A Serum For Your Hair? Kérastase’s NEW Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum Will Change The Way You Care For Your Locks

Chances are you’re already familiar with facial serums. They’re highly concentrated, yet lightweight products, that deliver nutrients to the skin. They’re very popular in beauty routines all over the world, because they’re highly effective. But have you heard of hair serums before? Kérastase has taken inspiration from the skincare industry and recently launched Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum, an overnight treatment aiming to deliver 8 hours of nourishment for the hair. Below I’m sharing everything you need to know about this highly innovative product and answering one very important question: does it work?

Kérastase Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum

The Kérastase Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum is the brand’s newest product. Designed for optimizing your beauty sleep, this leave-in serum restores hair overnight, leaving it soft and nourished by morning. It’s the kind of product that works while you rest and without requiring any additional work. To care for the hair, Nutritive 8HR Night Serum targets hair with 2 primary benefits:

• Capitalizes on a full night’s sleep to completely replace moisture and nutrients stripped from the hair by deeply penetrating the hair fiber
• Gives hair overnight protection by hydrating and preventing friction from pillows that can rough the hair’s cuticle

Just like a rich night cream, this serum jam-packs serious nutrition overnight with a powerful fusion of Vitamin B Complex and Iris Root Extract for complete restoration of dry and brittle locks. It has a lightweight cream texture and a little goes a long way. It can be applied on dry or damp hair. You apply it before bedtime, no need to rinse in the morning.

The serum also features an evolving fragrance that transforms from relaxing floral notes at night to an awakening scent in the morning. I love that! For me, skincare and haircare are such sensorial experiences. I don’t find the aromas overpowering, but those sensitive to scents should probably try a sample first.

Packaging

The Kérastase Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum comes in a luxurious, weighty glass bottle featuring a beautiful ombre effect and with a pump dispenser.

My Experience

I tend to put my hair through the wringer on a day-to-day basis. Between styling, exposure to environmental aggressors (sun, sea/pool water, pollution) and balyage highlighting, my hair can become quite worn and literally exhausted! Plus one of my style icons, Emily Ratajkowski swears by this product! So, I couldn’t wait to try the Kérastase Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum!

I’ve been using this hair serum for about two weeks now. Emily mentioned in the press release that she uses it every night. I like to use it about 3-4 times a week, usually after I wash and blow dry my hair at night, as well as on those nights, when I know I’ll style my hair the next day or spend the next day at the beach or pool.

I start by dispensing just one pump in my hand and working it onto my hair, running my fingers along the lengths of my hair, but focusing the product on the ends. The serum is amazing! It truly feels like a rich, nourishing night cream, but for your main mane! This product has helped strengthen my hair, leaving it more manageable and shinier by the morning. It doesn’t weigh down my hair because it’s so light, yet it makes such a difference on my ends!

The Kérastase Nutritive 8HR Magic Night Serum is available at Sephora and on the Kérastase website here.
