How to Use the Shu Uemura Izumi Tonic & Essence Absolue Routine
Step 1: Strengthen & Prepare
Izumi Tonic — Strengthening Rice Water Treatment
Spray Izumi Tonic evenly on wet or towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
Comb through to distribute the product evenly.
Do not rinse.
Proceed to air-dry or blow-dry as desired.
This leave-in rice water treatment helps strengthen hair, reduce breakage, and enhance smoothness while adding lightweight hydration and shine.
Step 2: Nourish, Protect & Perfect
Essence Absolue — Universal Hair Oil for Softness and Shine
As a Pre-Styling Heat Protectant:
Apply 1–2 pumps throughout towel-dried hair before blow-drying or heat styling. This provides heat protection up to 450°F (230°C) and shields hair from frizz and dryness.
As a Finishing Oil:
After styling, apply 1–2 pumps to mid-lengths and ends to nourish, smooth, and add shine for a polished, radiant finish.
For Daily Hydration:
Apply to dry lengths and ends anytime your hair needs an extra boost of moisture, manageability, or nourishment.
For Styling Enhancement:
Mix (or haigo) Essence Absolue with your favorite styling products to create a custom blend that enhances texture, softness, and shine while protecting hair from environmental stressors.
