Shu Uemura Art Of Hair ~ Review

Thin hair, do care. This post is for those of us who weren't gifted with a perfectly full head of hair. My hair is painfully thin, straight and lifeless. I don't just want volume; I need all the volume!

I've been using some hair products from Shu Uemura Art Of Hair for the last few weeks and I'm impressed! My thin hair has volume, lift and bounce. But what sets this brand apart is how my hair feels. I've found that many products for volume tend to leave my hair feeling filmy and looking dull. With Shu's products my hair feels clean, looks shiny and has volume. Total score!

"Pure lightness shampoo for fine hair with no paraben & no silicone. Gently purifies while respecting the balance of the scalp. With himalayan crystal minerals, the formula provides lightweight conditioning. Hair feels fuller, light and airy. The New Muroto Volume formula fortifies the hair fiber with essential minerals for long-lasting volume without burdening the hair for weightless lift and movement." /source/

Shu Uemura Muroto Volume Pure Lightness Shampoo (300ml, $46) is housed in a sleek looking bottle and it has a very light (almost nonexistent) fragrance to it. This shampoo doesn't create much lather; but it gets my hair clean. It leaves my fine hair feeling hydrated and weightless which is a big deal! After rinsing my hair I apply Shu Uemura's Muroto Volume Pure Lightness Conditioner.

Shu Uemura Muroto Volume Pure Lightness Conditioner (250ml, $56) comes with a pump and I love that! It has a light fragrance and a little goes a long way. The texture is thin, yet it coats every strand leaving my hair feeling hydrated. Once rinsed, my hair is conditioned, easy to comb through and not at all weighed down. When dry my hair has so much life, but why stop there? With a little bit of help from Shu Uemura's styling products, I can really amp up the volume! 

"Wonder-Worker Natural look perfector for a flawless touch. Ideal for the on-the-go styling leaving hair treated and protected with an efforless look." /source/

Shu Uemura Wonder-Worker  Air Dry/Blow Dry Perfector (150ml, $42) is a versatile spray that can be used on towel-dried hair that will be air-dried or blow-dried. When I've used it without the blow dryer, my hair has some lift that looks natural. It's bouncy and soft and I love it! When I blow dry my hair I see a lot of volume plus I get some hold as well. I find that with the help of hairspray, it will hold pretty much all day (unless it's humid outside). This multi-tasker is a game changer for me - I will be using it for years to come!

"Invisible Texturizing Powder brush for instant texturized hairstyles : made-to-measure volume, root lift, long-lasting blow-dry" /source/ 

Shu Uemura Volume Maker Invisible Texturizing Powder (2g, $50) is a texturizing powder that comes enclosed in a tube with an attached brush. To use it, you simply push the button on the end so that the powder is released into the brush; then you brush the powder onto your hair. I like the concept, however, I find that the powder gets lost in the bristles. The powder itself is amazing, it adds lots of texture and volume, but I would prefer to have the powder in a shaker-style container to maximize the efficacy and to avoid wastage. The one benefit to having it in this slim brush is that it's easily portable; I can take it with me to touch up my hair should I need to (and since it's summer I need to do that a lot).

This is a side view of my hair after using Shu Uemura Art Of Hair; minus my fading pink ombre, my hair looks pretty darn good!
