Step 1

Apply the Resistance Bain Extentioniste Shampoo to wet hair and massage your scalp to release its purifying, Creatine R-enriched ingredients that boost elasticity. This specialised shampoo is designed to enhance hair growth and fight against weakened hair prone to breakage by stregthening its internal structure. Rinse well and proceed to the Extentioniste Masque application. Towel-dry your hair to remove any excess water. Use no more than a handful amount of the mask and apply from the roots to the ends. Leave-in for 5 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Deep restoration formulates the Extentioniste Masque, conditioning brittle hair and penetrating the follicles to treat and restore radiant health.

Step 2

Apply a maximum of 3 pipettes of Extentioniste Serum along key sections of the scalp and onto damp hair. Using the pads of the fingers to work the serum into the scalp using circular motions. The importance of leave-in treatment lies in its energizing powers. The active ingredients of this serum soothe hair texture, support longer lengths, and create a non-greasy formula that harnesses the power of Ceramides to protect the scalp from environmental aggressors while stimulating the roots.

Step 3

A key, unmissable step in any hair routine would be pre-styling protectors. Heath damages the hair at many levels, so applying the Extentioniste Thermique cream provides that much-needed thermo-protection . In its empowered version, Kérastase successfully combines ofglaçage Thermo-Ceal, Creatine R and Taurine to instantly seal and resurface the hair fibre, proven to reduce breakage by 93% after as single application.

Step 4

Style your hair — whether you’re blow-drying, using a curler or a straightner, make sure you’re styling it gently and preventing the heat from creating excess damage. Avoid exposing your hair to heat for an extended time, and for blow-dryers, keep the nozzle around 15cm away from your hair and make sure that you’re using a wooden brush as ceramics can cause splits and breakage. If you’re using a curler or a straightner, find the perfect level of heat to suit your hair type to make sure that it doesn’t overpower and damage your hair.

Step 5

Post-styling, apply 1 or 2 pumps of the Elixir Ultime Original Oil and comb your fingers through your hair. The oil focuses on sealing the ends after styling, so start applying it from mid-lengths and work your way to the ends. With this oil, Kérastase created a formula that nourishes and adds the perfect natural shine. Its blend of maize and camellia oils make their way into the deep fibres of the hair, leaving it enriched with emollient and antioxidant active ingredients, deep conditioning and protection.
