Let’s jump into the science behind these ingredients:

A combination of ginger root, creatine, and expanding polymer instantly offers hair more volume by strengthening the hair fibres and plumping the hair. Aminexil is the star ingredient featured in the Genesis Homme serum that prevents hair loss. Using the full Genesis Homme product line gives your hair a cocktail of goodness resulting in hair that will look fuller in no time.

​GINGER ROOT provides a number of benefits for hair. First, it stimulates blood flow which leads to increased hair growth. Second, ginger root has been shown to reduce scalp problems, like dandruff, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Third, it is an antioxidant which helps prevent split ends and breakage. And finally, the fatty acid chains in ginger root act as a deep conditioner for creating strong, healthy hair!

CREATINE repairs and strengthens hair fibres from the inside out. Creatine is a naturally-occurring derivative of amino acids, whose purpose in hair products is to help to boost cell metabolism and deeply moisturize dry scalps and hair. It also provides protection against heat damage and harmful UV rays. All of these benefits lead to fuller hair!
​
AMINEXIL is a bit of a superstar around here. It works by widening the blood vessels and promoting greater blood flow to the hair follicles - and of course more blood flow = more nutrients = happy hair! Aminexil works to prevent hair loss while stimulating re-growth, resulting in longer, thicker, and fuller hair. Additionally, Aminexil creates a more supple, hospitable scalp environment by gently melting collagen buildup that can otherwise harden causing breakage and damage.
​

Fun Fact: Research has shown that Aminexil counteracts hair loss in the Spring and maintains hair density in the Fall, a process influenced by the different phases of hair growth

​The Genesis Homme range includes two shampoos formulated for men's hair loss concerns.

​Bain de Force Quotidien + Bain de Masse Épaississant

We are so excited to introduce Kérastase's brand-new range of hair care products: Genesis Homme.
As the French name implies, the line is specifically designed for men's hair (Homme = man), with a focus on hair that is weakened and/or thinning. It is estimated that around 1/3 of men may experience hair loss by the age of 30. Contrary to popular belief, male hair loss is not all genetic - much of the hair loss experienced by men is actually caused by routine - that is why it is so important to use an appropriate hair care regime.
The Genesis Homme range shares similar anti-hair-fall properties with its counterpart, Genesis, but features a warmer scent with woody notes such as amber.  

​All in all, the range has shown great success in clinical and instrumental tests by Kérastase, with reduced hair loss in 6 weeks, 5x fuller hair, and 85% more hair fibre strength.

​Now let's give you a rundown of the product lineup:

If you're still unsure about any of the products or if they are right for your hair, you are welcome to book a free consultation with any of our stylists who can give you the information you need to best take care of your hair.
If you're dying to get your hands on this awesome line, you can now pre-order Genesis Homme through our website!

Two of Kerastase's most popular heat protectants are the Genesis Défense Thermique and the Chroma Absolu Serum Chroma Thermique. While using any heat protectant is a must when using hot tools, we are going to break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your hair. 


Both thermiques smooth the surface of the hair fibre and provide heat, humidity, and frizz protection.

Defense Thermique comes from Kerastase's Genesis range, which was developed specifically to prevent hair-fall and strengthen hair. This lightweight, leave-in lotion helps to fortify your hair fibre while protecting it from heat damage.

Serum Chroma Thermique is the heat protectant from the new Chroma Absolu line, which was created for coloured or sensitized hair to preserve colour from fading and increase shine, all while protecting from heat damage. 


Which heat protectant is right for your hair?
If you suffer from hair loss, hair-fall, or breakage, Genesis Defense Thermique is your best choice.
If your hair is colour-treated, Chroma Absolu Serum Chroma Thermique is for you.

We know what you’re probably thinking – “How can I be washing my hair wrong?” After all, you’ve only been doing it for years! But you might be surprised to learn that the wrong technique can lead to damage or even leave your hair looking greasy. Pretty ironic, huh? From the temperature of the water to how often you shampoo, here’s how to make the most of your cleansing ritual.

​First of all, you’ll want to identify your specific hair type concerns. Book a free consultation with one of Salon Society's stylists, who will be able to deliver your individual hair diagnosis and advise you on which products are right for you. Whatever your concern, our shampoos can help you to achieve salon-perfect results after every wash.
Each of our ranges are specially formulated to tackle specific concerns whilst providing effective gentle cleansing action. For example, those with fine hair that lacks volume might want to try the Densifique or Volumifique ranges. Our Nutritive and Resistance ranges can help to nourish and repair dry, brittle strands respectively, whilst those with unruly curly hair might want to opt for the anti-frizz, smoothing action of the Discipline line or the new Curl Manifesto range, formulated for all types of wavy, curly, and coily strands. Blondes can try the Blonde Absolu line, created specifically for blonde, lightened, or bleached hair. Finally, the brand-new Chroma Absolu line is the best option to protect coloured or sensitized hair.
​

Now that you’ve found the right shampoo, it’s time to take a closer look at your technique.

Here are some ways you can improve your hair washing technique:

• Remember to lather twice:  once to cleanse and a second time to treat and nourish.
• Use warm water to open the hair cuticle and rinse with cold water to seal the cuticle and avoid frizz.
• Don’t forget to massage: massaging your scalp in circular motions can stimulate circulation and leave it feeling refreshed.

​

The steps you take after shampooing also play a big role in keeping your hair healthy and radiant:

To maximize results in addressing your specific hair concern, we recommend using products from the same range.

Choose the right conditioner for your hair concerns.

When drying avoid rubbing which can lead to breakage and split ends, gently patting your hair dry instead. Last but not least - always use a thermo-protector if using heat for styling.

​It’s that simple! Hair washing, done like a pro.

Blonde hair looks its best when glossy and smooth. So what are the best ways to prevent dullness, damage and discolouration happening to your beloved blonde locks? We’ve got 4 tips to care for your blonde hair.

​
Gentle cleanse
Protect your blonde hair colour by using a gentle lightweight formula shampoo; perfect to soothe and hydrate hair from root to top, while illuminating blonde tones.

Keep conditioned
Conditioner specifically formulated for lightened hair will help your blonde last for longer, and maintain a good condition. A restorative conditioner, like Cicaflash, will give a super shot of care to your blonde hair, leaving it feeling silky soft and hydrated

Maintain your perfect tone
A violet shampoo, like Bain Ultra-Violet, used twice a week will help to neutralize brassiness and unwanted yellow tones in blonde or grey hair, for a nourished cool blonde. You can also use a violet mask, like the Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet, to neutralize brassiness and care for your blonde hair.

Perfect your style
​A leave-in heat protector can really help to care for blonde hair while helping to protect the hair from heat damage. Try Cicaplasme, a universal heat-protecting serum from the Blond Absolu range that offers up to 230℃ / 440℉ heat protection.
