Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense for fine hair is an intensive nourishing mask for fine to medium dry hair that needs deep conditioning without losing volume. With niacinamide and plant-based proteins, it restores softness and strength while keeping every strand light.

Benefits
  • Weightless nourishment — deep moisture that protects bounce and volume.
  • Stronger strands — plant proteins help reduce breakage.
  • Softer, smoother feel — silkier texture and easier detangling.
  • More shine — a healthy, radiant finish.
How to use
  1. After shampooing, apply to mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots.
  2. Leave for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, and use once or twice weekly.
Who it's for

Best for fine to medium dry hair that needs a weekly treatment without heaviness. For thick or coarse hair, choose Masquintense Riche instead. Explore more dry-hair care or the full Kérastase range.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Thin is a nourishing hair mask for very dry fine-to-medium hair. Part of the Kérastase Nutritive range (marketed as Masquintense Fine in some markets). Ultra-concentrated weekly treatment that deeply nourishes without weighing fine hair down.

Best for: very dry fine to medium-textured hair that lacks softness and shine but cannot tolerate heavier masks; hair feeling rough or depleted but with naturally finer strands; the weekly intensive treatment step in a Nutritive routine paired with Bain Satin or Bain Magistral.
Less suited to: medium to thick coarse hair (use Masquintense Thick / Masquintense Riche for richer nourishment); severely dry, very thick coarse hair (use Masque Magistral); damaged hair primarily needing protein repair (use Resistance Masque Force Architecte or Thérapiste); colour-treated blonde hair (use Blond Absolu Cicaflash or Masque Ultra-Violet).

Key actives:
- Plant-Based Protein Complex — Hydrolysed Wheat Protein, Hydrolysed Corn Protein, and Hydrolysed Soy Protein; provide essential nutrients and support moisture retention
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — strengthens the hair fibre and helps lock in nutriments
- Iris Florentina Root Extract — signature Kérastase Nutritive actives; protects from oxidation and provides long-lasting nourishment
- Lightweight conditioning base — designed to soften fine hair without flattening it

Benefits:
- Up to 79% more shine versus unwashed hair (Kérastase instrumental test)
- Up to 96% stronger hair when used with the system versus non-conditioning shampoo
- Deeply nourishes fine, dry hair without weighing it down
- Improves detangling and adds visible softness and manageability
- Lightweight finish suitable for fine textures that heavier masks would flatten

How to use: After shampooing with Bain Satin (or Bain Magistral for the original Nutritive routine), apply to towel-dried hair from mid-lengths to ends. Massage through. Leave on for 3–5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Use weekly or as often as needed.

Format: 200ml mask.
