Kérastase for Hair Fall

Genesis is made for hair fall due to breakage. It reinforces the fibre so hair is less likely to snap, and Genesis Serum Anti-Chute Fortifiant helps anchor the fibre more firmly at the root. It does not treat medical hair loss and no shampoo or serum regrows hair. Hair that falls suddenly or in patches needs a different kind of attention, so please see your GP. For ongoing thinning, book in and we will look at your scalp and hair in person.

Apply Genesis Serum Anti-Chute Fortifiant once a day, morning or night, over a six-week period. Use four doses (a pipette filled to the mark is one dose) on a dry or towel-dried scalp, section by section, and do not rinse. It contains Aminexil, ginger root extract and caffeine. Consistency matters more than quantity, so tie it to something you already do each day. For men, Genesis Homme Sérum uses three doses a day over six weeks. Apply it before styling, give it a minute, then add your clay.

Breakage often starts after the wash. Squeeze water out with a towel instead of rubbing, and detangle from the ends up with a wide-tooth comb. Condition before you comb: Genesis Fondant Renforçateur needs the full two to three minutes on the mid-lengths and ends. Thin hair can use Masque Reconstituant two to three times a week, and on thick hair it can replace conditioner. If you blow-dry, Genesis Thermique protects up to 220°C. Lower heat for a little longer is kinder to weakened hair than a fast, hot blast.

Densifique Bain Densité strengthens each strand so hair looks and feels thicker after every wash. Two short washes beat one long one, and keep conditioner off the roots. For men, Genesis Homme Bain de Masse with Cire d'Épaisseur Texturisante gives an instant thickening effect, and a lukewarm rinse keeps hair from looking flat. See Densifique and Genesis Homme.
