I've used so many Kerastastase products in my lifetime.  Kerastase as a brand has been a leader in the luxury haircare world since its founding in 1964 - some 60 years ago - by the L'Oréal Group. Renowned for its innovative approach to hair and scalp health, Kerastase combines cutting-edge science with a deep understanding of hair needs, and I know that it remains a favourite of many professional stylists and beauty haircare lovers alike. Kerastase seems to continuously develop products that tackle every conceivable hair concern, from damage to frizz, and its formulas are tailored to specific hair types and textures, their range is incredible.

The Kerastase Premier range is the brand's latest innovation, designed to tackle the modern haircare challenges of product build-up, pollution, and mineral deposits. This range focuses on deep-cleansing treatments that not only purify the hair but also promise to restore its vitality and strength. With the use of advanced technology and rich active ingredients, the Kerastase Premier range is a wonderful range if you want to strip out all the chemicals and give hair a fresh start.  When I use it my hair just feels wonderfully fresh and clean. 

At the heart of this collection is the Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment. which I'm here to tell you all about today. 

What is the Kerastase Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

The Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment is designed to be used before your regular shampoo to remove mineral build-up and impurities from your scalp and hair. Minerals from hard water and pollution can accumulate over time and it's because of this that hair may sometimes feel dull and weighed down. This treatment works by deeply cleansing and repairing the hair, so that it is ready to absorb the nutrients and benefits of your regular shampoo and conditioner more effectively.

What are the key ingredients and benefits Of the Kerastase Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

• Malachite Extract: Known for its detoxifying properties, malachite helps to remove impurities, leaving hair lighter and more refreshed.
• Amino Acids: These help to rebuild and strengthen the hair fiber, reducing breakage and promoting healthier growth.
• Lactic Acid: An AHA that exfoliates the scalp, lactic acid clears away dead skin cells and product residue, ensuring your scalp can breathe again.

How do you use the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

1. Apply to Damp Hair: Before shampooing, dampen your hair and then, focusing on the scalp first, massage it in working right through to the ends. I love the feeling of a scalp massage and find this bit very therapeutic.
2. Massage Thoroughly: Continue to massage the product into your scalp for a minute or so to really stimulate circulation and break down build-up.
3. Leave On: Let the product sit for 3-5 minutes to work its magic (at this stage I comb it through with a wide comb).
4. Rinse Well: Rinse thoroughly and then proceed with your regular shampoo and conditioner.

How often should you use the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

This treatment is designed to be used once a week or whenever you feel your hair needs a deep cleanse and refresh.  Mine remains fresh for about a week but on top of styling, I do a lot of exercise and a lot of walking in streets with traffic which means the toxins build up quickly. 

Who Should Use the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

This product is perfect for those who:

• Live in hard water areas: Hard water can leave minerals in your hair, making it feel dull and weighed down.
• Use a lot of styling products: If, like me, you're someone who frequently uses hair sprays, gels, or serums, this pre-shampoo treatment can help clear away the build-up.
• Struggle with limp, flat hair: By removing excess build-up, this treatment gives your hair volume and bounce again.
• Want healthier, shinier hair: Consistent use of this I have found improves overall hair health and shine.  My hair is by nature very dry and coarse in texture and regular use really helps smooth it. 

Is Kerastase Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment safe on colour treated hair?

Yes, I have my hair coloured and the formula is gentle enough to be used on colour treated hair. In fact, it can help prolong your colour by keeping your scalp and hair clean from mineral deposits.

Can Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment be used on sensitive scalps?

The formula is designed to be gentle, but if you have a sensitive scalp, it's always best to do a patch test first or consult your hairstylist.

Can Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment help with dandruff?

While it’s not specifically designed to treat dandruff, the exfoliating properties of the lactic acid can help clear dead skin cells, which may reduce dandruff symptoms over time. Kerastase have a range specifically for dandruff called Symbiose

How much is the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment?

The Kerastase Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment is priced at £55 for 250ml.

Is the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment worth the price?

I personally would consider it a luxurious but worthwhile investment if you're serious about maintaining clean, healthy hair.  The good news is that it only needs to be used once a week for optimal results so 250ml lasts a long time. 

Where can I buy Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment from?

You can purchase it from all leading beauty retailers, many who have regular great offers available. Here are a few of my favourites:

Sephora

Look Fantastic

Boots

Harrods

How does the Premier Decalcifying Pre-Shampoo Treatment compare to other products?

There are so many premium hair brands out there with amazing products.  Do you remember the days when you used to wish you could make your hair look salon treated?  Well you now can and here are some lovely alternatives I've tried and how they compare to the Kerastase Premier range:

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Triple Detox Shampoo - this is another excellent option for clearing building.  However, Living Proof's formula focuses more on product residue rather than mineral build up.

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector - I love the Olaplex range.  This particular product is specifically about repairing damage and doesn't have the same clarifying effect as the Kerastase Premier range.  If you are looking for both repair and deep cleansing Kerastase Premier Decalcifying offers the best of both worlds.

Aveda Invite Advanced Exfoliating Shampoo - another brand I absolutely adore.  This is a scalp focused exfoliating shampoo and is excellent for thinning hair and for scalp health.  The Kerastase product takes it a step further by also repairing hair fiber. 

If you're someone whose hair suffers from hard water, pollution, or styling product build up, the Kérastase Premier Decalcifying Repairing Pre-Shampoo Treatment could be your new best friend. Its gentle but effective formula is perfect for weekly use, helping to restore your hair’s natural shine, bounce, and health. It’s a luxury product with high-quality ingredients, and it's now a firm staple in my haircare routine.

Lots of love, Em x
