Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin is a gentle hydrating shampoo for fine to medium dry hair. Part of the Kérastase Nutritive range — the brand's reformulated dry-hair system with plant-based proteins and niacinamide. Lightweight, creamy gel texture that cleanses without weighing fine hair down.

Best for: fine to medium hair that's normal-to-dry and needs gentle daily cleansing; hair that feels weighed down by richer shampoos; the cleansing step in the Nutritive routine paired with Lait Vital conditioner and Masquintense for deep weekly care; daily-use shampoo for thirsty fine hair.
Less suited to: medium to thick dry hair (use Nutritive Bain Satin Riche instead — richer version, same range); very damaged or chemically over-processed hair (use Resistance Bain Force Architecte or Première Bain Décalcifiant Réparateur); colour-treated hair where colour care is priority (use Chroma Absolu Bain Chroma Respect); fine, thinning hair where density is the goal (use Densifique Bain Densité); blonde hair (use Blond Absolu Bain Lumière or Bain Ultra-Violet).

Key actives:
- Plant-based proteins (Hydrolyzed Wheat, Corn, and Soy Protein) — nourish dry hair with essential amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — locks in nutrition and strengthens the fibre barrier for long-lasting hair health
- Glycerin — plant-derived humectant; boosts hydrating performance
- Iconic Nutritive fragrance — violet leaves, ylang ylang, white jasmine, tonka beans on a white cedar and sandalwood base

Benefits:
- Gently cleanses and replenishes moisture in fine to medium dry hair
- +90% more shine after one use (Kérastase instrumental test, versus non-conditioning shampoo)
- Conditions and detangles during cleansing
- Lightweight — won't weigh fine hair down
- Restores softness, shine, and manageability

How to use: Apply a coin-sized amount to wet hair. Lather with a little water, emulsify, massage through scalp and lengths, and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed. Follow with Lait Vital conditioner (everyday) or Masquintense (deep treatment) and Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice before heat-styling. Finish with 8H Magic Night Serum for overnight nourishment.

Format: 250ml shampoo.
