Kérastase Heat Protectors
Protect your hair from heat damage with Kérastase's dedicated thermal protection range, available at HairMNL — an authorised Kérastase retailer in the Philippines.
Whether you reach for a blow-dry primer before the hairdryer, a thermal cream before the flat iron, or a finishing oil that doubles as a heat shield, the Kérastase heat protector lineup offers a targeted formula for every styling routine and hair type:
- Genesis Thermique — a lightweight blow-dry primer designed for weak or breakage-prone hair; detangles, hydrates, and creates a thermal barrier that supports the hair fiber through styling.
- Ciment Thermique — a milky leave-in cream ideal for damaged or chemically treated hair; reinforces the cuticle and smooths the surface during blow-drying.
- Discipline Oléo-Relax (with heat protection) — a blow-dry oil-serum for frizzy, unruly hair that provides smoothing control while guarding against styling heat.
- Chronologiste Thermique Régénérant — a pre-styling heat protectant cream for hair that needs intensive age-defying care alongside thermal protection.
- Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale — Kérastase's iconic multi-benefit oil that, applied before blow-drying, nourishes lengths and provides a heat-protective layer alongside extraordinary shine.
- Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk — a leave-in styling milk with heat protection properties for glossy, frizz-free results.

Frequently asked questions
Which Kérastase product is the best heat protectant?
The right choice depends on your hair type and styling habit. Genesis Thermique is a go-to blow-dry primer for weak or breakage-prone hair. Ciment Thermique suits damaged or chemically treated hair that needs cuticle reinforcement. For frizzy hair, the Discipline range offers heat-protective smoothing. If your hair also needs intensive nourishment, Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale applies before blow-drying to add a heat-protective, shine-boosting layer. Browse the full range on this page and use the filter to match your concern.
Is Kérastase Elixir Ultime a heat protectant?
Yes — when applied to damp hair before blow-drying, Kérastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale functions as a pre-styling treatment that helps guard lengths against thermal damage while delivering nourishment and shine. It is not a dedicated blow-dry primer, but it is widely used as part of a heat-protective styling routine for all hair types.
Can I use Kérastase hair oil as a heat protectant?
Several Kérastase oils — including Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale and, depending on the formula, Chronologiste Parfum Hair Oil — are suitable for use before heat styling when applied to damp hair. They create a coating on the hair surface that helps minimise heat-induced moisture loss and surface damage. For dedicated thermal protection with a clinically developed barrier effect, the brand's Thermique-labelled primers (Genesis Thermique, Ciment Thermique, Chronologiste Thermique Régénérant) are specifically engineered for that purpose.
Is Kérastase heat protectant available in the Philippines?
Yes. HairMNL is an authorised Kérastase retailer in the Philippines and carries the full heat protection range — including Genesis Thermique, Ciment Thermique, Chronologiste Thermique Régénérant, and finishing oils with heat-protective properties. All products are authentic and delivered nationwide.
What is Kérastase Ciment Thermique used for?
Kérastase Ciment Thermique is a leave-in heat protectant cream designed for damaged or chemically treated hair. It is applied to damp hair before blow-drying. The formula helps to reinforce and smooth the hair cuticle during styling, reducing the risk of further heat damage and leaving the hair with a softer, more uniform finish. It is particularly recommended for hair that has been bleached, color-treated, or subjected to repeated thermal styling.
How do I use a Kérastase heat protectant?
Application varies by product format. Blow-dry primers and leave-in creams (such as Genesis Thermique and Ciment Thermique) are applied to towel-dried, damp hair before styling — distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends, then style with heat as usual. Finishing oils (such as Elixir Ultime) can be applied to damp hair before heat or to dry hair afterward for shine. Always follow the directions on the individual product. For best results, use as part of the complete Kérastase ritual designed for your hair concern.
