Kérastase Nutritive Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice is a lightweight heat-protecting leave-in for fine to medium dry hair. It shields strands during styling while nourishing with moisture-binding glycerin — for soft, shiny, manageable results without weight.

Benefits
  • Heat protection — guards against damage from blow-dryers and irons.
  • Lightweight nourishment — conditions fine hair without weighing it down.
  • Frizz control and shine — tames flyaways and adds a healthy glow.
  • Easier styling — improves slip and reduces breakage while combing.
How to use
  1. On towel-dried, damp hair, apply from mid-lengths to ends.
  2. Distribute evenly with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
  3. Style with heat as usual.
Who it's for

Best for fine to medium dry or fragile hair that's regularly heat-styled. For thicker hair, choose Nectar Thermique instead. See how heat protection works, or the full Kérastase range.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Nutritive Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice is a lightweight, nourishing heat-protecting mist for fine to medium dry hair. Part of the Kérastase Nutritive range. Milky leave-in spray that detangles, hydrates, and protects against heat styling up to 230°C / 450°F — the leave-in step in the Nutritive routine for finer textures.

Best for: fine to medium dry hair that gets heat-styled; lightweight detangling and pre-blow-dry priming without weight; the leave-in step in the Nutritive routine after Bain Satin + Lait Vital (or Masquintense); finer hair that finds Nectar Thermique cream too rich.
Less suited to: medium to thick dry hair (use Nutritive Nectar Thermique cream instead — richer leave-in, same range); damaged hair primarily needing structural repair (use Resistance Ciment Thermique or Extentioniste Thermique); blonde hair where colour-care heat protection is priority (use Blond Absolu Cicaplasme Thermique); aging hair where revitalisation is priority (use Chronologiste Thermique Régénérant); curly hair where curl-definition is priority (use Curl Manifesto Crème de Jour Fondamentale).

Key actives:
- Plant-based proteins (Hydrolyzed Wheat, Corn, and Soy Protein) — nourish the fibre with essential nutrients
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — locks in nutrition; strengthens the fibre barrier
- Conditioning silicones — form a smooth, lightweight heat-protective film
- Lightweight emollients — detangle and condition without weight
- Iconic Nutritive fragrance

Benefits:
- Heat protection up to 230°C / 450°F against blow-drying and hot tools
- +82% deep conditioning (Kérastase instrumental test versus non-conditioning shampoo)
- -98% less breakage
- Lightweight mist texture — absorbs quickly, no residue
- Instantly detangles, smooths, and reduces fly-aways
- Restores strength, elasticity, and nourishment to fine dry hair

How to use: After washing and treating hair with Nutritive, spray Lotion Thermique Sublimatrice section by section throughout the lengths of towel-dried, damp hair. Comb through. Blow-dry or air-dry. Do not rinse.

Format: 150ml leave-in spray.
