ISSUE 01 - NOV 2013
LUSCIOUS LOCKS Your scalp is the root where voluminous hair begins. It's also considered as part of your skin, which is why you should care for it the way you care for the rest of your body. This very theory served as an inspiration to Kérastase when launching its rst product in 1964, the Emulsion Riche, and many of its iconic must-haves since.
Kérastase takes this inspiration one step further with the concept of 'skinication', a notion that treats hair as a living matter and applies the L’Oréal R&D knowledge about skincare to develop unique hair formulations. Come discover exclusive ingredients and sensational scents with Kérastase’s scalp-specic solutions for sumptuous hair.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
Luscious hair has much to do with how healthy your scalp is. Because the skin on your scalp is unique – it is the only area of skin where every function (sebaceous, perspiratory and follicular) comes together in an active manner – just about anything can compromise its health. So if your hair isn’t looking up to par, then it’s time to examine what’s happening at your scalp. Ready for your scalp close-up?
SCALP MYTHS!
Think you know your scalp well? Think again.
ITCHY AND DRY SCALP
The lack of oil on the scalp's surface causes it to become dry and itchy, resulting in discomfort and inammation. You know you have a dry scalp when you’re constantly scratching it, a damaging habit which causes aking of the scalp as a result.
OILY AND GREASY SCALP
Like your skin, your scalp can be oily due to overlyactive sebum production. Pores become clogged, preventing them from 'breathing'or removing toxins. Excess dirt will accumulate, and thick akes start to form and stick to your hair.

SENSITIVE SCALP
If your scalp is feeling uncomfortable, chances are you have a sensitive scalp. Obvious symptoms include burning and tingling sensations. Sensitivity happens when the scalp is 'attacked' by microinammations caused by chemicals and stress.
HAIR LOSS Hair goes through a natural growth cycle where we lose up to 100 strands a day. But if you’re losing more strands than this, then hair loss can be an issue. Also, when your natural hair parting becomes more obvious, it shows that you're losing hair faster than it's growing.
HAIR THINNING If your hair feels less voluminous than it used to be, then you could be facing hair thinning where bare patches or a transparent quality to the hair revealing more of your scalp is apparent. While genetics is usually the main cause, stress and medication can also result in the problem.
SIGNS OF A HEALTHY SCALP!
Your scalp is in tip-top condition if it is... 1 In a pink tone. 2 Not greasy or dry. 3 Without akes or oily residue.
4 Smooth to the touch. 5 Comfortable and doesn’t itch, tingle or burn.
1
Brush often for even stronger locks. BUSTED! One hundred strokes is not the key to healthy hair; you’re only putting stress on your hair follicles. If you must brush often, use a widetooth comb.
2
Hair grows faster when you trim it regularly. BUSTED! While regular trims keep your hair free from damaged ends, it won't speed up the growth rate. What you want is healthy hair as it grows so use the right products to nourish the scalp where growth begins.
3
Frequent shampooing causes the scalp to become oilier. BUSTED! The body produces oil on your scalp at a xed rate. In fact, shampooing often keeps the scalp healthy and fresh!
SAY NO TO HAIR LOSS! Here’s a home treatment that’s easy and convenient to use, and helps you get stronger and denser locks while preventing hair loss. Plagued by thinning hair and hair loss?

PRESERVATION PHASE To preserve hair quality, use Aminexil GL M® every two days followed by Kérastase Stimuliste, a scalp tonic, on the third day. PREVENTION PHASE When hair loss is less obvious, use Aminexil GL M® on the rst day followed by two days of scalp tonic application to prevent future hair loss.

“MY ONE HAIR OBSESSION!"
We caught up with singer Atilia Haron on the hair product she’s lusting over.
INGREDIENTS YOU'LL LOVE Native plant cells taken from Malus Domestica, an ancient and rare variety of apple known for its outstanding preservative powers, help strengthen hair follicles. Gluco-Lipids (SP94) acts on hair’s outer sheath and directly on stem-cell reservoirs. This ingredient helps strengthen hair follicles and provides energy to aid hair metabolism. Antioxidant polyphenols protect hair’s stem-cell environment from environmental factors like UV rays. Ceramides mimic hair’s natural ceramides to strengthen hair bre. HOW IT WORKS! Because hair stem cells play a vital role in hair health and renewal, Initialiste helps to improve the environment – particularly the scalp – to enhance the quality of hair bre
DID YOU KNOW? Hair stem cells play a vital role in regeneration. While mostly inactive, they become active on average every three years to help the hair fibre renew itself. Initialiste then enhances the quality of hair fibre from the moment it starts to grow!
"Af ter using Initialiste, my hair's now light, shin y and healthy _ even friends have notice d!"
What's your hair routine like? “It's very basic. I usually just use a shampoo and conditioner. My hair can be dry and coarse at times so I’ve to use lots of serum. And I usually wash my hair at salons because it becomes very curly and frizzy when I dry it on my own.” What are your hair concerns? “Not only is my hair ne, I feel like I’m losing a lot of it. It’s got different textures as well – curly at the roots and straight near the ends. Because I have straightened it many times, the original texture is ruined. I have to take good care of it and use the right products to ensure it’s in the best condition – that’s where Kérastase Initialiste comes in!” How different is your hair after using Initialiste? “When I started using Initialiste, I was concerned that my hair would become oily. After using it, I don’t feel anything weighing my hair down; my hair’s light, and it has helped my hair grow. Another thing I’ve noticed is that it’s now shiny and healthy – even my friends have noticed it!”
