If your hair is coloured, Pure Volume is gentler on it. If you want the Densifique Cure Femme scalp treatment as well, stay with Kérastase.

Can volume products help with thinning hair?
Volume products make hair look fuller and help with lift. They don't treat hair loss. If you've noticed sudden shedding, patches or a widening part, see your GP or a dermatologist first, since there can be health causes behind it. Once that's checked, we're happy to help with a routine for density and body.
