Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Reflection Bain Chromatique Riche is the richer sulphate-free colour-protecting shampoo for thick, dry, or coarse colour-treated hair. Part of the Kérastase Reflection range. The same colour-shielding technology as Bain Chromatique in a creamier formula that adds extra nourishment.

Best for: thick, dry, or coarse colour-treated or highlighted hair; coloured hair that finds the standard Bain Chromatique not rich enough; hard-water areas where minerals dull colour; the cleansing step in a Reflection routine paired with Fondant or Masque Chromatique.
Less suited to: fine or normal colour-treated hair that a rich cleanse could weigh down (use the lighter Reflection Bain Chromatique); blonde hair specifically needing brass control (use Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet); hair primarily needing repair (use a Résistance shampoo).

Key actives:
- Système Capture Advanced — captures and locks pigments in the fibre and creates an anti-deposit effect to protect colour
- Chelators Complex (Sodium Citrate, Yuzu & Lychee extracts) — neutralise hard-water minerals that cause colour to fade
- Zinc Gluconate — helps lock colour deep in the fibre via ionic bonds
- Vitamin E and UV filters — protect against oxidative and UV-driven fade
- Rice Bran & Linseed Oils — richly nourish and smooth the fibre for light-reflecting shine

Benefits:
- Protects and prolongs colour for up to 40 days
- Richer, creamier cleanse for thick, dry, or coarse coloured hair
- Shields against hard water, UV, and oxidative fade
- Sulphate-free; leaves hair soft, supple, and glossy
- Prepares hair for the Fondant or Masque Chromatique

How to use: Apply a small amount to wet hair, massage into a lather, and rinse. Repeat if needed. Follow with Kérastase Fondant or Masque Chromatique.

Format: 250ml sulphate-free shampoo (rich formula).
