I have been lucky to test this product from Kerastase ⭐️ In order for you to understand how the product works, I want to go into detail about the hair's life cycle. This is because it is important to understand how the hair strand functions so that you do not guess whether you see an improvement or not. It is worth reading this review, as you can actually learn a lot about your hair!
I have previously worked as a hairdresser, and I will try to summarize in quick steps. Each hair strand has its own life cycle consisting of three phases:
1️⃣ The growth phase can last 3-5 years, or longer depending on your genes and age.
➡️ A hair strand is formed in the hair follicle around the hair papilla. In the beginning, the cells are round. (the cells are alive)
➡️ On the way to the scalp's surface, the cells change shape and become stretched. (alive)
➡️ When the hair strand grows out of the scalp, the cells have become keratinized and are "dead" in the sense that the cells can no longer divide or regenerate.
2️⃣ The transition phase lasts 2-3 weeks, here the cells stop dividing, here the supply of nutrients to the hair stops, and it begins to loosen from the hair follicle.
3️⃣ The resting phase lasts about 3-4 months, the hair strand falls out, and the hair follicle is rebuilt. A new growth phase begins.
Even though the hair that you can physically see and touch is "dead", the cells in the papilla are still alive. And this is where the serum will strengthen and stimulate further production/growth. This serum can also stimulate growth for people who struggle with temporary alopecia, hereditary hair loss, and hair loss associated with stress, but perhaps not as effectively against severe genetic hair loss.
Based on your genes, the papilla will always release the hair root when "the time is right". With this serum, you can extend the life cycle of your hair strands. The product strengthens your hair and helps against mechanical damage and improves the health of hair and scalp. It is important to note that if you have just started with such a product, it is important that you continue to maintain the hair strands whose life cycle you are extending.
It is important to give the product the time it needs before you see actual results. So if you are still losing hair strands after you have started with the product, it is not because the product does not work, it is because the hair strand has already entered the transition phase before you started with the product. You probably need to use it for a period of 3-6 months before you can actually notice a difference.
Because of this, it is difficult to say whether the product has helped, hence I give 4 stars. The product is not economical in use, and the price may be somewhat high for frequent use. But the serum is worth every penny for those of you who actually struggle with hair loss, it would be for me. Since my hair is a big part of my identity ❤️
The product is applied to towel-dried hair, and it is important to massage it in! The product does not feel greasy, and the hair does not feel dirty when it is dry. Has a fresh and pleasant scent!
