I love Kerastase Initialiste for about 1.5 yrs. Really ever since I saw one of your hair videos. What a difference it has made in hair growth. I love it. I've had my T3 for 3 years and love it. And your hair is fabulous. I really like your hair this way with no extensions. Looks so fresh and updated. You are beautiful!
Good for you for not jumping on the money bandwagon! :) I do have a hair care question. The past few months I notice that I am shedding more hair than normal. Could it be from the type of shampoo and conditioner that I am using? Don't laugh- but I am using pantene.
You are killin it without the extensions. Your hair is beautiful and much more flattering. One of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and try the Kerastase products.
Great video!!! I tried Monat and I hated it, my hair was shredding a lot😳 It was scary👎🏼 So, you don't recommend Oribe anymore? My hair likes Christophe Robin prickly pear shampoo and mask and Oribe oil.. what do you think about sulfates son Kerastase line? Thank you
Preach girl! Once you go Kerastase you don't go back...LOL! I agree with everything you say no matter what I've done to my hair it's still healthy from using good Kerastase products. Loving the length of your hair! You can just see it's health! XO Nicole
Hi Nicole, do you find the dimethicone in Kerastase products causes build up and weighs down the hair? I started using Kerastase and loved the feel of my hair until I realized it was the silicones, so I stopped.
I’ve had no problem with Monat, used it for almost 3 years now. Mainly the shampoos and occasionally the conditioners. Cured my psoriasis and my scalp is SO healthy. Has always grown really fast, even now faster past 3 years. I have never bought into Monat, I just buy it when I need it...no VIP or MP! I have had great success, my hair looks great and everyone asks what I use. xx
My hair never Fell out or detoxed! I never got dry gunky hair or any hair problems at all when I changed to Monat. I was using quality shampoos prior to changing.
Thats wonderful for you! I have just personally seen and heard horror stories from it as well....alot! So thats why my decision on not to use it. Everything is different for everyone :)
Great video! I agree with you about the Monat. I tried it for a while and I was shedding like crazy and then I ended up with dry, flaky scalp. I didn't work for me at all. I'll have to look into the Kerastase.
I was thinking of trying the Monet, but now thanks to hearing your point of view I will stay with what I like and with what is working. I bought the Skinmedica TNS recovery complex yesterday- it was a treat. Can't wait for the magic to happen. Lol
Your hair color and style is the best. I I follow your hair guy on Instagram. I am totally freaking out about hearing about the shedding, because I started to see another hair stylist after having my hair done by kerastoss stylist for 14 years and she gave me this bumble and bumble no detergent shampoo that I used for 4 months and my hair started falling out like crazy. I went back to my kerastoss stylist and using kerastoss and hair is not falling out. I just figured this out after seeing your video. Thank you!
I ordered some Kerastase products! I don't usually splurge but I'm so excited. Thanks for always sharing what you use! I love how real with you are with reviews.
Hey your hair looks fresh and like 5 years have been lifted off you!!! Soooo young and healthy! What's the best most cost effective place to buy The Kerastse products you recommend???
I also agree about Kerastase. It's the best. My favorite is the shampoo. Not only is it good, it rinses off like a dream- most shampoos you have to rinse forever.
Completely agree with you Briana! Kerastase is the best hair line. I always buy it from Rue La La it's much cheaper . I also want you to try Kerastase Therapiste dual chamber serum instead of Kerastase Archetecte . It smells amazing and it does better job with split ends!
I tried the system.....my hair is naturally thick and course, as well as highlighted. After 30 days of using the Monat product my hair was fried!! It was a bush and touching it caused it break. I had to have a little over 2 inches cut off. My hair fell out as well and no shine. I have the same thought process as Daniel, if you need to detox your hair use a clarifying shampoo that works not a product that takes 90 days to detox your hair and makes it fall out. I have no idea what I was thinking when I purchased this product. I am very interested in trying the Karastase line.
I used the balance line. My scalp developed nodules. I have photos. it was just swollen nodules like cauliflower. My hair loved it in the beginning but after 2 weeks my hair got oily/dry and swollen red. I used the bottles. Same with the IRT system...same results but just drier.
I use the exact same products and am also obsessed!! I also use the Kerastase oil in the orange bottle and the combo of the three is my holy grail. I have highlighted blonde fine hair and Kerastase changed my life years ago.
Your hair looks so healthy....I am sold! Thank you-I really appreciate your honesty and how you do not bash other products but still can say why you do not want to try them. Very classy.
do you like this Kerastase line better then the Chroma Riche line. I used that years ago and loved it , was just wondering what you thought about the other line designed for colored hair. I also have been using the Ouai shampoo and conditioner and love that too. It has made my hair so soft and hasn't stripped any color. Im thinking of maybe using both so my hair doesnt get used to one, I do believe my hair gts used to a shampoo if i use the samd one for awhile. Was just wondering if your tried the other line and the Ouai and how you felt about it. Thank you and your hair does look amazing!!!
Its my understanding that some of the ingredients in Monat are the natural equivalent to rogaine, and that is why the temporary shed during the 1st 3 months of usage. The same thing can happen when starting rogaine.
I am definitely going to look into these products. I just cut my hair in a A-line long Bob and would love to see a hair tutorial on how you blow dry using your Sephora round brushes and your baby bliss curling iron...that would be great if you could do that!! You have gorgeous hair!
I have to agree with you in EVERY single product mentioned !! my hair have changed a lot since I've using Kerastase (2 years ) and my witness is Daniel he have seen the change and he have done miracles to my hair. I love you both.
I followed you recommendation from a previous video and ordered the Keratase products and enjoyed them. I also have been using a couple of Monet products and my only complaint is my scalp feels drier (and i do not wash my hair daily). I truely think i will go back to the Keratase line hoping i can make myself finish this bottle of Monet first. Thanks for the recommendations!!
Nothing compares to Kerastase. I have tried also so many professional hair care barands but I always come back to Kerastase products . They have a new line now for colored hair I'm thinking to give it a try.
I'm getting ready to take my extensions out and am so nervous about my fine hair. I ordered some Kerastase products to hopefully make the most of what hair I do have! Thanks for the Monat update. Someone recommended it to me, but I ended up going with Kerastase because I know how great their products are.
Just ordered the Kérastase Resistance line. I loved the results after getting some samples. I love the scalp Kerastase product you recommended. It's has helped my scalp be less itchy and flaky. The other line of products I use that I love is the Saryna Key line. The Repair mask is amazing and cruelty free.
I love your videos so much beautiful but wanted to ask you do you wash your hair everyday since you mention you use initialist every single day I thought we should wash our hair 4 times a day cuz I just bought initialist since you recommended but oh well thank you blessings
I know this sounds crazy but I am obsessed with wen cleansing conditioner!! I love how it makes my hair feel!! I have not had any hair loss at all due to it! In fact sometimes I have to take a break because my hair is getting so thick! I want to try kerastase too because your hair is gorgeous!!
Your hair is so beautiful! I love this length and color on you! I have just purchased the purology shampoo and conditioner and like them, but I think I will try Kerastase next. Have you ever tried purology? I have highlighted hair and tons of new hair growth all the time that I have trouble controlling. Thanks for sharing Brianna.
I have been using the Monat system for 2 months and switched to Living Proof. It started out good enough but after a month my hair became dry and frizzy!!!! It was soft as babies hair but it looked pretty bad. So I switched to a shampoo system for aging hair and it works very well. I would like to find a good system that I can stick with that really works . I have tried so many and spent so much money I am about to give up and just go back to my biotin hair products LOL SO far the living proof is doing pretty good.
I'm so glad I watched your video. I was thinking of getting the Monat products. I have fine hair already I don't need any falling out...I'll invest in Kerastase instead...thank you
What do you think about dimethicone in the Kerastase products? Long term is it going to cause build up and weigh down/dull the hair? I find having to use clarifying shampoos too much to remove build up really too drying.
Brianna, love your hair without extension :) I have a question non-hair related but can you do a video or recommend products to use for a 10-year-old. He is starting to have small pimples/blackheads and I want to know what are the safe products to use that young of age without irritating their skin and help control acne problems. I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Ria CH she mentioned a product awhile ago called Purple Emu redness and blemish control, she has it on her website premier look I purchased it for my 10 year old daughter a few months ago and let me tell you, it has completely cleared up her little bumps and blackheads with zero irritation or side effects! I swear by this for kids! Just use it consistently for a couple weeks. I hope I could help :)
My 10 year old son is getting some small pimples on his nose and forehead too. I guess it's the age. I bought something gentle at the drugstore for him but I would also love to hear what she might recommend.....
Wow, there is no end to the compliments you're getting about your new extentionless classy hairstyle, is there? Well, for he third time from Europe, from me: you have never looked better than with this hairstyle. Really, it makes SUCH a difference compared to the (former) extensions you had!
Great video. I've been using Kerastase for about nine years and I love it. While I was in Spain I bout and tried the Chronologiste mask by kerastase . I felt in love with it!!! You should try it. Ask Daniel about it. In my opinion Kerastase it's the best. A little pricey but so worth it!!
I have had new hair growth from Monat but the rest of my hair feels like crap!! I've slowly been switching back to my old products and I'm going to try your recommendations!! I
Denise B I also have had amazing growth too and less shedding but the rest of my hair is very dry. I just got past my 2nd month with the Monat product and I'm going to give it the full ninety days before I give up. The only reason why I'm sticking with the product is because I have so much growth and less shedding otherwise based on how the rest of my hair feels I would have called it quits.
Honestly Monat has been so amazing for me. My hair has never fallen out in clumps, my hair actually falls out and sheds LESS. My hair is weightless, bouncy, and shiny. My hair was very damaged before and Monat has been so amazing for me.
As always you look great and I agree - with everything you said in this video when it comes to hair. As I tell my husband , I have one head of hair and I'm going to treat it the best possible way. I too trust my hairdresser and use the products he has recommended to me over the years and my hair also is healthy because of that. I will have to check if the Kerastase products have sodium chloride or sulfates as I do the keratin treatment and that will strip it away. I use to use them many years ago but them stopped. Finally someone speaks the truth about the Monat hair care line. I'm so glad to hear this. I am going to have to try those brushes from Sephora. Currently I use the ones from Olivia Garden and I love them.
Yes they do have sulfates, they really are not bad for the hair like people say. People say they are drying and all that. Daniel explained the whole thing to me and it was very interesting his take on the whole thing. He is my hair genius he knows so much ;) But yes sulfates with a Keratin treatment are not the best mix ;)
I have color treated very dry split ends etc. I am trying to figuure out if I should buy Redken Extreme or what you suggest Keratease. Did you ever use Redken and can tell me e difference between Kerstease & Redken. Great videos! Thank you. Kathy
I cannot use Kerastase products because every single one I tried made my hair oily within 24 hours & the heavy fragrance they have in it literally gives me migraines. Not good for me. However my hair stylist uses Shu Uemera hair products and the products don't have a heavy fragrance smell & have my hair in excellent condition. Bumble & Bumble is another brand that works well for my hair. Your hair looks great so keep using what works for you ❤️👍🏼
Love your hair I also tried monat and agree with you totally to me it smelled terrible and wasn't producing any results I noticed that you are right some RUclipsrs praising on it I've noticed have have creamy flat hair so glad someone shared my view can't recommend it
Brianna, Funny, I asked my hair stylist the same question about Monat and she gave me the same reply about a clarifying shampoo too. Thank you for your suggestions.
I have been using monat for about a month already my hairdresser recommended it to me no shedding on my end but It makes my scalp super oily.I already had that problem before monat but this product has made it worse!!! I have been wanting to try Kerastase I might have to try that next.
Absolutely agree about the Kerastase products....I use and love them also! My only complaint is that I live in PA, I have to order my products from the Kerastase website, and they do not sell the LARGE bottles....so that's a bummer! I have long blonde hair and I tend to use a lot of conditioner, and those turn on caps on those smaller bottles are a real pain in the a#@ when you are in the shower......UGH!!!!
Could you please tell me what your stylist thinks about Ovation Cell Therapy? I hear it advertise on Sirius XM radio all the time and it promises everything, especially for thinning hair. I would love some feedback on products for thinning hair as well. Thank you!!! :)
So so glad you didn't jump on the Monat thing! Your hair looks gorgeous. Update fwiw, I ended up not buying the YSL All Hours (you put the fear in me :) ) and instead tried the Osmosis cc cream. Really liked it.....Great video as always.
Hey Amy! Oh so glad you are liking the CC Cream as well! That and the new Osmosis foundation are my favs! They just truly are amazing on the skin, and gotta love the good ingredients too ;) XOXO
Your hair looks wonderful, Brittany! Monat sounds horrible!! I'm NOT a risk taker with my hair. That being said, how are sulfates, (which my hairstylist does NOT endorse) silicone, and parabens suddenly be good for your hair?? (Kerastase)
Jessica Storm hair stylist here and also sensitive to sulfates. The no sulfate thing has really just turned into a marketing strategy to sell “non sulfate” products. I know the claim is sulfate strips hair color and I simply don’t agree. It’s all about ph of your products. If you’re using a Professional sulfate shampoo that is ph stable you won’t need to worry about the sulfate. I have seen extreme scalp buildup bc people are so scared of sulfates. This sounds gross but when I’m washing clients hair my nails will get a bunch of product buildup under them while doing a proper cleansing. Here my rule with silicone, if heat is being applied to the hair I absolutely do not recommend silicones as they can’t withstand high heat. Nor do they actually have a real benefit, they offer faux shine. They don’t absorb in the hair they sit on top of it. I wash and style my naturally coarse wavy hair once a week. I do not apply any silicone product bc I will be touching my waves up with a wand. However, I do keep a silicone based smoothing product in my purse to touch up frizz until my next wash. Parabens are just a personal preference. If you’re not a vegan then you’re consuming and using parabens everyday so think of it like that. I do not work at a Kerastase salon and I still buy their products at full price bc I love them so much :)
Heather Curry I am also a hairstylist and it annoys me that Kerastase does not offer a professional discount ?? I know this is an old video but just stumbled upon it , 😄
Your hair looks amazing and so much younger than with the extensions!!!! Really youthful and beautiful !! I meant to tell you this the other day!!!!❤️💇
Over here like.... 😏 yup, I have all those products in my cabinet and love them because of Brianna. LOL loved this video! Do you know if Kerastase makes a scalp rinse to get rid of build up for people who only wash hair once a week & use dry shampoo?
I had a horrible experience with Monat! I have been a hairdresser for 17 years..... worse thing I’ve ever used. I did a video explaining it! Smart Mouth Beauty
Omg bye bye Kenra and hello kerastase !!! I have been looking for some hair products beside Kenra that has been my life for so long but now I'll be purchasing the kerastase!!
I have blonde hair too but if I use the same shampoo and conditioner for more than 2 days at a time it becomes greasy and dull. I recently got a purple shampoo and conditioner. It has lavender and chamomile tea. It's called OGX. I'm loving it. Smells so good. And it's not tested on animals. It's also sulfate free
Hi Brianna, thank you for being honest about what you have heard regarding Monat! I have been using these Kerastase products for a long time as well. My super blond hair has never been so healthy! I swear by the Initialiste and the two other products for styling and protecting hair. I had a horrible experience with Monat products where a colorist used the shampoo after coloring and toning my hair and I had a greasy mess with the toner still in when I got home. Not joking! I couldn't figure out what the heck had happened until I thought about it. My hair still hasn't recovered from this experience. Have been using all of my K products everyday trying to get my hair to feel better. I have never used the Monat products and never will! Happy they are working for some people but they aren't for me. xoxo
Thanks my friend and sorry you had a bad experience too :/ I keep seeing comments from people saying how it wrecked their hair. I can't believe so many people push this stuff....it can't be good. Hope your hair recovers fast! ;)) XOXO
Kerastase products are wonderful! I use them and have for over 20 years. I alternate though because if I use the Ciment products too frequently my hair will get coarse from too much of a good thing. I alternate with some Hask products, Joico and Olaplex. My over-processed and bleached hair is amazing soft, shiny, long and strong, so I'll stick with this protocol. Monat just sounds so scary to me! Yikes! LOL
Love your hair, the colour and cut is beautiful. I'm gradually going lighter so I'm going to try the kerestase hair products. My hairdresser says that you get what you pay for so lreally pamper my hair once a week with Philip Kingsley elastisizer treatment over night and my hair is in good condition even though it is bleached and coloured. Love n hugs xx
I appreciate the fact you are willing to speak up against the latest fades. I have learned so much from watching you, thanks!
I love Kerastase Initialiste for about 1.5 yrs. Really ever since I saw one of your hair videos. What a difference it has made in hair growth. I love it. I've had my T3 for 3 years and love it. And your hair is fabulous. I really like your hair this way with no extensions. Looks so fresh and updated. You are beautiful!
I liked your hair before, but I LOVE it now. It looks so much more healthier! Looks polished, yet sassy
You look younger and classy with your natural hair, beautiful. And you are so right, this brand is the best.
i can't get enough of you as i agree with everything you talk about , you are a gift to all of us
Amen girl! Once you find what works, stay put!! Your hair has been absolutely perfect!
Good for you for not jumping on the money bandwagon! :) I do have a hair care question. The past few months I notice that I am shedding more hair than normal. Could it be from the type of shampoo and conditioner that I am using? Don't laugh- but I am using pantene.
I love Kerastase and have used it for years. I see no desire to change it to anything else. Thank you for the great information
Oh WOOOW Hair tutorial please!! I have probably watched all your youtube ones 500 times! 🙌🏻 obsessed with anything hair since i purchased my ZALAS
You are killin it without the extensions. Your hair is beautiful and much more flattering. One of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and try the Kerastase products.
Great video!!! I tried Monat and I hated it, my hair was shredding a lot😳 It was scary👎🏼 So, you don't recommend Oribe anymore? My hair likes Christophe Robin prickly pear shampoo and mask and Oribe oil.. what do you think about sulfates son Kerastase line? Thank you

I like your hair so much now; it is more youthful/fresh and is the perfect proportion for your TINY frame.
Thank you!
I agree Kerastase is the BEST!!

You're right about Monat. It shouldn't have a "purging" stage, unless it's irritating the scalp, per my derm. You're very honest.
I ordered some Kerastase products! I don't usually splurge but I'm so excited. Thanks for always sharing what you use! I love how real with you are with reviews.
Thank you Aubrey! You are going to love them for sure! Keep me posted ;) XO
I used kerastase years ago and they are excellent products. I will go back to using them. I also use that blow dryer

Thank you!
I know this sounds crazy but I am obsessed with wen cleansing conditioner!! I love how it makes my hair feel!! I have not had any hair loss at all due to it! In fact sometimes I have to take a break because my hair is getting so thick! I want to try kerastase too because your hair is gorgeous!!
Your hair looks fantastic Brianna!! I did like you as a brunette too.
Hi Brianna, have you tried the Dyson Supersonic or the Airwrap?
Your hair is so beautiful! I love this length and color on you! I have just purchased the purology shampoo and conditioner and like them, but I think I will try Kerastase next. Have you ever tried purology? I have highlighted hair and tons of new hair growth all the time that I have trouble controlling. Thanks for sharing Brianna.

I will try that on my son. Thank you. :)
Such lovely natural hair Brianna. 👍👍

The only reason why I'm sticking with the product is because I have so much growth and less shedding otherwise based on how the rest of my hair feels I would have called it quits.
Honestly Monat has been so amazing for me. My hair has never fallen out in clumps, my hair actually falls out and sheds LESS. My hair is weightless, bouncy, and shiny. My hair was very damaged before and Monat has been so amazing for me.
As always you look great and I agree - with everything you said in this video when it comes to hair. As I tell my husband , I have one head of hair and I'm going to treat it the best possible way. I too trust my hairdresser and use the products he has recommended to me over the years and my hair also is healthy because of that.
I will have to check if the Kerastase products have sodium chloride or sulfates as I do the keratin treatment and that will strip it away. I use to use them many years ago but them stopped.
Finally someone speaks the truth about the Monat hair care line. I'm so glad to hear this.
I am going to have to try those brushes from Sephora. Currently I use the ones from Olivia Garden and I love them.
I checked the Kerastase shampoo that Bri uses and it does contain sulfates!
Yes they do have sulfates, they really are not bad for the hair like people say. People say they are drying and all that. Daniel explained the whole thing to me and it was very interesting his take on the whole thing. He is my hair genius he knows so much ;) But yes sulfates with a Keratin treatment are not the best mix ;)
Do you wash your hair everyday? Need to try some kerastase products!
Your hair looks beautiful either way, long short..STUNNING IS STUNNING! Xo Bri!
I trust what you say because I know you do your research. Thanks for the Kerastase recommendations and the Monat advice.
I have color treated very dry split ends etc. I am trying to figuure out if I should buy Redken Extreme or what you suggest Keratease. Did you ever use Redken and can tell me e difference between Kerstease & Redken. Great videos! Thank you. Kathy
Hi Kathy! I have tried both and Kerastase it much more effective then Redken ;)
I cannot use Kerastase products because every single one I tried made my hair oily within 24 hours & the heavy fragrance they have in it literally gives me migraines. Not good for me. However my hair stylist uses Shu Uemera hair products and the products don't have a heavy fragrance smell & have my hair in excellent condition. Bumble & Bumble is another brand that works well for my hair. Your hair looks great so keep using what works for you ❤️👍🏼
I love Kerastase but I also use some Shu conditioners. I love them too. And the Shu ones do smell amazing to me.
This is good to know, I've never tried Kerastase and am super sensitive to scents. I'll have to smell before I buy!
Thank you Brianna 💐
I definitely will return to Kerastase 🦋🙏🦋
Your hair is gorgeous and so healthy.
Love your hair I also tried monat and agree with you totally to me it smelled terrible and wasn't producing any results I noticed that you are right some RUclipsrs praising on it I've noticed have have creamy flat hair so glad someone shared my view can't recommend it
Brianna,
Funny, I asked my hair stylist the same question about Monat and she gave me the same reply about a clarifying shampoo too. Thank you for your suggestions.
Great information. Your hair looks beautiful.
I have been using monat for about a month already my hairdresser recommended it to me no shedding on my end but It makes my scalp super oily.I already had that problem before monat but this product has made it worse!!! I have been wanting to try Kerastase I might have to try that next.
OK off topic, but i finally ordered something from premier look. I needed eye cream so badly so i ordered the clinicians complex retinol eye cream.
Absolutely agree about the Kerastase products....I use and love them also! My only complaint is that I live in PA, I have to order my products from the Kerastase website, and they do not sell the LARGE bottles....so that's a bummer! I have long blonde hair and I tend to use a lot of conditioner, and those turn on caps on those smaller bottles are a real pain in the a#@ when you are in the shower......UGH!!!!
Could you please tell me what your stylist thinks about Ovation Cell Therapy? I hear it advertise on Sirius XM radio all the time and it promises everything, especially for thinning hair. I would love some feedback on products for thinning hair as well. Thank you!!! :)
Brianna what is a good clarifying shampoo?
So so glad you didn't jump on the Monat thing! Your hair looks gorgeous. Update fwiw, I ended up not buying the YSL All Hours (you put the fear in me :) ) and instead tried the Osmosis cc cream. Really liked it.....Great video as always.
Hey Amy! Oh so glad you are liking the CC Cream as well! That and the new Osmosis foundation are my favs! They just truly are amazing on the skin, and gotta love the good ingredients too ;) XOXO
Brianna Stanko Is the osmosis foundation liquid? I know you've talked about it but I forget. Thanks, Brianna
Your hair looks beautiful without the extensions❣️Is that chandelier canvas art from zgallerie? Beauty room looks great! Super cute "love" sign.
Thanks Shelly! Yes thats where the art is from ;)
Your hair looks wonderful, Brittany! Monat sounds horrible!! I'm NOT a risk taker with my hair. That being said, how are sulfates, (which my hairstylist does NOT endorse) silicone, and parabens suddenly be good for your hair?? (Kerastase)
Jessica Storm hair stylist here and also sensitive to sulfates. The no sulfate thing has really just turned into a marketing strategy to sell “non sulfate” products. I know the claim is sulfate strips hair color and I simply don’t agree. It’s all about ph of your products. If you’re using a Professional sulfate shampoo that is ph stable you won’t need to worry about the sulfate. I have seen extreme scalp buildup bc people are so scared of sulfates. This sounds gross but when I’m washing clients hair my nails will get a bunch of product buildup under them while doing a proper cleansing. Here my rule with silicone, if heat is being applied to the hair I absolutely do not recommend silicones as they can’t withstand high heat. Nor do they actually have a real benefit, they offer faux shine. They don’t absorb in the hair they sit on top of it. I wash and style my naturally coarse wavy hair once a week. I do not apply any silicone product bc I will be touching my waves up with a wand. However, I do keep a silicone based smoothing product in my purse to touch up frizz until my next wash. Parabens are just a personal preference. If you’re not a vegan then you’re consuming and using parabens everyday so think of it like that. I do not work at a Kerastase salon and I still buy their products at full price bc I love them so much :)
Heather Curry I am also a hairstylist and it annoys me that Kerastase does not offer a professional discount ?? I know this is an old video but just stumbled upon it , 😄
Looking so sooo pretty!!
Love love love Kerastase and I have no desire to try any other brands whatsoever!
great VIDEO Brianna! You should try REDKEN BLOND IDOL masque and IGORA SCHWARZHOF mousse 9,5.1. They are also amazing!!! KISSES from Switzerland!
Your hair looks amazing and so much younger than with the extensions!!!! Really youthful and beautiful !! I meant to tell you this the other day!!!!❤️💇
Just thinking about any hair routine updates ~ thanks!!! 💖
Over here like.... 😏 yup, I have all those products in my cabinet and love them because of Brianna. LOL loved this video! Do you know if Kerastase makes a scalp rinse to get rid of build up for people who only wash hair once a week & use dry shampoo?
Hahahahaha ;) Hmm, I'm not sure I will ask Daniel cause I know he will know ;)
Brianna Stanko yes!! Please and let me know! I would appreciate it! Or just a good clarifying shampoo for that purpose! 😊 thanks!!
I want to try karatase resilient spray
I had a horrible experience with Monat! I have been a hairdresser for 17 years..... worse thing I’ve ever used. I did a video explaining it! Smart Mouth Beauty
oh no, thats what I was afraid of myself...too many horror stories....
i had a bad experience too developing nodules.....like cysts and swollen scalp.
Girl I’ve had so many clients have scalp probs (almost looks like psoriasis) and hair loss. I anticipate a future lawsuit like WEN
I've always loved your hair so I'm going to splurge and get some of the products.
Love your style. ♤♤♤♤ , I was thinking about buying monat but always not sure.
Omg bye bye Kenra and hello kerastase !!! I have been looking for some hair products beside Kenra that has been my life for so long but now I'll be purchasing the kerastase!!
I have blonde hair too but if I use the same shampoo and conditioner for more than 2 days at a time it becomes greasy and dull. I recently got a purple shampoo and conditioner. It has lavender and chamomile tea. It's called OGX. I'm loving it. Smells so good. And it's not tested on animals. It's also sulfate free
What type of extensions did you have? Were they tape in?
I need the Sephora brushes!!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Brianna, thank you for being honest about what you have heard regarding Monat! I have been using these Kerastase products for a long time as well. My super blond hair has never been so healthy! I swear by the Initialiste and the two other products for styling and protecting hair. I had a horrible experience with Monat products where a colorist used the shampoo after coloring and toning my hair and I had a greasy mess with the toner still in when I got home. Not joking! I couldn't figure out what the heck had happened until I thought about it. My hair still hasn't recovered from this experience. Have been using all of my K products everyday trying to get my hair to feel better. I have never used the Monat products and never will! Happy they are working for some people but they aren't for me. xoxo
Thanks my friend and sorry you had a bad experience too :/ I keep seeing comments from people saying how it wrecked their hair. I can't believe so many people push this stuff....it can't be good. Hope your hair recovers fast! ;)) XOXO
Kerastase products are wonderful! I use them and have for over 20 years. I alternate though because if I use the Ciment products too frequently my hair will get coarse from too much of a good thing. I alternate with some Hask products, Joico and Olaplex. My over-processed and bleached hair is amazing soft, shiny, long and strong, so I'll stick with this protocol. Monat just sounds so scary to me! Yikes! LOL
Love your comments on Monat!!! Seems awful to me and I would never take that chance either.
Love the smell of kerastase, but I can't use it unfortunately. Makes my scalp soooo itchy. I have to use shampoo with no sls.
I see that this line has a hair mask. Should I use that instead if I only wash my hair three times a week? Instead of conditioner.
Is Kerastase sold in any Beauty Stores ? I would love to try this.
Your hair is amazing, thanks for all the info❤️
Thank you my friend! XOXO
The Monat Line I have tried and my hair has shedding a lot so I stopped it !
Love your hair, the colour and cut is beautiful. I'm gradually going lighter so I'm going to try the kerestase hair products. My hairdresser says that you get what you pay for so lreally pamper my hair once a week with Philip Kingsley elastisizer treatment over night and my hair is in good condition even though it is bleached and coloured. Love n hugs xx
Too bad my scalp get very itchy when I use Kerastase shampoo 😔
