First a little information on the premium hair care brand Kerastase, as given in Wikipedia.

Kérastase (French pronunciation: [keʁastːz]) is a luxury haircare brand developed by Recherche avancée L’Oréal (L'Oréal advanced research) under the professional products division of the L'Oreal Group.

Established in 1964 in France, the brand first expanded in Europe, and then worldwide, with its launch in Japan in 1990 and in North America in 1999. Kérastase is distributed to high-end hair salons only and is among the market leaders in the professional and luxury haircare segments in several countries.

 

The shampoo comes in a plastic bottle which is off white in color and has a saffron color top cap. The cap can be screwed open and the bottle has a minute hole in it from which you can dispense the shampoo. The shampoo is a clear whitish color liquid which is thin in consistency and has a peculiar medicine like smell. The shampoo does not lather much and thus those with a greasy scalp and who use a whole lot of post wash styling products may feel the need to rinse their hair twice with this shampoo to throughly remove the oil and product build up.

Application :
Apply a quarter-sized amount to wet hair and scalp. Massage head using palms of hands. Emulsify and rinse thoroughly.

Pro's of Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo :

• Cleanses hair without stripping natural oils making it extremely gentle even for damaged, dry hair
• Hair is left soft, shiny and looking healthy after wash without the need of any other post wash products
• Hair looks voluminous and feels light and clean without heavy greasing or coating of chemicals like other high end shampoo's

Con's of Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo :

• Expensive
• Contains silicones and other chemicals
• Does not lather much which makes washing twice for greasy/oily scalps necessary
• Smells funny for such an expensive shampoo

To Splurge or Not to Splurge :

Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo is a luxury brand of shampoo patronised by some of world's best hair dressers, salons and their elite and celebrity clients. Also, the formula for this shampoo is enriched with nutritive formulas that care for your hair while cleansing. The gentle cleansing formulas though perfect for the dry, damaged hair types this shampoo is meant for make it unsuitable for oily hair. I am a die hard hair style and dye adventurer, making this the best shampoo to deal with the damage I invariably cause to my hair. If you have fine hair which needs a gentle cleansing shampoo for daily damage care and are ready to pay a premium price for the same then you must give this shampoo a try.

Final Verdict :
Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo gets a 4/5 from me!
