The Kerastase Specifique Bain Divalent Shampoo is a French salon-grade balancing shampoo formulated with Vitamin B6 and Glycine to purify oily roots while nourishing dry, sensitised lengths. This silicone-free, hypoallergenic formula regulates sebum at the scalp without stripping the mid-lengths and ends, leaving hair lightweight, glossy and easier to detangle. The 250ml bottle is available at MedX Pharmacy with fast delivery across Dubai, the UAE and the wider GCC.

Why This Balancing Shampoo Works

Oily roots and dry ends are opposite problems on the same head of hair, and most oil-control shampoos fix one by worsening the other. Bain Divalent takes a dual-action approach. Amino-acid based surfactants build a dense foam that traps sebum, product build-up and pollution particles so they rinse cleanly away, while conditioning agents deposit along the sensitised lengths. Kerastase consumer testing reports up to 61% more volume at the roots versus unwashed hair and 20% easier detangling.

Ideal For

This shampoo suits anyone with a combination scalp: greasy at the roots within a day of washing, yet dry, frizzy or sensitised through the mid-lengths and ends. It is a strong fit for fine and colour-treated hair that flattens under heavier oil-control formulas, and for UAE residents whose scalps produce more oil in humid coastal heat or after frequent gym sessions. It is not a dandruff treatment; Kerastase offers a dedicated anti-dandruff range for flaking and itching concerns.

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl): Helps slow the overproduction of sebum at the scalp, so roots stay lighter and fresher for longer between washes.

• Glycine (Caprylol Glycine): A moisturising, strengthening amino acid derivative that fixes onto sensitised areas of the hair fibre, nourishing dry ends and smoothing split-prone lengths.

• Salicylic Acid: Gently clarifies the scalp surface, lifting build-up and impurities that leave hair feeling coated, itchy or heavy.

• Menthoxypropanediol: Adds a light cooling sensation during the wash for a refreshed, comfortable scalp finish.

The formula is silicone-free and hypoallergenic, and has been tested under dermatological control for safety.

1. Dampen hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.

2. Apply a coin-sized amount of Bain Divalent directly to the scalp.

3. Massage gently from scalp through to the ends to build the lather and stimulate micro-circulation.

4. Rinse thoroughly, then repeat if needed, concentrating the second cleanse on the lengths.

Follow with a Kerastase conditioner or mask applied to the mid-lengths and ends only. The shampoo can be used daily or as needed, depending on how quickly your roots turn greasy.
