Oily roots and dry ends? Ditch your dependency on dry shampoo for an oily scalp, because this grease-busting new range from Kérastase has officially arrived in salons.
There is nothing like the feeling of freshly washed, impeccably clean and great-smelling hair. But for those who struggle with oily roots and dry ends, that feeling is fleeting. Waking up to an oily scalp can affect your confidence before the day has even started! There are several factors that cause an oily scalp (spoiler: it’s not just genetics!), but the good news is that an it can be managed with the right routine.
Signs of an Imbalanced Scalp:
- Greasiness – While oil may not necessarily be a bad thing, too much can cause greasiness and allow bacteria to grow and cause dandruff and other scalp conditions. Plus, you probably struggle to achieve lasting freshness without frequent trips to the shower! A lightweight balancing shampoo and a purifying cleanser will help manage this.
- Smelly Scalp – If you deal with this, then you’re not alone. Excess oil and sweat buildup creates a breeding ground for bacteria and odor. If your hair is lacking that fresh clean scent, then it’s a sign something could be up.
- Lack of Volume – Flat roots and an overall lack of root life is another sign of an imbalanced scalp. Greasiness and oiliness will make your hair look flat and takes the “lively” out of Blake Lively.
- Scalp Discomfort – itchiness, sensitivity or irritation is never a fun sign of a disrupted scalp.
Specifique Divalent Scalp & Hair Care Routine:
Introducing the Kérastase Specifique Divalent hair care routine. A complete unisex program for oily roots and dry ends, with a nourishing and next-level clean that lasts and lasts. Let’s take a look at your new anti-oiliness routine!
Step 1: Bain Divalent Shampoo
Start by washing your hair with this lightweight balancing shampoo.
The Kérastase Bain Divalent Shampoo has an ultra-light formula that balances and purifies scalp oiliness without over drying your ends and stripping away your natural oils – it’s a win-win! The clean is durable, for a long-lasting freshness that reduces the need for frequent washing, but this shampoo is still gentle enough for you to use daily.
Thanks to its white and creamy texture, the shampoo soothes sensitive areas, reduces excess oiliness and deeply cleanses your scalp without weighing it down. The outcome? Because of its nourishing action, you can expect your hair to become smoother, shinier and 44% softer. Plus, you’ll walk out of the shower with a fresh scent of Indian Basil, Freesia and Sandalwood – guaranteeing your hair smells beautifully clean for days.
Step 2: Argile Équilibrante
Once a week, switch up your shampoo with this purifying clay to detoxify the scalp and lift your roots.
Welcome to your new favourite beauty product. This skincare-inspired purifying clay will deeply, yet gently, cleanse an oily scalp. Its Amino Acid and Kaolin Clay ingredients will draw out sebum and impurities like a magnet! The detox clay works into a foam to eliminate excess grease at the roots, so your hair feels lightweight with 74% fuller volume.
Just like a clay face mask, this treatment is designed to be used once a week and in replacement of your Bain Divalent shampoo. Not only will it revitalise and refresh your scalp but also your senses. This creamy, green detox clay is scented with a heavenly fragrance of Earl Grey tea, Rose Essence and Cedarwood. It’s a pity we can’t show you the scent through your screen, but imagine it’s like the drop of a cloud.
Step 3: Masque Réhydratant
Followed by this hydrating masque to deeply hydrate your ends.
Ever wondered what the secret is to lasting freshness, fuller volume and cleaner hair? The Masque Réhydratant is your answer! Having an oily scalp doesn’t mean your lengths and ends aren’t dry – especially if you’re obsessed with dry shampoo. While these temporary cleaners are suitable for sopping up excess oils, relying on them daily can leave your hair dry and sensitive.
This fresh scented, lightweight green gel reimagines intense conditioning while rehydrating those thirsty strands. When used with the Bain or clay, this masque increases detangling by 82% and leaves hair 61% shinier. Formulated with two essential ingredients for strengthening and hydrating hair (amino acid and ceramide) you can expect this treatment to instantly rebalance your hair’s essential hydration level.
Step 4: Sérum Potentialiste
Finish with a few drops of serum on a towel-dried scalp for protection against environmental damages.
The Potentialiste serum is the crowning jewel of this range, dedicated to supporting your scalp’s health by defending against common issues like sensitivity, itchiness, dandruff, oily roots and dry ends. Perfect for all genders, scalps and hair types, it fortifies and revitalises your scalp, so you feel fresh, healthy, calm, and strong.
While the right shampoo for oily hair is a crucial first step, maintaining the right balance requires a product that prevents your oily hair situation from intensifying. By adding this defense serum to your routine, you will find the right way to say “adios” to oily hair and “hola” to long lasting freshness and a healthy new look.
