KÉRASTASE Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo for Oily Scalp, 8.5 fl oz — lightweight, volumizing cleanse

KÉRASTASE Bain Divalent is a lightweight balancing shampoo designed to remove excess oil at the roots while nourishing mid-lengths and ends for soft, shiny hair.

This salon-grade formula targets the common combination concern of oily scalp with drier ends. It cleanses sebum and environmental buildup from the scalp without stripping the lengths, using amino acids, ceramides, and vitamin B6 to support hair fiber and leave visible volume at the roots. The texture is ultra-light, making it suitable for those who want a clean scalp and manageable, hydrated ends without heavy residue.

How does this shampoo control oil at the scalp without drying hair?

The balanced formula focuses cleansing action at the roots while providing conditioning ingredients for the lengths. Gentle surfactants and amino acids remove impurities, and ceramides plus vitamin B6 help reinforce the fiber to prevent overproduction of oil from repeated irritation.

• Targets sebum and pollutants at the scalp for a fresh, clean base.
• Amino acids condition the fiber to reduce surface damage and friction.
• Ceramides help protect mid-lengths and ends from becoming brittle.
• Lightweight texture avoids weighing hair down, boosting root volume.

When and how should I use Bain Divalent for best results?

Use on wet hair during your regular washing routine; massage into the scalp then rinse and repeat with extra attention to the ends on the second pass. This double-cleansing method ensures impurities are fully removed while the second application leaves lengths softer.

• Apply to wet hair, lather at scalp, rinse thoroughly.
• Repeat once, focusing the second pass on mid-lengths and ends.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if needed.
• Follow with KÉRASTASE Potentialiste Serum or Masque Réhydratant for rebalancing.

What results can I expect after using this balancing shampoo?

Most users notice a cleaner scalp with increased lift at the roots and smoother, shinier lengths. The formula is designed to leave hair feeling breathable at the scalp while maintaining softness through the ends, creating an overall balanced look and texture.

• Reduced oily buildup at the root for a lighter scalp feel.
• Visible added volume for previously flat hair.
• Hydrated, softer mid-lengths and ends without heaviness.
• Protection from environmental aggressors thanks to vitamin B6.

Can Bain Divalent be combined with other treatments in the Specifique range?

Yes—the shampoo is formulated to work with KÉRASTASE Specifique treatments. Pairing it with complementary products helps restore balance, hydrate strands, and protect hair fiber for longer-lasting results.

• Use with Potentialiste Serum to strengthen and rebalance the scalp.
• Follow with Masque Réhydratant to replenish moisture in the lengths.
• Regular use supports reduced oxidation stress on the fiber.
• Suitable for those seeking a tailored routine for combination hair concerns.

Who this is for: KÉRASTASE Bain Divalent is formulated for people with combination hair—oily roots and dry or fragile ends—who want a professional, gentle cleanse that lifts at the roots and conditions the lengths. It suits anyone seeking salon-style balance without heavy conditioning residue, especially those wanting added volume at the scalp and smoother, protected ends.
