Description
Kérastase Première Pre-Shampoo Treatment for Bond Building is a targeted hard water treatment designed to remove calcium buildup while helping repair weakened hair bonds. This concentrated pre-shampoo formula works before you cleanse, dissolving mineral deposits that leave hair stiff, dull, and prone to breakage. The result is softer, smoother, stronger-looking hair that feels lighter and more responsive from the first use. If you are searching for a Kérastase bond-building treatment that addresses hard water damage without over-drying, this is the essential first step.
HOW IT WORKS
Hard water minerals can accumulate on the hair fiber, creating rigidity and blocking moisture and repair ingredients from penetrating properly. This de-calcifying concentrate helps neutralize and lift excess calcium while supporting internal bond repair. By clearing buildup first, it allows your shampoo and mask to work more effectively. The formula strengthens compromised strands caused by coloring, bleaching, heat styling, and environmental stress while improving flexibility and resilience.
VISIBLE RESULTS
With continued use, hair appears noticeably smoother, shinier, and more manageable. Breakage looks reduced, texture feels refined, and dullness caused by mineral buildup is visibly improved. As a pre-shampoo bond-building treatment, it supports long-term strength while helping hair regain movement and softness. Styling becomes easier and finished looks appear more polished.
TEXTURE AND FEEL
The formula has a lightweight, fluid consistency that spreads easily through wet hair. It saturates without heaviness and rinses clean, leaving no residue. Hair feels smoother immediately after rinsing and better prepared for cleansing and conditioning.
WHO IT’S FOR
Ideal for hair exposed to hard water, frequent coloring, bleaching, or heat styling. Especially beneficial for hair that feels rough, rigid, brittle, or dull. Suitable for most hair types, including fine, thick, and chemically treated hair.
HOW TO USE
Apply to wet, towel-blotted hair before shampooing. Distribute through mid-lengths and ends, working in sections for even coverage. Leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with Kérastase Première shampoo and mask for complete repair support.
Use 1 to 2 times per week for maintenance. In hard water areas or on highly damaged hair, begin with 2 to 3 times weekly, then reduce as condition improves.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this necessary if I already use a repairing shampoo?
Yes. Mineral buildup can prevent repair ingredients from fully penetrating. Using a pre-shampoo de-calcifying treatment improves the performance of the rest of your routine.
Can I use it on color-treated hair?
Yes. It is designed to support hair weakened by color services and helps improve softness and shine without stripping.
Will it weigh down fine hair?
No. The lightweight formula rinses clean and does not leave residue, making it suitable for fine or easily weighed-down hair.
How soon will I see results?
Many users notice improved softness and shine after the first use. Continued strength and manageability improve with consistent weekly use.
