shu uemura art of hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Mask — Japanese Rice Extract for Very Damaged Hair, Deep Conditioning

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Mask is an intensive hair treatment formulated with Japanese rice extract to replenish, strengthen and reduce breakage and split ends in very damaged hair.

Inspired by traditional Japanese beauty rituals, this salon-grade mask uses rice extract rich in minerals, vitamins B and E, and antioxidants to deeply condition hair compromised by bleaching, coloring and heat styling. It works from the inside out to improve manageability, add softness and restore a healthy-looking surface without weighing hair down. The fragrance blends peach and orange blossom top notes with jasmine, ylang-ylang and warm base notes for a sensorial rinse-out experience.

How does this mask repair hair weakened by chemical and heat damage?

The formula targets strands that have lost moisture and elasticity by infusing essential nutrients from Japanese rice extract. It fills and seals damaged cuticles while improving hair’s tensile strength so strands are less prone to snapping during styling.

• Japanese-sourced rice extract delivers minerals, vitamins B and E, and antioxidants.
• Concentrated conditioning agents hydrate mid-lengths and ends where damage is most visible.
• Restores elasticity to reduce mechanical breakage and split ends.

When and how should I use the mask for best results?

Use weekly after shampooing on wet hair for an intensive repair boost. For deeper penetration, divide hair into sections, massage mask through mid-lengths and ends, twist away from the face and leave on for 5–10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

• Apply to freshly shampooed, towel-damp hair—avoid roots for balanced volume.
• Massage evenly and leave 5–10 minutes for optimal absorption.
• Rinse well and style as usual; repeat weekly or as needed based on damage level.

What visible benefits can I expect after regular use?

With repeated applications, hair appears softer, shinier and easier to detangle. The treatment helps minimize the look and feel of split ends while making hair more resilient to everyday styling stressors.

• Improved softness and slip for easier combing and reduced tangles.
• Enhanced shine and smoother surface appearance.
• Reduced breakage and fewer visible split ends over time.

Is the fragrance strong and what does it smell like?

The mask has a layered, aromatic scent profile—top notes of peach and orange blossom, floral mid notes of jasmine and geranium, and warm base notes like tonka bean and sandalwood. The fragrance is noticeable during application and rinses to leave a refined, lingering scent.

• Fruity-floral opening with a soft, warm base.
• Designed to complement the in-salon experience without overpowering.
• Leaves hair subtly scented after rinsing and drying.

Who is this for: Shu Uemura Art of Hair Ultimate Reset Extreme Repair Mask is formulated for people with very damaged, chemically treated or heat-stressed hair who want an intensive weekly treatment. It suits those seeking stronger, smoother, more manageable hair while preserving natural movement and shine.
