We’ve all seen them. You know, that lady taking public transportation in the morning with her hair still wet and uncombed.
Well, guess what. That’s me. Actually, it was me.
As part of the unofficial beauty resolutions I made last January, I am making conscious effort to style my hair in the morning. If you know me, I’d rather spend my morning getting my makeup ready (it’s soothing, okay?) instead of fussing with my hair.
When not styled, my hair is naturally straight and unfortunately limp. I love the look of bouncy hair (kinda like this) but I could never get the just-got-back-from-the-salon bounce at home. That… or I’m too lazy.
But now, I use Scharzkopf OSiS Glamour Queen. I spray this on the roots of my towel dried hair, blow dry my hair in the opposite direction of where it naturally falls, et voila! Ten minutes later, my hair is actually worthy of being presented to the public.
Other things I love about Glamour Queen:
- It smells good. Think “shower fresh”.
- Its flexible hold makes it great for holding everyday hair styling.
- It’s a multi-purpose product: volumizing and setting hair spray.
- The spray nozzle is so much fun to spray. I’m not even kidding! It sprays a super fine mist so you never end up with too much product.
- It doesn’t weigh down my fine hair.
I probably only rave about 10% of hair products I use, and I am adding this to that 10%. This is a very versatile product that actually does what it says. It’s always a good hair day when I use my Glamour Queen. Rating: A+.
This looks promising! I don’t have time for a blow dry in the morning but I hope it works just as well on dry hair. Will have to check this out because I hate flat hair too.
Glad you like the Biore day moisturizer =)
It works as a flexible hold hairspray. I just use my hands to direct my hair when I use this. No brush needed.
I’ve been trying to do my hair long enough to know that I can’t for the life of me use a hair brush to blow dry.
I know what you mean about applying makeup being soothing – I’ve actually gotten lost in the process a couple times and have nearly been late! I’m so crap at doing my hair, I’ve had the same style for years – purposely messy, choppy and layered which calls for deliberate bed hair.

LOL right? I’m almost always late because of makeup.
My hair needs a chop stat!
Yey for people with fine limp hair! Heehee. When I was younger, I used to draw me with 7 strands of hair. Bounce and volume will always be an issue for me. hehe.
Thanks for the review! I’ll definitely be checking this out here.
Let’s hope it handles well in humid weather.

LOL aww 7 strands! That’s awesome.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to vouch for how this handles humidity because it’s very dry here right now. I think it should do just fine though.
Great review – haven’t come across this product before but sounds like a great concept if you can use it to both volumize and set. Not sure if I can live without my Kiehl’s Root Lifter though… that’s my holy grail volumizing product.

I don’t own any Kiehl’s (what’s wrong with me?), but I’m always up for trying out volumizing products. Thanks for the recommendation! My other favourite is Aveda Phomolient foam — it smells good too!
