New in Malaysia is this new Osis product called Rough Rubber. I was curious so i bought one fr Shins for RM34.30 (normal retail is RM 49). advertised as limited edition but i think its just a gimmick by Shins coz on the box there is no limited edition label.

the paste is blue n texture is weird. has the regular Osis fragrance but with a very pronounced chemical smell i dun like. the texture is like ma lai kao cake. really need to poke the finger in to scoop some out of the tub. but once u work it between your palms its feels like a wax. the moment i applied it to my hair i realized it lacks grip n hold. i normally push my medium length hair to one side n pull up some random messy spikes. but with Rough Rubber it was hard to do it. its like it aint sticky enough n my fingers just glide through. so i use my fingers to pull up n make some spikes n texture.

damm after a few minutes my hair just flattens. there is still some shape but just doesn't look nice. i applied 4 finger nail size amounts. maybe i applied too much so next time i'll try with less product. kinda disappointed with Rough rubber tho as its labelled as 3- strong control.

Here r reviews of other Osis products i have used over the years.

1. Flexwax

btw.. anyone know a good hair spray brand? currently i'm using gatsby one and man it's hard to get wash it off the hair later on. having said that i'm still using it because it hold strong enough and it doesn't give the wet shiny look, which other hair spray that i've tried cannot provide. any suggestion? i normally use both wax & spray.

Osis Session Extreme Hold is pretty good.

check salons or salon supply shops. but never pay full price for it. retails for RM70 but can get it for as low as RM40 for a 500ml can.

So after changing my hair style to short and spiky, and using Gatsby and Loreal studio wax, I went to get Fudge Matte Hed Extra from Shins...at RM69, i wonder how it will perform against RM20 wax...

First thought, wax clay are similar, like putting semi liquid candle on the hair, how can a RM69 compare to RM20 stuff?

The fudge bottle is also only half full, designed that way..again...RM69...well, I just give it a try.

Review:
It takes fraction of the time to style the hair compared to cheaper waxs, because it sticks God like, yet, still allow uphold to do fine adjustments on the spikes. Yeah ppl can say even cheapo wax can do that, haha...but with fudge you can Style hair in a matter of seconds. You really can't do that on ordinary wax / clay.
The texture is also just right, and matt looking, I know cheapo wax say matt look, but fudge matte is really matt looking. Please apply it on dry hair only. It works best that way

The spikes stay in position like forever, and since I sometimes need to wear a cap during work, it still stay upright after I take off the cap, of course you can't wear the cap too tightly.
It feels very light and natural. Unlike some wax where you feel like its becoming a headache to use.
And the best thing is washing it out, even using water heater no need shampoo can wash it away. My hair feels healthly.

Verdict: It's miles ahead of those RM20 waxs and clays. No wonder ppl say to cheapo wax are just rubbish. Now I get it. But the 'Fudge matte hed extra' price of RM69 is just too high. I recommend it 100% if you can get a cheaper source. I'll just enjoy mine until it finishes. I really like it....smell great too, maybe I'll try some other premium wax and clay as well.

good review

wat is your hair type n texture ?

how much Fudge Matt Head Extra do u need to use ?

do they have a non matte Fudge products ? not wet look but just a little natural shine. matt products make my hair look like grass/straw.

Where do you guys buy Hans De Fuko and Osis brand stuff ah? Baru want to start styling my hair.

Osis pretty easy to find. salons n hair care shops (like Shins N K Care Shop) will carry all or some Osis products.

but the biggest challenge is finding good prices. Osis products have a ceiling price but i dun think got minimum price. some shops for example give 30% discount...some shops buy one free one. I heard Sg Wang has the highest concentration of shops selling Osis products. u could prob go there n compare prices n bargain. careful of fakes tho.

Most important when buying Osis products is...never pay full price. there will always be a another shop giving discounts.

What prices should I aim for ah? Like is RM35 a lot? Or maybe RM 50 is the minimum? Dunno la
*
30% off the tagged price is good. 50% off tagged price is an instant buy on the spot LOL.

10 or 20% is not good...buy only if u really in desperate need for hair styling product.

or u can just buy fr LYN seller named hair4me https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1300123&hl=

his prices r one of the best around.

i got COD wit him b4. his products r ori. his shop is at Times Square.

Ooh okay cool cool. Also one more thing, what is the OSiS sardine box that everyone recommending ah?

its the Osis Mess Up. Personally i dun really like it. My hair is thick straight n coarse. Mess Up gives my hair too much volume. the matte texture makes my already coarse hair look like grass. unless ur hair is fine n smooth, Mess up wont really work. the hold is quite weak too. but immediately after haircut up to 2 weeks Mess Up is alright for me. after d 2 week mark, Mess up makes it difficult to style my hair d.

actually what's the diff between osis session hairspray and freeze fix hairspray?

shins price for osis product is reasonable right..? thinking of buying online if its overpriced there

session stronger hold than freeze. but i've only used session b4.

shins prices fluctuates. sometimes cheap sometimes expensive.

try looking in LYN. got one seller that offers good prices.cheaper den most shops.

I recently bought Loreal Tecniart Stiff Pomade for RM35.

Previously using Osis Flexwax and the holding power was lacking n made my hair oily.

But the Loreal Stiff Pomade is pretty good. its sticky when applied so my style will stick instead of separating. the hold also good. can restyle easily.

Smells very nice too. the smell is very similar to ck one. washes out easily n my hair didn't feel dry after shampooing.

anyone have experience using other Loreal Tecni art products ? specifically the Stiff Paste and Air Fix spray

where do u guy buy all these product?....usually at watson garden, most of the time i see gatsby rubber....

salons n salon supply shops like K Care n Shins. the general rule is not to buy them at full retail price. because there is always a shop nearby that sells the same product at a discount.
