kerastase-opinions??

uniquechic

Everyone has been saying that kerastase is the best for hair care. Has anyone here tried any of their products? I want to no if the hype is true before I go and fork out for anything

I know everyone recommends it and I'm a sucker for anything well-marketed etc but I bought the yellow tub of conditioning mask ages ago - and to be honest it smelled lovely but wasn't the best conditioner I've ever used. I have very fine hair that's highlighted so gets very damaged. The best conditioning treatment I've discovered is to go to bed with olive oil and tre semme on the mid-end lengths - wash it out and condition in the morning for the ultimate silkyness! Kerstase is overhyped in my opinion.

I use this from time to time and find it very good http://www.hqhair.com/code/products.asp?PageID=96&SectionID=152&FeaturedID=693&FeaturedProduct=645&pID=1
Leaves my hair very soft. A lot of people say that using Kerastase all the time leaves a bit of a residue on hair but I don't use it often enough to know tbh.

Residue as in leaves your hair feeling greasy? I haven't tried it yet.

I think the best conditioner for my hair type is aussie 3 minute miracle...it really is a miracle

It leaves my hair feeling greasy and heavy so I don't like it. I much prefer redken products.

In fairness, perhaps you didn't need it?

My hair was in a very bad state a few years ago (dyed to bits, split ends, my it was incredibly badly damaged, just through not really caring what I was doing to it!)

I started using the Kerastase Masqueintense weekly. The condition of my hair improved drastically. so much so that I could see and feel an immediate improvement in my hair. I used it religiously on a weekly basis for a year or two.

That was a few years ago. I found a tub of the product in the press a few weeks ago and decided to finish it off.

It left my hair feeling sticky and limp - and I feel that it's because my hair is much healthier now, it doesn't need that intense conditioning treatment. No point in throwing your money away on something you really don't need, is there?

If you still really want to use the products, go to the salon and ask them for help choosing a product in the line that is right for you. That way you are "fixing" a problem you have instead of just buying the product for vanity!

I understand what you're saying Vibrant but it was my hairdresser who recommended the Kerastase products. I think she hadn't a clue.

Am on the lookout for somewhere good.

Kerastase is excellent - their shampoos, conditioners and more specifically their treatments are super. Their "Bain Satin" is a great treatment - particularly if you have dry or damaged hair.
