Kérastase

Is Kérastase worth the price?

Yes, Kérastase can be worth the money if you pick products that match your actual hair needs. As a luxury haircare brand, Kérastase focuses on targeted formulas rather than a one-size-fits-all routine, so you spend on what your hair needs most instead of doubling up.

Start with a shampoo and conditioner for your main concern, and maybe add just one targeted mask, serum or oil if you need it. If you're unsure, ask a Hairhouse stylist to help you choose the best options.

Which Kérastase range is right for my hair concern?

Finding the right Kérastase range comes down to zeroing in on what your hair is going through right now. Whether you’re dealing with dryness, breakage, frizz, thinning or scalp issues, each line is tailored for specific results.

Here’s a quick guide to help you find your best match:

• For dry hair, Kérastase Nutritive deeply hydrates, while Kérastase Résistance and Première repair breakage and badly damaged hair.
• For curly hair or frizzy hair, Kérastase Curl Manifesto boosts moisture and definition, while Gloss Absolu helps smooth rough, unruly lengths.
• For thinning hair, Densifique adds thickness and body, while Genesis focuses on reducing hair fall from breakage. Genesis Homme gives men a targeted option for weakened hair.
• For blonde hair, Blond Absolu hydrates while keeping brassiness away, while Kérastase Chroma Absolu protects colour-treated hair that needs softness and shine.
• For scalp care, Kérastase Symbiose treats dandruff, while Spécifique helps rebalance an oily or sensitive scalp.
• If you heat style, always use a heat protectant like Nutritive Nectar Thermique, Genesis Défense Thermique or Résistance Ciment Thermique before applying hot tools.

Which Kérastase shampoo is best for me?

The best Kérastase shampoo is the one that matches what your hair needs most after washing. If your hair feels dry, flat, brassy or colour-faded, start there. This helps you avoid a shampoo that’s too rich, too light or aimed at the wrong concern.

Here’s a cheat sheet to help you find your best starting point:

• For dry hair, Nutritive Bain Satin gently cleanses while making your lengths feel much softer.
• For blonde hair, Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière deeply hydrates, while Bain Ultra-Violet neutralises unwanted brassy tones.
• For thinning or fine hair, Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité adds noticeable volume without weighing down your strands.
• For colour-treated hair, Chroma Absolu Bain Chroma Respect delivers a gentle cleanse that protects your shade while boosting softness and shine.

Is Kérastase sulphate-free?

No, Kérastase isn't entirely sulphate-free, but they offer plenty of gentle choices across ranges like Première, Chroma Absolu, Curl Manifesto and Discipline. Just check individual product labels to find your match, or chat with our team, as our Hairhouse stock can change.

Try switching to a sulphate-free shampoo if you have colour-treated, dry or over-processed hair, as it helps hold onto your natural moisture. Ultimately, your best match always comes down to what your specific hair and scalp need.

Do you use Kérastase Genesis Serum on wet or dry hair?

You can use Kérastase Genesis Serum Anti-Chute Fortifiant on either dry or towel-dried hair. This lightweight scalp serum is made for hair prone to hair fall from breakage, using Aminexil and ginger root to help strengthen your roots. Consistent use makes for a great scalp treatment without adding extra time to your routine.

Here are a few handy tips to make the application super easy:

1. Apply the serum directly onto your scalp rather than your lengths.
2. Work in sections so you can spread it evenly across your whole scalp.
3. Massage it in gently with your fingertips to help it absorb.
4. Leave it in with no rinsing required and style your hair as usual.
5. Stick with it daily for the recommended six-week program to see the best results.
