Kérastase Première Decalcifying Duo for Damaged Hair & Elixir Ultime Oil Blog Detail

Calcium in water can further damage already delicate over-processed or bleached hair. Being more porous, damaged hair can absorb up to three times more calcium than natural hair. This haircare trio are formulated with a concentration of pure citric acid and glycine to decalcify hair from calcium overdose, visibly repair, and reduce its stiff, dull appearance.

Kérastase Première Decalcifying System Reparative Shampoo 250ml: Restores hair’s original strength* while providing up to 73% shinier hair** by freeing hair from calcium build-up that leads to breakage.
Kérastase Première Decalcifying Repairing Shampoo is a decalcifying, repairing shampoo for all types of over-processed or damaged hair. This professional-level shampoo gently cleanses the scalp and hair while removing excess calcium***, which further weakens treated hair. Use the full routine to help repair hair from the inside out, reduce breakage and restore a healthy feel to the hair.
A white creamy shampoo that transforms into a luxurious foam, its dual action fights the calcium overdose from hard water that attacks your already damaged or bleached hair, leaving it dull, lifeless, and limp. It also helps restore keratin links within the hair shaft, repairing hair at the core. Your hair feels smooth, manageable, and bouncy.
Kérastase recommend layering the Première Decalcifying Repairing Shampoo on top of Kérastase Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment without rinsing first for maximum results. Finish your routine with other products from the Première range, like the Repairing Conditioner or the Anti-Breakage Repairing Filler Mask.

Kérastase Première Anti-Rigidity Decalcifying Repairing Conditioner 200ml: Up to 7x smoother* hair while providing up to 82% shinier hair*, and up to 2x softer hair*.
Kérastase’s first decalcifying repairing conditioner for all types of damaged hair. It works to recreate hair’s natural movement and bounce when used as part of the Première routine strengthening the fibre. Instantly, movement is restored to over-processed or bleached hair.

When hair is already damaged, excess calcium will accumulate, further weakening the cuticle and cortex of the hair. Kérastase Anti-Rigidity Decalcifying Repairing Conditioner dual action fights the effect of the calcium overdose, first decalcifying, then repairing hair. The rigid feel of hair, due to calcium in hard water, is neutralised, to protect against breakage, and helps repair hair from the inside out.** Kérastase Première Anti-Rigidity Decalcifying Repairing Conditioner envelops hair with its lightweight jelly-like texture and helps restore hair strength and resilience. Your hair is left amazingly soft, smooth, and supple.
First, use the pre-shampoo treatment, Kérastase Première Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo treatment, and without rinsing, layer on Kérastase Repairing Shampoo for maximum decalcifying and repairing results followed by the conditioner.
