MASQUE FORCE ARCHITECTE

I hate masques. Why? Because you have to get in the shower, wash your hair, then put the masque, then just chill outside the shower (freezing cold) for like five to ten minutes, then get back in the shower and rinse it out. So when my stylist told me to get this masque to extend the fusio dose treatments we had been doing, I was like "yeah, right". I got online and read some reviews and became curious. Was I able to deal with using this masque? The answer? YES. My stylist wanted me to use it because I had not gotten my hair colored in a very, very long time and had quite the amount of spilt ends. I had been using the force architecte line, and the cristalliste line and she said that was perfect, but I just needed to add the masque once to twice a week. So I did. It made my hair feel so, SO soft and managable, I absolutely love it. My hair is thick and a little ethnic (more like latina ethnic) and it smooth it down perfectly and like EVERY kerastase product I used help to keep frizz and static away. My only thing is that you get about 7 oz. I believe in the jay for $60 dollars, so I use very sparingly and only once a week (not made of money here). I want to get my hair back into shape so I can continue to color and I want to get the most out of my fusiodose treatments so I use this. It smells amazingly and the smell lingers slightly, but is not overpowering. This might be a little much for someone with fine hair but it is working out great for me. It also helps to keep away those pesky snarls that I get at the ends of my hair (refusing to get a hair cut for awhile, trying to grow it out as long as possible. It seems backwards but I'm just too paranoid to cut my hair). Anyway, I always dye my hair black and last time I went to the salon I talked my stylist into coloring it black again, but she said that if I didn't get this masque and the fiber architecte line that she wasn't coloring it again. I can see why she said that! My hair has improved ten fold. Give it a few weeks and you'll see what I mean!

I gave up on having platinum blonde hair years ago, but those bleached out ends are still in the last four or five inches of my hair. As I have repeatedly lowlighted to achevieve some sort of balance during my three year grow out period, Bain Chroma Riche and Masque Chroma Riche have been my staples. I'm naturally blonde, so I haven't had the lowlights in over a year. When it came time to purchase a new cleanser, treatment, and protection...color protection and shine were no longer at the top of my list.

I have long hair now and I heat style it everyday. This time with dryness, breakage, and heat styling I went with Bain De Force, Masque Force Architecte, Ciment Thermique, and Force Architecte.

The Masque is very repairative. I only wash my hair every two/three days, but I heat style everyday in between a treatment masque is more of what I need than a daily treatment. The masque has transformed the last five inches of my hair. The texture of my ends now mimcs that of my virgin hair that has grown out up above it. You used to be able to see a line a demarcation where the two textures met and all my stylist friends would grab it and say "why don't you just cut this off, it looks and feels so gross" Now it looks and feels like I had a fresh haircut. The ends are smooth, strong, and sealed. It looks shiney and because the texture is smooth it looks less frizzy before I flat iron it When I blow it out and flat iron it my ends feel completely different, like after a fresh haircut. After i flat iron it to take the poof out I use a little Elixer Ultime on the ends and it looks like perfect doll hair!
