The Kérastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acid Chroma Gloss is designed to be an intensive treatment for all types of color-treated hair. Its unique transparent fluid texture is a key aspect of its performance; upon contact with water, it transforms into a rich white cream. This transformation signifies the activation of its 'miracle formula.'
How it Works in Practice: When applied to wet, shampooed hair, the product works by deeply penetrating the hair fiber. Its acidic formula helps to rebalance the hair's pH, which is often elevated after coloring, thus sealing the cuticle. This action is crucial for several reasons:
Reduced Porosity: By sealing the cuticle, the hair's porosity is significantly decreased. This means the hair is less prone to losing color molecules and moisture, leading to longer-lasting, vibrant color and improved hydration.
Surface Transformation: The gloss effect comes from the product smoothing and transforming the hair's surface. This results in an incredibly soft texture and a highly reflective, brilliant shine.
Strengthening and Hydration: The formula delivers intense hydration, making hair 94% more hydrated and instantly softer. Simultaneously, it strengthens the hair by 96%, helping to prevent damage and breakage often associated with chemical treatments.
Real-World Application Example: Imagine you've just had your hair colored. After a few washes, you might notice your hair starting to feel rough, look dull, and your color begin to fade. By incorporating the Soin Acid Chroma Gloss into your routine, perhaps once or twice a week, you'll find that your hair retains its salon-fresh vibrancy for much longer. The gloss doesn't just sit on the surface; it actively works to improve the hair's internal structure and external appearance, leaving it feeling healthier, looking shinier, and holding its beautiful color much more effectively.
Compatibility: This product is formulated for All Types of Colour-Treated Hair. Whether your hair is fine, thick, curly, straight, or has received highlights, balayage, or a full color treatment, this gloss is designed to benefit it.
Application Instructions (Setup): For optimal results, follow these steps:
Prepare Hair: After shampooing with a suitable Kérastase Chroma Absolu shampoo, gently squeeze excess water from your hair. Your hair should be damp, not dripping wet.
Apply Product: Dispense a small amount of the Kérastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acid Chroma Gloss into your palm. The product is a transparent fluid. The amount needed will vary based on hair length and thickness, but start with a dime to quarter-sized amount.
Emulsify: Rub your hands together lightly to distribute the fluid. As you do, or upon application to wet hair, the fluid will instantly transform into a rich white cream. This indicates activation.
Distribute Evenly: Apply the cream from mid-lengths to ends, ensuring even coverage. Focus on areas that tend to lose color or shine more quickly.
Leave-In Time: Info needed: [Specific leave-in time in minutes, if applicable, typically 1-2 minutes for glosses. If not specified, leave blank or state to follow package directions.] Allow the product to work for the recommended time.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water until the water runs clear and no product residue remains. Ensure all traces are removed to prevent any sticky feeling.
Follow with Conditioner/Treatment (Optional): If desired, follow with a Kérastase Chroma Absolu conditioner or mask.
Storage and Care:
Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
