Have you ever had a client in your chair with hair that feels stiff, dull, and persistently snaps, no matter how many intensive masks you apply? While heat and chemical processing are often blamed, Kérastase research has uncovered the true hidden culprit: Calcium Overdose from hard water. Damaged hair absorbs three times more calcium than healthy hair, locking strands into a continuous cycle of breakage.
In this quick, high-impact tutorial, from Kérastase Education introduces the Kérastase Première In-Salon Service, a revolutionary technical “reset” that moves beyond basic maintenance into radical hair transformation. Discover the scientific breakthrough of decalcification and learn the signature layering technique designed to restore hair back to its virgin, Première state.
What You Will Learn:
The Science of Calcium Overdose:
Understand how hard water calcium builds up inside damaged hair fibers and why conventional repair treatments fail to address it.
The Signature Layering Philosophy:
Master Kérastase’s unique application technique where performance lies in layering active formulas rather than intermediate rinsing.
The 4-Step In-Salon Protocol:
Learn the precise back-bar service from the decalcifying prep to the heat-shielding blowout finish.
Consultation & Service Positioning:
Discover how to position the Première service as an essential pre-service reset to create the perfect, strengthened canvas for colour, cutting, and styling.
Technical Protocol Breakdown:
Step 1: The Decalcifying Prep – Breaking calcium bonds using Concentré Décalcifiant Ultra-Réparateur powered by high-concentration Citric Acid.
Step 2: Technical Cleanse – Layering Bain Décalcifiant Réparateur directly over the Concentré for a double-acid deep cleanse and calcium lift before the first rinse.
Step 3: Structural Repair & Treat – Rebuilding internal keratin links with Concentré Liquide Resurfaçant layered under the Glycine- and Peptide-rich Masque Filler Réparateur.
Step 4: The Final Shield & Finish – Sealing against future calcium absorption with 230°C heat protection using Sérum Filler Fondamental, finished with Huile Gloss Réparatrice for signature "glass-hair" radiance.
