We have been swooning over our beloved wonder worker for years now, it has become a staple in many of our #PommeShell bathrooms, and for obvious reasons! There have been few products that compare and very few have rivalled the performance of the primer!
Over the past few years we have learned just how important the CORRECT products are for our hair, and it can be so overwhelming to decide what recommendations are right for our hair! When we launched the new Shu Uemura Essence Absolue All-In-Oil Hair Milk earlier this year, the question arose; how is this different from Shu Uemura Wonder Worker – Leave In Hair Primer and which one is best for my hair!?
Below you will find a breakdown of the pro’s and cons of BOTH products and how to determine exactly which one is best for your hair type!
Shu Uemura Wonder Worker – Leave In Hair Primer
