KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo for Weak or Damaged Hair — 8.5 fl oz, Anti-Breakage & Hydrating Silicone-Free

KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo is a daily, silicone-free cleanser that gently removes buildup while strengthening hair prone to breakage and hydration imbalance.

Designed for weak, fragile or oil-prone hair, this 8.5 fl oz Bain Hydra-Fortifiant formula combines ginger root and native edelweiss cells to purify the scalp, reduce sebum accumulation, and reinforce fiber resilience. It’s part of the Genesis range and works best when paired with the matching conditioner and serum, delivering a routine that targets breakage caused by brushing, heat, and everyday handling.

How does this shampoo reduce hair breakage during brushing?

The formula aims to fortify each strand so that hair resists mechanical stress from combing and brushing. Ingredients support the hair fiber and help remove scalp impurities that can weaken roots and strands.

• Ginger root extract helps soothe the scalp and reduce excess oil that can weigh hair down.
• Native edelweiss cells contribute antioxidant support to protect weakened hair fibers.
• Gently cleansing surfactants lift sebum and pollution without stripping essential moisture.
• Silicone-free texture avoids heavy build-up that can make hair more prone to breakage.

Will this shampoo work for oily or combination scalps?

Yes — it’s formulated to address oily, normal, and combination scalp types by removing excess sebum and everyday pollutants. The cleansing action clears hair roots so follicles aren’t burdened by residue that exacerbates oiliness.

• Specifically targets oil buildup to refresh the scalp surface.
• Lightweight lather prevents the greasy feeling without overdrying strands.
• Suitable for fine or thin hair that tends to look flat from oil accumulation.
• Regular use helps maintain a cleaner scalp environment between washes.

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Use on wet hair, massaging to create a light lather, then rinse and repeat if needed. For a full strengthening regimen, follow with a Genesis conditioner and finish with the serum to seal and reinforce the hair fiber.

• Apply to thoroughly wet hair for even distribution.
• Lather gently along the scalp and through lengths, then rinse.
• Repeat if hair is especially dirty or product-laden.
• Pair with conditioner and serum from the Genesis line for optimal anti-breakage benefits.

What immediate benefits can I expect after washing?

After one wash, hair should feel cleaner at the roots, easier to detangle, and lighter in appearance. Over continued use you can expect improved manageability and reduced visible breakage caused by daily brushing.

• Removes sebum and pollution for a fresher scalp sensation.
• Leaves hair easier to comb and style, reducing mechanical stress.
• Maintains hydration balance without silicone coating.
• Helps hair appear less fragile and more resilient with regular use.

Who this is for: KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo is ideal for people with fragile, fine, or thinning hair that experiences breakage from brushing, as well as those with oily or combination scalps seeking a strengthening, non-heavy cleanser. If your hair needs daily gentle cleansing that supports fiber strength without silicones, this shampoo fits as the first step in a targeted anti-breakage haircare routine.
