Kérastase Curl Manifesto Crème De Jour Fondamentale: Daily Moisturizing Free-Reducing Leave-In Treatment 150ml

Kérastase Curl Manifesto Crème De Jour Fondamentale is a daily leave-in cream designed to care for coily, curly and very curly hair. The ultra-light texture works to moisturise the hair fibre, smooth the cuticle and support curl definition without weighing hair down. Enriched with Manuka honey and ceramide, the formula helps to nourish dry lengths, promote softness and shine and provide a more conditioned feel, while offering anti-frizz care and heat protection during styling.

Ideal as a styling step after cleansing and conditioning, this cream is applied to damp, towel-dried hair before any gel or oil in the Curl Manifesto routine. It helps to ease detangling, encourages curls to form with a more defined, bouncy look and provides a smoother finish that feels supple and touchable. Suitable for textured, wavy and afro hair types, it’s a versatile everyday moisturising treatment that supports a more polished curl pattern and helps hair feel more manageable throughout the day.

How to use
How to Use:
After cleansing and conditioning with the preferred Curl Manifesto shampoo and treatment, gently towel-dry hair to remove excess water. Apply a generous amount of product to damp hair, adjusting the quantity to suit the length and thickness. Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, then rake through with fingers and scrunch sections to encourage the natural curl pattern. Do not rinse. If desired, follow with Gelée Curl Contour or Curl Manifesto oil for added definition and nourishment.

Frequency:
Use as needed as part of a regular wash-and-style routine, or whenever curls need extra moisture and frizz control.

Application Technique:
Work the cream through small sections for even coverage, focusing on drier areas and ends. Scrunch upwards towards the scalp to help curls spring into shape, then allow hair to air-dry or diffuse on a low heat setting.

Best Practices:
Apply to clean, conditioned hair for best results and avoid overloading the roots to keep volume. Layer with other Curl Manifesto stylers in light amounts to prevent build-up.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek professional advice. Keep out of reach of children and follow any additional guidance on the packaging.
