Kerastase Elixir Ultime is a versatile hair oil designed to enhance shine, smoothness, and overall hair health. Application methods vary depending on the desired outcome and hair type. The product can be used before shampooing as a pre-treatment, before styling to protect against heat, or after styling to add finishing touches of gloss and control frizz. For example, a small amount, typically one to two pumps, can be applied to damp hair before blow-drying to impart thermal protection and facilitate easier styling.
The formulation typically contains a blend of precious oils that contribute to its multi-functional nature. These oils can include argan oil, camellia oil, and corn germ oil, each contributing unique benefits like nourishment, antioxidant protection, and enhanced radiance. Historically, hair oils have been used for centuries to maintain hair’s hydration and resilience. Modern formulations, like this one, build upon this tradition with advanced processing techniques to deliver a non-greasy, lightweight finish.
