Supermodel and Rose Inc. founder Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may seem like an actual goddess, but just like us mere mortals she’s not immune to unpleasant postpartum side effects, namely brittle hair and hair loss. In a video on the Rose Inc. site, Huntington-Whiteley shared her favorite products for healthy hair. Among them is one of her “all-time favorites,” Shu Uemura’s Essence Absolue Overnight Hair Serum, a hair sensation we can’t get enough of ourselves.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley “really, really recommends” Shu Uemura
The model explains she’s used the serum for “several years,” and credits it for rebuilding her hair back to its “bouncy and soft form” after the birth of her son. “My hair was just so brittle and it kept breaking and I had these, like, weird layers that were like pieces that were falling off,” she explained. Shu Uemura’s “nourishing, taming overnight serum” built back her hair’s “strength and integrity” when it needed it most.
Even now Huntington-Whiteley describes her air-dried hair as “stringy and crispy and dry.” “If I don’t have time to dry my hair in the evening I like to apply [Essence Absolue Overnight Hair Serum] through the roots, tie it back into a tight bun and go to bed,” she said. Come morning it makes her hair feel “tamed and nourished and full” and leaves a “beautiful shine.” The supermodel’s praise continues: “It’s doing the work for you overnight.”
The star ingredient doing all that work is Japanese red camellia oil, a fast-absorbing oil rich in essential lipids. According to the brand, camellia oil promotes shine and nourishes hair while maintaining the lipid barrier on the skin to promote a healthier scalp. To use, apply mid-lengths to ends at night. It’s “pillow-safe,” per the brand, and won’t compromise color-treated hair.
