This shampoo was designed specifically to address thin hair by gently cleansing and strengthening it to help prevent hair-fall, as well as increasing its density for a fuller and healthier mane.
This thickening shampoo contains gluco peptides to thicken strands from root to tip, leaving them stronger and denser from root to tip. Plus, there’s other beneficial components like hyaluronic acid and ceramides added for good measure!
1. Avoid Sulfate-Containing Shampoos
Ocean water can be harsh on hair and skin – so it comes as no surprise that its high salt concentration can also have adverse effects. Sulfates found in most mass market shampoos contain surfactants which reduce surface tension between your shampoo and scalp or skin, helping it do its job of cleaning away dirt and oil more effectively.
But this process can also cause dryness and brittleness, particularly for fine hair. Sulfates also strip natural oils away from your scalp and hair strands, leaving your locks dull and lifeless.
Opt for a sulfate-free shampoo such as Act+Acre’s Bain Densite to effectively cleanse your locks without making them feel heavy or dry. Coco-glucoside acts as an alternative to sulfates by extracting impurities without stripping the natural oils of your scalp’s strands.
2. Avoid Alcohols
Alcohols found in many hair products are drying, which can be particularly problematic for fine strands. Although alcohols are used as an emulsifier to combine oil and water in formulas, when it comes to fine hair strands they should be avoided altogether for best results.
Consider opting for the Kerastase Bain Fluidealiste instead, a shampoo free from drying alcohols which will leave your strands silky smooth and frizz-free.
Kerastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant shampoo can also be a great option to strengthen thin and fine locks, gently clarifying and reinforcing fiber to reduce hair-fall caused by breakage. Perfect for fine or thin locks looking to strengthen them!
3. Avoid Castor Oil
Hair growth booster, melanin pigment formation increases, leading to darker and healthier locks and delaying premature greying. Highly humectant, it prevents dryness and brittleness while locking in moisture for soft, manageable locks.
However, regular application of castor oil may lead to hair loss. Therefore, if you want thicker locks, avoid it! In its place, opt for hair oils such as jojoba, olive, or argan oil; these lightweight options won’t leave your locks feeling greasy and help avoid chemical build-up which could contribute to hair fall. In addition, opt for one without fragrances which won’t build up on your scalp and hair and lead to unnecessary build-up on both.
4. Avoid Silicones
Many hair products contain silicones to give the texture a silky, smooth feel while helping prevent humidity. But Velazquez cautions that too much silicone could build-up and damage hair; she suggests switching to sulphate-free shampoo as a preventive measure.
Kerastase offers an assortment of haircare products designed to cater for every hair type and concern, such as thinning or curly locks. If you suffer from thinned-out locks, try Bain Densite which contains hyaluronic acid to plump each individual strand and give your mane an illusion of fuller volume. Those with curly locks should reach for Curl Manifesto which features ingredients which work to tame frizz while simultaneously define curls without weighing down their head; use Fondant Hydratation conditioner and Densimorphose hair mousse to achieve a sleek, hydrated finish look.
5. Avoid Parabens
Kerastase shampoo for fine hair should be free from parabens which are preservatives in beauty products and may contain hormone disrupting ingredients that could potentially cause hormone imbalance.
Elixir Ultime Huile Rose Oil can help enhance colour radiance and create irresistible shine on any type of hair, providing irresistible luster that’s suitable for all. Free from silicones and parabens, this luxurious oil guarantees long-term use!
Kerastase Chronologiste offers fine hair the strengthening treatment it deserves with their detoxifying shampoo that helps rebalance your scalp while eliminating impurities that lead to hair fall.
