Kérastase recommendations for menopause hair

[checkedcloth]

I am looking for some advice about hair, which since menopause and despite HRT is starting to really deteriorate.

It’s constantly looking dull and flat and I am seeing lots more scalp on my parting. It’s greasy and the roots but dry at the ends

I have really liked Kérastase products in the past, but not sure which ones to try that may help.

does anyone have any recommendations?

Don’t know about kerastase, but I just had hair “Botox”, it’s a bloody game changer!!!!

aura, vegan brand, jams in moisture and nutrients and you have shiny swishy hair for four months!

I was recommended ‘Genesis’ by my hairdresser for menopausal hair and it’s the nicest shampoo and conditioner I’ve ever used. I tend to alternate my shampoos every couple of days , but it does always seem to dry better etc when I’ve used this one. ( And feel nicer)

Also a menopausal age woman I've tried the Discipline one recently. I chose this one because I had a full head of highlights earlier in the year which have been feeling a bit dry and ratty.

It's definitely improved the highlighted bits which feel much softer but I'm not sure it's done much for the top regrowth section which feels a bit lank and could do with more volume. That's maybe not the products fault - more I've got two different things going on with my hair that would suit two different shampoos.

I might try the Genesis one next as I do think they are good products. I probably just need to find the correct type.

Thanks all - that’s helpful. The Genesis serum
gets excellent reviews

I like the Densifique line as it gives me more volume without drying out my hair. Unfortunately, I can't use the Genesis range as there is something in it that irritates my scalp.

The Chronologiste range is also a good all rounder that does a bit of everything, but I find the Nanoworks Gold range from Pureology much better value, though it might be a little too moisturising for you. Both were originally targetted at menopausal/postmeopausal women, but the marketing has changed and they seem almost afraid to admit this now.

@nzeire would you mind being more specific or linking? This sounds amazing, but their website seems to have the normal 'shampoo, conditioner, masque'--nothing that markets itself as 'Hair Botox' or particularly able to solve menopausal hair problems!

When mine is feeling particularly lank and greasy I like to use this with their tea tree conditioner, always soft and swishy afterwards, it's like it strips the grease out.

Another vote for genesis here. I was recommended it when my hair started falling out and after a few washes I noticed very little fall out and it was much healthier. Game changer

@nzeire sounds fab! Any link pls? Google just bring up lots of hair salons called aura

Has sorted my hair, which was somehow greasy at the roots and dry and frizzy at the ends.

I think it's this?

Ok, I’m in Nz and the product is aura, it is a hyralonic acid treatment for hair done in salons. Also called hair Botox.

it costs about 300 dollars (120 quid), takes a couple of hours and honestly, I LOVE it. I have never had good hair and now I do! It doesn’t make your hair dead straight and heavy with product feel, like keratin. It’s your hair but a thousand times better

im sure you will find similar in uk, I’m googling now for my daughter who is living there

ill repeat, game changer :)

Here’s some info

My hairdresser recommended Kerastase Genesis to me - my hair has thinned and become brittle. Mind you, I'm older than you - 64.

Clicked on that, thanks, but why on earth does it want to know whether I "identify as" non-binary before it will give me any specifics? FFS.

Haha! Not sure if it’s that, it’s an in salon treatmebt

I use the orange top one for fine hair. I actually have thick hair but that does not weigh it down.

I also wash and dry it at night and put one of those claw things in the parting at the top of my head. Next day I have good bounce (I sound like my mother now!) at the roots.

I also find that lots of good layers on a shortish cut builds volume - when longer it pulls it down more.

Thanks all. I’ve ordered a starter kit of the Genesis range.
