Shu Uemura Art Of Hair have shared their salon secrets with us so that you can get the ultimate voluminous look - no matter the density of your strands!

Shu Uemura are well known for their expertise in obtaining unique, rare and natural ingredients which elevate hair care & artistry to new heights!

1. Use a lightweight shampoo and conditioner

The most important step in developing a routine for fine hair is finding the right shampoo and conditioner. When it comes to thin hair or fine hair, avoid heavy products that will weigh your hair down. For volume and body, use a lightweight formula that will thicken fine hair. Shu Uemura’s Muroto Volume shampoo and conditioner have both been specifically developed for fine hair.

2. Avoid tangled hair with a deep conditioning hair mask

Volumizing products can often leave hair feeling dry and overworked, resulting in easily tangled hair. And let’s face it, we’ll accept the occasional backcombing moment but a bird’s nest is not what we need. Avoid getting your locks in a twist by keeping your hair moisturized and conditioned and using a deep conditioning hair mask once or twice a week. To avoid weighing your hair down, look for a hair mask with a lightweight formula. The Muroto Volume Lightweight Care Masque infuses fine hair with long-lasting hair volume, lightweight conditioning, a weightless lift and the nourishment of a deep conditioning hair treatment.

3. Don’t be afraid of mousse

We’re not talking dark chocolate or strawberry here of course - it’s all about the hair and using a volumizing hair mousse can do wonders for the finest of hair strands. Volumizing hair mousse is guaranteed to give hair the boost it needs, by instantly adding lift at the root, creating volume and body throughout the hair. The key to avoiding heavy product buildup that will weigh your fine hair down is choosing a hair mousse that is lightweight and does not leave a crunchy residue. Awa Volume Hair Mousse leaves a weightless silky finish, smooth touch and added body from root to tip by vitalizing the hair fibre. Great for air dry styling, voluminous blowouts and bedhead hair.

4. Blow dry your hair upside down

Add instant volume to your hair by simply flipping your head while you blow dry. Blow drying your hair upside down will add instant volume to the root and create a natural lift in the hair. To seal in your style, finish your blow-out by setting your hair with Kumo Hold Hair Spray to lock in volume and long-lasting body all day.

5. Add body with a texturizing spray

Whether you prefer heat styling or air-dry styling, Muroto Volume Hydro-Texturizing Hair Mist thickens fine hair by providing texture and volume while keeping a natural look and enhancing natural movement. Hydro-Texturizing Hair Mist is infused with Shu Uemura’s precious ingredient depsea water that helps shape natural waves with a moveable finish. Depsea water is drawn from two-hundred meters beneath the seas of Japan and is a rich source of essential minerals and nutrients that provide ultimate purity and hydration.
