shu uemura art of hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Shampoo for very dry, damaged hair — Japanese rice extract, color-safe

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Shampoo is a gentle, intensive repairing shampoo formulated with Japanese rice extract to cleanse, deeply hydrate and strengthen very dry, chemically or heat-damaged hair while protecting color.

This sulfate-light formula blends traditional Japanese rice extract with modern hair science to restore weakened fibers without weighing strands down. It removes buildup and impurities while delivering concentrated moisture and amino-rich nourishment that improves manageability, reduces breakage and helps prevent split ends. The shampoo is safe for color-treated hair and suitable for repeated use during a focused repair routine.

How will this shampoo improve very dry, chemically treated hair?

The formula targets compromised areas along the shaft, replenishing moisture and reinforcing the hair’s internal structure. Regular use reduces friction and tangling, which decreases mechanical breakage during brushing and styling.

• Japanese rice extract delivers conditioning lipids and amino acids to strengthen strands
• Hydrating agents restore softness without heavy residue
• Gentle cleansing removes oils and product buildup that mask shine

Can I use it on color-treated or highlighted hair?

Yes — the gentle cleansing system is formulated to be safe for color-treated hair and helps preserve color vibrancy while repairing damage from chemical services. It won’t strip dye the way harsher sulfates can.

• Color-safe surfactants cleanse without aggressive fading
• Strengthening rice extract reduces future breakage that dulls color
• Maintains manageability so styling preserves color tone

How should I use the shampoo for best repair results?

Use on wet hair, massaging thoroughly into scalp and lengths to lift impurities and allow the active ingredients to penetrate. For very damaged hair, shampoo twice and follow with a nourishing conditioner or mask from the Ultimate Reset range for deeper replenishment.

• Apply to wet hair, massage, rinse; repeat if hair is heavily soiled or very dry
• Pair with Ultimate Reset conditioner or mask for targeted rebuilding
• Use consistently, especially after chemical or heat styling, for progressive repair

What kind of improvement can I expect and how quickly?

Visible softness and reduced surface tangling often appear after a few washes; structural strengthening and fewer split ends develop with continued use. Results vary by damage level, but the formula is designed for both immediate smoothing and cumulative repair.

• Immediate: cleaner, softer-feeling hair and improved manageability
• Short term: less breakage when brushing and styling
• Long term: strengthened fibers and reduced formation of new split ends

Who is this for: Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Shampoo is made for people with dry, very damaged hair caused by bleaching, chemical services, heat styling or environmental stress. It suits anyone seeking a gentle, color-safe repair shampoo that combines traditional Japanese botanicals with modern strengthening technology — ideal for committed repair routines and those wanting to protect their color while rebuilding hair health.
