Kérastase Resistance Extentioniste
Kérastase Résistance Extentioniste is a targeted length-strengthening ritual for hair that breaks before it grows. Powered by Creatine R™ — an amino acid complex that rebuilds hair fibre from within — and reinforced with Ceramides and Maleic Acid, the collection works from scalp to ends to reduce breakage, restore resilience, and support stronger, longer hair over a sustained 90-day programme.
The ritual covers every stage of the hair routine:
- Bain Extentioniste — length-strengthening shampoo that cleanses while fortifying fragile mid-lengths
- Fondant Extentioniste — creamy length-strengthening conditioner for detangling and reinforcing ends
- Masque Extentioniste — intensive weekly length-strengthening mask for dry, thinning ends
- Sérum Extentioniste — scalp and hair serum applied by pipette to stimulate the scalp and strengthen the fibre from the root
- Extentioniste Thermique — heat-protecting blow-dry primer that seals the hair fibre and primes it against breakage from styling
Best suited for anyone growing out their hair, managing fine or fragile strands, or dealing with slow growth caused by repeated breakage at the lengths. Authorised Kérastase retailer for the Philippines.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Kérastase Résistance and Extentioniste?
Kérastase Résistance is the overarching line dedicated to strengthening and repairing damaged hair. Extentioniste is a specific ritual within Résistance, focused on the particular problem of breakage at mid-lengths and ends that prevents hair from growing long. Where general Résistance products address overall fibre damage, Extentioniste targets the growth journey — using Creatine R™, Ceramides, and Maleic Acid to reinforce the fibre at the zones most likely to snap before reaching the desired length.
What does Kérastase Sérum Extentioniste do?
Sérum Extentioniste is a dual-action scalp and hair serum applied directly to the scalp via a pipette. It works to stimulate scalp microcirculation — which supports the hair growth environment — while simultaneously fortifying the hair fibre from the root. It is typically used one to two times per week as part of the full Extentioniste routine.
Is Kérastase Résistance Extentioniste good for fine or damaged hair?
Yes. The collection is specifically designed for fragile hair that breaks at mid-lengths and ends — which includes fine hair, chemically-treated hair, and heat-damaged hair. The Creatine R™ complex penetrates the cortex to rebuild weakened fibre, while Ceramides help seal the hair surface and retain moisture. The result is hair that feels stronger and more resilient through each wash cycle.
Is Kérastase Extentioniste worth it?
Kérastase Extentioniste is positioned as a professional-grade, salon-developed ritual rather than a single-product fix. Users who commit to the full 90-day programme — combining the shampoo, conditioner or mask, serum, and thermique — typically report a meaningful reduction in breakage and an improvement in how long their hair retains its length. It is best suited for those with a specific length-retention goal rather than a general moisturising need.
How do you use the Kérastase Extentioniste Thermique?
Extentioniste Thermique is a blow-dry primer gel cream applied to towel-dried hair before heat styling. Distribute evenly through the mid-lengths and ends, then blow-dry as usual. It protects hair from heat damage and helps seal the fibre surface, reducing breakage caused by styling tools.
