My hair is growing back!
I am on my second bottle of Initialiste and could not be happier! For a few years I've been battling hair loss with medical specialists and nothing worked.
After using Initialiste for 3 months I noticed my hairline was filling in and my hair felt stronger and looked shinier. I couldn't hope for better results and highly recommend!

Magical product! Hair texture and health improved!
I have only been using this product three times (I was my hair almost daily because I love squeaky-clean hair), and have noticed that the texture of my hair has changed. Each individual strand feels thicker, my hair is softer, and the ends which experienced the most damage from Balayage caramel highlighting have softened compared to their former brittle state (pre-Kerastase). I have very thick, long, naturally dark-brown, color-treated, and medium-textured hair (for context).
Now, one thing to note: I am using all Kerastase resistance products (shampoo, conditioner, and ciment thermique), so it's hard to tell how much the initialiste is helping on it's own. One interesting improvement I noticed was hair growth! Before using Kerastase, you could barely see my roots and I had my hair colored and highlighted 6 weeks ago. By now, I should have had roots, but upon buying about a dozen Kerastase products, my roots are peaking through and noticeable which shows me this products along with the others are promoting hair growth!
Considering how much I use this product, I expect it to last a month since I wash my hair 20-25 times per month (personal preference). I also use this on my hair on days I decide not to wash (applying it to my dry hair). I look forward to trying their new extensioniste hair serum that's similar to this, so I might switch over once I finish this bottle. Also, I will be receiving about 6 more products in the coming days and will review them each. I truly wish I had started using these products a decade ago. The improvement has boosted my self-confidence and I keep receiving compliments (even from my French husband!)

Great Product
I'm a woman in my 50's, and began to experience hair loss at an alarming rate. This product was recommended by my hair stylist. Be patient. It takes a bit of time. Use as directed. The results have been wonderful. The hair loss has stopped, and my hair looks healthier. A bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Nice, but not a “Miracle Product”
I bought this after noticing a significant amount of breakage in my bleached, platinum hair. After using the entire bottle, I honestly didn’t see too much of a difference... I didn’t think it was a miracle product like other reviewers are saying. There may have been a *slight* difference in my hair’s health, but I think that could also just be the result of me treating my hair more cautiously (less hair drying, less heat styling, switching to boar bristle brushes/large tooth wooden comb, using a shower filter, and frequently applying hair oil). I will say it smells AMAZING (probably the main reason I’m tempted to buy it again haha). Also I love how luxurious the bottle feels. But would I buy it again? Probably not. I don’t have any complaints, but there just wasn’t enough improvement from this product alone to justify the price.

Transformed my hair
At first I didn’t notice the difference until I used this for a couple weeks but after that I noticed that my hair and scalp was so much healthier . My texture has improved now I can’t live without it and ordered more.

Positive results confirmed!
I bought this several months ago (in winter), when my severely bleached (we're talking dark dark brown to platinum blond) hair was terribly damaged. Lots of breakage and hair was very thin - constantly had to get haircuts because the ends looked like a broom (dry brittle coarse). Even had difficulty blow-drying my hair, as the hair was just breaking off...awkward!
After doing a significant amount of research online, I purchased this, as well as several of the products from the Resistance line (the Level 3-4 Shampoo and Conditioner, and heat protectant).
OUTCOME: I'm very pleased to report that my hair is showing significant signs of improvement, thanks to regular use of INITIALISTE, in conjunction with the Resistance Shampoo + Conditioner. (I also stopped dyeing my hair so blond. There is still damage on the ends, but overall I believe these products have helped my hair recover and look like real hair again!) Hair is growing nicely, looks nourished. Will purchase again.

AMAZING MIRACULOUS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not a person who leaves reviews often but I feel so strongly about this product that I am compelled to do so. I have used this 3x and already my hair has totally transformed from dry and dull to smooth and silky! My husband said to me tonight, “You’re hair feels amazing like silk!” I cannot imagine my life without Initialiste. It is definitely the best hair product I have ever used. I have used Kerastase products for many years. I have tried almost every masque they make and some of the shampoos and styling products. I love them but this is the game changer!!!

Love this product!
I purchased this almost two months ago and use it about 2-3x a week after the shower. I already have naturally thick hair but by using this and Kerastase shampoo and mask my hair has grown significantly in the last two months. I highly recommend it.

Very Good
I just purchased my third bottle. My hair is everything to me, its thick, full, and color-treated about 4 shades my original color. I'm diligent when it comes to protecting my hair. I apply the Initialiste to my scalp in sections every time I wash my hair (about twice a week). When my uncolored treated hair started coming out, it looked shinier and stronger. After I retouched my roots, the area is still as smooth and shiny and strong as before. So, as my hair is growing and I'm coloring it, it still looks vibrant and healthy. I stopped using it for about three washes, just because I didn't plan my repurchasing time well enough, and my hair seems to lack life. That might just be me knowing I haven't been applying it to my scalp and probably freaking myself out. Regardless, I'm satisfied and I don't think I'll stop buying it.

Transformed my dry damaged hair
I purchased this 3 weeks ago and cannot believe the results I have had using after each shampoo. My hair was seriously broken off and damaged from a Keratin treatment gone bad and after 3 uses, my hair had been renewed as much as it can be.

Fitting that's it's in a gold bottle!
I just bought my second bottle... I can't go without this. I have 40 year old thinning, color treated hair.. that has been just limp and tired looking. This product gives me shine and bounce (along with a few other Keratase products that I won't go without either) I'm so glad it was recommended to me. It gives the look that an oil would but not greasey or weighted down.

Just what I needed!
I'm on my second bottle of this wonderful stuff!!! First off it smells heavenly. I wish I could find a perfume that smells like this. I have mid 40 color treated hair that is thinning and just plain blah. Since using this serum my hair loss is almost non existent. I used to find a clump of hair in the shower drain every time I washed, no more!!! I will NEVER go without this product. My hair is shiny bouncy and feels so soft. I use everything kerastase and I love it! Again the smell of this serum is INCREDIBLE!!! I highly recommend this product. The bottle lasts quite a long time too.

Would have been 5 stars except no discount applied
Had code for 20% off. This is second time I was not allowed to use my discount codes. Love products but will not be ordering again in future and will be cancelling auto ships if this cannot be fixed.

A must have for your hair!
I keep coming back to this time and time again. Although it is a little pricey it is well worth it and for me it lasts for 3 months. With continued usage my hair is softer, has less split ends and I have even experienced new hair growth. My hair feels and looks healthier and fuller. I would recommend this to everyone! Added bonus it smells amazing as well.

Can't live without
I read the reviews before purchasing and decided to try it. I can't be without it. You notice immediately softness, shine, strength and since I have used it I have new hair growth. Yes very expensive and will last you about a month but worth every penny.

Love this Product!
I am about to buy for the 3rd time!! I can totally see a difference in my hair. I started this time using on my daughter's hair and I think it has done even more for hers!! Her hair is soft, thicker, and shinier. My hair is typically so dry from highlights and even my hair dresser was running her hands through my hair and noticed a difference!! So happy to have this product.

My hairdresser used and recommended this product to me and I LOVE IT! My hair was thinning in the top and I can physically see a difference after just 14 days of use. I have to admit I was skeptical at first and now I am a firm believer and forever customer!

Wonderful Shine
I have been using this for several months and can honestly say it has added shine and manageability to my hair. For the record, my hair is a crazy mix of curly, wavy, and even some straighter pieces, and this stuff really helps!

Definitely great!
It nourished my scalp without making it greasy. Actually, my hair was starting to show white hairs more so I panicked and bought this. I feel like it stopped the process. I will buy my second bottle now. Initial bottle was bought in January and I have been using it for the past 8 months :)

Its good
I am using this from 2 weeks along with BAIN STIMULISTE GL and BAIN EXFOLIANT HYDRATANT because i have dandruff and bad hair fall.
Without any doubt my hair feel soft but hair loss is not much in control.
I can see there are so many other products from Kerastase for hait loss and I am really confused what all I should buy.
Can someone please help me .
I have shoulder length hair,have become very thin and too much hair fall.

Absolutely great!
This is my second time using this and I can see my thin , blonde, highly processed hair coming back to life! I can only say that I finally found the product and the line that I will always use from now on! Simply saved my hair! My hairstylist was so happy when he saw me with this nice , healthy looking, soft to touch hair! It gives not only shine and body but it feels so good to touch and it looks great! I use this in combination with the oleo serum.
The only downside for me is that the bottle seems very big but is so little product inside! And I am only using 3-4 pumps.!!
