CARING FOR MY HAIR WITH GOLDWELL KERASILK PREMIUM HAIR CARE
When I was a kid, I would tag along on my mother’s trips to the hair salon and spend seemingly hours staring at posters on the walls, admiring those luscious hair and thinking when I grow up I want hair like that! And more often than not, they were posters of Goldwell. Somehow along the way, the brand seemed to have lost a bit of its former shine, so I am glad to see Goldwell starting to emerge again. I recently got to experience a Kerasilk Reconstruct Treatment at Chez Vous salon, and also got to bring home a full set of home care products to try. They really are excellent, and I would like to share them with you today!
To be fair, Goldwell has been around for 68 years and their key focus has always been on salon professionals which is why we don’t often see Goldwell products on the retail shelves. But there is a resurgence with the brand, and in the last couple of years, Goldwell’s Kerasilk Keratin hair treatment has been receiving much raves. The philosophy behind it is to use high-end ingredients to create customizable salon services to transform hair’s structure in a way that will make them more manageable. And to complement those salon services, Goldwell has now released a comprehensive range of home care products to extend the results of the salon experiences.
The 4 new home care ranges include – Kerasilk Control for smoothening frizzy hair;Reconstruct for stressed and damaged hair; Repower for fine and limp hair; and Color for evening hair structure for balanced color. Throughout the range, Goldwell has incorporated keratin, which is a form of protein to coat hair strands, thereby smoothening out the cuticles to strengthen the hair fiber and allow hair to fall smoothly. In addition, hydrolyzed silk forms a protective barrier on hair strands, helping to improve hair elasticity, resiliency, and increases shine.
In addition, both the Goldwell Kerasilk Repower and Color home care product series are infused with positively-charged polymers and color-caring silk to enhance the vibrancy of hair color and prolong their shine. The Color series is also sulphate-free to gently cleanse, moisturise and protect color brilliance.
As a reflection of the deep level of thought that had gone into formulating the Kerasilk collection, Goldwell offers 2 different targeted salon services under the Repower series. Kerasilk Repower Volume Service target fine and limp hair, and using keratin and elastin, transforms hair into voluminous and full-bodied hair. On the other hand, Kerasilk Repower Anti-Hairless Service acts to prevent diminution of hair follicles and prevents hereditary hair loss. 2 special ingredients – Procapil and t-Flavanone – densifies and thickens thinning and weakened hair, and strengthens hair from within. And to complement those services, there are 2 branches of home care products under the Repower series as well. Convers.ely speaking, there is a feature salon service under each of the hair care series in the Kerasilk family.
Across the entire Kerasilk home care product range, I have been very pleased to find that the textures are lovely and the scents pleasant. Even the intensive masks feel lightweight and do not leave my hair feeling greasy and weighed down. There is nothing that I dislike, and in fact, I am currently hooked on the Kerasilk Reconstruct range. I had initially assumed that with my frizzy and unruly hair, the Kerasilk Control range might be better suited for me. Whilst that did work out very well for me, I found the Reconstruct range to fortify my hair strands and in so doing, my hair is able to lie flatter, and feels smoother to the touch. It is also the perfect home care range to complement the Chez Vous Express Revitalising Supreme treatment [reviewed here] that leaves my hair tangle-free and silky smooth for weeks! If you’d like some ideas to get started, my personal favourites from the Goldwell Kerasilk home care range are:
Kerasilk Color Shampoo with its sulphate-free formula to protect my coloured hair
Kerasilk Control Smoothing Fluid to protect my hair from heat blow-drying and/or flat-ironing
Kerasilk Control Intensive Smoothing Mask for smoothening out frizzy hair
Kerasilk Reconstruct Intensive Mask for strengthening my hair and providing lasting moisture
The Quicker, Fuss-Free Alternative To A Keratin Treatment
March 28, 2016
If you haven’t tried a keratin treatment for yourself, what you need to know is that it takes spending precious time in a salon chair, but you emerge with your once-frizzy and unruly hair poker straight, and feeling like silk – your fingers can run through your tresses like a dream.
However, you also won’t be able to wash your hair for two to three days after, which is already a pretty big turnoff to us – imagine, in the current heatwave! – but another pretty big downside to a keratin treatment is that many of them contain formaldehyde, also that nasty-smelling chemical that dead lab animals are preserved in. Of course, it’s in a much, much lower concentration when it goes onto your hair, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a harsh chemical with the potential to irritate the skin.
So when Goldwell invited us to try out their new in-salon Kerasilk treatments, with a name like that, we thought we were in for a much longer time in the salon, as well as having to endure only dry shampoo for a few days. We’ve never been happier to be so, so wrong: the Kerasilk Reconstruct Service we tried had us in and out of the Chez Vous salon in one and a half hours, and with zero hair wash restrictions.
The Kerasilk Rescontruct Service is one of five customisable salon treatments launched as part of the new Kerasilk range, which also includes home care products. There’s still a regular keratin treatment with results that last up to five months if you still would like something more permanent, together with other options for volume-boosting, anti-hairloss, and hair colour preservation. Each treatment is supposed to be accompanied by at-home products, meant to maximise the effects of the treatments.

At Chez Vous, the session started off with a hair consultation with the salon’s Chief Director Thomas Teo, whose diagnosis was simple: the problem was limp, lifeless hair that had a high tendency to become a tangled mess especially when wet, and the solution was the nourishing formula of the Kerasilk Reconstruct to rebuild the hair structure from the inside. How is works is that the keratin and Hyaloveil ingredient in the formula go deep into the hair shaft, repairing from the inside so on the outside, hair strands look smooth and healthy again. There’s also an ingredient called the Colour-Caring Silk, to help preserve your dye job at the same time.
A ridiculously relaxing hair wash, a short time under the hair steamer and a nice blow dry later, our hair felt soft as silk, and the tangles felt like a distant memory. There was also a delicious floral scent permeating our locks, courtesy of the treatment’s characteristic fragrance. The effects are supposed to last for up to 10 washes, prolonged with use of the Reconstruct home care range of products, which includes a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, hair balm, and blow-dry spray.
Sure, it doesn’t last for months like a regular keratin treatment does, but the Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct Service is definitely a good shorter-term option if you don’t have the time to sit around for hours, nor the patience to not wash your hair for days. We’ve also found the Goldwell home care products to be of a premium grade, able to convincingly recreate an at-home salon experience (the great fragrance really helps). As long as we’re armed with these, we’re pretty sure no hairstylist will be diagnosing our hair as a tangled mess at our next trip to the salon.
