Prepare for the colder months with new products from Kérastase Paris. From an overnight baume to a new high hold hairspray, each launch offers luxurious formulas and benefits for all hair types.
Elixir Ultime Original Oil
Kérastase’s Elixir Ultime Original Oil is getting a makeover. The revamped formula includes Camellia and Marula oils to help revive the natural strength of hair, provide nourishment deep into the hair fiber and give hair shine.
To Use:
Pre-Cleanse: Apply to brushed hair and rinse out before applying shampoo to remove impurities
Pre-Blow Dry: Apply to towel-dried hair and blow dry as normal for additional protection
Finishing: Work into the ends of the hair to control frizz, smooth and style
Touch-up: Apply a drop to ends throughout the day for a touch of shine as needed.
Aura Botanica Masque Fondamental Riche
One of the latest additions to the brand’s natural-origin collection, this nourishing intensive masque is designed for dry, thick hair. The formula melts into the hair fiber for up to 96 hours of lasting smoothness and frizz control. Hair is left supple and soft to the touch thanks to its high concentration of natural oils.
Aura Botanica Baume Miracle
This multipurpose nourishing baume is a dry hair remedy designed for both immediate care and overnight treatment. A new addition to the brand’s Aura Botanica natural-origin collection, the baume serves as an intensive leave-in conditioner and protective barrier from external aggressors throughout the day, while also providing deep regeneration and healing throughout the night.
To Use:
Length Healer: Treat dry hair by warming a pea size amount in the palm of hands. Comb through on dry lengths.
Overnight Savior: For deep healing, apply before bed and twist hair to intensify penetration.
Skin Salve: Use as a targeted regeneration balm on dry parts of the body such as hands, knees, feet and cracked elbows. Leaves skin supple for an instantly nourishing touch.
Laque Extrême
This hold hairspray locks in volume and adds shine without any stiffness or residue. Laque Extrême features the brand’s latest technology: a super-fine, fast-drying mist spray with the highest concentration level of polymers in each drop. Consisting of three individual actuators for precise targeting and application, this new hairspray sets hairstyles in all the right places for touchable, long-lasting results.
