There's a whole new approach to hair as of late- more of a skincare approach. There are more serums & oils on the market that sound just like they would belong in your normal skincare regimen. In the past, the focus has been on the ends- but now that's shifted. Because the hair at the end is dead, the way to improve the overall quality of your hair is by treating it at the scalp.
Though I've used many of Kerastase's serums on my hair, often it's from
mid shaft to the ends. Initialiste is literally a scalp treatment first
& foremost - which made me hesitant, as my hair at the roots is rather
oily. The serum however is much different from the Oleo Relax or
treatments oils I've used from them in the past. It has a light watery texture & shockingly helped my
hair look less greasy, with more volume at the roots on the nights I
skipped a shampoo- so go figure. I don't know if I've seen results to
warrant $60, when due to this product's texture I use way more
of it versus their oil based serums. With their oils, one pump goes a long way in a 4.7 ounce bottle. Initialiste is only 2.2 ounces, it's a nice product- but the jury's still out on whether I'd purchase it again.
Peace. Love. Lipgloss.
So I've never been much of a hair product girl- I know that's shocking. Actually, let me clarify: I buy tons of hair styling products, tools & the occasional bump it- but nothing works. My hair is fine, though I have a lot of it. But as I'm getting older & I've spotted the occasional *gasp* grey hair, I've been focusing on hair health. I do a hair mask every Sunday night, as my hair is pretty long. I also put protective product in my hair before blow drying or straight ironing it. But there's a new weapon in my arsenal. My hairdresser, the fabulous Erin of Fraiche Studio has been adding these high tech vials by Kerastase called Fusio-Dose to my salon visit. Completely customizable depending on the state of my hair, this go around she choose the Concentre Sunstantif (purple vial) to improve my hair elasticity & the Booster Ceramide (green cap) to strengthen my hair fiber. After shampooing, she applies the formula & combs it through- letting it sit for 5 minutes. She then rinses it & styles it. The result is seriously healthy feeling hair. Yes, the Kerastase line has always overwhelmed me a bit, but when these two pieces attach the perfect cocktail results. Also since I don't speak French, I've now gotten a grasp on the color group breakdown of the line: Pink=Color Protection, Orange=Nourishment for Dry Hair, Green= Strengthening & Purple=Density/Thickening. I must say, Kerastase is like skincare for hair!
