KERASTASE Blond Absolu Ultimate Blonde Care Ritual

The Kérastase Blond Absolu Ultimate Blonde Care Ritual is a four-step set for blonde, bleached and highlighted hair that turns yellow or brassy. It contains Bain Lumière Shampoo 250ml, Masque Ultra-Violet 200ml, Cicaplasme Heat Protectant Serum 150ml and CicaGloss Hair Oil 75ml. The toning comes from the violet mask: violet cancels yellow tones, and it will not correct orange.

What is inside

• Bain Lumière Hydrating Shampoo 250ml: the everyday cleanse
• Masque Ultra-Violet 200ml: purple conditioning mask that cancels yellow
• Cicaplasme Heat Protectant Serum 150ml: Kérastase states protection up to 230°C
• CicaGloss Hair Oil 75ml: a finishing oil for shine

Who it suits

Blonde, bleached, highlighted or balayage hair that is blow-dried or heat styled and tends to warm up to yellow between salon visits.

What it will not do

• It will not fix orange. Orange needs a blue-based toner from a salon.
• It will not remove hard-water build-up. In Cyprus, mineral deposits can dull blonde and make it look brassy; see our guide to stopping blonde hair going brassy.
• It does not include a purple shampoo. For stronger toning add Bain Ultra-Violet.

Good to know

On very light or white hair, a long leave-on of the mask can leave a faint lilac cast, so start with 3 minutes. The shampoo cleanses with sodium laureth sulfate and all four products contain fragrance. The full ingredient list of each product is below.
