Blond Absolu - Bain Cicaextrême Shampoo

smell is not great

it's got a really strong smell I couldn't get past. I returned it. Most of the kerastase products have a strong smell that at first I am overwhelmed, then I can get past it and I love it. .but this was off putting and smelled like mildewy old person perfume (no offense to any old person (I'm one!)) I would say i think it would work well cause all of their products do but I think the smell was not worthy of the kerastase name. if they change the smell I hope they advertise it so I can try it again. I wish they would make some products for Curly highlighted hair. seems like they have curly or highlighted, but not both...

Great for blondes! I have very thin and dry bleached hair. The results from this is great! Only downside is it doesn’t sud

Very happy so far

I just got this and have only used once and I already see a huge improvement in my hair. Will be buying again.

Lengths Hydration!

This is a gentle/ heavy cleansing balm, great for damaged lengths. I use it as a treatment shampoo. As I find it doesn’t cleanse my scalp. I need to go in with the other liquid shampoos to cleanse scalp. Still a staple for BLONDE maintenance.

A must have for blondes that care for their hair.

Prefer to Christophe Robin and for halo the price.

Protective shampoo for any shade of dry hair

Really hydrating shampoo for anyone with dry hair and/or dry scalp. I don't have bleached or very blonde hair (medium, darkish, cool toned blonde) and this gives my hair extra protection during washing. I shampoo with this cream shampoo and follow with a Kerastase mask (rotation of several) and for my dry hair, it has resulted in well hydrated, clean hair. It also lasts a long time (long hair) as you only need a little product emulsifier with water.

Great for bleach-damaged hair

After a horrible bleaching incident comma this really made a huge improvement in my hair. I don't think I can go back to using regular shampoo! Love this and the smell is great too

Not purple but a must have for bleached hair

This has made a dramatic difference in my over processed bleached hair. It’s one of 6 Kérastase products I’m using. I am only using Kérastase on my hair this year as it’s one of the few brands that makes my hair feel good and that doesn’t make the side of my face breakout. I steered away from this brand for a long time due to the fact that it contains silicone but I received it as gift and I fell in love.

This product is amazing! My hair was bleached curly and very dry. After using this shampoo my hair tangled free and very soft.

Necessary for my lifestyle

I've been on the hunt for a good gentle shampoo that is sort of a conditioner type of wash, and I've found that this was the perfect fit for my routine. I work out every day and sweat so much, I feel gross if I were to just use dry shampoo, however I knew using a regular shampoo every day was too stripping on my hair. I find that this product is the perfect product that doesn't strip my hair but it leaves me feeling clean, I'll follow with regular conditioner (I alternate between olaplex, Kérastase, or Drybar) and my hair feels super soft after!! Try a sample before going for the full product to see if it fits you

Must have, can’t believe how my hair feels!

This is such an amazing cream shampoo. It lathers nicely with a lot of water. I bleach my hair quite a lot and my ends are basically fried. I recently asked my hair stylist to cut my hair because my hair was growing at such weird lengths due to the damage. Anyway, I’ve only used this once and it was the night I got this shampoo in the mail. My hair feels so good, I have to physically tell myself to not touch my hair. I did grab a couple other items from this absolute blonde line and I think I will be very happy. This isn’t a shampoo meant to tone a blonde though, it’s definitely a heavy shampoo meant to help with damage due to being a fake blonde. I’m a fake blonde, for sure! I think anyone who suffers from very dry, brittle hair this is the cure. My hair is also VERY fine and thick and my hair does not feel weighed down. I followed up my creamed shampoo with a heavy moisture mask from Oribe to which I added drops of purple from the IGK toning line (also from Sephora). Afterwards, I did follow up with an Oribe product for blondes called radiance (it’s like a purple spray you put in your hair after shampoo, in my situation shampoo and conditioner). Rinse with cold water. Then, I placed the thermal conditioner from kerastase (blue/greenish bottle of leave in conditioner) and a blonde serum from Oribe. Point is- fire. Hair looks and feels pretty freakin go healthy considering I have horribly damaged hair. It feels like I’ve never put any kind of chemical on my hair- ever. So good!!

Love love

I have platinum blond, fine long hair. My problem was detangling and sometimes dry ends, so I decided to try this cream shampoo. After using it I have seen big differences. My hair become somehow more alive, silky smooth and nourished.
