Résistance Masque Force Architecte

Deep strength for weakened hair. Kérastase Résistance Masque Force Architecte is a reconstructing treatment mask for weakened and damaged hair. It targets the fibre at its core to repair and strengthen from within, leaving hair softened, shiny and smooth. 200 ml. A Curious stylist favourite.

Key Ingredients, Explained

• Vita-Ciment® (Pro-Keratin and ceramide): Pro-Keratin is a protein complex that mimics keratin to help rebuild the fibre, and ceramide helps recreate the cement between cuticle cells for strength from within.
• Sève de Résurrection (resurrection plant extract): From Myrothamnus flabellifolia, a plant known for its regenerating power, to help revitalize weakened hair.
• Amino acids (arginine, serine and glutamic acid): Help replenish the fibre so weakened hair feels stronger and more supple.

What It Does

• Reconstructs and strengthens the fibre.
• Anti-breakage action.
• Helps prevent split ends.
• Leaves hair softened, shiny and smooth.

Why We Love It

• Concentrated reconstructing mask.
• Root-to-tip repair for brittle hair.
• Rich texture that melts into the lengths.

Best For

Weakened, brittle or damaged hair that needs intensive strengthening.

How to Use

1. Apply to washed, towel-dried hair.
2. Massage onto lengths and ends.
3. Leave in for 5 minutes.
4. Emulsify and rinse thoroughly.

Curious Stylist Tip

Before rinsing, add a splash of water and work the mask through with your fingers. That emulsifying step helps it spread evenly and rinse clean.
