Shiseido Airy
Shiseido Airy brings together the Shiseido Professional Sublimic Airy Flow line: a shampoo, mask, treatment, and finishing oil built for unruly, frizz-prone hair. The shampoo and mask soften coarse strands while the sheer oil seals the cuticle for a lighter, more manageable finish. Bottles run from 250ml trial sizes up to 1000ml salon refills, so you can start small or stock a full routine at once.

Building a Shiseido Airy Flow routine for unruly hair
Airy Flow is Shiseido Professional's answer to coarse, frizz-prone hair that won't hold a style. The range covers the full routine, from a cleansing shampoo through to a leave-in sheer oil, so you can pick a single step or run the whole system depending on how much smoothing your hair needs.
Who Airy Flow is built for
Airy Flow targets hair that is naturally coarse, wavy, or prone to frizz and flyaways. If your hair feels heavy to detangle or puffs up in humidity, this is the line to reach for rather than a moisture-only shampoo aimed at dry ends.
Sublimic Airy Flow Shampoo
The shampoo is the first step and comes in 250ml, 500ml, and 1000ml bottles. Smaller bottles suit travel or a first try of the line, while the 1000ml size is meant for daily use over a full season without running out mid-routine.
Sublimic Airy Flow Mask
The 200g mask is a weekly or twice-weekly treatment applied after shampooing. It works on the mid-lengths and ends where hair tends to be roughest, and is meant to be rinsed out rather than left in like the oil.
Treatment for unruly hair (680ml)
The larger 680ml Mask for unruly hair is built for salon-style use or households running through the routine often. It targets the same coarse, frizz-prone texture as the standard mask but in a size meant to last through frequent applications.
Sheer Oil / Shear Oil finish
Both listed as "Sheer Oil" and "Shear Oil" in the catalog (same 100ml finishing oil), this step is applied to damp or dry hair after washing. It seals the cuticle to cut frizz and adds a lighter finish than a heavier oil treatment would.
Picking a bottle size
250ml suits a first try or a bathroom with limited shelf space. 500ml is the middle ground for regular single-person use. 1000ml and the 680ml mask size are built for households or salons going through product quickly, working out cheaper per use over time.
Suggested routine order
- Shampoo first to cleanse and prep the hair.
- Mask or treatment on towel-dried hair, focused on mid-lengths and ends.
- Rinse, then apply the sheer oil to damp or dry hair as the final smoothing step.

What's the difference between the Airy Flow mask and the unruly-hair treatment?
The standard mask comes in a 200g size for regular weekly use. The 680ml version is a larger treatment for unruly hair, aimed at frequent or salon-style use rather than occasional touch-ups.
How do I use the Airy Flow sheer oil?
Apply the 100ml sheer oil (listed as both Sheer Oil and Shear Oil) to damp or dry hair after washing, focusing on mid-lengths and ends, as the final step to smooth frizz and add shine.
What order should I use the Airy Flow products in?
Shampoo first, then the mask or treatment on towel-dried hair, followed by a rinse, and finish with the sheer oil applied to damp or dry hair.
Is Shiseido Airy Flow suitable for all hair types?
Airy Flow is formulated for coarse, wavy, or frizz-prone hair. If your hair is fine and already smooth, a lighter Shiseido Professional line may suit you better than this weight-focused range.
