Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant 500ml is the salon-size version of Kérastase's flagship anti-hair-fall strengthening shampoo for normal to oily hair prone to falling. Part of the Kérastase Genesis range. Same Ginger Root + Aminexil formula as the 250ml — in a larger salon-economy bottle.

Best for: hair that's normal to oily and shedding more than usual; customers committed to a long-term anti-hair-fall routine who want better value per ml; the cleansing step in the Genesis routine paired with Fondant Renforcé conditioner, Sérum Anti-Chute, and Défense Thermique; salon professionals and at-home users dedicated to the Genesis system.
Less suited to: dry to very dry hair that also sheds (use Genesis Bain Nutri-Fortifiant instead — richer formula, same range); thinning hair where the goal is density rather than reducing shedding (use Densifique Bain Densité + Cure Densifique vials); damaged hair where structural repair is the priority (use Resistance Bain Force Architecte); colour-treated hair where colour care is priority (use Chroma Absolu); first-time Genesis users (start with the 250ml).

Key actives: (identical to 250ml)
- Aminexil — Kérastase's patented anti-shedding active; helps prevent hair-fall by strengthening the bulb
- Edelweiss Native Cells — antioxidant protection for the scalp and follicle
- Ginger Root extract (Zingiber Officinale) — invigorating botanical that energises the scalp
- Glycerin — humectant for healthy hydration
- Lightweight cleansing base — won't weigh shedding-prone hair down

Benefits:
- Visibly reduces hair-fall caused by breakage (Kérastase instrumental test)
- Strengthens fragile, thinning fibre from the scalp out
- Gentle daily cleansing that doesn't aggravate scalp sensitivity
- Adds shine and movement to normal-to-oily hair
- Better per-ml value than the 250ml format

How to use: Apply to wet hair, lather, work through scalp with vigorous massage to activate micro-circulation. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Fondant Renforcé conditioner, then Sérum Anti-Chute scalp serum or Cure Anti-Chute vials. Use Défense Thermique before heat styling.

Format: 500ml shampoo (salon-economy size).
