Masquintense Hair Mask

by Kérastase Nutritive

Available in Canada at Curious Salons

For

Fine to medium, very dry, damaged or moisture-depleted hair that needs deep nourishment, lasting hydration and renewed softness without a heavy finish.

Description

Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense is an ultra-concentrated nourishing hair mask created to replenish very dry, fine to medium hair.

Its light, creamy texture delivers an intensive dose of essential nutrients without overwhelming finer strands. Formulated with plant-based proteins, niacinamide and nourishing conditioning ingredients, it helps reinforce the hair fibre, restore elasticity and protect against recurring dryness.

After use, hair feels softer, smoother and easier to manage, with renewed shine and natural movement. Masquintense is ideal for hair that needs more nourishment than a daily conditioner but finds traditional rich masks too heavy.

How to Use

Formula

A lightweight yet ultra-concentrated conditioning mask formulated to nourish very dry, fine to medium hair without leaving it heavy.

Cetearyl alcohol and behentrimonium chloride soften, condition and improve detangling. Dimethicone and amodimethicone help smooth rough or damaged areas of the hair fibre, reducing friction and improving shine.

Glycerin attracts and retains moisture, while niacinamide helps support the hair fibre’s protective barrier and lock in nourishment.

Hydrolyzed wheat, corn and soy proteins condition and reinforce dry strands. Lactic acid helps refine the hair’s surface, supporting softness, smoothness and a more polished finish.

The light cream texture leaves a protective conditioning film that helps defend the hair against recurring dryness while maintaining softness and movement.
