Entering the world of Kérastase is like stepping into a luxury salon. You'd probably see impeccably arranged products, smell a discreet fragrance, and be tempted to buy everything, right?

1. Nutritive: For Dry and Dehydrated Hair
Who is it for? If your hair feels rough to the touch, dull, lacking shine, and seems to "beg" for constant hydration, the Nutritive range is your best friend. It's ideal for any hair type suffering from dryness.
What does it actually do? Nutritive is about deep nourishment. Its formulas penetrate the hair fiber to restore elasticity, suppleness, and a healthy, silky appearance.

- Bain Satin 1 & 2: Gentle shampoos for cleansing and hydration.
- Masquintense: An iconic mask for intense nourishment.
- Nectar Thermique: A leave-in cream that protects against heat.
2. Resistance: Repairing Damaged Hair
Who is it for? This range is your hair's savior if it's damaged, fragile, brittle, or prone to easy breakage. It's ideal after repeated coloring or excessive use of heat styling tools.
What does it actually do? The formulas in the Resistance range work to rebuild the hair fiber from within. It's like repairing the walls of a house to make it more solid.
- Key Products:
- Bain Force Architecte: A repairing shampoo for weakened hair.
- Ciment Anti-Usure: A conditioner that strengthens the hair fiber.
- Masque Force Architecte: An intense mask for deep repair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I combine products from different Kérastase ranges?
Absolutely! The "layering" approach is even recommended. For example, you can use a shampoo from the Resistance range for repair, but a mask from the Nutritive range for extra hydration. Listen to your hair and adapt your routine.
How often should I use a Kérastase mask?
Generally, once a week is enough. However, if your hair is very damaged, you can increase the frequency to twice a week. The key is observing how your hair reacts.
What is the main difference between Resistance and Genesis?
Resistance focuses on repairing damaged hair fiber. Genesis, on the other hand, has a dual action: it combats both hair loss from the root and breakage along the lengths.
