Chroma Absolu is the Kérastase range for color-treated hair, especially when sensitized or damaged. It helps keep color vibrant and hair hydrated. Many formulas have an anti-porosity effect. They fill the gaps in the fiber, making the hair stronger and the color last longer. The heat serum and oil contain Centella Asiatica.
Bain Chroma Respect is the shampoo for fine to medium hair. Bain Riche Chroma Respect is the nourishing version, for medium to thick hair. Fondant Cica Chroma is the fortifying anti-porosity conditioner. Masque Chroma Filler is the mask for medium and thick color-treated hair. Soin Acide Chroma Gloss seals the cuticle and gives intense shine. Sérum Chroma Thermique protects against UV, humidity, and heat. L'Huile Chroma Éclat gives long-lasting shine.
Wet your hair and remove excess water thoroughly. Apply the shampoo to sections, emulsify and massage into the scalp, then rinse. Leave the conditioner on for 2–3 minutes, and the mask for 5 minutes. Massage Soin Acide into the lengths for 1–2 minutes until it turns into a cream, then rinse. Apply the heat serum to towel-dried hair, 2–4 pumps, before drying. Use the oil at the end for shine.
