I guess it is different strokes for different people. After Alfaparf , Kerastase is a line I love.
I used to think and believe Paula Begoun and the Beauty Brains on that, but in my case, the proof is in the pudding. I have used L'Oreal line for years while I was in Cuba,even before reformulation, and I now use some Kerastase products. I didn't want to but I caved in and tried them. The difference they have made in my hair is astounding, the shine, the flow, the overall I don't want to say healthy but yes overall healthy state of my hair is remarkable.
Ingredients are similar? maybe. are they better quality? I think so. At least they work for my hair. I wouldn't have found a staple in my regimen now if I had listened to P. Begoun and Beauty Brains.
I used to think it was all marketing, maybe I'm one of the lucky ones (not so lucky for my pocket) whose hair thrives on Kerastase.
I use Oleo-relax shampoo,mask and serum, I love all these. I also use Bain de Force shampoo and Ciment Anti Usure and Ciment Thermique,Oleo-Relax Slim, the Nuit serum which I LOVE and Nutritive Shampoo 3 (which will not rebuy).
Next time, I'll get the big tubs on Ebay and save some money, a little bit is all you need.
You can buy in the UK for £80.00:

I didn't realize there was a Sally's knock off of Chronologiste!
What's that product name??
How do you like the Chronologiste mask? Is it protein, moisture, or both?I finally got the Chronologiste mask. It’s probably my 10th mask from Kerastase. I’ve tried several conditioners, shampoos and leave ins as well. I feel like the products are worth the price tag.

I like it. It smells great (no surprise there.) I believe it’s moisture and protein. I have it in my rotation along with Therapiste, Maskeratine and MasquintenseHow do you like the Chronologiste mask? Is it protein, moisture, or both?
The smell alone does it for me. Also, the products melt into my strands and I feel and see the effects immediately. The first mask I ever used was Chroma Riche... I was a relaxed head and it was just pure magic for my strands. Softness, slip, it detangled with ease... I admit the products feel different on my natural hair, but I’m still gonna stan.In what way are the worth the price? What benefits do you get that are lacking in more moderately priced products?
I currently have the Magistral and Therapiste Masques. Both of them leave my hair soft especially the Magistral masque.I keep forgetting my Karastase products in my stash. Thanks for the bump ladies. I have to pull out my Kerastase products to use up ASAP!
Thanks @Prettymetty. I love your reviews of your experiences with these products by the way. I have to look through my stash and find all my Kerastase products to start using them up again .
