Wash away the hard-water dullness. Kérastase Première Bain Décalcifiant Réparateur is a creamy decalcifying repair shampoo for damaged hair. It removes calcium build-up from hard water while restoring keratin bonds, so hair looks shinier and feels stronger and softer. Trusted by stylists worldwide.
Key Ingredients, Explained
-
Citric acid: An organic acid (AHA) that captures and removes calcium build-up from hard water, inside and on the surface of the hair, to fight dullness and stiffness.
-
Glycine: An amino acid that penetrates the hair's inner layer once calcium is removed, helping reconnect broken bonds between keratin chains to reduce breakage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does hard water damage hair?
Calgary and much of Alberta have hard water, which leaves calcium deposits on hair. Damaged, bleached or porous hair absorbs even more, so it looks dull and feels stiff and brittle. Première removes that calcium while repairing.
Is it OK for coloured hair?
Yes. It's made for damaged and colour-treated hair.
Can I use it daily?
Yes.
Where can I buy Kérastase in Alberta?
Online at denimandsmith.com, shipped from Calgary, or at any Denim & Smith location across Calgary, Edmonton, Cochrane, Okotoks and Rocky View.
