With age, women are predisposed to experience inevitable biological changes that require supplementation. Similar to her body, a woman’s hair changes over time. The scalp and hair also follow a series of biological changes.

Kérastase Paris has identified three characteristics specific to mature scalps and hair.

1. Fibro-porosity which refers to the excessive weakness of the hair.

2. Loss of hair density (including thinning of the hair).

3. Dry scalp.

Kérastase Paris introduces the Système Pro-Supplenium technology, a combination of protective and fortifying technologies to address the three main concerns of mature scalps and hair. Result: Increased in volume, hair feels regenerated and appears revitalised.

The limited edition Kérastase Soleil collection is available for the 2009/2010 summer season

Just like your skin, hair can suffer from over-exposure to the sun. This is particularly true during summer when our hair is exposed to UV damage, chlorine, saltwater and air-conditioning. Continual exposure to summer’s harsh elements can cause the protective layer of the hair fibre to break down and the hair’s natural waterproofing ability to decrease. The result is porous, sensitised hair that is prone to colour fade, dullness and brittleness.

The more sensitised hair is, the less it is able to defend itself against these aggressions – especially throughout summer. Coloured and highlighted hair is particularly vulnerable to summer’s daily aggressors, which is why it requires additional care and protection during the hotter months.

The Kérastase Paris Soleil range includes a range of advanced haircare solutions for all your summer hair needs.  As each hair type has specific needs in the sun, Kérastase has created a sun care index. Three degrees of protection according to the hair’s needs help protect from the damaging effects of summer aggressions.

Products in the Soleil collection contain state-of-art technologies developed by the expertise of the advanced L’Oréal Laboratories to keep your hair healthy during the summer months and beyond. Hair is nourished after sun exposure and is left looking more beautiful, silky and soft.

HARNESS THE POWER OF HEAT WITH KÉRASTASE CHROMA THERMIQUE A REVOLUTIONARY THERMO-RADIANCE PROTECTING MILK FOR COLOUR-TREATED HAIR

Dull, sensitised hair fibre and lack of radiance are key challenges for women with colour-treated hair. Hair that has been coloured is particularly sensitive to a loss of shine, brittleness of hair fibre and the fading of colour.   These women are looking for a care product that can repair their sensitised hair fibre and revive the shine of their colour whilst providing them with the opportunity to safely style hair.  Introducing Kérastase Paris Chroma Thermique, the first thermo-radiance milk that utilises heat as a source of care to repair and polish coloured hair by working with heat styling appliances allowing for a deeper penetration of active ingredients.  Chroma Thermique uses exceptional thermo-shine technology to leave hair supple and easier to style with sublime radiance and shine. The lightweight protective radiance milk utilises heat activated technology to smooth and protect the hair from breakage and colour fade while preserving the brightness of colour, resulting in a glossy hair substance.  Heat styling becomes a source of light and care for your hair and the result is soft and silky hair with colour brilliance and spectacular shine.

PLUMP UP THE VOLUME WITH VOLUMORPHOSE, STARTING OCTOBER 09!

INTRODUCING THE NEW BODY INJECTION RITUAL FROM KÉRASTASE PARIS

Flat, limp hair is a common problem amongst women who strive for a solution to achieve body, volume and fullness. While advanced ‘plumpers’ and ‘fillers’ have long been used in skincare, Kérastase Paris is now launching a revolutionary patented formula to help transform fine hair with body and fullness.

Unlike other volumising services, the exclusive new in-salon Kérastase Volumorphose Body Injection Ritual contains innovative patented technology to help plump up fine hair from the inside, leaving it feeling thicker with added volume from root to tip. The Ritual is also effective in strengthening the hair fibre through new Intra-Cylane™ technology.

Intra-Cylane™ is a molecule with the power to ‘auto-expand’ and develop into a 3-dimensional skeleton within the hair fibre. Intra-cylane penetrates the hair cuticle layers and deploys a replenishing network at the heart of the hair fibre for instant and long-lasting thickening of the hair.

The in-salon Ritual is to be used in conjunction with the Volumactive homecare programme consisting of the new Kérastase Lait Volumintense and the existing Bain and Masque Volumactive.

Kerastase Nectar Thermique

Kérastase Paris introduces Nectar Thermique: a thermo-protective, leave-in nourishing cream for ultimate hair softness and smoothing which becomes the solution for blow drying hair easily and without damaging the hair fibre.

For the first time, heat becomes a partner for dry hair as the nectar formulation with the unique benefits of Royal Jelly coats the hair fibre to intensely nourish, releasing the ultimate softness and shine under the action of heat.

Nectar Thermique (RRP$42.00) is part of the Kérastase Nutritive collection prescribed for dry to very dry hair. It is suitable for daily use.

Kerastase Oleo-Relax Slim

The latest introduction to the Kérastase Paris Oléo-Relax collection is a volume-slimming and smoothing haircare programme, indulgent and butter-like in texture, ideal for nourishing and controlling dry, very rebellious hair.
