Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Shampoo, Conditioner & Mask: A Worthy Splurge for Hair in Need of TLC

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

If you have dry, very dry, chemically treated or damaged hair, or know someone who does, then read on. If not, the Shu Uemura The Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Collection products aren't likely going to offer many benefits to your hair, but if you have any of these hair issues to contend with, then this is a range that should be on your radar. It is undoubtedly very expensive, as is the case with ultra-luxurious brands, but it has made quite a difference in the appearance of my dry, naturally curly color-treated hair. 

I have used these three products for about 8 years, and while I do not use them every single day, I reach for them whenever my hair needs extra TLC. It therefore takes me quite a long time to use up these three products, and I always try to purchase them when they are on sale, I have a gift card, or I have points I can cash in. 

Rice Extract is the key ingredient used in the Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Collection, and according to Shu Uemura Art of Hair,

For centuries, Japanese women have looked to rice for its immense beautifying powers. Referred to as “nuka biji”, or “beautiful by the rice” Japanese women cherish rice’s ability to hydrate and protect the hair. Enriched with minerals, antioxidants, and B and E vitamins, rice is renowned for its protecting and moisture retaining properties. Harvested in Hyogo, Japan, our rice of the highest polished quality, raised by an eco-friendly duck-cultivation system which maintains purity and ensures maximum natural benefits.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Shampoo ($56.00 for 300ml / 10 oz from Sephora, Shu Uemura Art of Hair and Amazon): Ultimate Reset Shampoo is a restoration shampoo that is specifically formulated for ultra-damaged hair. It gently cleanses, without stripping the hair or scalp, and without weighing down the hair or leaving it greasy. It rinses clean and leaves hair feeling nourished and hydrated. The shampoo has a pleasant fragrance, but it doesn't linger for very long, and I do not smell it in my hair once it has dried.

I just discovered a wonderful haircare brand, Organic Essentials (OE), that makes lovely cruelty-free and vegan products that are effective, a treat to the senses and a joy to use. 

About OE,

Our journey began with our founder who envisioned an affordable, natural, organic hair care formula suitable for all hair types. Over the years, it became abundantly clear that money did not necessarily guarantee quality products that nurtured and nourished one’s hair. With the ethos of sourcing all natural, organic ingredients and with the ideology that no hair type is beyond help, our founder began testing and experimenting with different ingredient blends to ensure a product that was exactly what it claimed to be – vegan, organic, clean and transformational.

All of our ingredients are sourced from micro farmers around the world. The majority of our sourcing and manufacturing however, takes place in Southeast Asia in our continual attempts to obtain the purest of ingredients and process them as close to the source as possible. Taking a different route from conventional wisdom, our shampoo does not rely on chemically cleaning your hair. Rather, our collection of complimentary products seek to nurture and strengthen hair follicles from roots to ends. With staples such as Coconut, Ginseng extract, Hydrolyzed Wheat protein, Argan oil and a multitude of healthy seed and oil extracts scientifically proven to improve scalp and hair health, we aim to deliver top quality products to you in the convenience of your own home.

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have recently started using Lee Stafford haircare products, and am quite impressed by their efficacy and affordability. Before I tell you about their Scalp Love Anti-Breakage Shampoo & Conditioner, I wanted to tell you about the brand and their cruelty-free declaration.

About Lee Stafford,

Lee Stafford launched in Boots in the UK in 2001. Known as the ‘the pink brand’ the range featured bold and quirky packaging with a barcode on the front of pack, some very unusual writing and quirky product names. The brand instantly got attention!

Lee Stafford Scalp Love Anti-Breakage Shampoo ($14.59 for 16.9 oz. from Sally Beauty): This exfoliating shampoo removes product buildup from the hair and scalp. It effectively removed dead skin cells from the scalp, but it does this gently without irritating my skin, or leaving it dry and itchy. Surprisingly, you would think that an exfoliating shampoo would strip the hair and scalp, but what is brilliant about this one is the fact that it actually hydrates the scalp and hair rather than dehydrating and stripping them. This shampoo produces a satisfying lather, and it has a pleasant light aroma that quickly fades away. It leaves behind no residue and leaves hair and scalp clean and ready for the conditioner.

According to Lee Stafford,

Tackle scalp issues head on with Lee Stafford Scalp Love Anti Hair-Loss Thickening Shampoo, a sulphate free, exfoliating shampoo powered by skincare ingredients to give extra care to sensitive scalps.

Formulated with Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein plus exfoliating Glycolic Acid, get ready to clear the way for stronger, healthier hair*. *When used as a regime with the Lee Stafford Scalp Love Conditioner & Tonic.

Lee Stafford Directions & Tips:

1) Squeeze Lee Stafford Scalp Love Anti Hair-Loss Thickening Shampoo onto wet hair, massaging the scalp to gently clean without stripping moisture. Double cleanse to make sure you get rid of all product build up (this can weigh roots down).

2) Follow up with the super nourishing Lee Stafford Scalp Love Anti Hair-Loss Thickening Conditioner from root to tip. To give the scalp a moisturising treat, leave on for three minutes before rinsing out.

3) After gently towel drying hair, spray 8-10 pumps of Lee Stafford Scalp Love Anti Hair-Loss Thickening Leave-In Treatment onto roots, massaging into the scalp and through hair. This helps to stimulate hair follicles, supporting hair growth. Comb through and style as normal for full, voluminous-looking hair.

Vegamour makes high quality haircare products, or as they assert, "hair wellness products." They select ingredients that are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. They have a nice variety of collections, but I have tested the Vegamour GRO Collection which is formulated to accelerate growth and to treat thinning hair. While I had never experienced hair thinning before the pandemic, I did notice that there was more hair in my drain after shampooing and conditioning than I had experienced before Covid. This was during the beginning and middle of the pandemic and it was either attributed to stress, or possibly that I had Covid before we had tests to make that determination. I had read about some people shedding more hair after testing positive, and it is entirely possible that is what happened to me.
