Gentle shampoo and conditioner sets leave your scalp grungy and not clean. VO5 effectively cleans scalp and hair without leaving a heavy residue like some modern iterations.It’s a longtime brand that never gets the ad dollars and fancy-schmancy label changes, which is fine by me. It works. My hair is clean and shiny and feels lightweight.The fragrance is not heavy and fades away, so it won’t interfere with your true fragrance for the day.I will say that the cheap price shocked me, and I snapped it up. I’ve used this new purchase several times, and I’m as happy with it as I was in that past.
