KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo 8.5 fl oz — Silicone-Free Anti-Breakage Strengthening

KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo is a silicone-free daily cleanser that gently removes buildup while strengthening hair prone to breakage from brushing.

This shampoo is formulated for weak, fragile hair that needs lightweight cleansing and reinforcement. With a plant-derived ginger root extract and edelweiss cell complex, the formula targets hair weakened by mechanical stress and environmental grime without weighing strands down. It rinses away sebum and pollution residue while helping hair feel softer and more manageable — an everyday step in the KÉRASTASE Genesis routine.

How does this shampoo reduce breakage during brushing?

The formula focuses on reinforcing the fiber so brushing causes less mechanical stress. By improving wet and dry detangling and reducing surface friction, strands slide through brushes more easily, lowering the risk of snap-off.

• Plant-active ginger root to fortify weakened hair fibers.
• Native edelweiss cells support resilience against mechanical damage.
• Gentle surfactants that clean without over-stripping moisture.
• Silicone-free blend that avoids heavy build-up on the cuticle.

Will it work for oily or combination scalps?

Yes — the cleansing system is calibrated to remove excess sebum and environmental pollutants while balancing the scalp. It clears oil build-up that can weigh fine or combination hair down, leaving a fresher, lighter feel.

• Formulated to lift sebum and pollution particles from the scalp.
• Non-heavy finish keeps roots from flattening.
• Suitable for normal, oily, or combination scalp types.
• Recommended follow-up with a compatible conditioner for added nourishment.

Is this safe for color-treated or heat-styled hair?

The gentle cleansing action makes it appropriate for color-treated hair when used as part of a caring routine, though it’s not a color-preserving formula. It helps hair weakened by heat tools recover manageability and reduces friction that exacerbates damage from styling.

• Strengthening ingredients support hair stressed by heat styling.
• Light formulation won’t leave heavy residues that dull color.
• Follow with a Genesis conditioner or serum to enhance protection.

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to thoroughly wet hair, massage to create a light lather, rinse, and repeat if desired. For a complete routine, follow with a Genesis conditioner and the recommended serum to strengthen, detangle, and hydrate from roots to ends.

• Use daily or as often as needed to remove oil and buildup.
• Massage into scalp for 60–90 seconds to lift impurities.
• Rinse thoroughly and continue with Genesis conditioner/serum.
• Avoid eye contact; rinse eyes immediately if contact occurs.

Who is this for: KÉRASTASE Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo is designed for people with fine, thin, or weakened hair that tends to fall or break during brushing, especially those with oily or combination scalps. If you want a daily, silicone-free cleanser that removes excess oil and pollution while strengthening fibers and improving detangling, this product fits into a targeted care routine alongside the brand’s conditioner and serum.
