Kérastase Chronologiste: Luxe Care for Stressed & Ageing Hair (NZ)
Chronologiste is Kérastase's prestige range — the one we reach for when hair and scalp need reviving, not just washing. If your hair feels lifeless, dull and "older" than it used to, this is the treat that works.
It's built around caviar-inspired actives and hyaluronic acid to renew the scalp, restore softness and bring back shine — a holistic, anti-ageing-for-hair approach. Yes, it's a splurge; it also feels and performs like one.
The range
- Bain Régénérant — a regenerating cleanser that revives the scalp and the lengths in one step.
- Masque Intense Régénérant — the weekly intensive that restores softness, strength and bounce to stressed or ageing hair.
- Thermique Régénérant — a heat-protecting treatment that smooths and shields before styling.
- L'Huile de Parfum — a famously beautiful scented oil for shine and fragrance; a drop on the ends is pure luxury.
Who it suits
Hair that's gone dull, lost density or bounce, feels rough, or just deserves the best — and anyone who loves a sensorial, salon-at-home ritual. It pairs well with a scalp-focused routine; see our scalp guide if yours needs attention too.
How to use it
- Use the Bain as your regular shampoo, and the Masque once a week on damp hair for 5-10 minutes.
- Apply Thermique before heat styling; finish a dry style with a single drop of the oil on mid-lengths and ends.
For density specifically, compare with Kérastase Genesis in our thinning-hair guide.
