KÉRASTASE Curl Manifesto Crème de Jour Fondamentale Leave‑In Cream 5.07 oz — Hydrates, Defines & Heat Protects to 450°F

KÉRASTASE Curl Manifesto Crème de Jour Fondamentale is a lightweight leave-in cream that hydrates, defines and protects wavy, curly and coily hair while controlling frizz and boosting shine.

This leave-in treatment combines Manuka Honey and Ceramide to restore moisture, reinforce curl structure and make styling easier without weighing hair down. Designed for daily use on damp hair, it offers thermal protection up to 450°F and helps curls hold their pattern while improving detangling and manageability. Use it alone for natural air-dried styles or before heat tools and diffusers for polished definition.

How does this cream improve curl definition and manageability?

The formula targets dehydration and surface irregularities that blur curl pattern, delivering focused moisture and internal reinforcement. Lightweight emollients smooth the hair cuticle while active ceramides help strengthen strand cohesion so curls form with more clarity and bounce.

• Hydrating Manuka Honey for sustained moisture
• Ceramide complex to support strand structure
• Ultra-light feel to avoid flattening waves or coils
• Proven increases in conditioning and definition when used in regimen

Will it protect my hair from heat styling and reduce frizz?

Yes — the product includes heat-shielding ingredients that provide protection for styling tools and diffusion up to high temperatures. Its smoothing properties also create a surface barrier that helps reduce immediate humidity-driven frizz for all-day control.

• Thermal protection rated up to 450°F for hot tools
• Instant frizz reduction lasting through daily humidity exposure
• Works with diffusers and blow dryers for enhanced definition

How should I apply Crème de Jour Fondamentale for best results?

Apply to freshly washed, towel-dried hair and distribute generously from roots to ends. Rake through sections then scrunch to encourage natural pattern formation; do not rinse so the formula remains as a leave-in styling base.

• Use on damp hair after cleansing with Curl Manifesto shampoo/conditioner
• Apply a generous amount, work through evenly, then scrunch
• Style by air-drying or diffuse for faster, more defined results
• Combine with other Curl Manifesto products for maximum benefits

What visible improvements can I expect with regular use?

When incorporated into a complete Curl Manifesto routine, the cream contributes to noticeably softer, more defined curls with easier detangling and improved strength. Results accumulate with consistent use, revealing increased curl definition, reduced breakage and a healthier-looking finish.

• Up to 74% more conditioned feeling for curls
• Enhanced detangling power and reduced knotting
• Greater curl definition and improved strand resilience
