Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière is a hydrating shampoo for blonde and highlighted hair. With hyaluronic acid and edelweiss extract, it cleanses gently while flooding lightened strands with moisture — for soft, luminous blonde that stays cool and bright between toning washes.

Benefits
  • Deep hydration — hyaluronic acid softens and adds bounce to dry blonde hair.
  • Radiant shine — boosts blonde luminosity for a salon-fresh glow.
  • Cool-tone care — helps maintain cool tones and limit brassiness over time.
  • Gentle cleanse — washes without stripping, so it's safe for regular use.
How to use
  1. Apply to wet hair and lather softly through the scalp and lengths.
  2. Massage gently, then rinse. Repeat if needed.
  3. Follow with Cicaflash conditioner or Masque Ultra-Violet to lock in moisture.
Who it's for

Best for natural or colour-treated blonde hair — ash, platinum or beige — that needs hydration and shine. See the blonde hair care guide, how to get rid of brassy hair, or the full Kérastase range.

From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière is a daily hydrating illuminating shampoo for blonde, lightened, highlighted, or naturally grey hair. Part of the Kérastase Blond Absolu range. Cleanses and brightens without violet pigment — this is the day-to-day blonde cleanser, not a toning shampoo.

Best for: lightened, bleached, highlighted, or naturally grey/white hair that needs daily gentle cleansing and hydration; blondes seeking shine and softness between salon visits; the cleansing step in a complete blonde-care routine paired with Cicaflash conditioner or Cicaextreme masque.
Less suited to: blonde hair currently needing brassiness or yellow-tone correction (use Bain Ultra-Violet purple shampoo); hair severely damaged from bleach needing intensive repair (begin with Cicaextreme masque alongside this cleanser); brunette or red colour-treated hair (use Chroma Absolu range); non-coloured hair primarily seeking general nourishment (use Kérastase Nutritive).

Key actives:
- Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — ultra-concentrated, fills and heals fibre wounds from within, deeply hydrates and strengthens the hair fibre
- Edelweiss Flower extract (Leontopodium Alpinum) — antioxidant-rich, protects hair from daily damage, softens sensitised lengths
- Mallow Flower extract (Malva Sylvestris) — supports cuticle softness and shine
- Gentle cleansing base — removes pollution, excess oil, and build-up without stripping moisture

Benefits:
- Cleanses blonde and lightened hair daily without drying or dulling
- Deeply hydrates with hyaluronic acid
- Strengthens the hair fibre and helps prevent breakage
- Illuminates and reveals natural blonde radiance
- When paired with Cicaflash conditioner: up to 8x shinier and up to 99% stronger hair (Kérastase instrumental test)

How to use: Apply to wet hair, massage to lather, rinse thoroughly. Use daily on non-toning wash days; alternate with Bain Ultra-Violet purple shampoo when brassiness needs neutralising. Follow with Cicaflash conditioner for the complete routine.

Format: 250ml shampoo. Also available in 500ml refillable size.
