Those negative outside influences can be chemical treatments like colouring, permanent waves or relaxers, as well as excessive use of heat styling tools or blow dryers. Kérastase Nutritive Irisome protects and nourishes dry hair in an ideal manner and provides moisture, without removing the natural volume from the hair.

The Kérastase Nutritive Irisome Complex

The Irisome Complex works with the help of the power gluco-active ingredient and the Irish Rhizome extract. The Power Gluco Active Ingredients is a combination of lipids, glucose and proteins, which nourish the dry hair fibre deeply. The Irish Rhizome extract of the Nutritive Irisome product line is a strong anti-oxidant and protects the hair from free radicals. The technology behind the Irisome Complex helps to find the areas in the hair that are the driest and need the micro-ingredients the most and can be specifically targeted. The hair is being protected and dryness is prevented from returning.

The Iris Rhizome extract comes from the root of the Iris flower, which can flower under the most extreme conditions. The secret of this flower lies in its root, also called rhizome, which has a depot of essential nutrients and anti-oxidants. This ability is used to activate the self-defence mechanism of the hair fibre. The root of the Iris flower has to mature for several years before it can be ground down to a powder and then be distilled into the extract that is used for those products. This Iris Rhizome extract is also called Iris butter and also very valuable and sought after in the perfume industry because of its sensual scent. Kérastase uses the ability of the root to provide long-lasting moisture to the hair, by depositing the active ingredients on the driest parts of the hair.
