Kérastase Résistance Ciment Anti-Usure is a strengthening repair conditioner for damaged, brittle hair prone to breakage. With Vita-Ciment woven into the fibre, it detangles and fortifies weakened strands — leaving hair stronger, smoother and more resilient against daily wear.

Benefits
  • Reinforced strength — Vita-Ciment rebuilds the fibre to reduce breakage.
  • Easy detangling — smooths the cuticle for knot-free combing.
  • Softer, silkier feel — improves manageability without heaviness.
  • Daily protection — helps shield against heat and styling stress.
How to use
  1. After shampooing, apply from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots.
  2. Leave for 1–2 minutes to let it absorb.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, and use after every wash. Apply sparingly on fine hair; more generously on thick or coarse hair.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Resistance Ciment Anti-Usure is a daily-use strengthening, anti-breakage conditioner for damaged hair. Part of the Kérastase Resistance range. Lightweight rinse-out conditioner that rebuilds the hair fibre at the lengths and ends while protecting against further breakage.

Best for: weakened or damaged hair from heat styling, chemical treatments, or daily wear; hair that needs daily repair without weight; the daily conditioning step in the Force Architecte routine paired with Bain Force Architecte (rotate weekly with Masque Force Architecte for deeper repair).
Less suited to: very severely damaged or chemically over-processed hair needing intensive reconstruction (use Resistance Thérapiste — Masque Thérapiste or Soin Premier Thérapiste); hair primarily concerned with length retention and split ends (use Resistance Fondant Extentioniste); hair primarily concerned with dryness rather than damage (use Kérastase Nutritive — Fondant Magistral or Lait Vital); colour-treated blonde hair (use Blond Absolu Cicaflash).

Key actives:
- Vita-Ciment® Complex — Kérastase's patented reconstruction technology, combining:
- Pro-Keratin — protein that mimics natural keratin and rebuilds the hair fibre
- Ceramides — recreate the intercellular cement, strengthening the fibre from within
- Sève de Résurrection (Resurrection Plant Sap, Myrothamnus flabellifolia) — regenerative botanical extract for resilience
- Hydrolysed Wheat Protein — coats and reinforces the hair surface

Benefits:
- Reconstructs and strengthens damaged hair fibre daily
- Reduces breakage and visible damage at the lengths and ends
- Softens, smooths, and adds shine without weighing hair down
- Lightweight texture suitable for daily use, unlike a heavier weekly mask
- Protects against future damage from heat and styling

How to use: After shampooing with Bain Force Architecte, apply a quarter-sized amount to clean, towel-dried hair. Distribute evenly through mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots. Leave on for 2–3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Use daily or with every wash. For deeper repair, alternate weekly with Masque Force Architecte in place of this conditioner.

Format: 200ml conditioner. Also available in 1000ml professional/salon size.
