The products

Having blonde hair can sometimes feel like a full-time job with the constant upkeep that is required to keep strands looking healthy AND maintaining that fresh-out-of-the-salon colour. Your at-home haircare products play an important role in keeping your hair colour looking great in between appointments. The upkeep of blonde hair can sometimes feel like a mammoth task however Kérastase has eliminated the guesswork and created an easy to use, customisable system for all shades of blonde.

The Kérastase Blond Absolu system helps neutralise brassy tones without negotiating on the nourishment and health of hair. The entire system can be tailored to maintain all different shades of blonde, from sun-kissed ombré through to platinum blonde and grey hair, by mixing and matching each product in the Kérastase Blond Absolu Range.

Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumiere is a hydrating and illuminating shampoo, and Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet is an iridescent purple shampoo that neutralises brassy tones for a brighter-looking blonde. Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash is a lightweight conditioner that helps to nourish, repair and reconstruct hair, and Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet is a deep purple hair mask that neutralises unwanted tones in the hair whilst also intensely hydrating and nourishing the hair fibre. The Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme is a lightweight heat protectant and hair treatment for all hair types that can be used on all shades of blonde and grey hair.

Our panel of Review Crew® testers put these products to the test.

The panel

Beauty Crew sent Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumiére, Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra Violet, Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash, Kérastase Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet and Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme to a panel of women aged between 25 and 65 with different shades of blonde and grey hair who needed an easy-to-use haircare routine that would help tone and maintain the colour and condition of their hair. Each participant received a combination of three products that were specifically tailored to suit their individual hair needs; all participants received the Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaplasme.

The lowdown 

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Kérastase Blond Absolu Range.

The way their blonde looked after using the range: Reviewers were very impressed with the range's ability to neutralise unwanted brassy tones in their blonde and grey hair.  Members noted that unlike other toning products they had tried previously, the continued use of the Blond Absolu range helped maintain and extend the life of their in-salon colour considerably without drying out or damaging their hair.

The way their hair felt after using the range: Members were very pleased with the nourishing qualities of the shampoo, conditioner and treatment, with many commenting that they had seen a noted improvement in the overall health of their hair. They found that their hair was left shiny, silky and soft and that their frizz and fly-aways were minimised and smoothed. In particular, those with curly hair loved how the range left their curls looking more defined and bouncy than usual.

The convenience of the Cicaplasme: Review Crew® members loved the fact that the Cicaplasme leave-in treatment allowed them to streamline their styling time by combining benefits of multiple products. They liked the fact that they could have one product that would allow them to keep unwanted brassy tones at bay AND helped prolong the life of styling, with many saying they felt their hair needed to be washed less frequently than usual after using the Cicaplasme treatment.
