A process for preparing an organosilicon high condensation product having no silanol group in the terminal of the molecule the process comprising the two steps of (i) hydrolyzing a mixture of 5 to 95% by weight of an organosilicon compound represented by the formula (A) ##STR7## wherein R is C 1 -C 4 alkyl and 5 to 95% by weight of an organosilicon compound represented by the formula (B) R'Si(OR).sub.3 wherein R' is methyl, ethyl or phenyl and R is C 1 -C 4 alkyl in the presence of an acid catalyst at a pH of less than 6 at 20° C. to 10° C. for 0.5 to 10 hours and with the addition of 0.2 to 2 moles of water per mole of the RO group bonded to the Si group, and (ii) causing condensation reaction for 0.5 to 10 hours by adding an alkaline material to the reactin product to adjust its pH to 7 to 8.5.
