[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It makes my hair feel silky smooth and I love the subtle scent. I’ve tried other hair oils and they are too fragrant and give me a massive headache. This oil feels more like a gloopy gel than an oil, so a little goes a long way. Overall I like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Didn’t expect to actually like a hair oil. I have fine thin hair but it’s often frizzy. This oil does everything and more and I’m fully obsessed. My hair is not only soft and shiny it leaves no residue whatsoever and my hair feels as light and not oily as it does without it on.

No scalp itching.
This is the first hair oil I’ve tried that doesn’t cause my scalp to itch. I wear my hair very short, almost buzzed, that tends to frizz. Many hair oils I’ve tried, and I’ve tried way too many, helped with the frizz, but then there was the scalp itch. On my hair, this particular oil stops the frizz, adds a lovely shine and softness, doesn’t look oily, and doesn’t cause itching. My quest for a hair oil has ended.

Perfection
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely beautiful product. So lightweight, almost dry, but it does exactly what you need. Softens just enough without removing texture and a pretty subtle shine. I’ve tried on damp hair before styling as well as on dry as last product, both are nice, but I prefer as the last product in my styling routine. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but a little bit is all you need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been using Gisou and Moroccan oil or ever and thought all oils made my hair greasy - especially the shorter front pieces. I have thin/fine hair so thought I was just not a hair oil girlie bc even a drop made my hair stringy. This one is so good??? Adds shine and a bit of frizz control, very light and nice smell too! Not at all greasy!! I think has helped my ends stay moistened too. Great product!

Give it a try
I have tried many other oils and they have always been too heavy on my fine hair regardless of their claims. I thought I would never be able to use a product like this but I kept searching because I’m in the process of restoring my hair following an illness. This is literally the only oil I can use that does not weigh my hair down or make it look greasy. It is pricey but does last a long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hair oil is one of the best I have used. It adds shine and makes my hair look and feel healthier without weighing it down. As someone who bleaches their hair, this product makes it feel amazing and gives it extra protection, which is important to me. I normally curl my hair and have struggled with oils weighing them down and straightening them out. I have not had that problem with this one—my curls remain bouncy and shiny. Overall, I love it and highly recommend it.

Great Hair Product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am highly impressed! The product has worked so well for my dry/brittle hair! I apply it to towel dried hair as well as in the mornings(because my hair is so dry)...it makes my hair feel like when I leave the salon! My hair is much easier to brush and style. It makes my hair feel so soft! I would definitely recommend this product. I will be purchasing again once I run out of this bottle!

I love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great after shower on wet or dry hair, just a bit in your hand to smooth and add great clean scent to dried out parched strands.
Feels soft and smells great!

First Hair Oil That I Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shu Uemura shared this product in exchange for an honest review. To be honest, I was a little nervous to try the hair oil because this was not a product type that has worked for me in the past. Well, this product completely changed my view on hair oils! I applied the product each time after washing my hair when my hair was damp but not soaked. The first thing I noticed was the amazing smell--this could be a pro or con for some people, but I suspect it is less of an issue for people since it is going on the hair and not the skin. I can only describe the smell being like an expensive French skin care product--smells "natural" for being scented, not like it is trying to smell like something with a bunch of synthetic additives. The smell wasn't heavy and didn't linger. When I first started using I applied only the tiniest amount because oils can make my hair greasy BUT after a few times I was using the correct amount. Absolutely NO greasiness. Instead, the oil left my hair shiny and bouncy. Genuinely one of my favorite hair products. I know it is on the higher end of price points, but I feel it is completely reasonable given the quality and amount (should last awhile) of product you get.

Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received it from Bzz agent. I've tried it for 1 month to have the honest review. So far, it is good product. Suitable for fine hair. Moisture and add shine immediately. However, it's not strong enough for damage hair.

Decent hair oil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The oil is pretty good, doesn't leave your hair greasy at all and you don't need too much of it. I have long hair to the middle of my back and 1 pump rubbed between my hands and then into my hair was enough. 4 stars because I wish it had a nice scent to leave my hair smelling nice. It's pretty much unscented.

Amazing hair oil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't think I'd love this hair oil as much as I do. It has no scent and instantly shines and smooths my hair. I was originally using Paul Mitchell super skinny and this definitely has replaced it. A little oil goes along ways, definitely worth the money.

Sleek straight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wavy/curly hair & this oil is great for achieving that sleek straight hair look without any freeze. It also works well applying it after washing my hair when i want to wear my natural waves/curls out. Just know that a little can go a long way if your hair tends to get oily fast.

A New Staple in My Hair Routine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free in return for my honest review. This Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil is a new staple to my hair care routine. I use this product on my hair while wet and then blow dry it. It makes it feel soft and luxurious and smell great. I like that it takes frizz and flyaways. It also protects against heat. It can be used before or after a shampoo. It can be rinsed out or left as a styling treatment. It is so versatile.

Luxurious oil
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shu uemura products are minimalist in their luxury. The oil is in a clear plastic pump bottle so it was easy to dispense. There was a light pleasant scent and the product immediately absorbed into my hair after a shower. It left it soft but not weighed down.

Left my hair shiny and soft!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the shu uemura hair oil. It has a really light and luxurious fragrance, just barely noticeable but makes your hair smell great. The oil itself is lightweight, not heavy like other hair oils I've used before. A few drops in your hands go a long way! Worked much better on dry/semi damp hair. I used it just for a day out with natural dry hair, as well as a protective oil before using heat tools. I live in Denver and my hair can get super dry especially in fall/winter, so looking forward to continuing to use this product. Overall made my hair super brushable, light, and feels healthier!

I've fallen in love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this hair oil as apart of a company campaign & I feel so lucky to have been sent this product! This hair oil is now my favorite product for heat protection, added shine, and battling frizzy hair. The scent is so pleasantly subtle, soft, & natural. I honestly can't stand artificial scents in just about anything. The price of the product is high however with the amount of product you receive it's justified, I can see this hair oil lasting me a 1-2 years! I can't wait to try other products from Shu Uemura.

Highly recommended
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from bzz agent for my honest review. Amazing hair oil! I love how silky smooth and shiny it leaves my hair. My hair tangles less and has nice faint smell from using the oil. I alway make sure to apply after I'm am done styling my hair and apply pea size amount. The product does not leave my hair greasy at all.
