Hair fall has more than one cause, and the routine that helps depends on which one you are dealing with. Here is how we approach it at Reflexions.
Understanding hair fall and breakage
Most of what people call hair fall is breakage — hair snapping along the length rather than releasing from the root. Stress, heat styling, hard water, colouring and rough handling all contribute. Breakage responds well to cosmetic care. Shedding from the root, sudden loss, or patchy loss is a different matter and belongs with a doctor or trichologist, not a shampoo. Our stylists use scalp diagnostics in salon to tell the two apart before recommending anything.
Our top picks
- Best shampoo for hair fall from breakage: Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant if your hair is fine or your scalp tends oily, or Bain Nutri-Fortifiant if your hair is dry. Both strengthen the fibre while cleansing gently.
- Best masque for breakage: Kérastase Genesis Masque Reconstituant. A weekly treatment that targets the damaged zones along the fibre and replenishes them, so hair combs through without snapping.
- Best serum: Kérastase Genesis Sérum Fortifiant. A daily leave-in with Aminexil that works at the root to help hair anchor more solidly into the scalp.
- If dandruff is part of the picture: Kérastase Symbiose Bain Crème Anti-Pelliculaire for dry or sensitised hair, or Bain Pureté Anti-Pelliculaire if your scalp is oilier. Both use piroctone olamine and salicylic acid.
