A verified salon shampoo for damaged hair with real conditioning support and a strong fragrance footprint. It is a plausible choice for weakened hair that tolerates scented, higher-cleansing formulas, but it is less suitable for fragrance-sensitive or very dry scalps.

This is a rinse-off strengthening shampoo for damaged, brittle, split-end-prone hair. The verified ingredient list shows a cleansing base with conditioning polymers, some humectant/support ingredients, and a small amount of salicylic acid, but it is not a minimalist or fragrance-free formula. The evidence comes from Kérastase product pages and a retailer listing that exposed the full INCI list for the same 250 ml variant.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
Real user feedback found in search results trends toward liking the strengthening feel, softness, and shine, while complaints center on price, fragrance, and occasional dryness or heaviness.
