OSiS + Just Add You is a recent collection by session stylist, educator and salon owner Chris Laird with the Schwarzkopf Professional team. We admire the creativity and confidence in this commercial collection. If you need ideas for hair looks that are undeniably gorgeous, look no further. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could try taking one of these pretty styles and adding a playful, unique touch. Whatever you’re feeling, there’s certainly a lot to inspire here. Below, Chris speaks about the importance of wearable, consumer-friendly collections.
Inspiration
Chris says, “For this collection, I wanted to draw on the ‘Just Add You’ element by representing and reimagining the real salon client. Alongside this we also included some aspirational looks, which people could bring to their stylists, encouraging them to switch up their day-to-day style. To me, that’s what OSIS is all about. It’s about empowering people to experiment with their personal style. Whether that is wanting to go completely wild and do something crazy or to just switch it up to something that is a little bit more fun. None of the finished looks are overly extra, or avant-garde as it was about creating a collection that people could really see themselves in as well as something that they could take inspiration from.”
