The other day I was reading a blog post about Kerastase Chronologiste. Truthfully the product sounds awesome, but before I even get into that, the treatment alone costs $150.00.
Yes you read that right, I did not accidentally add an extra ‘0’, it literally costs a buck 50! Now let me not come on here and act as if it is the first time that I have ever in my life seen a very expensive product that is supposed to work wonders for your hair.
I have seen them and I have often wondered if at the bottom of the jar or bottle I would find the rainbows’s treasure maybe? Maybe a diamond or a pearl or something rather exotic that would make my hair magically heal itself from all its troubles.
All jokes aside, when you see a product like the Chronologiste treatment that is that expensive how do you know if it’s worth it? Well the first thing we would check is the ingredients:
Cationic Derivatives – Soften, smooth and facilitate detangling.
Silicone Concentrate – Emollient ingredient brings suppleness and shine. Hair fiber is renewed, deeply nourished and strengthened.
Gluco-Lipids – Restore nutritive deficiencies.
Squalane – Essential fatty acid protects fiber and scalp from drying out.
Trio of Ceramides – Strengthens and regenerate the fiber; hair integrity is preserved.
Vitamin A* & E – Anti-oxidant protection leaves hair safe-guarded from external aggressions; scalp is regenerated, soothed and hydrated.
Bisabolol – An active principle of Chamomile, heals the scalp.
Enriched Pacific Sea Water – Ultra-rich minerals and micronutrients increase skin barrier function and hydrate the scalp.
Those are some fancy-pants ingredients, they translate to, fats, a few great vitamins*, a bit of herbal action and some protein. In comparison to other deep treatment masks, this one is pretty good but at the same time very comparable.
I hate to pit one company against the other, but at that price all rules get broken so the next step for me in deciding the worth was looking at the ingredients of one of my favorite brands, Shea moisture*.
I chose the Jamaican Black Castor Oil* Strength And Grow Treatment Masque that everyone is going crazy over. Let me not copy and paste the extensive list of ingredients here, because I might bust my word count. The point is the product has even more ingredients that can lead to the soft, smooth shiny hair that Chronologiste guarantees.
Shea moisture* is not enriched with Pacific Sea Water though and well I have my doubts on that ingredient anyway, because it might just simply be ‘water’.
To be fair I would never purchase a product that cost that much at my present budget, if I was Rihanna or a Shia Lebouf with a new ponytail, maybe I would sing a different tune, but for now I am just Petra with a 12.00 spending max on treatments.
Is the product worth $150.00? For me, no way! But it depends on who you ask… It does have pearls in it though that burst in your hair, but even with such luxury, I think I would much rather buy a pair of shoes!
What do you guys think? Would you spend $150.00 on a hair product?

Chronologiste is actually a system. There’s an exfoliating scalp treatment, shampoo, and masque. These products focus on scalp, renewal, which promotes a strong hair fiber. The masque is very moisturizing. Its for all hair types. Chronologiste has been around for a while. Love, love this line.
Natasha Brown Idahor says
There’s also Initialiste, which are drops you apply to your scalp, and then massage. Helped grow my edges back within a year.. Go to the Kerastase website, and check out the products

alana says
I dont see why not.A relaxer, treatment, flat iron and cut at a decent salon costs more than that. At least this thing is good for more than one use.

I probably would. I don’t believe in just reading the ingredients and comparing it to something cheap that I’ve used. Sometimes it’s not simply what’s in a product, but the amounts of each ingredient present that makes it effective. You can’t get that information on the side of the container. But I don’t understand how so many women could say no to spending $150 on a hair product when they probably spend more than $150 on multiple products EACH MONTH, then spend hundreds of dollars on hair weave/braids/hair vitamins/accessories/salon services,etc. It’s all money you’re spending on your hair regardless how you spend it. Every woman here probably has $150 worth of cheap products they don’t use or like under their bathroom sinks right now. What’s the difference?

Sophia Gabot says
If it works and guaranteed to do something for 4c hair that none other doors…id consider it
BlueCornMoon says
I used to spend $100 a pop for my Innovations curly perm & when the price went up to $150 I kept getting it because it was way better than Carefree Curl which was like “Soul Glo” & messed up pillow cases,etc. Innovations was a dry perm & only needed a glycerin based spray,shampoo & a conditioner. Since then I’ve never spent that much on a single product. HOWEVER ! If it were guaranteed to make my hair grow an inch a month, fill in thin spots,get rid of gray PERMANENTLY, make my fine hair strong as piano wire so it would never break, & keep me with a full head of healthy hair as I get older , then I’d get it in a heartbeat !
Eurasia Quick says
