Throughout my years of doing hair one of the most common issues my clients have struggled with is managing an oily scalp with dry dehydrated ends. What often happens and this makes the issue worse instead of being a remedy, is shampooing daily with cleansers that tend to be too clarifying and making the ends become even more unmanageable and dehydrated.
Shu Uemura has just launched “Cleansing Oil Shampoo” an oil based shampoo that has been working out to be a great solution. How this works is the oil base of the shampoo actually attracts the oil from your scalp to help rebalance and give a thorough cleanse without stripping all the essential oils that you need to help keep your hair soft, supple and voluminous.
It still is important to treat dry and dehydrated ends separately. The ends need to be protected from heat such as blow-dryers, irons and everyday environmental hazards like UV rays. One of my favorite products that should be essential for almost every client with mid-length hair and longer and any type of chemically treated hair is the “Essenence Absolue” also from Shu Uemura. This multiuse elixir is for all hair types. Not only does it smooth and soften the ends it also nourishes, moisturizes and has UV protection while giving a high gloss weightless shine.
