Back Comb In a Bottle!

I came across this product whilst I was at Georges Hairdressing in Leicester. I saw the hairdresser use this on a client. It seemed rather weird when she lifted some of the clients hair and sprinkled some of this table-salt like powder on the roots.

I was rather bewildered and could not resist asking her what it was. She told me she likes to call it 'backcomb in a bottle' hence the title of the post.

It's the OSIS Dust it mattifying powder from Schwarzkopf Professional range. It comes in a powder form and looks like table salt. When sprinkled at the roots, it is supposed to provide texture to the hair along with a matte effect.

Does it actually do that?

Well, as the hairdresser rightly said, it's back-comb in a bottle!

I lift my hair from the roots, taking a thin section and then sprinkle a bit of this powder right from the bottle on to the roots of my hair. I then massage it slightly at the roots and tease it with my fingers upwards to give my hair a lift.

I do this all over the crown area taking thin sections of hair and when I put the hair back in their position, I instantly have a bounce or a lift in my hair. It instantly gives them volume on the top and they no longer fall flat clinging to my forehead!

It works instantly, in like seconds which is the beauty of this product. Plus you only need a bit at a time to make it work. Say no to a horrendous back-combing experience especially on an everyday basis.

It's pure magic. You have to give this a try ladies! If I am correct, some other drug store brands do such products too but I am not sure which ones specifically. You can try getting this from some Salon as I did, google it and buy it from some web store or ebay it.

I got this 50ml bottle for £15 coming home to find that its much more cheaper elsewhere! Oh well.

Do you know of such magical products?
