If you think you’re losing hair, it might just be sleeping beneath your scalp.

 

Learn how to awaken sleeping hair and revive its lushness.   You will be surprised at how much of your hair is actually just in hibernation.

 

Hair functions like any other system in the body—it goes through cycles of rejuvenation to keep it working at its optimum ability.

 

A regular occurrence of this cycle almost always ensures the growth of beautiful hair; thus, the period of time that it takes for hair to enter the regrowth stage after shedding is a good indicator if the hair is still growing healthily.

 

Natural cycle

 

Hair undergoes a natural cycle of growth, stabilization and falling off. The period between the hair’s falling off and regrowth should occur in a span of two to 12 months. Beyond that period, it’s possible your locks are not growing at a desirable rate.

 

There are several reasons. For example, extreme stress may cause sluggish hair growth. Age and genetics are also probable causes, leaving the hair thin, limp and lifeless. This period lasts for months, even years on end, and may explain the reason behind balding or hair thinning, even without visible hair fall.

 

This type of hair, whose growth has been stunted for more than 12 months, is referred to by Kérastase Paris as “sleeping hair.”

 

Thankfully, all hope is not lost on sleeping hair. On its 50th anniversary, Kérastase Paris has launched a new line that reinforces its best-selling Densifique Cure, targeted to awaken sleeping hair and continue the growth of hair that is strong, thick and full of life.

 

Key characteristics

 

Named Densifique Absolu, this new line of four products rouses sleeping hair from its stagnant state, revealing awakened hair that has three key characteristics:

 

Abundance: There are more hair strands per centimeter, thanks to Stemoxydine, which activates hair follicles and awakens sleeping hair within three months.

 

Lushness: More abundant hair is made healthier due to the improved quality of hair fiber. This is done via gluco-peptides, 20 synthesized structural proteins that reinforce the hair fiber.

 

Bounce: Lightness and hydration are visible as the hair thickens through Hyaluronic acid, a molecule that binds moisture in every hair strand.

 

Densifique Absolu, together with the original Densifique Cure, ensures a potent solution to thinning hair. There are take-home treatments: Shampoo (Bain Densite) and Masque, and a potent scalp serum (Densifique Cure). But the in-salon concentrate and booster are instant thickening treatments that penetrate hair fibers to instantly give body and resilience.

 

You may want to try the in-salon cure to complement the in-house regimen.

 

Kérastase hair treatments and products are available at leading salons.
