Review: Best Hair Oil - EVER! - This oil is lightweight and soaks easily into the hair giving it protection from drying/styling devices and keeping it from frizzing in humid weather. I am able to use only this after washing/conditioning my hair and it keeps my hair supple and hydrated and smooth during and after my blow out. I get compliments on my hair all the time. (I use this hair oil and this bonding treatment conditioner: https://a.co/d/03qXi9o.) I have four different wave/curly textures of hair (from large S wave all the way to coils), and this one product allows me to really tame my hair and give it shine. I have blonde hair with some highlights that are growing out, and I have fine to medium hair strand thickness, so I need something that seals in moisture and keeps my hair from frizzing in the humidity while also protecting it and not weighing it down. This is PERFECT for that, and my blowouts last for DAYS. I only have to wash my hair 1-2 times per week between using this for blowouts and sometimes dry shampoo at the roots. (I use this natural dry shampoo which is amazing: https://a.co/d/40zSBcD.) Is this product "pricey" compared to some other products? Yes. But I have tried a ton of products, and this one delivers exactly what I need all in one - so I actually spend the same or less than having to use multiple products and buy them more often to get the same results I get with this one product. Even though the price has gone up in recent years, I will always use it before blow drying my hair. I also add a bit of it to the mid-lengths and ends whenever I want to hydrate and get more shine between washes. And if you are sensitive to smells like I am, you will probably like this since the smell is light and does eventually fade. I actually love the smell of this, which is a light floral scent, and that is a rare occurrence. If I could give this ten stars, I would. Review: Silky, smooth, and unscented - This product is absolutely phenomenal! I know it’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it. I have thicker more coarse hair and it smooth and shines it perfectly! And the best part about the product, is there is barely a scent. I really have become very particular to smells, and I don’t like coconut, argon, any floral scents , this is barely noticeable. So happy I found it! ## Features - - Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil: A luxurious, lightweight formula with Japanese red camellia oil that hydrates, softens, and reduces frizz while adding shine and protecting against heat up to 450°F - - Benefits: Infused with red camellia oil, this lightweight formula hydrates, softens, reduces frizz, and enhances shine - - Additional Benefits: Protects against heat up to 450°F, UV damage, and breakage, ideal for on-the-go touch-ups and intense conditioning - - Suggested Use: Apply one to two pumps into palms and distribute throughout mid-lengths and ends of dry or towel-dried hair.

I have thicker more coarse hair and it smooth and shines it perfectly! And the best part about the product, is there is barely a scent. I really have become very particular to smells, and I don’t like coconut, argon, any floral scents , this is barely noticeable. So happy I found it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best hair oil ever *by H***R on May 11, 2026* Wow. Just wow. I’ve had TWO different hairdressers tell me that I have the finest hair they’ve ever seen. As a result, I have never been able to find a good oil that my hair can absorb. Until now, that is. This stuff is truly the nectar of the gods. It makes my hair smooth, soft, and most importantly, *it actually feels thicker*! Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s absolutely worth it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil - Lightweight Multi-Benefit Hair Oil, Hydrates, Adds Shine, and Reduces Frizz, With Japanese Camellia Oil, For All Hair Types - shu uemura art of hair Essence Absolue Nourishing Cream - Protects Against Heat Damage and UV, Hydrates and Smooths, For All Hair Types, 5 Fl Oz - shu uemura art of hair Izumi Tonic Strengthening & Thickening Rice Water Treatment - Leave-In Hair Treatment, Hydrates and Repairs Damaged Hair, With Japanese Rice Water --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/568413274-essence-absolue-oil-for-all-hair-types](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/568413274-essence-absolue-oil-for-all-hair-types) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
