New Kerastase Men’s Line – Homme Capital Force

When it comes to eyeshadow, foundation, gloss, etc. I have my favorites, but they’re ever-changing as I try out new things. When it comes to hair care however, Kerastase is a constant favorite. When my hair is a nest of knots, when it’s dry as can be – even when it’s a frizzy summer disaster, Kerastase has proven that it can solve my hair issues (I opt for their shampoo and use their hair masques as conditioner). Now Kerastase has added a men’s line, Homme Capital Force, to their line-up. The collection includes treatment and cleansing products for oily and thinning hair as well as two styling products – a gel and paste.

The line’s main focus is addressing the concern almost every man (and woman…sadly!), has which is thinning hair. Unfortunately Kerastase didn’t include a conditioner (just leave-in treatments). My dad used their densifying shampoo (product list after the jump), but then complained that while he loved the smell – a wooded spice green fragrance with some of my favorite notes including amber and ceder – he had a hard time combing through his hair after. I’m sure given the amount of hair he has this wouldn’t have been a problem had he opted to use a leave-in treatment, but he (and most men I know), can’t be bothered to take two seconds to figure out what that even is! I’m venturing to guess that Kerastase’s target male demographic would be willing to use the full line from shampoo to treatment to styling to achieve their desired results, but it’s a shame that they didn’t add in a densifying conditioner for people like my dad who are into pampering themselves, but not into veering off the basics with sprays and gels.
