The Care Ritual

Bathe – The hair is gently cleansed with the appropriate shampoo while the scalp is massaged. The massage not only stimulates blood circulation in the scalp but also enhances the effectiveness of the products.
Treat – According to the individual diagnosis and personal needs, a special treatment is selected. This may be a conditioner or a masque.
Enrich – As the third step, a leave-in treatment suited to the hair type is applied. This step adds exceptional shine and protection to the hair while preparing it perfectly for the styling that follows.
Style – Hairstyling is the crowning finish of the care ritual, ensuring long-lasting hold.
Kérastase Products: The Origins
The future of haircare began in 1964, when François Dalle combined science with luxurious haircare. This was the birth of Kérastase – the first time hair received the same level of professional care and attention as skincare. The hairdresser played a key role in personalizing the experience, diagnosing the condition of the hair and scalp in order to create the perfect product combination.
The 1980s and 1990s
In 1980, Kérastase developed its first hair treatment mask. Named Masque à l'Huile de Germes de Mais, it was an intensive mask enriched with corn germ oil, highlighting the brand’s continuous pursuit of effective yet natural ingredients.
During this time, Kérastase expanded into Morocco, encountering new haircare needs. Between 1983 and 1986, the shampoo range grew to seven products. By the late 1980s, the brand had also entered the South American market, starting with Chile.
In the 1990s, Kérastase became available throughout North and South America, with launches in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Panama. This era marked the meeting of the high-tech age with professional haircare, driving rapid development and expansion of the Kérastase product portfolio.
