Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Mess Up Matte Texture Paste, 3.38 oz — Medium Hold, Dry Moldable Finish

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Mess Up is a matte texture paste that delivers dry, moldable texture and medium, reworkable hold for tousled, lived-in hairstyles.

Lightweight yet pliable, this texture paste blends carnauba and beeswax to give short to medium hair a matte finish without stiffness or shine. It's designed for flexible styling — you can sculpt, separate, and reshape your look throughout the day while keeping a natural, messy appearance. Use on dry hair for immediate texture, or combine with other OSiS+ products for semi-matte or enhanced shine effects.

How do I use Mess Up paste to get that 'I just rolled out of bed' look?

Start with a small amount warmed between your palms, then rake it through dry hair focusing on the roots and mid-lengths. Twist and pinch sections to define pieces and create separation; add more paste sparingly until you reach the desired messiness. The formula remains reworkable, so you can tweak your style during the day without buildup.

• Apply pea-sized amount; increase gradually for thicker hair
• Work into dry hair for best matte texture
• Pinch ends and lift roots for lived-in volume

What styling results can I expect from the medium hold and matte finish?

You'll get flexible control that shapes hair without a glossy film or crunchy residue. The medium hold keeps styles in place while allowing movement, ideal for tousled crops, textured fringes, and casual waves. Matte texture enhances dimension so hair looks fuller and more defined under natural light.

• Dry, non-reflective finish for natural-looking styles
• Medium hold that remains pliable and reworkable
• Improves separation and perceived volume

Can Mess Up be used with other OSiS+ products and how do I mix them?

Yes — Mess Up is formulated to layer well with other OSiS+ treatments. For a semi-matte sheen, blend a small amount of Mess Up with one pump of OSiS+ Glow; for stronger texture, pair with texturizing sprays or powders. Always start with less product and build to avoid weighing hair down.

• Mix small quantities in your palm before applying
• Combine with OSiS+ Glow for controlled shine
• Layer with sprays or powders for added lift or grit

How does the paste perform on different hair types and lengths?

Best suited for short to medium lengths, Mess Up works on straight, wavy, and slightly curly hair to create texture and separation. Fine hair benefits from the matte volume lift, while thicker hair may need a bit more product to define pieces. Extremely long or very curly hair can use Mess Up for localized shaping and piece-defining rather than full-head coverage.

• Short to medium hair: full-head texture and separation
• Fine hair: adds visible lift without heaviness
• Thick hair: use strategically on sections for definition

Who this is for: Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Mess Up is aimed at anyone seeking a natural, matte textured look with medium, reworkable hold — especially those who prefer undone, casual styles over stiff or shiny finishes. It's a go-to product for barbers, stylists, and everyday users who want easy-to-manage texture, separation, and on-the-go restyling without sticky residue.
