Beyoncé Launches Cécred with Eight Hair Products
Beyoncé has introduced her highly-anticipated haircare line, Cécred, now available exclusively on Cécred.com. The debut collection, known as the Foundation Collection, features eight products designed to cleanse, condition, nourish, and repair hair. This range caters to all hair textures, from straight to coily, and is suitable for virgin, color-treated, chemically-processed, and heat-styled hair.

- Moisturizing Deep Conditioner: Formulated with an African oil blend and shea butter, this conditioner moisturizes, softens, and improves hair manageability.
- Reconstructing Treatment Mask: Featuring the brand’s patent-pending Bioactive Keratin Ferment, this mask reduces damage, increases strength, and improves shine after just one use.

- Moisture Sealing Lotion: A multi-tasking leave-in lotion that seals, smooths, and styles with a light hold.
- Nourishing Hair Oil: A silicone-free blend of 13 oils and plant-based extracts designed to lock in moisture and add a soft shine.
- Ritual Shaking Vessel: A luxurious vessel for mixing the Fermented Rice & Rose Powder with water to create a fortifying hair rinse treatment.
