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CMXA9G4F2VVP4PRRCPQ

I'm a big fan of osmo matte clay extreme http://www.amazon.co.uk/Osmo-Matte-Clay-Extreme-100/dp/B010B0CZBU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1453609861&sr=8-2&keywords=osmo+matte+clay+extreme

In addition I like to add VO5 Clay http://www.amazon.co.uk/VO5-Extreme-Style-Matt-Clay/dp/B004CM2OMO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453609885&sr=8-1&keywords=VO5+clay

and some hair spray if necessary. I find the osmo is initially very stiff but working it through your hair maintains the hairs stiffness and volume which you can reduce by playing with it until, it's the right combination.

The VO5 matte gives it a nice finish.
