Kérastase Spring Ritual: A Simple 3-Step Routine for Stronger Hair

Spring is the season of renewal—a time to refresh, reset, and re-energize. While you’re swapping out your winter wardrobe and refreshing your skincare routine, don’t forget that your hair needs a seasonal shift, too. The transition from dry winter air to warm spring humidity can leave your strands feeling a little confused: frizzy one day, flat the next, and always in need of a little TLC.

That’s where Kérastase comes in. Known for its luxurious, high-performance hair care, Kérastase offers targeted solutions for all hair types—and this spring, we’re making it simple. At Elan Hair, we’ve put together an easy 3-step spring ritual featuring some of our favorite Kérastase products to help you strengthen, nourish, and protect your hairas the seasons change.

Why Spring is the Perfect Time to Reset Your Hair Routine

Winter often leaves our hair feeling dry, brittle, and dull—especially if you’ve been battling static, indoor heating, or heavy styling products. As spring arrives, so do new challenges: humidity, sun exposure, and environmental allergens. These can cause your hair to react in all kinds of frustrating ways, from frizz and breakage to oiliness and loss of volume.

Spring is the ideal time to press pause, detox your strands, and introduce a ritual that supports stronger, healthier hair from root to tip. And the good news? You don’t need a complicated regimen to do it. With just three intentional steps, you can give your hair everything it needs to shine this season.

Step 1: Cleanse with a Strengthening Shampoo

The first step in any strong hair ritual starts at the root—literally. Your scalp and strands need a clean, balanced foundation to thrive, especially in the spring when excess oil, sweat, and pollen can quickly build up.

We recommend starting your routine with a fortifying shampoo like Kérastase Bain Force Architecte or Bain Nutri-Fortifiant from the Genesis line, depending on your hair needs.

• Bain Force Architecte is perfect for damaged or weakened hair prone to split ends and breakage. It gently cleanses while reinforcing the hair fiber from within, thanks to key ingredients like Pro-Keratin and Ceramides.
• Bain Nutri-Fortifiant is ideal if your hair is experiencing seasonal shedding or thinning. It helps strengthen the hair fiber and reduce breakage while nourishing the scalp.

Massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips—not your nails—to stimulate blood flow and lift away buildup. Rinse thoroughly to prep your hair for the next step in the ritual.

Step 2: Treat with a Targeted Conditioner or Mask

Now that your hair is clean and refreshed, it’s time to replenish it with deep, targeted nourishment. This step is all about customizing your care based on what your hair needs most in the spring.

If your hair feels dry, tangled, or overworked from winter styling, reach for Fondant Extentioniste, a lightweight conditioner that strengthens fragile hair and supports healthy length. If your strands need more intensive repair, try Masque Reconstituant, a rich, creamy mask that rebuilds the hair fiber and restores softness and resilience.

For those battling frizz or dullness due to humidity or sun exposure, Masque Discipline or Masque Elixir Ultime are fantastic options for smoothness and shine.

Apply the product from mid-lengths to ends (or from roots if using a scalp-specific formula), then comb through with a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing with cool water to help seal the cuticle and lock in moisture.

Step 3: Protect & Finish with a Leave-In or Serum

The final step in your spring ritual is all about protection and prevention. Styling, heat tools, UV rays, and environmental aggressors can all chip away at your hair’s strength—but a great leave-in or serum can create the perfect shield.

Here are a few of our favorites from Kérastase that we love recommending to our guests at Elan Hair:

• Cicaplasme (Blond Absolu line): A lightweight leave-in that protects against heat and UV, perfect for highlighted or lightened hair.
• Nectar Thermique: A nourishing blow-dry primer that protects from heat up to 450°F while smoothing and hydrating dry hair.
• Serum Fortifiant (Genesis line): A daily scalp serum that strengthens roots and reduces hair fall due to breakage.
• Elixir Ultime Hair Oil: An all-time favorite for adding shine, softness, and protection—without weighing hair down.

Apply your leave-in or serum to towel-dried hair and style as usual. Your hair will feel softer, look shinier, and—most importantly—be better protected as we head into warmer, sunnier days.

Pro Tips to Maximize Your Spring Hair Ritual

✔ Be consistent – Like skincare, results from hair care come with regular use. Stick to your 3-step ritual a few times a week and adjust based on your hair’s behavior.
✔ Don’t forget your scalp – Healthy hair starts at the scalp. If you’re feeling itchy or oily, consider a weekly scalp scrub or detox treatment.
✔ Rotate your mask or treatment – Your hair’s needs can change weekly with the weather. Keep a couple of options on hand to rotate based on moisture, strength, or smoothing needs.
✔ Book a trim or in-salon treatment – After winter, your ends might need a clean-up. Pair your at-home routine with a deep treatment at Elan Hair for optimal results.
