Kérastase Resistance Bain Thérapiste: Balm-In Shampoo Fiber Quality Renewal Care 250ml

Kérastase Resistance Bain Thérapiste is a balm-in shampoo created for very damaged, over-processed hair that needs extra care. The rich, jellified texture cushions the hair fibre as it cleanses, helping to reduce friction on fragile lengths and ends. Powered by the FIBRA-KAP™ complex with six amino acids, wheat protein derivative and plant extracts, the formula works to reinforce the feel of weakened hair, smooth the cuticle and promote a softer, more supple finish. Hair is left feeling cleansed yet cared for, with a healthy-looking shine and a more resilient appearance over time.

Ideal for hair that’s been sensitised by colouring, heat styling or chemical treatments, this shampoo fits easily into a strengthening haircare routine. Use it as the cleansing step before your chosen conditioner, mask or serum from the Kérastase Résistance range to support the look of renewed fibre quality. The comforting texture and refined fragrance make everyday washing feel like a salon ritual, while the formula helps to leave hair feeling smoother, easier to manage and less brittle.

How to use
How to Use:
Apply to thoroughly wet hair. Work a small, coin-sized amount of the shampoo between your hands, then smooth through lengths and ends before bringing the lather up towards the roots. Massage gently into the scalp and hair, then rinse well. Repeat if desired, leaving the second lather on the hair for 2–3 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

Frequency:
Use as needed, or according to the product instructions, whenever you wash your hair.

Application Technique:
Focus the first application on coating and cushioning the lengths and ends, then distribute the foam towards the scalp. Massage with the fingertips rather than nails to help lift away impurities while being gentle on the scalp and fragile hair fibres. Rinse until the water runs clear and follow with a conditioner, mask or serum from the Résistance Thérapiste range.

Best Practices:
Use on wet hair only and ensure product is fully rinsed out. For very damaged hair, pair with complementary care such as a mask or leave-in treatment. Adjust the amount used according to hair length and thickness.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately and thoroughly. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Always follow any additional guidance on the product packaging.
