Key Ingredients
  • Sakura Extract — helps protect color and nourishes the hair fiber, promoting lasting vibrancy. This ingredient is essential for anyone looking to maintain their hair's color.

  • Ceramide Complex — reinforces the hair’s protective barrier, smoothing cuticles and restoring resilience. This complex is vital for anyone with color-treated hair.

How to Use
  • Step 1 — Wet hair thoroughly to activate the shampoo.
  • Step 2 — Apply a small amount to the scalp and lengths, emulsify into a rich lather.
  • Step 3 — Massage gently for 30–60 seconds, then rinse completely.
  • Step 4 — For enhanced color protection, follow with Chroma Absolu Conditioner or Masque and style as usual.

From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Chroma Absolu Bain Chroma Respect 500ml is the larger salon-size version of Kérastase's flagship colour-protecting shampoo for fine to medium colour-treated hair. Part of the Kérastase Chroma Absolu range. Same lightweight, sulfate-free, gentle-cleansing formula as the 250ml — in a salon-economy 500ml bottle.

Best for: fine to medium colour-treated hair (brunette, red, balayage, fashion shades, multi-tonal); customers who go through colour-care shampoo regularly and want better value per ml; the cleansing step in the Chroma Absolu routine paired with Fondant Cica Chroma, Masque Chroma Filler, and Sérum Chroma Thermique; salon professionals and serious at-home colour-care routines.
Less suited to: medium to thick colour-treated hair (use Chroma Absolu Bain Riche Chroma Respect instead — richer formula, same range, also in 250ml or 500ml); blonde, bleached, or highlighted hair where tone correction is priority (use Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet); damaged hair where structural repair is the priority (use Resistance Bain Force Architecte or Première Bain Décalcifiant); first-time Chroma Absolu users (start with the 250ml).

Key actives: (identical to 250ml)
- Hyaluronic Acid — ultra-concentrated; hydrates and seals the cuticle to lock in colour molecules
- Tartaric Acid (AHA) — fruit acid that gently refines the cuticle for colour-shine
- Amino Acid complex — strengthens the colour-sensitised fibre
- Glycerin — humectant for ongoing hydration
- Sulfate-free, silicone-light formula — protects colour from fading

Benefits:
- Up to 74% more shine, 86% stronger hair, and 86% smoother fibre with the full Chroma Absolu system (Kérastase instrumental test)
- Preserves colour vibrancy and tone
- Sulfate-free — gentle on colour-treated lengths
- Lightweight — won't weigh fine-to-medium hair down
- Better per-ml value than the 250ml format

How to use: Apply to wet hair, lather, work through scalp and lengths. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Fondant Cica Chroma conditioner, then Sérum Chroma Thermique before heat-styling. Use Masque Chroma Filler 1–2 times per week for deep colour-care.

Format: 500ml shampoo (salon-economy size).
