This Kérastase discovery set, part of the Première range, is specially formulated for hair damaged by bleaching, frequent heat treatment, chemical damage, or mineral buildup such as calcium. It includes two travel-size products: an ultra-repairing decalcifying concentrated shampoo and a decalcifying repairing bath (shampoo). Their combination works synergistically to visibly reverse damage, restore softness, strengthen the hair fiber, and restore shine. Main benefits: Effective decalcification: reduces excess calcium deposited in the hair that causes stiffness, dullness and fragility. Internal and external repair: reconnects damaged keratin bonds, reducing breakage and improving hair elasticity and strength. Softer, more manageable hair, less rough to the touch, with restored shine. Ideal for periods of aggression: color, bleaching, constant use of flat irons, chemical exposure. How to use it for best results: On damp hair, apply ultra-repairing decalcifying concentrate before shampooing. Massage gently and leave on for 5 minutes. Do not rinse. Next, use the décalcifiant réparateur bath: apply to wet hair, massage, emulsify, and rinse well. To complete your routine and maximize the effects, you can add a restorative conditioner or mask from the Première line. This set contains: concentré décalcifiant ultra-réparateur and shampoo bain décalcifiant réparateur.
This Kérastase Première Duo Discovery Set is designed for individuals with severely damaged hair, particularly those affected by bleaching, heat styling, chemical treatments, or mineral buildup. Its key benefit is the deep repair and visible reversal of damage by decalcifying and strengthening the hair fiber from within and without. A potential caveat is that it is a two-step system requiring specific application before shampooing for optimal results.

FAQs
What type of hair damage does this set target?
This set is designed for severely damaged hair, including damage from bleaching, frequent heat styling, chemical treatments, and mineral buildup like calcium.
Do I shampoo my hair before using the concentrate?
No, the ultra-repairing decalcifying concentrate is applied first to damp hair *before* you use the shampoo.
How long should I leave the concentrate on?
You should leave the ultra-repairing decalcifying concentrate on for 5 minutes.
Can I use this set on color-treated hair?
Yes, this set is particularly beneficial for hair that has undergone chemical processes like coloring or bleaching, helping to repair associated damage.
What are the main benefits of decalcification?
Decalcification helps to remove excess calcium deposits that cause hair to feel stiff, look dull, and become fragile. This process restores softness and shine.
How do the two products work together?
The concentrate targets and removes calcium buildup and begins internal repair. The shampoo then cleanses while continuing the repair process, reconnecting keratin bonds for stronger, more resilient hair.
Is this set suitable for daily use?
This is a deep repair treatment. It is recommended to use it as needed based on your hair's damage level, often as part of a weekly or bi-weekly routine, potentially in conjunction with other Kérastase Première products.
Troubleshooting
Hair still feels rough after use
Ensure the ultra-repairing concentrate was applied correctly before shampooing and left on for the full 5 minutes. Verify that both products were rinsed thoroughly. Consider incorporating a Kérastase Première mask for deeper conditioning.
Product seems less effective over time
Mineral buildup from hard water can sometimes interfere with product efficacy. Ensure thorough rinsing. If possible, use filtered or soft water for washing.
Experiencing scalp irritation
