It washes, conditions, treats and protects for blow-drying. The shampoo contains sulfates and two products contain silicones.

What is inside

• Bain Force Architecte 250ml: strengthening shampoo
• Ciment Anti-Usure 200ml: strengthening conditioner for regular washes
• Masque Force Architecte 200ml: reconstructing mask for intensive care
• Ciment Thermique 150ml: heat-activated leave-in with protection up to 230°C according to Kérastase

Who it suits

Damaged, weak hair that is blow-dried often, especially in Cyprus where sun, sea water and humidity add to the wear.

What it will not do

• It is not sulfate-free. The shampoo contains sodium laureth sulfate and other sulfates.
• It is not silicone-free. The mask and the Ciment Thermique contain silicones.
• It will not mend split ends. Only a trim does.

Good to know

You do not need the conditioner and the mask at every wash. Kérastase suggests alternating them depending on how much conditioning the hair needs. The conditioner contains yellow 5 and blue 1 colourants. The full ingredient list of each product is below.

Step 1 KERASTASE Résistance Bain Force Architecte

Apply to wet hair.

Massage gently into the scalp and hair until a lather forms.

Rinse thoroughly.

Repeat if necessary.

Step 2 KERASTASE Résistance Ciment Anti Usure

Apply to washed and towel-dried hair.

Distribute through the mid-lengths and ends.

Leave on for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Rinse thoroughly.

For regular washes, use this as your conditioning step.

Step 3 KERASTASE Résistance Masque Force Architecte

Use when the hair needs a more intensive treatment.

Apply to washed and towel-dried mid-lengths and ends.

Leave on for approximately 5 minutes.

Rinse thoroughly.

The mask does not need to be used together with the conditioner at every wash. Alternate between Ciment Anti Usure and Masque Force Architecte depending on the level of conditioning your hair needs.

Step 4 KERASTASE Résistance Ciment Thermique

Apply to washed and towel-dried hair.

Distribute through the mid-lengths and ends.

Do not rinse.

Blow-dry and style as desired.

Provides heat protection up to 230°C.
