FAQs
Can I use this on long hair?
While it is best for short to mid-length styles, it can be used on the ends of longer hair to provide texture, though it will not hold the entire weight of long hair.
Is this product greasy?
No, it is specifically formulated to provide a natural matte finish without a greasy or oily residue.
How do I remove the gum from my hair?
The formula is designed to be water-soluble and will wash out easily with your regular daily shampoo.
Does it have a strong scent?
VO5 styling products typically feature a subtle, clean fragrance that does not overpower other personal care scents.
Can I use this with a hair dryer?
Yes, applying it to damp hair and then blow-drying can help lock in volume and shape before the product sets fully.
Troubleshooting
Hair feels sticky or stiff after application
You have likely used too much product; reduce your usage to a small, pea-sized amount next time.
Product is too hard to spread in palms
Ensure you rub the product between your hands for 5-10 seconds to generate heat, which softens the gum for even distribution.
Style loses hold throughout the day
Ensure your hair was clean and free of heavy conditioning products before application, as residue can prevent the gum from gripping the hair fiber.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a strong, lasting hold for structured styles
- Leaves a clean, natural matte finish
- Easy to wash out with standard shampoo

Cons
- Over-application can make hair feel heavy or sticky
- Strong hold may be too stiff for fine, limp hair types
- Limited effectiveness on very long, heavy hair
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent the gum from drying out. Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can alter the consistency of the wax.
Compatibility is highest with short to medium-length hair types. If you currently use other hair treatments like oils or leave-in conditioners, ensure they are fully absorbed before applying the texturising gum to avoid diluting the hold strength. When finishing your day, use a clarifying or standard shampoo to ensure complete removal from your scalp and hair shafts.
