Recommended Products From This Brand

Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray
Kerastase Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Coarse Asian hair frizzes and reverts in humidity, and creams weigh it down; a light anti-frizz spray smooths and heat-protects so a blow-out stays sleek without the flatness a heavier product causes.
Thick, coarse, or frizz-prone Asian hair wanting lightweight frizz control and heat prep.

Genesis Defense Thermique Blow Dry Primer
Kerastase Genesis Defense Thermique Blow Dry Primer selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Dense Asian hair takes heavy heat to style, which damages color and structure; a blow-dry primer shields against that heat and cuts drying time, protecting thick, color-treated hair a bare blow-dry would fry.
Thick, color-treated Asian hair that heat-styles regularly and needs heat protection.

Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo
Kerastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Color, heat, and a move abroad can leave Asian hair weak and shedding more; a fortifying shampoo strengthens the strand and reduces breakage during washing, which a plain shampoo does not support.
Fine-to-medium Asian hair that feels weak, fragile, or is shedding and breaking.

Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo
Kerastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Bleached Asian hair fades toward orange-yellow because dark pigment is hard to fully lift; a violet toning shampoo cancels that warmth between appointments while caring for over-processed strands.
Blonde, highlighted, or ash-toned Asian hair that turns brassy between salon toners.

Elixir Ultime Hydrating Hair Oil Serum
Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hydrating Hair Oil Serum selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Thick, dry Asian hair frizzes and dulls at the ends but sinks under heavy oils; a light hydrating finishing oil adds glassy shine and smooths coarse ends without the greasy flatness at the root.
Medium-to-thick or dry Asian hair wanting glassy shine and frizz control at the ends.

Resistance Masque Force Architecte
Kerastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Bleached, over-processed Asian hair goes brittle and snaps; a weekly repair mask rebuilds strength and softness so damaged ends stop breaking, which a daily conditioner cannot restore.
Bleached, damaged, or over-processed Asian hair needing a weekly strengthening repair mask.

Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum
Kerastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Dry, color-treated Asian hair needs more conditioning than a busy routine allows; an overnight nourishing serum works for hours while you sleep, softening the ends without adding a step to the morning.
Dry, color-treated, or heat-styled Asian hair wanting low-effort overnight nourishment.

Chroma Absolu Fondant Conditioner
Kerastase Chroma Absolu Fondant Conditioner selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Colored Asian hair tangles and dulls between visits; a color-protect conditioner adds slip for safe detangling and seals the cuticle to hold tone and gloss, which a basic conditioner does not safeguard.
Thick or color-treated Asian hair wanting gloss, slip, and tone protection.

Chroma Absolu Bain Riche Chroma Respect Shampoo
Kerastase Chroma Absolu Bain Riche Chroma Respect Shampoo selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Thick, colored Asian hair goes dry while its tone fades; a rich color-protect shampoo holds tone and restores moisture so dense hair stays soft, where a lighter color wash leaves it rough.
Thick, dry, or coarse color-treated Asian hair wanting color protection plus moisture.

Specifique Bain Divalent Shampoo
Kerastase Specifique Bain Divalent Shampoo selected for Asian hair needs abroad.
Straight Asian hair often has an oily scalp and drier ends at once; a balancing shampoo clears root oil without stripping the lengths, which a single-note moisturizing or clarifying wash cannot manage.
Oily-rooted, drier-ended straight Asian hair wanting a balancing daily wash.

Kerastase Specifique Bain Divalent
A balancing shampoo direction for oily roots with sensitized lengths.
Straight Asian hair often runs oily at the root and dry at the ends at once; a balancing shampoo clears root oil without stripping the lengths, which a single-note wash cannot manage.
Oily-scalped, fine Asian hair that gets flat quickly with sensitized lengths.

Kerastase Chroma Absolu Conditioner
A color-care conditioner direction for smoother lengths after salon color.
Colored Asian hair goes dry and tangly between salon visits; a color-protect conditioner adds slip for safe detangling and seals tone and gloss, which a basic conditioner does not maintain on dense, processed hair.
Color-treated, bleached, or dull Asian hair wanting smoother, glossier lengths.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil
A shine oil direction for smoothing frizz and giving dense hair a glossy finish.
Thick, dry Asian hair frizzes and dulls at the ends but sinks under heavy oils; a light shine oil adds glassy gloss and smooths coarse ends without the greasy flatness at the root.
Medium-to-thick Asian hair that wants shine and polish.

Kerastase Resistance Masque Therapiste
A repair mask direction for very damaged hair after repeated bleach or heat services.
The most over-processed Asian hair goes brittle and gummy; the most intensive repair mask rebuilds deep strength so badly damaged lengths stop breaking, where a standard mask is not enough.
Very damaged, bleached, or breakage-prone Asian hair needing the most intensive weekly repair.

Kerastase Chroma Absolu Shampoo
A color-care shampoo direction for Asian hair after balayage, gloss, or fashion color.
Salon color on Asian hair fades warm and dulls between visits; a color-care shampoo cleans gently to hold tone and gloss, which a general shampoo strips faster on hard-won color.
Color-treated Asian hair after balayage, gloss, or fashion color needing shine and reduced fading.
