With 2,300 tests conducted worldwide, the Kérastase styling products are avant-garde formulations, a range of 6 unique products with an alliance of fusion hold and freedom of movement for highly personalised hairstyles. With Kerastase Couture Styling, it is no longer about styling practises proven harmful to beauty and to the health of hair fiber. It’s no longer about stiff volumes, sculpted locks and overblown style effects… it’s about designing highly customised hairstyles with perfect finishes that assert every woman’s unique, remarkable personality. It’s about ensuring hold and freedom of movement that is both sensual and lasting. The products of Kérastase Couture Styling offer high performance and a clean touch without residue. They are empowered with a new generation of microfilm fixative polymers enveloping the hair fiber with an extensible mesh to give a hold without freezing the hair. Inspired by skincare textures, the products are delicate, easy to apply, and weightless to touch, leaving no residue in the hair. The products also have essential care qualities like UV filters for protection from the sun, antioxidant vitamin E and a heat-protective agent called Xylose, a sugar which is naturally found in wood. They also have the capacity to neutralise frizz and maintain the hairstyle.
