VO5 Mega Hold Styling Gel: Extreme Control for Long-Lasting Styles (Men & Women) 200 ml/6.76 oz
Mega Hold is the strongest gel in the VO5 line, made for styles that have to defy gravity or sit flat and stay flat. Spikes, sharp slick backs, tightly held curl definition: if the shape has to survive a full day and a bit of weather, this is the tier of hold it needs.
What separates it from cheaper strong gels is that the hold is not the whole story. It sets firm without the plaster stiff feel, and it does not leave white flakes when you touch the hair later. Flyaways stay down, frizz stays down, and the shape stays where you put it.
Used by men and women alike, and the 200 ml tube dispenses cleanly, so you are not tipping product out of a wide necked bottle. Apply to damp hair for the most control, or to dry hair when you are reshaping something that has dropped.
It suits thicker or coarser hair that resists holding a shape at all, and it will keep curl definition on textured hair that lighter gels give up on by lunchtime. Pick it if firm hold has ever let you down by mid afternoon.

Application tips
Less than you think. A pea of this behaves like a walnut of a softer gel, and overloading is what makes a style go crisp and flaky.
Work it through damp hair, shape it, then stop touching it. Once it sets, it sets. For spikes, twist small sections between finger and thumb while wet. For a slick back, comb it flat and let it dry undisturbed.
Results
The strongest gel in the VO5 line and it behaves like it. Spikes stand up, a slicked shape stays flat, and curls hold their definition through wind and damp.
There is a cast to it once dry, which you can scrunch out with your hands if you want softness, or leave in if you want the sharp version. It shampoos out cleanly with no residue at the roots.
