Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Shampoo and Conditioner

I've shared with you the best-kept secret for long hair, and now, I'll be reviewing 2 products from the Kerastase Cristalliste range.

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Shampoo and Conditioner

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Shampoo (P1,200.00/250ml)

For thick hair

Ingredients:

Pros:

• Kerastase Cristalliste Shampoo has an ultra-light formula that is almost similar to baby shampoo.
• It does not lather too much, but it does leave my hair feeling nice and clean afterwards.
• It manages to remove oil buildup and product residue from my hair without drying it out.
• It has two variants, one for fine hair and another one for thick hair to adapt to the needs of different hair types.
• It's free from silicones, parabens, or colorants.
• My long hair feels lighter, bouncier, and smoother to touch.
• My favorite effect from this shampoo is that it makes my hair look extra shiny. The top part of my hair is straight, while the bottom part is wavy (and it is naturally like that). I haven't seen my hair shine with life for the longest time, but after using this product for weeks, The straight top part of my hair reflects light better now, which is amazing. Meaning, if you had straight hair all over, your hair will be shiny from root to tip!

Cons:

• It's not sulfate-free.
• It's expensive.

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Conditioner (P1,693.00/200ml)

For dry lengths or ends

Ingredients:

Pros:

• It has a light, gel-cream texture that easily spreads on your hair.
• This one has zero greasy or oily feel, and does not leave any residue behind.
• It's easy to rinse off.
• It is suitable for both fine or thick long hair.
• Does not make my hair feel heavy.

Cons:

• Moisturizing power is not enough for dry hair.
• It's expensive.

Will I repurchase? Shampoo, yes. Conditioner, no.

Prices: Shampoo, P1,200.00/250ml; Conditioner, P1,693.00/200ml

Exclusively available in salons that carry L'Oreal Professionel/Kerastase products.

It's my first time to try such a shampoo that feels like baby shampoo yet works perfectly for adult (read: oily scalp, chemically-treated hair), and I'm liking the Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Shampoo very much. I feel like it adds shimmer and shine to my hair. As for the conditioner, I know I can find less pricey ones (such as Snoe or Kiehl's) that could work even better, so that I won't be repurchasing.

Kérastase Initialiste: A Bright Future For Your Hair

25 years after creating the first hair masque, Kérastase has innovated once again by creating a revolutionary hair care product that works on your hair to make it more beautiful every day.

Kérastase Initialiste (P2,850.00)

INITIALISTE is the first Kérastase serum based on native plant cells that acts from the birth of the hair, enabling it to grow stronger, brighter, and more beautiful than ever. Its exclusive Regenerative Complex® protects the scalp environment to optimise the production of the hair biomaterial, thus reinforcing fibre strength. Hair quality is improved from the source and for a long time. With INITIALISTE, an innovation inspired by skin care, Kérastase has turned a new page in hair care, ushering in a new era of stem cells biology.

The scalp is essential to bringing out the sublime beauty of every woman’s hair, which is the mission of every Kérastase hairdresser. The scalp is where hair fibres are born. For this reason, the scalp deserves the same careful attention that is given to facial skin.

Within 7 days, hair becomes stronger as breakage is reduced, shinier, and more youthful with increased hair matter and elasticity. Within a month, hair becomes full of vitality, and fibre significantly improved.

Kérastase Initialiste, the advanced scalp and hair miracle serum, is a must-have for every woman. For more information, visit the official Kérastase Paris website at www.societedekerastase.com or call the Kérastase Paris hotline at (02)672-7200.

Kerastase Cristalliste: The Best-Kept Secret for Long Hair

My hair is now at the longest length it has ever been, and I've just discovered the best kept secret for long hair. Kerastase creates Cristalliste - for hair that sparkles like crystal and weightless as light.
 

Kerastase Paris Cristalliste is enriched with the Liquid Light Complex, which cleans and purifies the hair’s roots, and polishes the hair’s dry ends. The result is hair that is feather-light and smooth, cascading down in a flowing manner, with luminous shimmer caused by the refraction of light from one hair fiber to the other.

Hit Pan: January 2012

These are the products I've used up this month:


Click on the links for a detailed review:

1. Kerastase Nutritive Lait Vital Dosage-Glucoactive Sample - Will not repurchase. There are less pricey hair care products that can work better than this conditioner.
   
2. Human Nature 100% Natural Strengthening Conditioner - Still thinking if I will repurchase this, as Snoe's Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil seems to work better.
   
3. Human Nature Natural Feminine Wash (Chamomile Fresh) - A must buy! I will repurchase for as long as Human Nature sells this. Now that I've started shifting to natural beauty products, I don't like using chemical-based cleansers for that sensitive area anymore. You should try this!
   
4. The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Africa Spa Salt Scrub - Will not repurchase as I like fruity scrubs better, but this one is less greasy than my The Body Shop Body Scrub in Mango.
   

What products have you finished this month?

Love,
Helen
