OSiS hair products have been in the market for quite some years, and they are well known for the quality and variety.

The Body Me for Volume @RM60 has been formulated to add volume for your hair.

The gel is quite watery. You definitely won’t need a lot to style your hair. A little bit goes a long way, and it doesn’t feel sticky on the hair.

But you might need to use soap to cleanse your hand though.

The best way to use it is, applying on damp hair, then blow dry your hair from opposite directions.

If you would like to have really bombastic hair, you can scrap your hair to make it look more volume-nized.

But here I did not scrap my hair as I do not wish to damage my precious. I just applied it, blow dry and I sort of having some airy feel in my hair, especially the back of my head.

Now, moving on to out-of-bed hair.

Featuring OSiS product is 4-Play texture @RM60.

I know the name sounds kinda cheesy right.

If you are gifted with natural curls, you are blessed indeed!

But, styling is also important to maintain the wavy but stylish look. Although my hair is short now, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t explore any other styling products.

My model of the day – Veronica.

She has long, black hair with natural curls. When she does not apply anything, you can see the loose curls are not so defined.

Here, I am going to test a range of OSiS products on her hair, including:
- Curl Me Soft – RM60
- Hold Miracle for Volume (Ultra Strong Cream Mousse) – RM52
- Freeze (Strong Hold Hair Spray) – RM52
- Shine Duster for finishing – RM65

First, squeeze out some Curl Me Soft cream on your palm, I actually used even lesser than that for her long hair.

Apply on hair evenly and use your fingers to twist the curls. Now, you can see that the curls are more defined.

The best part is, it smells heavenly!

Styling product is one of the men’s must have items.

Short or long hair, a man must at least have a neat hair style! At least that’s what I think.

Introducing – one of the new products from OSiS+ – Gelastic Texture Ulta Strong Flex Gel.

I love the sleek red bottle, and easy to bring along because of the cylinder bottle, and less chances of spillage.

I quite like the twist cap, it is easy to squeezed the content out, and it is good that it doesn’t overflow.

The gel appears to be watery and easy spread on palms without sticking your palms together as you rub.

I thought: Since it is so watery, can it hold well? I really had a doubt especially this is a level 4 product (strongest hold).

Ever since I cut my hair short, I have been relying on hair styling products daily to keep my hair in place and in style. I did not have to use any hair products when I had long hair back then.

OSiS has been a well-known brand in the market for many years and it is under Schwarzkopf Professional from Germany. All their products are categorized by 3 groups: Style, Texture and Finish.  They have just relaunched the brand by introducing new packaging,  and also a few new products in the line.

I was given a tub of  OSiS Flexwax (Ultra Strong Cream Wax) to test, and the bright red tin is really attention-catching! It is also one of the new products in the Texture line.

The numbers on the in is an indication of level of control. In this case which is #4, it can hold your style really strong!

Unscrewing tin case,  the white wax in the tin is revealed. Bringing it closer to nose, you get a whiff of fruity scent. I can’t quite describe what fruit it is, but the scent is very pleasant!

Application:
- Apply a small amount from hands into dry hair.
- Style, create and texture as you wish.
- Re-mould and texture as often as you wish.

Digging out a  bit of the wax, you can feel the thick texture.

Assuming that you have had some sort of plans to get married, it is advisable that you start keeping your hair long in advanced, say 6-12 months before the photoshoot or wedding day. To avoid bad hair day, or hair looking like hay, it is better to start your preparation earlier.

The reason is pretty obvious:  Long hair means more choices of hair style!

To take care of your hair, there are some tips that I think worked for me.

1. Hair shampoo – If you think you have found the perfect shampoo for yourself, please stick to the shampoo and do not be adventurous.  Do not experiment any new shampoo when the big day is near. Who knows the new shampoo gives you loads of dandruff or causes unexpected hair fall? If you need safe options, you might want to explore Yuan shampoo.

2. Hair conditioner – It’s important to use a hair conditioner after each shampoo regardless short or long hair, you can rinse it off when you are done with your body shower.

3. Hair mask – If you have no extra budget to go for treatments in hair saloon, please use any hair mask diligently, if you want to see result. In fact, any hair mask would do the job. Here I recommend Sunsilk Smooth and Manageable Hair Recovery Treatment because it is cheap and it works! It is only less than RM15 and a tub can last you forever. I use it as my daily hair conditioner.

4. Moisturizing hair spray - If you have the habit of blow-drying your hair, I recommend you to use moisturizing hair spray before blow-drying to retain the moisture in your hair. Seriously there IS a difference.

5. Hair serum – If you have long hair and tonnes of split ends, hair serum will be your best friend. Apply the serum only at the ends of your hair so that your scalp will not be greasy.  I am a fan of the Ellips hair capsules as they are my savior during emergency, eg when my hair is SO dry after all the styling and twisting. They work magic!

6. Hair Extension – If you can’t bear the thought of having long hair, or have thin hair, you might want to consider using hair extension. They are cool and it is nothing to be ashamed of! Here,  I have a strand of long curl, and also a fringe.  I have done a review for how to fake bangs and seriously i think this is also my HG item. LOL. The long curl was only RM45 while the fringe was RM48.

Here is my picture with the hair extension in one of the wedding receptions. I must say it is as good as my hair, and extremely easy to use!

And then for the real wedding day, I decided to use the bangs instead of the long curl.

I know we see tonnes of hair loss advertisement on the papers, on the billboard, but I never ever thought of looking twice. But just starting last year, I started to notice hair loss on top of my head.

With the hair thinning thought haunting me, I finally braved myself for a scalp check-up. I know it is really disturbing and hard-to-face-it for some, but I thought I should do something about it before it’s too late.

Stepping into 101 Hair Care Centre in Mid Valley Boulevard. (Previously known as Beijing 101)

My heart was pounding very fast as I waited at the lounge. It felt like I was going for a major body check-up.

I was required to fill in some personal particulars then was brought into the consultation room. It was 1-1 consultation and it was very personal.

This is the machine used for checking my scalp condition.
