My Favorite Hair Products for a Salon Blowout Look

I know firsthand that it can be a struggle to find the right hair products that leave you with a just-out-of-the-salon look.

So many creams and sprays promise frizz-free, voluminous results but almost always turn out to be a major let down. I felt that way about a lot of styling products until I came across these picks from Shu Uemera. The brand creates some of the most high quality products that deliver noticeable improvements over time.

Whether you use their Overnight Hair Serum to restore the integrity of your strands or you apply their Universal Balm to keep flyaways at bay, I promise that this brand won’t let you down.

Lately, I’ve seen quite a few questions in my DMs about my blowout routine, so I thought I’d round up everything I use in one post. These styling picks will help you replicate my look without much hassle.

p.s. If you’re new to using a round brush while you blow dry your hair, I promise that it gets easier with practice!

The Best Hair Products for a Blowout Look

Shu Uemera Ultimate Reset Shampoo & Mask Set for Damaged Hair

Let’s start with the basics: Using a quality shampoo will make all the difference in the overall appearance and feel of your hair. I’m a big fan of this Reset Shampoo which was specifically designed to treat dryness and damage.

This set includes my favorite hair mask as well (ideal for hair with lots of heat damage), and it’s beautifully wrapped in a gift box.

Shu Uemera Izumi Tonic Strengthening Rice Water Treatment

If you’re looking for a product that essentially does it all (like add shine and volume while deeply nourishing), this Rice Water Treatment is it. After washing your hair, just spritz a bit of this onto your locks and style with a blow dryer and round brush.

Shu Uemera Essence Absolue Nourishing Overnight Hair Serum

I love a good overnight hair serum because it does all the heavy lifting while you score some shut-eye. This one is rich in antioxidants as well as vitamin A, C, and E to hydrate and enhance shine.

Before you go to bed, apply one to two pumps to the palms of your hands and distribute the product evenly from your mid-lengths to your ends. You can use a comb to go through and make sure you spread it evenly.

In the morning, simply style your hair as you’d like—no need to rinse. It really doesn’t get any easier than this!

Shu Uemera Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil

One non-negotiable in every haircare routine? A protective oil.

I’ve found that many hair oils can weigh your strands down or leave you looking a bit greasy. These are obviously big dealbreakers, so I was cautiously optimistic when I first tried this product.

The verdict: it’s lightweight and leaves my hair looking freshly washed. It also smells amazing and offers protection from UV-induced damage and heat up to 450°F—a win-win.

Shu Uemera Essence Absolue Nourishing Universal Balm

You might think that adding a hair balm into your regimen is unnecessary but I would argue that this product makes a world of a difference in how your style will turn out.

It’s a styling balm that nourishes and moisturizes hair while providing protection from heat. You can use it on damp hair before blow drying it or on dry hair to define shape and style.

This would be a great product to use if you frequently curl your hair and want it to maintain its shape.

Ultimate Reset Conditioner

I wanted to include the Shu Uemura Reset Hair Mask in this post because it has been one of my go-to products lately, but it’s currently out of stock.

This conditioner is a good alternative that I use on the regular.

The key ingredient is Japanese rice extract, which is packed with vitamins and minerals that work to prevent breakage and undo damage. It’s a little luxury that I always look forward to using come shower time.
