I have to say that several years ago I had the Kerastase in-salon treatments done regularly to try and strengthen my hair after frying it so bad, it had done it’s own “chemical cut.” I had always had long hair and it was now barely to my shoulders with a lot of layers (yuck!). My hair always felt really good after a treatment, so I talked myself into believing it was working, but it still took a couple of years before I could get it to grow longer than past my shoulders. Thanks to the Beauty Brains, I have started experimenting with store brands, and, even though I bleach the heck out of my hair, it still seems to be in the same condition (decent) as when I was spending 5-10x’s as much on products. You guys are saving me a bundle!!!!!

Vita-Ciment might be a catchy name but it certainly isn’t restructuring your hair. Increasing hair strength by 56% is pretty minimal compared to a product like Fructis which claims to increase hair strength by 500%!

Remember you are getting information about this product from people who are trying to sell you something. I’d be skeptical of anything they say. This conditioner will not likely provide any better benefit than your standard store brand conditioner. The fact that it’s sprayed on is irrelevant. Pretty much any conditioner can be made sprayable if the manufacturer wanted to.

How about the Kérastase Vita-Ciment, I kinda intrigued about it. It says that it has a vita-ciment complex that reconstructs your hair and it’s consistency is not your usual conditioner it has to be sprayed on hair and rinse after a couple of minutes.

This Vita-Ciment Concentrate Ritual reconstructs and puts true substance and resistance back into hair that has been weakened by over-processing; colouring and perming, Vita-Ciment will leave the hair strong and revitalized.

Technology – Vita-Ciment Concentrate works from within. It enters the intercellular spaces, filling the cracks, reconstructing and strengthening the hair fibre’s internal substance. It remains in the hair, through several shampoos.

Laboratory tests have shown that a single does of Vita-Ciment Concentrate can increase the resistance of weakened hair by up to 56%.

The high concentration of Vita-Ciment, with a professional dosage of 30,000 ppm (parts per million) makes this a shock treatment.
