How to choose the right Kérastase shampoo for oily hair
Oily hair often occurs when the scalp's sebum production is out of balance. This can be caused by stress, washing too frequently, hot weather, or simply your hair type. The right shampoo helps restore that balance without drying out your scalp.
Several factors are important when choosing the right Kérastase shampoo:
- How oily is your scalp? Does your hair become greasy quickly (within a day) or only after a few days?
- Are your lengths dry or sensitive? Choose a formula that cleanses the roots but nourishes the ends.
- Do you wash daily or less often? A mild, sulfate-free shampoo is better in that case.
- Do you have fine or thick hair? Lighter formulas are ideal for fine hair, richer creams for thicker hair.
The best ingredients for oily hair are amino acid complexes, salicylic acid, and vitamin B6. They help regulate sebum production, cleanse deeply but gently, and keep the scalp fresh without stripping it.
Which Kérastase shampoo for oily hair suits me?
Below are the most suitable Kérastase shampoos for oily hair, each with its focus and benefits:
Kérastase Specifique Bain Divalent
The most well-known Kérastase shampoo for oily hair. Intensely cleanses the scalp, removes excess sebum, and nourishes dry lengths. With vitamin B6 and glycine, hair feels light and soft. Perfect for greasy roots and dry ends.
Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant
For oily hair with hair loss or breakage. This shampoo purifies the scalp with edelweiss and ginger root, strengthens the hair fiber, and prevents weakening at the roots. Ideal for fine to normal hair.
Kérastase Symbiose Bain Pureté Anti-Pelliculaire
For oily hair with dandruff or itching. Contains salicylic acid and piroctone olamine to remove flakes and cleanse the scalp without being harsh. Leaves hair light and fresh.
Kérastase Chronologiste Bain Régénérant
A luxurious option for oily hair that also needs shine and care. Effectively cleanses and protects against pollution thanks to hyaluronic acid and abyssine. Perfect for those who wash hair daily without weighing it down.
How to use Kérastase shampoo for oily hair
The way you apply shampoo makes a big difference in results. Follow this routine for the best effect:
- Thoroughly wet your hair with lukewarm water.
- Apply a small amount of shampoo (about the size of a euro coin) to the scalp.
- Gently massage with your fingertips, especially at the roots where hair gets oily.
- Leave on for 1–2 minutes to let the active ingredients work.
- Rinse thoroughly and repeat if needed for an extra fresh cleanse.
Use the shampoo two to three times per week. If you wash daily, occasionally alternate with a mild option such as Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin to nourish the lengths.
The right Kérastase routine for oily hair
Cleanse: Use Specifique Bain Divalent 2–3 times per week.
Hydrate: Apply Masque Réhydratant 1–2 times per week.
Protect: Shield the ends with a light oil such as Elixir Ultime Huile Légère.
Refresh: Between washes, use a dry shampoo to absorb excess sebum, for example Kérastase Fresh Affair Dry Shampoo.
Oily hair with hair loss or breakage?
Then choose Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant. This shampoo deeply cleanses the scalp but is gentle enough to protect the hair fiber. Ingredients like ginger root and edelweiss make your hair feel stronger, fall beautifully, and appear fuller. Ideal for fine hair that gets oily quickly and needs extra strength.
Oily hair with dandruff or irritation?
Then Kérastase Symbiose Bain Pureté Anti-Pelliculaire is perfect. This shampoo soothes the scalp with salicylic acid and piroctone olamine. It removes flakes, reduces itching, and leaves your hair feeling fresh and light.
Whatever you choose, remember: it’s all about balance. Give your scalp a few weeks to restore itself. After a few washes, you’ll notice hair gets less oily, stays clean longer, and regains natural volume.
