  • Frizz and humidity control — seals the cuticle for lasting smoothness.
  • Gentle cleanse — washes without stripping moisture.
  • Sleek, manageable hair — easier to style without weight.
How to use

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Discipline Bain Oléo-Relax is a smoothing, anti-frizz shampoo for dry, voluminous, frizz-prone hair. Part of the Kérastase Discipline range — specifically the richer, more nourishing Oléo-Relax sub-line built around the Morpho-Huiles oil complex. Gently cleanses while taming volume and sealing the cuticle against humidity.

Best for: dry, thick, coarse or unruly hair that becomes voluminous and frizzy in humidity; hair that needs more weight and nourishment than Bain Fluidealiste provides; the cleansing step in the Oléo-Relax routine paired with Masque Oléo-Relax and Oléo-Relax serum (or as part of the Discipline frizz-control system with Maskeratine).
Less suited to: fine to medium hair that needs lightweight smoothing (use Discipline Bain Fluidealiste — sulfate-free, lighter); naturally curly hair where curl definition is the priority (use Kérastase Curl Manifesto — Bain Hydratation Douceur); colour-treated hair where colour care is the priority (use Chroma Absolu or Blond Absolu); damaged or chemically over-processed hair primarily needing repair (use Resistance Bain Force Architecte or Thérapiste).

Key actives:
- Morpho-Huiles Complex — Kérastase's signature anti-frizz oil blend:
- Shorea Robusta Seed Butter — softens hair, builds resistance to breakage, smooths texture
- Virgin Coconut Oil — deeply hydrates dry hair, prevents breakage and split ends, penetrates the fibre
- Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil — nourishes and seals
- Shea Butter — adds richness and conditioning
- Inca Peanut Oil — lightweight nutritive oil
- Cationic polymers — restore softness, shine, and improve detangling

Benefits:
- Long-lasting anti-frizz control — 24h discipline in 80% humidity when used with the full Oléo-Relax routine (Kérastase instrumental test)
- Reduces unwanted volume on thick, coarse hair
- Hydrates and nourishes dry fibre during cleansing
- Smooths the cuticle for fluidity, movement, and shine
- Improves manageability and reduces tangles

How to use: Apply a quarter-sized amount to wet hair and scalp. Massage, emulsify, rinse thoroughly. Follow with Masque Oléo-Relax for deep treatment, or Fondant Fluidealiste for lighter conditioning. Finish with a few drops of Oléo-Relax serum on damp lengths before blow-drying.

Format: 250ml shampoo.
