Exposition: description of gamma, salon ritual and products
Because the manufacturer claims to be able to turn time back, the name "chromolodzhist" itself alludes to the counting of time. What lies behind these audacious promises, and is it even possible? We won’t think twice about meeting our black heroes and lifting the curtain on the unknown!
Stress is a common part of modern life, and it damages not just skin but also hair. UV radiation and environmental pollution. Everything has a gradual effect on us, the manufacturer claims. Yes, and how could I not agree? Few people have the time to rise when it’s convenient, eat a leisurely breakfast, stroll along the seaside, and grab a bite to eat at a fish restaurant for lunch. A modern girl’s life is a never-ending wheel of events, and sometimes the mantra of the day is "You just have to do everything." I apologize, but this is not the time for leisurely strolls along the beach.
And this is where our French concern becomes useful:
Chronologist is the same product we use on our faces to prevent wrinkles, but it’s specifically designed for hair. Move quickly, akin to a squirrel in a wheel, but don’t forget to smear Chronologist in your path.
The brand studied the aging of skin and hair, identified six aspects of aging: dryness, sensitivity and weakening of the scalp and dullness, brittleness and reduced volume of hair. Based on the research, Kerastase created a special range that prolongs youth and covers all needs:
Above all, take good care of your scalp because, cliché as it may sound, that is where our hair grows. As one ages, their scalp may become more sensitive, drier, or oily. Additionally, factors like stress, UV rays, coloring, and vitamin deficiency can alter hair. They may appear lifeless, sorrowfully suspended in parched strands devoid of luster and volume. Guess who will provide our hair with all the nourishment it requires after that? We have black bottles.
The primary goal in designing this line was to bring back the hair’s natural shine and restore its transparency, weightlessness, and piercing appearance from early childhood. Unfortunately, our skin and hair start to gradually deteriorate around the age of 25. This is a natural process, but if you can’t stop time from passing, at least slow it down, then a healthy lifestyle, exercise, optimism, and, of course, nice cosmetics help!
Revive the life back into your hair! With the Chronologist line, you will feel revitalized from the tips to the roots. Hair will regain its strength, elasticity, and shine. Rewind the clock.
This range, which means "return of life" in Latin, is revitalizing and has outstanding moisturizing qualities. Fits all types of hair. It smoothes and softens without adding extra weight. Chronologist oil is the lightest of these products, according to many who have used them, and the mask doesn’t drag on the ends. Additionally, they guarantee smoothness, shine, and 24-hour moisture resistance—they’re not kidding!
The range stands out for three main reasons (moisturizing + protection + moisture locking and smoothing of scales) in addition to its elegant, opulent packaging in the lacquer colors of night and shiny gold:
- Hyaluronic acid – can hold up to 1000 times more water molecules than its own weight. Fills hair with moisture, penetrates deeply, is included in all Chronologist formulas. Cares for the scalp and hair. Visually increases hair density by attracting water molecules.
- Vitamin E – a natural antioxidant, perfectly protects hair from aggressive environmental influences, improves blood circulation and elasticity of the skin and hair, protects against UV radiation, pollution and free radicals.
- Abyssin (Alteromonas ferment extract) is a unique molecule that is not in any other line of the brand and is difficult to find on the vastness of the cosmetic market. It is extracted from the depths of the ocean, once a year, and sometimes, the extracted amount is not enough to produce a sufficient number of products. That is why products of this range are not always available. Abyssin penetrates deep into the cortex and gives elasticity, firmness, restores, strengthens hair each time and increases the skin"s resistance to inflammation. Rich in antioxidants.
Pearl caviar and renewing cream are the two products used in the salon procedure. Abyssin, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid are present in the cream (this is our mask; further details below). Based on proteins, amino acids, different microelements, and iodine, "caviar" is added to it:
Shampoo and pre-shampoo are used first, then this mixture is applied to the skin and fabric. Shine, radiance, softness, and renewal are all present in the hair. The hairdresser uses Micro Mist to apply finely dispersed steam and ultrasound to the hair after the mixture has been applied evenly throughout the hair. As a result, every part penetrates more deeply, and the process gets more intense. It is just a "haze" for ten minutes.
Program completion for both perfume oil and term. All men take care of you while your hair is drying and styled and you, looking so elegant and opulent, exit the passenger cabin. Experts in the brand advise using Chronologist salon care once a month to nourish and maintain hair, or whenever the seasons change. Buying a mask and using it as a triple once a week is advised as a supporting care. She can prolong the salon outcome for a minimum of two months.
But can a house like that be replicated? The manufacturer asserts that purchasing home care products will undoubtedly bring you closer. They also give the hair a gloss and an update. As an at-home beauty routine Purchasing oil, mask, and shampoo is advised. I can also confirm that you can complete a ritual at home with these products. Use your regular or a more cleansing SHGO as a pre-shampoo, followed by a second step of Kerastase shampoo, and then apply the mask to the canvas and skin (if it feels tight or dry).
Kerastase naturally suggests its Golden Elixir Ultime, but you can also add more silicone oil to the mask if you’d like. Finally, apply oil to the ends of the mask, topped off with your preferred spray or cream if needed:
This range has a unique scent. The primary points that are shared by all of the range’s products are:
- Tea rose
- Orange flowers
- Sandalwood
- Arabian jasmine
- Musk.
The main range of products has an aroma pyramid with notes of freesia at the base, tea rose at the heart, and musk at the base. With the exception of the oil, every product in the line has this scent:
There is a distinct aroma to the oil in the series. All one could say about it is that it smells like jasmine. Alberto Morillas, a renowned perfumer who has created numerous iconic fragrances for the world, is the creator of this scent. The oil was changed recently, and the aroma is now twice as strong as it was in the earlier recipe. It has a very delicate, subtle scent.
Now let’s examine the oil pyramid:
- Top notes: Persian lime, green cardamom, invigorating green tulip
- Heart notes: tea rose, peony, magnolia
- Basic notes: woody notes, cedar, musk.
There is gamma. Long-standing in the brand, it underwent a rebranding a few years ago. The formulas saw some minor changes, but the idea and "heart" stayed the same. Currently, the primary active components of home care are:
Included in home care is Pre-shampoo made of coal that, according to research, is 90% better than regular shampoo at ridding the scalp of metal particles, styling products, and environmental pollutants. Shampoo: hydrate and clean delicately without being overly heavy. Use a mask to hydrate, lighten, and revitalize hair from roots to ends. Thermal: shields against heat and moisture; Oil: adds a transparent sheen and unique, delicate notes to the sensual beauty ritual.
Naturally, there is also a special product, the priciest item in this range, a serum with biometric membrane technology and black caviar (the ingredients are safely preserved and stable right up until the point at which you squeeze a piece out of the bottle and rub it between your palms). An authentic piece of art:
Since the serum is a special product for the scalp as well as the canvas, it is impossible to ignore going into further detail about it:
The range’s colors and textures are extremely opulent:
Furthermore, the credo sounds just as intriguing as the many assurances:
Sophisticated technologies and the height of luxury come together to offer sensual hair care through an effective lens.
Conflict: my acquaintance with the line and how to make friends with it
I got my hands on these lacquered bottles about a year and a half ago. Beautiful jars and the idea of this line have always drawn me in. But I couldn’t make up my mind to buy. Despite the fact that the gamma works well with all hair types, I was long doubtful. Up until I lost it and went to the salon to get my hair done. Regretfully, no convenient times were available, but I found a great consultant who guided me to this magnificent place:
My hair is fluffy, porous, and constantly lacking in hydration, so this line had to satisfy all of my needs. Even low-porosity colored hair benefits from this once-a-month ritual.
First, what did I do? Naturally, I went back and read the posts on our resource regarding this line:
- Christina"s luxurious post Kristina11111
- Magical narration by Tifa_Straif
- Lena"s Bohemian Rhapsody LenaLeTo18 .
I was enchanted and disappointed by the magic spells that surrounded me as I tried, explored, and tested each product before falling in love with it. What made the products work on my hair was the prolonged testing. I used Chronologist alone, in combination with other lines and products, in cycles, and I kept meticulous records of everything. That was an amazing trip that is still remembered today. I keep finding new and interesting aspects of the range that I was previously unaware of.
I need the anti-age line, but why?
- I am no longer "sixteen", and not even 18 anymore and there is nothing better than prevention
- Although the manufacturer positions it as anti-aging, at the same time it states that it is universal and suitable for all hair types
- The master in the salon drew attention to the fact that this is only a convention and the range is used based on the type and needs of the hair – according to the indications
- it replaces the use of ampoules for me and provides care for both the canvas and the scalp.
To date, my diet includes pre-shampoo, shampoo, mask, oil and tremik:





With Kérastase’s Chronologist treatment, which promises to nourish and revitalize your hair like never before, revitalize your hair. Often called the "Black Diamond," this opulent hair treatment restores vigor, shine, and softness by combining cutting-edge ingredients and technology. Chronologist by Kérastase is a remarkable option for anyone looking to give their hair the utmost revitalization because it is perfect for those looking for a premium experience and produces amazing results.
Cumulative action: features of the range application
Put simply, I am overjoyed. Nevertheless, there were a few obstacles I had to overcome when using it. And we’ll begin with the most evident drawback. Each product in this line is more costly than those in its neighboring lines, making it the most expensive line at Kerastase. The range’s pricing strategy is based on its unique ingredients, which include ceramides of various kinds and a special hydrolyzed pearl extract in addition to hyaluronic acid and abyssin.
Here, there is a pre-shampoo but no fondant. Instead of coming in a tube, thermal protection is packaged in a very practical way with a pump. I’m holding two travel-sized items in my picture: oil and shampoo. Our meeting occurred because the large version of the shampoo is no longer available, leaving only the baby, and I received the oil as a gift with the purchase.
What the Chronologist must take into account in order to function is:
- Initially, this is a salon care. Special, concentrated, not for every day. The mask is the first step in salon care, it is also suitable for home care. But this series is always a ritual, and, therefore, it has several steps (at least two products, shampoo and mask, are required). It is together that the products combine into a beautiful symphony, complement and enhance each other (we will talk about this in more detail below in "Conversations with Blonde Absolue" Magnay) .
- Thorough cleansing before starting to use the line. Both in the salon and in home care there is a pre-shampoo that gently removes all dirt and styling. Not yet GOSH (as Kristina Kristina11111 said "not yet GOSH"), softer than Dsd de Luxe, but prepares perfectly. Of course, this pre-shampoo is unique, but a high-quality peeling or your favorite well-cleansing shampoo will also do.
- The series is suitable for all hair types, but has a different frequency of use. For dry, porous, colored and normal hair, it is used once a week, and for oily or low-porosity hair – as a treatment once a month.
- Multifunctionality of the mask. Multi-product mask: it is suitable for both the ends and the scalp (due to bis-sabolol and hyaluronic acid, it soothes dry, tight scalp). It has a little bit of everything, it is designed for all hair types. It can be enriched and made richer – to give it nourishing or even more moisturizing notes. You can play with the mask and use it for different needs.
- Thermal can be supplemented with a spray. Thermal protection has a very unusual consistency – creamy-gel. I read about many girls about the "slippage" moment and I had it too. But since I have been applying the spray, the thermal behaves perfectly. One texture clings to another, there are no problems, the distribution is uniform. Hair is nourished and happy. For greater effect, I can apply serum with hyaluronic acid before the spray. Hair and ends like from a salon – no frizz, no dryness – shine and gloss, delight.
- Rich shampoo, with oils. Here again there are pluses and minuses, depending on the hair type. It is concentrated, enveloping and with frequent use can overload the hair, especially low-porosity. For porous or colored hair, everything is not so strict, on the contrary, its soft washing ability, attention to the ends make it an excellent ally. And here again it is logical that the masters periodically suggest using pre-shampoo as a deeper cleansing.
- The products open up better in interaction with each other. If you take at least shampoo and mask, the result will immediately be an order of magnitude better and higher than from the products alone. They complement each other, the effect is more targeted and powerful. Of course, other products make the result even cooler, but this pair also gives a salon effect. If you buy another product, the effect will be enhanced.*
*Are you curious about the source of this idea? Next, let’s go for a coffee break. We are returning to Mashenka Magnay, and the "Conversations with Blond Absolu" tradition is already in front of you. As the cappuccino gradually fills the cups, the conversation starts on its own. We’ve already started getting ready for the upcoming spring and summer. How about you? After talking about our jars, we considered what to use and with what. Word for word, thought for thought, until Masha utters the sacred words aloud: "Lenochka, Kerastase products ought to be utilized in sequences. Shampoo and a mask, at least!"
It was a huge turning point for me, and I thought it was awesome that all the products could now function in pairs. The salon effect appeared quickly. In the past, all of the lines operated flawlessly; however, this has changed. The outcomes surpassed every anticipation I had. My head was covered with the textures, components, and overall effect that all worked in harmony. So, Masha’s "Wisdom":
The most important thing to know about Kérastase care is the amazing product synergy that can be found within the same line. This is not a commercial. Each product in a line continuously enhances and balances the effects of the others in the line. I have never seen such incredible interaction with other brands. This is how the magic of the Kérastase Universe happens. Magnay
What benefits do I get from using this range synergistically?
- Transparent, light, piercing shine
- S -booting hair without an iron (drying with a hairdryer and combing Tangle Teezer Easy Dry & Go)
- Moisturization, nourishing and restoration
- Excellent scalp care – good cleansing without "tearing"

- works in different directions for both skin and length
- luxury, heavy, evening scent (I like it, and the more products you use, the longer it will accompany you, works like perfume)
- and of course, it is a beauty ritual that brings great practical and aesthetic pleasure.
I occasionally perform the Chronologist ritual as needed. I enjoy using all of the products at once the most. For me, this is an almost ampoule level of care as well as a ritual.
It’s time to think about how it will affect hair. Here are various examples from various seasons, with both long and short hair. I hardly ever stretch my curly hair; the smoothness that results comes from proper maintenance. Now, the room’s lighting is different, but it’s still there. The way that direct pigment is applied and the light conditions affect the color of hair. Smoothness and shine are one thing that never change:






This is my black diamond, the source of my beauty and luxury.
Culmination: review and impressions
It’s time to turn our attention to our heroes and give them a close inspection. Now let’s talk about each character’s attributes and my opinions of them.
The products will be evaluated using my hair type, which is porous, curly, dyed with direct action pigment, and prone to dryness and tangling. Scalp: sensitive, variable, and allergic.
Pre-shampoo Pré-Cleanse Régénérant
A huge glossy tube filled with black lava is the first object to appear on the scene. Who is this kind, enigmatic, and compassionate beast?
Additionally, this is the same pre-shampoo that thoroughly but softly cleanses:
Generally speaking, buddy number one is superior to ordinary sulfate shampoo and gentler than SHGO. Key elements plus charcoal are included in the composition:
However, you won’t be able to fool us for long. Let’s examine every aspect of the composition:
- Base – cleans well, but does not hard: "classic" sulfate, soft and gentle betaine, glycerin (moisturizes and softens)
- Next, various polymers
- Then – prickly argan powder – rejuvenating component, prevents premature aging
- Citric acid – good for leveling pH, smoothes scales
- Propylene glycol – gives softness and facilitates combing
- Salicylic acid – reduces inflammation, helps normalize microflora, strengthens hair follicles, prevents hair loss
- Coal powder – absorbs harmful substances and excess fat, improves hair growth
- Vitamin E + Hyaluronic acid + Abyssin – key components
- Bisabolol – soothes, softens, relieves irritation, strengthens roots, removes flaking and itching, and also enhances shine, gives softness and silkiness to the canvas. Moisturizes both curls and scalp
- Ceramides – "glue" scales, gives smoothness and shine, accumulates in hair and make it stronger
- Safflower Glucoside – conditions, restores dry and damaged hair and skin, has healing and regenerating properties
- Hydrolyzed pearls – Unique, rich component: works as an antioxidant. tones, regenerates the skin. Contains 15 amino acids, as well as various trace elements (magnesium, calcium, etc.D.), vitamins and minerals. Slows down the aging of a scalp and helps to remove toxins, protects against UV radiation, has a whitening effect. As Kristina Kristina11111 wrote, it works great even in minimal concentrations.
- Fragrance – at the very end.
I’m incredibly pleased with the composition. A good cleansing base, components that absorb fat and remove dirt, lots of antioxidants, vitamins, unique components that you will not find anywhere else, soothing and regenerating extracts. hair and skin treatment. As someone with sensitive skin, it means a lot to me that fragrance comes in last. A potent, well-balanced mixture that aims to actually revitalize the scalp and hair in addition to cleaning it.
This tube offers deep cleaning, anti-inflammatory treatment, a vitamin and mineral cocktail, and comprehensive restoration.
Yes, this product has won my heart. It is an inexpensive foaming medium with a texture similar to a thick gel and no inclusions or particles. It only needs to be applied once, right before shampooing. How lovely it looks in your palm—either black caviar or black lava—when you squeeze it out in the shower. In addition, coal has excellent cleaning qualities and lends our dashing man a black hue:
Like all the lines, the pre-shampoo has a lovely, evening scent. It’s thin, stays in the hair, and doesn’t irritate my nose, which is why I really like it. On me, I adore this scent, which takes the place of perfume.
I have to say that the packaging is very practical for this format. The cap screws on properly, and the tube does not slide out of your hands. The product has a very good 200 ml capacity.
Positive first impressions of the product were made right away, and they are still positive today. Pre-shampoo is perfect on its own and produces pure joy when combined with other ingredients. Works "perfectly" every time:
- Low foaming – foams weakly, but this does not interfere with its cleansing abilities
- Cleans much better, than shampoo, but does it very delicately – no tangled hair and no need for pre-p with it – the ends feel great
- Indispensable in care – skin is soothed and cleansed, no inflammation or irritation
- Delightful aroma, which accompanies during washing and then remains a haze on the hair
- Soothes the scalp, hair is very manageable
- Convenient packaging, you can"t squeeze out too much
- Renews hair – washes away styling, dirt, city dust
- Extends washing of the head for one day for sure
- Relieves itching and irritation
- Prolonged – the canvas and scalp remain cleaner for several more washes
- Universality – For any type of skin and hair
- Rejuvenation – Perhaps the skin feels very good – it feels with microbias not disturbed, but the excess from the surface is removed
- Carefully Refers to staining
- Perfectly prepares For further powerful care, whether it is a ritual of a chronolodzhist or amputal care.
This is my favorite product in the line; I find it to be both distinctive and all-purpose. not only cleans, but also nurtures and revitalizes your scalp and hair. Concurrently, provides suppleness and richness with beneficial, uncommon elements; suitable for all skin and hair types. The smallest black dress that each person ought to own is this one.
He’s special to me; I’ve never met anyone like him. It works well alone or in combination with other lines and brands because it doesn’t clash with anything, has an exquisite composition, provides the best scalp cleansing available, and has flowing canvas ends rather than a tangled washcloth. A true gem and the highlight of this collection.
Bain Révitalisant Shampoo
Now that the black man in a tube has made such an ostentatious appearance, let’s move on to step two: shampoo. It is stunning and glossy-beautiful in full size. Unfortunately, the other copy was given away, and the first copy has already run out. For this reason, we will discuss it in a travel-related format today:
This bottle appears so humble. However, the contents within will not be any less fascinating:
Isn’t that beauty? An uncommon choice for shampoo as well. I have nothing more to say than that each item in the line is unique. The essential elements of the shampoo are as follows: Vitamin E plus abyssin. The same rejuvenating and mildly cleansing regimen.
The shampoo contains a lot of different ingredients.
- Base – sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate + betaine – which I consider a plus, with such a rich composition
- Carboxylic acid – has good cleansing properties, creates good foaming
- Amodimethicone – "smart" silicone, which is built into damaged areas
- Salicylic acid – reduces inflammation, helps to normalize microflora, strengthens hair follicles, prevents hair loss
- Key components: Abyssin + Vitamin E
- Propylene glycol – gives softness and facilitates combing
- Benzyl alcohol – simple alcohol, helps to draw components into the hair
- Fragrances – various components with a "smelly" component
- Oleo complex of oils: corn + argan + camellia – have nourishing, softening, restorative, moisturizing and protective properties
- Ceramides – "glue" scales, give smoothness and shine, accumulate in the hair and make it stronger
- Safflower glucoside – gives softness and shine
- Emblica fruit extract (amla) – prevents hair loss, strengthens roots and hair, regulates skin balance, adds shine and silkiness
- Citric acid – improves pH and smoothes scales
- In the last position – fragrance.
There is a good cleansing base that effectively cleanses the skin and hair’s surface, as well as a lot of enveloping, practical ingredients that keep the skin from being overly dried out and the hair from becoming bare. The same idea applies here as it did with the pre-shampoo: gentle cleaning in a single bottle. When using shampoo, it’s important to remember that the ingredients must be left on for five minutes before washing it off.
Travel-size packaging is easy to open; all you have to do is turn the lid. Similar to most of the brand’s shampoos, the cap of the full size unscrews. The small format works well for me for both daily use and travel:
The shampoo smells exactly like the pre-shampoo and the rest of the line’s products—a rich, opulent, evening perfume that permeates the bathroom and follows you around.
Unexpectedly, texture shampoo gel. Extremely nice and soft, foams nicely, concentrated but not greasy, light golden color:
You may be disappointed or pleased with me, but now there will be joys once more. I’ve used this bottle of shampoo before; I’ve used it for a considerable amount of time in a variety of settings and with varying degrees of "killed" hair. Thus, after using for a few years, my impressions are:
- Excellent cleansing – I have porous hair and I like it when it is cleaned thoroughly, but "pulled out", that is, some layer of usefulness should still remain. On the other hand, cleanliness is important to me for the scalp, and it washes perfectly. Here everything came together
- Good cleansing. It can be used from time to time (for example, once a week to perk up), in a course (2-3 times to lift, if the hair is really sad) or for special occasions (for going out)
- Economical – such a baby lasts a long time, what can we say about the full size (the amount of shampoo with two peas is enough to wash your hair once (I wash once if I use pre-shampoo and twice if I use shampoo solo).
- Foaming – is gorgeous – there is a lot of it, it is soft with a delicious aroma
- Straightens hair, smoothes texture, protects from moisture for 24-48 hours (this property increases when using other products from the line)
- Does not weigh down hair, but does not leave it super-light
- Adds shine, smoothes cuticles
- Improves blood circulation – there is a micro-cooling effect
- Maintains scalp balance – it is calm, not irritated and moisturized
- Contains unique components, that time after time restore hair from the inside and fill it with moisture – this is true, you can feel it
- Thanks to anti-inflammatory extracts, it protects against dandruff
- No sensitivity reactions or irritation
- Does not wash out color
- Despite the presence of oils hair is not stuck together, not over-nourished, does not hang like icicles
- Adds volume to the roots and disciplines the ends
- Gives the effect of "a lot of hair".
Fantastic once a week, occasionally during a course, and especially during hair transitions. When one is unsure of what to do with the hair, such as moisturizing it or giving it a deeper clean, or when hair loss has stopped, are some examples of when gray hair appears and the structure of the hair begins to change.
At such borderline moments, it combines everything.
Of course, sensitive skin reactions are possible when fragrance is present, but my skin happily tolerates them. An added bonus is protection from humidity and frizz.
This specimen stands out for providing you with a little bit of everything. Here are some carefully chosen, distinctive ingredients, oils, a decent base for cleansing, and stylish foaming that smells opulent. It accommodates a wide range of hair types. Treatment intervals range from once a month for low-porosity hair to multiple times a week for porous and damaged hair. It can be added to a care ritual, used continuously, or used in a course.
It balances oiliness and dryness, enhances blood circulation, and is incredibly gentle on the ends without leaving your skin or hair feeling oily. This shampoo, in my opinion, has a lot of different applications. It’s also a necessity for me:
Masque Intense Régénérant Mask
On the stage, though, there’s a beauty mask waiting for us. It is more complicated than it first appears because of its special ability to change to fit the needs of the hair. It has gold accents and a gorgeous lacquer color:
The mask’s description is alluring. It is referred to by the manufacturer as a cream, just like the salon version. since the product is the same, albeit in a more compact design. The salon version mixes it with "caviar," while the home version only has it alone. That’s the only distinction.
The phrase "cares for hair from roots to ends" caught your attention. Yes, this mask is great for the scalp as well as the canvas; it hydrates and revitalizes the skin.
Now let’s talk about composition:
- Cetearyl alcohol – improves structure and facilitates combing
- Amodimethicone – "smart" silicone, which is embedded in damaged areas
- Isopropyl alcohol – alcohol, draws all substances deeper, has antimicrobial activity
- Bisabolol – soothes, softens, relieves irritation, strengthens roots, removes flaking and itching, and also enhances shine, gives softness and silkiness to the canvas. Moisturizes both curls and scalp
- Vitamin E + Hyaluronic acid + Abyssin – key components
- Benzyl alcohol – simple alcohol, helps to draw components into the hair
- Butylene glycol – moisturizes and conditions
- Ceramides – "glue" scales, gives smoothness and shine, accumulates in the hair and makes it stronger
- Safflower glucoside – gives softness and shine
- Lecithin – strengthens, restores structure, softens skin
- Another type of ceramides – aimed at improving hydration and strengthening
- Palmitoyl sphingosine hydroxide – the third type of ceramide – a component identical to the skin, strengthens the barrier and helps the skin generate other ceramides on its own
- Perfume at the end of the list.
Excellent composition, up to three different kinds of ceramides, a base of moisturization and regeneration, calming ingredients, and perfume at the very end of the list. Restoration is the main focus, with hints of moisturizing.
Like all Kerastase masks, it comes in standard packaging with a plug and a wide neck. The mask is first packaged with cardboard and mica. In this instance, the cardboard box is also distinctive. In contrast to all other ranges, which are smooth, this one is made in relief beneath the skin, adding even more luxury:



Like other products in the line, it has an evening, lingering scent with notes of musk, woods, and rose. It seems to me that it is the same in the pyramid as the primary positions.
The mask has a mild, creamy, dense, and concentrated texture. There is no sparkle, and the color is pearly white:
The mask is trickier to use than it looks. Its application raises some intriguing points:
- She works in two directions – for the scalp and for the canvas. Therefore, according to the texture, it is not very "heavy", it does not have a nutritious component (otherwise the skin would have become fat quickly). Here is the most frequently asked question to which the manufacturer replies that Mask – for scalp and canvases:
- For scalp, its formula is optimal – He receives hydration (bisabolol + hyaluron and vitamin E) and a shock dose of ceramides. The rejuvenation of the skin, a decrease in sensitivity and a decrease in dryness are plus. This is what the manufacturer says about its use:
"The Kerastase Chronologiste Masque Intense RegeneRant Hair Mask Is Safe for Use on All Skin Types." It excludes dangerous materials such as lead, mercury, petroleum derivatives, and more. Because of this, even if you have sensitive skin, you won’t have to worry about getting allergies, rashes, or burns. Compared to other masks on the market, it is extremely lightweight and will give your scalp and hair a lot more nutrients."
Translated: "All skin types can safely use the Kerastase Chronologiste Masque Intense Regenerant Hair Mask because it doesn’t contain any hazardous chemicals like lead, mercury, petroleum derivatives, etc. Consequently, you shouldn’t be concerned about allergies, rashes, or burning even if you have sensitive skin. It is weightless compared to other masks on the market and effectively nourishes the hair and scalp."
- The next point concerns the synergy of products. This idea occurred to Masha Magnay, and the manufacturer only confirmed it:
"How often should you wear the mask to see the results?" After just one use, the majority of customers begin to see results. But if you use the entire line of products—Pre-shampoo, Shampoo, Mask, Thermal, and Oil—the results will be even better. (After that, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment at a salon to have the Chronologist procedure).
- Initially, this is a salon cream, which is mixed with "caviar" during the procedure. That is, the first stage of salon care. In the salon procedure, "caviar" is mixed into it with proteins, amino acids and various microelements – restoration is in full. That is, like a "half", which, if necessary, is allowed to be supplemented:
If you suddenly run out of moisture, enrich. The manufacturer recommends multi-masking: coat the ends with a thin layer of Chronologist after applying your lipid mask or moisturizing conditioner. This advice is especially pertinent if your hair is dry, porous, or has been dyed frequently. I used a mask and this method without any other products, and I found it to be really enjoyable. I treated my thin hair with my Nutritive:
You may also offer a biased nourishment. Tanya Le fleurs de Liliss wrote extensively about the augmentation of Kerastase masks with oil within the context of the Elixir Ultime series. In the end, the manufacturer suggests using this oil to enhance the Chronologist mask by adding density and nutrition. It only takes one press. Thus, the nourishing notes are already playing the first violin:
The secret to this mask is that it can be used separately or enriched for the scalp and hair, depending on the circumstances.
You’ll also need Chronologist shampoo for this. After shampooing your hair, give it a thorough towel blot. Apply a small amount of the mask to your hands, rubbing it in as you carefully and slowly smear each hair from the roots to the tips. Don’t rush this step. After that, you can wrap your head with film or put on a shower cap. Give this structure ten to fifteen minutes. Once the allotted time has passed, rinse with water and take care as normal.
It seems appropriate to now discuss my thoughts on the mask. And once more, I can’t resist the pleasures. Thus, why did it resonate so deeply with me?
- Versatility – here is care for the scalp and the canvas
- The shine, that it gives is incomparable to anything (and of course, here is the work of all the products as a whole)
- Detangles hair, they are like algae under a stream of water
- Moisturizing + restoration – its strengths
- Cool composition – unique components, many different types of ceramides, caring and softening components
- Reduces frizz, protects from humidity, no electrification
- Possibility of enrichment and care of the mask into greater hydration/nutrition, depending on needs or use solo
- Perfectly combined with any shampoo and subsequent care from other lines/brands
- Economical – you need less than a teaspoon to coat your hair well (after rubbing it in your hands)
- Aroma – I love this scent, in combination with other products from the range it intensifies and remains as a trail
- Does not irritate the scalp (I have a very sensitive scalp), it is applied and washed off easily, there is no feeling of greasiness (I use it when my skin is dry or when I want to do a ritual)
- Smooth hair – despite the fact that I practically do not stretch it to the touch and in appearance for my curly structure it is very smooth.
I get a salon-quality result when I use all five of the products we are discussing today. I occasionally use the mask as part of a ritual or two to three times in a row, particularly during transitional periods during the off-season. In order to rid the hair of extra, I always start the ritual with pre-shampoo and then apply the mask after shampoo. Every time, the outcome is well worth it. I believe that the mask’s distinctiveness and multifaceted qualities make it iconic:
Thermique Régénérant
We’ve now arrived at the fourth stage of maintenance: thermal protection. Of course, it’s also exquisite and unique:
Thermic is used as a lollipop. Naturally, it gives you curls, but its main benefits are in protecting hair from moisture and smoothing it out:
Its main advantage is that it uses a special blend of technology (polymers, waxes, and Kerastase magic) to protect hair up to 230 degrees and precisely activate when heated.
In other words, the formula works better and protects the hair the more you "scorch" with an iron or curling iron. Consequently, the full beauty of this varnish will not be revealed when hair dries naturally without the use of a hair dryer or heat styling tools.
Additionally potent is the composition:
- Waxes, polymers and silicones – for fixation, protection from moisture and smoothness
- Benzyl alcohol – for drawing the components inside and evenly distributing heat through the hair
- Vitamin E + Hyaluronic acid + Abyssin – key components
- Bisabolol – soothes, softens, relieves irritation, strengthens the roots, removes flaking and itching, and also enhances shine, makes the fabric soft and silky. Moisturizes both curls and scalp
- Safflower glycoside – conditions, restores dry and damaged hair and skin, has healing and regenerating properties
- Fragrance – at the very end.
There are still enough healthy ingredients in this heat protection, even though it is intended for styling products. The triad consists of temperature protection, fixing, and moisturizing.
Pleasant scent with the same enveloping, subtle notes of evening. creates a trail and establishes the tone.
Packaging with a pump, very convenient – the product is better preserved, and gives a micro or macro portion. Plus there is a swivel mechanism – protection against leakage. The only thing is that you can"t see exactly how much is left, but you can estimate by weight plus or minus really. Thermal comes in a box under the skin and mica, which is a rarity these days. All other thermal protection products for some reason lost this privilege, although they also used to come in boxes with mica (most likely this happened due to the fact that the concern is now paying more attention to environmental protection and packaging, minimizing the negative impact on the environment):
In the best traditions, the texture is gel-cream. the sherbet in your hands straight up. The color white has a pearly sheen and is devoid of inclusions and sparkles.
It’s time to discuss our impressions of our gentleman now. I would like to mention that I wrote about him not too long ago. And complimented him, pointing out certain traits. Thus, I can say with confidence that I am in love with him and that he is now working 100 percent for me. Without any characteristics or "buts"!
How was the box opened? Very easy:
- Started to use all the products of the range together
- I always apply on Genesis spray and now there are no problems with distribution – the texture clings to the texture and no "slippage", special application techniques (rubbing, patting, strand by strand) are no more
- I use in combination with native Chronologist oil and no heaviness/conflicts
- On damp ends after washing I use Blonde Absolu 2% Hyaluronic Acid serum, then Genesis and Termic spray, and the ends are plump and moisturized until the next wash
- It goes well after moisturizing masks, for example, Rehydrant (in this case, you can do without Blonde Absolu 2% Hyaluronic Acid serum, the ends will feel no less chic):



I have no trouble using Termic now, and girls, there will be joy once more. As a result, observations for today, governed by the guidelines above:
- Now this is my favorite Termic
- Smoothness + protection from humidity (for 24-48 hours)
- Hair care – softness, moisturizing
- Excellent work in a sandwich leave-in
- Moisturizing – hair is really more elastic
- Beautiful shine
- Gives density and seems to increase the diameter of the hair
- Universality – suitable for different hair textures
- Reliable thermal protection with a sealing effect and smoothing of scales – the ends do not cling to each other at all
- Care + fixation – a two-in-one product, which is especially convenient when creating a "going out" hairstyle
- Economy – a small amount is enough, because it glides easily.
The only thing is that, like with Elixir Ultim, I don’t mix it with heavier oils. There could be a weighting effect. Apart from that, this is a really great product, especially if you like straighter, more polished hair or live in a humid climate. Superior waxes and polymers combined with thoughtful components set this Thermik apart. It does not build up over time and is easily removed with sulfate shampoo.
Huile de Parfum Oil
The centerpiece of the collection is the perfumed oil on stage. I’ve got another little version. It arrived as a gift for a purchase and overcame me:
As usual, the manufacturer describes the product in an arrogant manner. However, the oil is really exquisite:
Among the other options in the brand, it is genuinely unique. The lightest, softest texture, and most subtle aroma. Let’s examine its makeup:
- In the first positions high-quality silicones (not heavy, washed out with a regular sulfate)
- Corn oil – moisturizes and softens
- Argan oil – rich in vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants, adds shine, reduces split ends and strengthens the structure
- Camellia oil – nourishes, protects from UV rays, works with brittleness and dryness
- Jasmine oil – moisturizes, prevents hair loss (you never know, micro-particles will reach the scalp – also a plus)
- Emblica fruit extract (amla) – prevents hair loss, strengthens roots and hair, regulates skin balance, adds shine and silkiness
- Myrrh resin extract – rich in antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, restores and strengthens hair structure, often used in anti-aging cosmetics
- A couple more ingredients responsible for the aroma here and there in the list + perfume in the last positions.
I think this oil’s composition is excellent. It’s good that this product has a lot of helpful elements and that you can rely on the oil’s care component in addition to its external impact. In percentage terms, there are a lot of oils because they are quite high on the list.
We can’t stop talking about the scent at this point. It differs entirely from every other product in the line. Apart from its light structure, this oil is distinguished by its distinct smell. The renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas created the scent. a blend of myrtle-wrapped tea rose and woodsy notes. We examined the aroma pyramid of this oil in greater detail above, but in my opinion, the scent is primarily composed of jasmine notes:
Perfume oil seems like it should leave a strong impression on hair. Surprisingly, this oil does not irritate my nose, which at first even upset me because, guess what, I have an allergy to the scent of jasmine. Additionally, the scent is incredibly light and subtle. When applied to damp hair, it becomes more delicate and elegant and opens up brighter on dry hair.
It is the line’s lightest texture-wise. Something in between water and gel. Not at all fat, does not stick together at the ends, and does not oily. I can apply and get dispersed even on dry hair. The hue is transparent and golden.
My package is Trevel-Saise, but it’s really cozy. 50 ml of the product is inside. With its plastic lid, the dispenser only releases a tiny amount. Usually, I press once or twice, but now I don’t need it. However, this is hard to miss because the oil absorbs extremely well and doesn’t look oily. Since an airplane is drawn on the back, taking it with you on a flight is quite convenient. My miniature is entirely composed of plastic, while the full-size is beautifully and opulently packaged in glass:


The manufacturer says that because this line is unique and revitalizing, Oil can be applied to the scalp in small amounts. In the event that your skin is extremely dry and peeling, you will only receive benefits. No, the roots will be stale for normal and oily types.
You can use oil to pre-powder the ends or scalp if needed. After coloring, there is extreme sensitivity or dryness, so you should nourish the skin before washing. Give it a good 20 to 25 minutes, and then use a pre-shampoo from the line to wash it off. This will effectively remove any leftover oil.
Since this oil is sufficiently light—almost a fluid—it is not advised to use it to enhance masks.
Let’s now discuss impressions derived from use:
- Shine – piercing, mirror-like, iridescent – only it gives such a transparent, piercing shine, especially in the sun
- Works great after nourishing masks
- Perfectly combined with all leave-in products, does not conflict with anything, behaves great in a sandwich
- Suitable for any hair type
- Versatile – works great for every day and on holidays
- Aroma – delicate and subtle, gives a light trail, but does not interrupt the perfume
- Due to the texture fluid it is impossible to overdo it, it does not overload and gives "expensive" type
- Suitable for both dryand wet curls
- Universal – no obvious straightening or curling properties
- Thermal protection functions (up to 230 degrees)
- Not economical – due to the texture it is spent faster
- No protection from humidity (they don"t promise us, here it is rather sealing of the remaining components
- The care is not so powerful, both from the classic Golden (which is both a plus and a minus, depending on the hair request).
Among my favorite oils is this one. Its light weight and crystal-like sheen are its distinguishing qualities. My porous hair is ideal for it because the ends stay fresh and untangled without becoming tangled. It’s a great finishing touch that gives the entire picture a glossy look.
