What if I do not know their hair type?
Choose something that works on anyone. Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale nourishes, adds shine and controls frizz on all hair types, and it doubles as heat protection when styling. It is the gift we would pick for a mum, a sister or a friend when you are guessing. Fresh Affair is the other safe option if they wash less often than they would like.

A quick tip from behind the chair: look at their hair before you buy. Light and bleached usually means blonde care. Puffy on a humid day means frizz care. Rough, straw-like ends mean dry hair care. If you still cannot tell, go with the oil or a gift voucher.
Kérastase gifts for dry hair
8H Magic Night Serum is an overnight leave-in for all types of dry hair, and it comes in a beautiful bottle. For a bigger gift, add the shampoo that suits their hair: Bain Satin for fine to medium hair, or Bain Satin Riche for thick hair. Either duo comes to $120.75.
Kérastase gifts for blondes
Blonde Guard is the newest leave-in in the Blond Absolu range. It protects lightened hair from heat, UV, chlorine and salt water, which makes it a very good Gold Coast gift. Pair it with Bain Lumière for a $111 duo.
Kérastase gifts for frizzy hair and shine
Glaze Drops is a lightweight shine oil for long, frizz-prone hair, with a precision dropper. Add Hydra-Glaze Illuminating Shampoo to make a $108 duo.
A luxury gift for someone special
Chronologiste is the one that feels like a treat before it is even opened. The Masque Intense Régénérant is a rich mask for hair showing signs of ageing such as dryness, dullness and loss of volume. With the Bain Régénérant it comes to $142.50.
Full routines over $200
These four-piece routines all pass the $200 mark, so standard shipping is free Australia-wide.

Should you give a hair-fall product as a gift?
Only if they have told you it is on their wish list. Thinning hair can be a sensitive subject, and a surprise Genesis serum under the tree may not land the way you hoped. If they have mentioned it, Genesis makes a thoughtful gift, and our Genesis hair fall guide explains what it does. If you are unsure, a voucher is the kinder choice.
When should I order for Christmas?
We ship online orders all through the Christmas period, so there is no last order date. If you need a gift to arrive by Christmas Day, order early. Standard shipping is free Australia-wide on orders over $200. Otherwise it is $14 standard (2 to 8 business days) or $18 express (1 to 5 business days), and click and collect from our Oxenford salon is free. Delivery times are estimates and couriers get busy in December, so leave plenty of room, or collect from our Oxenford salon.
