If you’ve ever heat styled, coloured or chemically treated your hair, chances are you’ve experienced some degree of damage. Split ends, excessive breakage, dryness and a general lack of shine and manageability can really take its toll, leaving your once luscious locks looking and feeling worse for wear. Luckily, the haircare experts at Kerastase have developed a line of truly transformative shampoos designed to rebuild, repair and protect even the most compromised strands.

When it comes to restoring damaged tresses, Kerastase means business with their line of reparative, fortifying shampoos.
1. Resistance Bain Force Architecte Shampoo
Let’s start with the heavy hitter – the Resistance Bain Force Architecte strengthening and fortifying shampoo. Specially formulated to tackle erosion levels 1-2 of damaged hair, this powerhouse cleanser relies on the brand’s signature Vita-Cement Complex to quite literally rebuild brittle, over-processed strands from the inside out.
As it lifts away dirt, product buildup and impurities, the sulfate-free formula uses ceramides to reinforce hair’s inner structure and cement the outer cuticle for increased strength and elasticity. The result? Softer, sleeker, more manageable locks with reduced breakage and split ends. It’s the ultimate revival for hair that’s been through the ringer.

2. Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment
Dealing with stubborn damage that just won’t quit? You’ll want to start with Kerastase’s innovative Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment. As the brand’s first ever pre-shampoo remedy, this potent formula takes a dual-action approach to remove dulling calcium deposits and repair even the most persistent damage.
If you live in a hard water area or have highlighted or bleached your hair, excess calcium can become trapped inside the cuticle, causing dryness, stiffness and a drab, lifeless appearance. Featuring a concentrated dose of citric acid and glycine, this transparent gel treatment decalcifies strands while simultaneously working to reconnect broken keratin chains and reinforce hair’s inner strength and structure.
- Removes calcium deposits from damaged hair
- Restores strength and reverses dullness

3. Decalcifying Repairing Shampoo
Once you’ve decalcified hair of that damaging calcium buildup with the pre-treatment, follow with Kerastase’s rich, creamy Decalcifying Repairing Shampoo. This gentle yet effective formula continues the dual-action approach, stripping away any remaining calcium residue while helping to repair the core structure.
The luxuriously foaming shampoo is ideal for all types of over-processed or brittle hair. As it cleanses the scalp and strands, it neutralises the dullness and breakage caused by excess calcium exposure. At the same time, it reinforces keratin links within the hair shaft to quite literally rebuild strands from the inside out. Hair is left feeling stronger, smoother, shinier and more resilient.

When weakened, brittle strands have lost their natural elasticity and stretch, turn to Kerastase’s Resistance Bain Extentioniste elasticity-enhancing shampoo. This fortifying formula uses a powerful combination of amino acids and ceramides to quite literally rebuild hair’s internal support structure from the inside out.
As it cleanses away buildup, dirt and excess oil, the silky shampoo infuses strands with lipids that smooth and protect the outer cuticle. This dual approach enhances hair’s resilience and stretch from root to tip, making it more resistant to snapping and breakage. Hair regains its bounce, flexibility and healthy shine.

To revive sad, limp and lifeless locks, turn to the unique jellied texture of Kerastase’s Resistance Bain Therapiste shampoo. Powered by an innovative FIBRA-KAP formula, it delivers a potent dose of keratin associated proteins deep into each strand.
These proteins integrate with and repair the internal fibrous architecture, increasing strength, elasticity and hydration levels. The formula also works to smooth frayed, split ends and fortify brittle spots, enveloping and protecting hair from root to tip. The result is transformed, renewed hair with brilliant shine and healthy movement.
