Professional heat protection and repair in one step. Kérastase Resistance Ciment Thermique is a blow-dry primer for damaged, breakage-prone hair — shielding strands from heat while simultaneously reinforcing the hair fibre with Vita-Ciment technology for stronger, smoother results with every blow-dry.
Where most heat protectants simply coat the surface, Ciment Thermique works from within — rebuilding the internal structure of weakened hair so it becomes more resilient over time, not just protected in the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ciment Thermique and Keratine Thermique?
Ciment Thermique (Resistance range) is for damaged, breakage-prone hair — it strengthens and repairs the hair fibre while protecting from heat. Keratine Thermique (Discipline range) is for frizzy, unruly hair — it smooths and tames frizz during blow-drying. Choose based on your primary concern.
Does Ciment Thermique protect against heat?
Yes — it forms a protective barrier against blow-dry heat and other styling tools, minimising moisture loss and heat damage while also repairing from within.
Can I use Ciment Thermique on fine hair?
Yes — the lightweight formula suits all hair types. Use a smaller amount for fine hair to prevent weighing it down.
How does Vita-Ciment work?
Vita-Ciment is Kérastase's proprietary repair technology that penetrates the hair cortex to rebuild the internal structure of damaged fibres — reducing breakage and improving elasticity with regular use.
