Kérastase Chroma Absolu Fondant Cica Chroma is a colour-protecting conditioner for dry, colour-treated hair. It nourishes dryness and smooths the cuticle while shielding colour from fade — leaving hair silky, radiant and easy to detangle.

Benefits
  • Colour shielded — protects vibrancy from fade and daily stressors.
  • Deep nourishment — restores softness to dry, colour-treated lengths.
  • Silky, glossy finish — smooths the cuticle for radiant shine.
  • Easy detangling — improves slip without weighing hair down.
How to use
  1. After shampooing, apply from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the scalp.
  2. Leave 1–3 minutes.
  3. Rinse thoroughly.

From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Chroma Absolu Fondant Cica Chroma is a strengthening colour-protecting conditioner for sensitised or damaged colour-treated hair. Part of the Kérastase Chroma Absolu range — the brand's dedicated colour-care line. Awarded Cosmopolitan Reader's Choice Beauty Award for Best Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair 2023. Daily-use conditioner that strengthens, smooths, and preserves colour vibrancy.

Best for: colour-treated hair of any texture seeking daily colour protection plus strengthening; sensitised or damaged hair from frequent colour processing; the daily conditioning step in a Chroma Absolu routine paired with Bain Chroma Respect or Bain Riche Chroma Respect, with Masque Chroma Filler weekly for deeper treatment.
Less suited to: very thick coarse hair needing richer nourishment (use Masque Chroma Filler as the primary conditioner for thicker textures); colour-treated blonde hair seeking toning (use Blond Absolu Cicaflash); severely damaged hair primarily needing protein reconstruction (use Resistance Ciment Anti-Usure or Fondant Extentioniste); non-coloured hair (use a range matched to the underlying concern).

Key actives:
- Amino Acid Complex — reinforces weak hair and rebuilds the fibre from the inside out
- Centella Asiatica Extract — soothing and recovery properties; calms colour-sensitised fibres
- Lactic Acid — anti-porosity action, gently seals the hair surface
- Conditioning emollients — detangle and smooth without weighing hair down

Benefits:
- 86% stronger hair (Kérastase instrumental test vs non-conditioning shampoo)
- 86% smoother hair (vs untreated hair)
- Preserves vibrant hair colour with continued use
- Reinforces and rebuilds weak, sensitised colour-treated hair
- Lightweight finish suitable for daily use, even on finer textures

How to use: After cleansing with Bain Chroma Respect or Bain Riche Chroma Respect, apply a hazelnut-sized amount to mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots for lightweight volume. Massage for better penetration. Leave on for 2–3 minutes. Emulsify and rinse thoroughly. Use after every wash. For deeper repair, alternate weekly with Masque Chroma Filler.

Format: 200ml conditioner.
