Kerastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumiere Shampoo 250 ml

I was gifted this Kerastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumiere Shampoo in exchange for my honest review. This shampoo smells amazing. It's very clean and fresh. It helped to eliminate those hideous brassy tones I get from highlighting my naturally dark colored hair to a much lighter platinum shade of blonde. It also helped my hair look and feel significantly more shiny and soft. I can't wait to purchase this shampoo and see the results after an extended period of using!

I am someone who has natural reddish blonde hair. I put a chamomile spray in to lighten it in the summer time. My hair is fine and relatively thin. The pros of this shampoo are that it smells nice, lathers well, and does leave hair soft. The cons is that it does feel drying while you're lathering up. I would recommend using it only occasionally, especially if your hair is damaged. I have relatively healthy hair and noticed some flyaways.Another thing that will likely be a con for most people is it apparently pulls your hair WARM. I'll start out by saying it was rainy outside when I took the before picture yesterday, with the black bra, and today it's sunny, so that may have been responsible for a bit of the temperature change, but otherwise same location and in ... MoreI am someone who has natural reddish blonde hair.

Giant difference, it would be personal preference whether the after is what you are looking for. It's also a bit spendy for the size.

Actually cleans my hair!

I have lots of straight, fine, bleached, EXTREMELY OILY hair. Shampoos which actually clean my scalp well enough leave my hair frazzled and brittle, only to become immediately limp with any conditioner. Shampoos that don’t trash my hair don’t clean at all. Most purple shampoos are like this. This shampoo actually removes all the gunk from my scalp, without leaving my hair super brittle! It doesn’t do anything for the color, as far as I can tell, but it’s certainly a great choice for my hair.

Hope in a shampoo bottle

Once upon a time, I had platinum blonde hair down to the middle of my back. After Olaplex destroyed my hair, I did a deep dive in search for something I could use on my (now shoulder length with involuntary bangs) blonde hair. I needed something that was going to hydrate what was left, and took a chance on this shampoo. After the first wash I was sold! My hair has never felt so amazing after shampooing, and the fragrance made me fall in love! I’ve now invested in the entire line and I’m kicking myself for only getting the little bottle of the shampoo and conditioner to start with. The sample ultraviolet mask made my blonde look brand new and I haven’t been back to the salon since my hair broke off in huge chunks in October 2022. Hopeful that I’ll feel confident ... MoreOnce upon a time, I had platinum blonde hair down to the middle of my back.

Leaves hair feeling greasy

Read all of the reviews and thought I'd give it a go despite the hefty price tag. First time I used it it made my hair stick together like it was greasy when using styling tools so thought I may have put too much product on. The following time I used considerably less (much less than I would with any other brand) and it still did the same thing. I have tried it a further two times just to be sure but the same thing is happening. Such a shame as I really wanted to love this brand. Do have to say though that it smells amazing.

Love this shampoo! Brightens my highlights!

I love this shampoo! My hairstylist suggested this shampoo when I had a toner that was a bit too dark and drab, so he used just a little bit of this shampoo at one of our appointments, but it helped brighten my highlights! It also adds shine and is hydrating, not drying. It has a lovely light floral scent to it also!This is a great shampoo, it’s great for adding shine or as a gentle clarifying shampoo. I found the Sephora sales representative was very helpful in deciding between this shampoo and another product.I have really been enjoying the Blond Absolu line! I recently purchased the oil, which I also love and I just ordered the nighttime serum. Really enjoy these products, they’re great for enhancing highlighted hair!

Perfect shampoo for blonde hair

I received this product as part of a free sample program. This is the perfect shampoo to keep my natural blonde hair looking healthy, shiny, strong and bright. This shampoo really hydrates and illuminates my hair and makes my hair feeling soft and manageable. Especially after the summer my hair can look dry and dull from being in the sun and in the pool. This shampoo gives my hair the boost that my hair needs. It makes my hair feel super soft and silky and it does not leave my hair feeling weighed down or greasy. My blonde hair looks brighter, has a nice shine, looks less dull and is free of brassiness. The shampoo is easy to use. It comes in a beautiful bottle and it lathers well. It is easy to rinse the shampoo out of my hair without leaving any residue. My hair ... MoreI received this product as part of a free sample program.

Shiny and hydrated hair

This is my first time trying any KERASTASE products and I am blown away!! I was gifted the Blond Absolu shampoo and rinse out from BZZAGENT in exchange for my honest review.First off the bottles are absolutely gorgeous I love the color and the shop bottle is such a different look! The scent is a very light flowery smell, it is very nice and the scent seems to linger. The shampoo lathers extremely well and upon rinsing your hair tends to feel very dry. I am undecided how I feel about that part because on one end I hate it feeling dry but it also feels very clean. Then once you apply the rinse out your hair automatically feels so hydrated! I normally have to use a detangler but I did not have to after using these products! My hair felt so soft and fluffy. I also ... MoreThis is my first time trying any KERASTASE products and I am blown away!!

I also noticed my hair to be a bit lighter than normal.The shampoo is supposed to "immensely hydrate fiber and removes impurities to illuminate hair."I absolutely loved these products and will be purchasing once I run out!!

it's just not worth it.

the amount of product you receive for the price is unjustifiable, especially given its lackluster performance. i will say that this shampoo lathers nicely and the fragrance is pleasant in that it isn't overbearing, but this shampoo's leaves something to be desired (something as in clean hair). i struggle with oil control so i don't know if this shampoo simply isn't meant for oily folks or if it just didn't personally work for my hair (bunch of fine/blonde/highlighted/curly hair), but it was returned. even if it did work, with how small the bottle is, i can't imagine spending this much on shampoo on the regular. i have to say i am disappointed due to how many people rave about kerastase's quality.

the best luxury hair ket

I bought this as an offer and it was my first time trying to brand after hearing so many great things about it. I have bleached hair which I try and keep healthy by investing in products. I loved every product in this kit, the shampoo you dont need much of as it lathers up great, the purple shampoo is good but not the best one Ive tried for colour maintenance and the mask and conditioner are the best ones I have used. The down side is the produce point if you wanted to use this for every wash (if you have long hair like me) it would be expensive so I tend to alternate between this and a cheaper brand and it helps keep my hair healthy. If I could afford to use this all the time then I would!
