Last month I had the privilege to attend Blissdom in Nashville TN. Once I arrived, the first thing I did was unpack. While I was unpacking I realized that I had forgotten my toothbrush AND my shampoo and conditioner! DOH! How do you forget to essential beauty items? Just what I needed for the hundreds of first impressions I would be making – bad breath and bad hair!
So, I headed down to register for the conference, and pick up my swag bag! (Always a fun part of any conference experience. Seriously, anyone who says they don’t enjoy it is lying!) I was surprised at the weight of the bag, so after the newbie Blissdom gathering, I headed back up to my room to call for a toothbrush and drop off my bag. Once upstairs I was thrilled to find TWO FULL SIZED bottles of VO5 Shampoo and Conditioner! It couldn’t have been better timing.
But, wait! VO5? I haven’t used that stuff since I was a little girl. I didn’t think of VO5 as a salon quality beauty product, it always seemed to be the bargain product. At about $2.50 per bottle you can’t expect that much from a product, or can you? At this point I was in a “Beggars can’t be Choosers” situation and decided to give it a go.
Apparently, you can expect a salon quality experience when it comes to VO5. I was impressed at how well the product lathered, how clean my hair felt post shampoo, and how soft the conditioner made my hair. When I blow dried my hair I was happy to see how shiny it was, and how manageable my hair was. Honestly, I wasn’t able to tell a difference between the way my hair looked when I used VO5 and when I used my $15+ bottles of shampoo. That’s bad news for my expensive shampoo and conditioners.
When I was able to talk to the VO5 representative that was at Blissdom I learned that the reason VO5 is named that is because there are 5 essential vitamins and nutrients in every bottle!
- Vitamin E – promotes scalp circulation and restores moisture
- Vitamin C – protects hair from UV rays
- Vitamin H (biotin) – promotes thicker, stronger hair
- Vitamin B5 – a moisturizer and humectant that readily binds to hair
- Vitamin B3 – moisturizes and promotes hair growth
I have since tried 3 total kinds of VO5 shampoo and conditioner.
- VO5 – Extra Body Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner
- VO5 – Kiwi Lime Clarifying Shampoo & Conditioner (Love the smell!)
- VO5 – Repair & Protect Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner (my current favorite!)

Interesting its been years since I tried this brand. Thanks for the information
I used to use it, and liked it.
I love the VO5 Hot Oil Treatments! I remember my mom would do them when I was little. I think the best thing about VO5 is how long they’ve been around. You can’t have a crap product & still be in business that long! I’ll have to go pick up a bottle of the Repair & Protect Shampoo to try. Thanks for sharing!
I used to use it when I was a kid.
That is awesome that you found an inexpensive shampoo and conditioner that you like! I wish some of these brands would make inexpensive shampoo that is safe for Keratin treated hair. ::hint hint::
