i've been battling with hair loss since my europe trip. well, actually i did deal with it before, but it's not as worse as after the europe trip. somehow during my trip, my scalp reacted to one of the shampoo provided by the hotel and somehow after that incident, my hair fell even more than before. it got to the point where my husband was worried that i might get bald, so he insisted that i started find some treatment immediately. i decided to buy several treatment and slowly but sure it works. so naturally, i became more interested in trying hair loss products in the market, and when i visited singapore, i stumbled upon this set by kerastase. i knew that they had a genesis line which targeted for hair loss, but i didn't know which one to pick. so, the set kind of help to give the idea. this time, somehow i finished all my hair products at the same time, so i use all three at similar time (if you knew me, then i barely used a whole set at the same time, so this is a new achievement). anyway, the first one that i tried was the shampoo so let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: fortifying shampoo for normal to dry, weakened hair that is prone to falling due to breakage from brushing. gently cleanses scalp and hair while adding moisture. provides intense nourishment and gently detangles hair. prevents risk of hair-fall due to breakage from brushing.
the set consists of
- bain nutri-fortifiant shampoo 80 ml
- fondant renforçateur 75 ml
- masque reconstituant 75 ml

the packaging: since i bought this as a set, they comes in a pink box with a transparent plastic window at front so you can see everything from the outside. at the back, there's a short description of everything inside in english. all the products are placed on a transparent plastic tray so everything is secured. the shampoo itself comes in a miniature of the full size one. please do mind that the genesis line has two types of shampoo, the one with transparent body and the opaque one. the one in the set is the opaque one, so the shampoo comes in an opaque pink plastic bottle with screw cap. there's a very description at the back in several languages as well as the ingredients list.

the scent: the first time i use this, i automatically fell in love with the scent. yeah sure, it's fragrant, but it's... addicting. i can't describe the scent, but it's very noticeable so if you don't like scented products, then you should skip it. for me personally, the scent makes the whole experience more exciting.

| the bottle |
the product: the shampoo is a pearly white runny gel-type shampoo. i only need a tiny bit for my hair right now (i just cut my hair so i only need a tiny bit for all of my hair) and it bubbles up generously. please note that this one still contains SLES, so if you're avoiding this stuff, then skip this. oh, and the difference between the transparent one and the opaque one is the target. for the opaque one, it's targeted toward dry hair while the transparent one is for normal hair.

the result: okay, compared to erha shampoo (for the hair fall), i definitely notice that this one is not superior compared to the other. erha works better in preventing hair fall, but then again, i've just dyed my hair again, and i don't experience bad hair fall, so i guess it must've worked but not as powerful as erha one. anyway, the shampoo is not drying and i don't experience flakiness on my scalp because of the shampoo (one of the reason that i stopped using erha one is because it causes flakiness on my scalp).

that being said, i'm a little bit sad that this one is not as effective as erha one, but i do like the scent. if only that this shampoo doesn't cost fortune... anyway, you can get kerastase from their official market place, and they do hold sales on special dates, so perhaps save money and buy them at discounted price. as for me, i'll think about it, as it's quite damn pricey.
