KÉRASTASE Première Repair Conditioner for Breakage & Damaged Hair — Removes Calcium, Strengthens & Smooths

KÉRASTASE Première Repair Conditioner is a dual-action treatment that removes calcium buildup while reconnecting weakened keratin links to hydrate, smooth and strengthen damaged hair.

This professional-grade conditioner targets two frequent sources of hair fragility: mineral deposits from hard water and broken keratin bonds from styling or environmental stress. The formula combines a citric-acid based clarifying action with glycine-based repairing actives to soften stiffness, reduce breakage and restore reflected shine. Use after shampooing to help hair feel smoother, look glossier and resist snapping during combing.

How does this conditioner remove calcium buildup and why does that matter?

Mineral residues such as calcium can mattify hair, make it feel stiff and interfere with product performance. The conditioner’s citric acid component gently chelates and helps lift those deposits from the hair surface so subsequent conditioning and styling work effectively.

• Citric acid lifts hard-water minerals without overstripping natural oils.
• Cleared cuticles reflect light better, improving shine by up to the product’s reported rate.
• Removes build-up to allow conditioning agents to penetrate more evenly.

In what way does it reconnect broken keratin links to reduce breakage?

The formula contains glycine and other rebuilding actives designed to interact with the hair’s keratin network, helping to re-establish weak links along the fiber. This action supports resilience, so strands bend and move with less stress instead of snapping.

• Glycine-derived agents help reinforce internal hair structure.
• Visible reduction in breakage with regular use within a haircare routine.
• Improves manageability, making wet combing and styling gentler on hair.

What results can I expect for frizz, shine and texture?

Beyond structural repair, the conditioner smooths the hair surface and reduces friction, which lowers frizz and tangling. The combined clearing-and-repair approach restores reflectivity and softness so hair looks glossier and feels silkier to the touch.

• Reported improvements include smoother, glossier hair and less stiffness.
• Formula balances hydration with reconstruction to avoid limpness.
• Leaves hair easier to style and maintain across humid or dry conditions.

How should I use it in my routine for best effect?

Apply the conditioner after shampooing to towel-dried hair, working from mid-lengths to ends. Leave on 3–5 minutes to allow the chelating and repairing ingredients to act, then rinse thoroughly for immediate softness and longer-term resilience with repeated use.

• Use on shampooed, towel-dried hair for optimal absorption.
• Massage through lengths and ends; leave 3–5 minutes then rinse.
• For best results, pair with the KÉRASTASE Première cleansing and treatment steps.

Who is this for: KÉRASTASE Première Repair Conditioner is suited to anyone experiencing breakage, dullness or stiffness from styling damage or mineral-rich water. It’s formulated for all damaged hair types seeking both immediate smoothing and ongoing bond repair without compromising bounce or volume. Professional enough for salon routines yet simple for at-home maintenance, it fits into weekly or regular regimens for visibly stronger, shinier hair.
