I love my hairdresser. He always knows the right thing to do, he tells me what my new ideas will really look like, and this month he gave me the new Kerastase Initialiste leave in treatment to try. My hair is healthy and shiny but given my propensity to go night after night without much sleep (boo for insomnia), it isn’t as strong as it could be from within the roots. That’s my diplomatic way of saying I have really fine hair. So after having a bit of whinge that I want thicker, stronger hair, he told me about the new product causing waves in the hair industry.
Kerastase Initialiste
could be described as skincare for the hair. It’s an ‘advanced scalp and hair concentrate for
substance, resistance and shine’. Well
that sounds good, right? According to
the internal leaflet, two stem cell pools exist in the hair follicle which can
become damaged by external factors, affecting their activity. Kerastase Initialiste uses plant
cells to optimise the follicle and its regenerative functions. My hairdresser also told me about all kinds of other things like gluco-lipids, oxidative stress and decreases in melanocyte
cells. I was confused too. In simpler terms, this product is supposed to
protect your hair from the inside out, at cell level, and help your little
follicles do their job a lot better.
Ultimately, this is meant to lead to thicker, faster growing hair, naturally. So for someone who has healthy hair but
experiences slow growth or a high fall rate – like petite moi – Kerastase
Initialiste is here to save the day.
But does it do the
job? There’s only one way to find
out. So over the next 4-8 weeks I’m
going to use the product for the suggested 2-3 times per week and report back
with my findings.
Watch this space my
furry friends! First post coming over
the weekend when I use it for the first time. See you then!
Yours,
LMM xoxo
