Kerastase Initialiste

Post by Natasha26 » Thu Aug 29, 2013 2:27 am

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with the new Advanced Scalp and Hair Concentrate from Kerastase; Initialiste. This is the first serum by kerastase that targets the hair at the root of hair growth as well as the hair length and ends. The serum, which is applied to towel-dried hair, aims to strengthen and sublimate the hair from root to tip by encouraging healthy hair growth from the root where the native stem cell extracts act directly.

My experience with the serum so far is exciting. First, I have stopped all hair loss treatment and taking a bold step by using the Kerastase Initialiste every other day that I wash my hair. The texture is milky, light and smells incredibly fresh. It doesn't leave the scalp or hair oily and it really works to improve the texture of the hair.
After using the serum consecutively for 2 weeks, I am really excited what more it can do to my hair. My hair feels thicker, behave more like healthy hair and is no longer so dry at the length and ends. I have less hair loss which I really wanted to test given that I am off my topical hair loss treatment.

Trust Kerastase to combine sensorial experience with efficacy. I will continue to use the Initialiste and update in another two weeks and then on a monthly basis after that. I may even post pictures to tract my progress with this high tech serum. I hope to really thicken my hair and make it healthier and I am on my way to it.

The Initialiste serum can be bought on Kerastase USA website at the following link:

Hi tinytim,

No, this is a new serum concentrate that has native plant cells by Kerastase.

The Initialiste serum is really amazing so far that I have used it and really agreeable to apply as opposed to hair loss products.

The stimuliste is a leave-in hair loss spray that has been around for several years now.

Cheers
Natasha

Hi tinytim,

Yes as a matter of fact, you can use both. The Initialiste is for creating stronger hair at the root therefore making it more healthy and beautiful.

I have used the Initialiste serum for 1 month now and my new regrowth are healthier. I really like what its doing to my hair.

I feel confident that the native plant stem cells are really working at the follicular level to create healthy new regrowth.

And the plus side is that it is really very enjoyable to use. I really like it so far.

Cheers
Natasha

Hi everyone,

After two months of using the Kerastase Initialiste serum religiously every time I wash my hair, I can actually feel my hair strands a lot thicker. I also feel my hair has a new life.

I have used many native stem cell serums in the past and Kerastase's version is the most effective and most results-oriented. I can see the difference. This is a serum that I never want to be without in my hair loss products arsenal.

Although, Kerastase doesn't claim that it is targeted for hair loss but I am the proof that it actually does help with hair loss as with new hair regrowth. I will soon do a hair picture update so that you can see the difference.

I encourage everyone to try it out.

I will do more updates on the serum every month.

Cheers
Natasha

Hi Jacob, the serum works at both level, cosmetic to thicken the individual hair strand and the stimulating hair growth at the root. I love everything about the serum; the milky texture, the light floral smell and the soothing effect upon application. Really delightful to use.

I am loving my hair again and the serum is part of hair treatment regimen now. Kerastase never disappoints.

Cheers
Natasha

Hi everyone, After more than four months of using Kerastase Initialiste, my baby hairs are growing stronger and longer. This is really a great scalp treatment for regenerating the scalp and encourage healthy hair growth.

The texture of my hair has improved as well and it smells divine. I wouldn't mind using this serum all year round because it is so pleasant to apply. The milky texture and the fresh and floral scent make it a real luxury treat and the price is reasonable at 30 dollars. Kerastase has really come a very long in terms of treating hair loss and encouraging hair regrowth.

Cheers
Natasha

Hey Natasha, long time no speak (I have been MIA ;)). Thanks for sharing this info. Do you see the product as a standalone or as an adjunct to a regimen?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,

I see the Kerastase Initialiste as an adjunct to the other Kerastase Hair loss treatments. Right now the Initialiste is working marvelously as a standalone as well.

Ideally, I would be doing a 3-months treatment with the Kerastase Aminexil Force R to stop my hair loss and prevent the hair follicles from suffocating, then an intensive cure with the Kerastase Densifique to encourage new hair regrowth, then the Kerastase Initialiste to nourish and strengthen the new hair growth while keeping a healthy scalp environment. This would be a break of three months and doing the full circle regimen again.

This should work because it is working for me although I have not used the Kerastase Densifique yet.

Along with a good hair supplement and balanced-protein-rich diet and exercise, we can keep the hair we have and try to increase the density by at least 15-20%. I would be very happy if I can achieve that.

Cheers,
Natasha
