Your Guide to Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Professional Styling
Schwarzkopf OSiS+ is one of the most trusted professional styling ranges in the world. Developed in Germany and used in salons globally, OSiS+ offers precision-engineered products for every styling need — from volumizing powders to strong-hold sprays and curl-defining creams.
With so many specialized products in the range, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. This guide breaks down every OSiS+ product line so you can find the perfect match for your hair type and styling goals.
What Makes OSiS+ Different
Unlike multi-purpose styling products, each OSiS+ product is designed to do one thing exceptionally well. The range uses advanced polymer technology for reliable hold, and every formula is salon-tested for professional results. The entire line is also paraben-free and designed to rinse cleanly without build-up.
Refresh Dust — Bodifying Dry Shampoo
A volumizing dry shampoo that absorbs oil and adds instant root lift. The powder formula gives fine, flat hair visible body and extends your style between washes.
Key ingredients: Bodifying polymers, oil-absorbing starch
Best for: Fine hair needing volume, second-day refreshing, oil control
Volume Up — Volume Booster Spray
A lightweight spray that delivers instant fullness and light texture. Spray at the roots before blow-drying for all-day lift.
Best for: Fine to medium hair, blow-dry prep, root volume
Pump Up — Multi-Use Volume Paste
A versatile paste that adds volume, texture, and root lift. Works on damp or dry hair for flexible, buildable body.
Best for: Short to medium hair, textured volume, root lift
Freeze — Medium Hold Hairspray
An everyday finishing spray that locks in your style with flexible, touchable hold. Quick-drying formula with no residue or crunch.

Session — Extra Strong Hold Spray
The strongest hold in the OSiS+ range. Session delivers extreme hold for styles that need to last all day — the go-to for bridal, editorial, and event styling.

Maximum hold with a completely dry, matte finish. Creates structured, textured looks with zero shine — the strongest matte product in the range.
