Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité is a densifying shampoo for fine, thinning hair that lacks volume. With hyaluronic acid and gluco-peptide technology, it plumps each hair fibre from root to tip — leaving hair visibly fuller, thicker-looking and more resilient from the first wash.

Benefits
  • Fuller, thicker-looking hair — gluco-peptide technology plumps the fibre from within.
  • Hydrated and plumped — hyaluronic acid adds body without heaviness.
  • Stronger strands — reinforces the fibre to reduce breakage.
  • Gentle daily cleanse — light enough to use every day.
How to use
  1. Apply to wet hair, working a lather from scalp through the lengths.
  2. Rinse, and repeat for a deeper cleanse if needed.
  3. Follow with Fondant Densité conditioner or Masque Densité.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité is a daily bodifying shampoo for hair lacking density. Part of the Kérastase Densifique range. Plumps the hair fibre and strengthens at the cuticle to deliver visibly fuller, thicker-looking hair.

Best for: hair experiencing loss of density — finer, thinner, or visibly less dense than before; hair seeking enhanced body, bounce, and visible thickness; the daily cleansing step in a Densifique routine paired with Fondant Densité conditioner and Masque Densité weekly treatment.
Less suited to: hair primarily experiencing breakage and length damage (use Resistance Bain Extentioniste); hair primarily concerned with hair fall or shedding from roots (use Genesis or Spécifique Stimuliste); coloured hair where colour care is the priority (use Chroma Absolu or Blond Absolu, although Densifique is colour-safe); severely damaged hair (use Resistance Bain Force Architecte or Thérapiste).

Key actives:
- Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — natural humectant that retains up to 1000 times its weight in moisture; plumps the hair fibre for fuller, thicker appearance
- Intra-Cyclane — Kérastase's signature density-restoring active that strengthens and protects the fibre
- Amino acids (Arginine, Glutamic Acid, Serine) — building blocks for hair strength
- Hydrolysed Wheat Protein — coats and reinforces the hair surface
- Gentle daily cleansing base — suitable for use at every wash

Benefits:
- Plumps the hair fibre for visibly fuller, thicker-looking hair from the first wash
- Enhances body, bounce, and volume in fine or thinning hair
- Strengthens the hair fibre to reduce visible damage
- Daily-use formula gentle enough for every wash
- Does not contain minoxidil and is suitable for colour-treated hair

How to use: Apply to damp hair. Lather into roots and through the lengths. Massage gently. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Fondant Densité conditioner daily, or Masque Densité weekly. Use at every wash for maximum visible density results.

Format: 250ml shampoo. Also available in 500ml professional/salon size.

Before you buy
Common questions

Does Kérastase Densifique shampoo really work for thinning hair?

Yes — the gluco-peptide technology plumps each hair fibre to create the appearance of greater density and thickness. It doesn't regrow hair, but it significantly improves the look and feel of fine and thinning hair with regular use.

How often should I use Kérastase Densifique shampoo?

It's gentle enough for daily use. For best results use it as your regular shampoo, paired with the Densifique mask once or twice a week.

Is Densifique shampoo suitable for men?

Yes — there's also a Densifique Bain Densité Homme formulated for men, with a biotin-based treatment. Both work equally well for fine or thinning hair.

What is the difference between Kérastase Densifique and Spécifique?

Densifique focuses on hair-fibre density and thickness for fine or thinning hair. Spécifique Bain Prevention focuses on scalp health and anti-thinning at the root to prevent further loss.
