Kérastase Nutritive Hydrating Conditioner for Dry Hair
by Kérastase · hair_care
Editor's Take
Kérastase earns its salon polish here: dry hair gets serious slip and smoothing, but clean-beauty shoppers are paying for performance, not restraint.

The Verdict
Glycerin, conditioning quats, and targeted Amodimethicone should detangle well, tame friction, and leave dry lengths smoother. Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Niacinamide, and proteins add treatment value, though surface conditioning remains the main event. That polish comes with conventional baggage: fragrance allergens, low clean-beauty alignment, and a middling environmental profile. A credible salon pick for dry, knot-prone hair, with a decidedly conventional ingredient bill.
