Update: I have been getting a lot of hits on this post and wanted to clarify. I’ve been going through my boxes of old clothes (you know, the ones you like that you don’t want to get rid). I bought this robe new, many years ago, during this campaign. I laugh where they mention Marilyn Monroe was probably “most appealing to a woman over a certain age,” as there were many non-boomers into the line.
I actually never wore the robe because I wanted to keep it in good condition. It still has the original tags. I purchased it either at the defunct Emporium-Capwell or Macy*s. Too long ago to remember. I can’t believe how beautifully it has held up.

In the early 2000s, it was impossible to find Kerastase in the US. I only discovered it after a month long work trip in central Europe. I dragged my sad head of hair into a salon when I drove into Warsaw, where the stylist told me she had a new product that would help. O.M.G. My hair experienced a revival beyond expectation. I bought as many bottles as I could take back and was crushed to find it had not yet been released in the US. I could have used a little help deciphering the instructions (written in Polish!) as well.
I still have some of the bottles. The red Solaire (spf for hair) line didn’t have as much of an impact for me as the orange Nutritive, so it still contains some product.
Kerastase is now available, but still a tad scarce. The internet makes it a little easier to purchase. I highly recommend Chroma RicheandMasquintenseif you have colored/dry hair issues.
