Hair Love: Kerastase Densifique Review

Looking for a Kerastase Densifique review? Check out our editor’s personal experience:

When I heard that Kerastase’s new Densifique line was designed to bring life-stressed hair back to glorious health, I was obviously excited. My hair tends to match my life: when things are going smoothly, my hair matches, and when all the cookies seem to be crumbling, well, it’s a series of bad hair days. And, seeing as I’ve spent the better part of the last few months traveling, working long hours, and going sleepless in the name of parenting– relief for life stress is totally appealing to all my greater sensibilities. Especially my hair sensibilities.

The Kerastase Densifique line boasts Hyaluronic acid to help each strand retain moisture (adios, frizz!), gluco-peptides for shine, and a special little lipid called Ceramide to keep each strand shinier than a pile of diamonds in the sunshine (not saying that’s a fantasy of mine, but, let’s be real). And the shampoo, Bain Densite, became an instant favorite before it even hit my hair. It’s like pouring liquid velvet into the palm of your hand, except that liquid velvet smells like running through a field of wildflowers and happiness. It lathers exceptionally well, which is often a challenge on long, thick hair like mine (you know, all that hair tends to get in the way of bubbly goodness). The conditioner, Masque Densite, is so smooth and luxurious that I’m planning on forcing my color-treated mom to use it on her naturally fine hair at least once a week as well, especially because the formula is nearly weightless and leaves hair full of bounce and glory (see photo evidence).

I also particularly love the styling mousse, Densimorphose, because it’s so forgiving– use a little or a lot, it’ll make a blowdry last way longer than normal, and it seems to cut the amount of time and effort required to do so. Here’s about how much I like to use:

As I write this, I’m enjoying my third day post-Densifique blowout, and my locks are still gloriously shiny, light, and can probably still go another 1-2 days without a shampoo if necessary (although the smell of the shampoo from this line is so good that I might just do it again tonight for the heck of it).
