FAQs

How often should I use the Kérastase Chroma Absolu Soin Acid Chroma Gloss?

For best results and sustained color vibrancy, it is recommended to use the gloss 1-2 times per week, or as needed, as part of your regular hair care routine after shampooing.

Is this product suitable for all hair types, even if not color-treated?

While it is specifically formulated and optimized for 'All Types of Colour-Treated Hair' to address concerns like porosity and color fade, individuals with non-color-treated hair seeking enhanced shine and softness may still benefit. However, its primary benefits are geared towards colored hair.

Do I need to use a conditioner after rinsing out the gloss?

The Soin Acid Chroma Gloss provides significant hydration and softness. While a conditioner may not always be necessary, you can follow with a Kérastase Chroma Absolu conditioner or mask if your hair requires additional detangling or a deeper conditioning treatment.

Will this product change my hair color?

No, this gloss is not a coloring product. It is designed to enhance the vibrancy, shine, and longevity of your existing color, not to alter its shade. It works to seal the cuticle and reduce porosity, which helps maintain your color's intensity.

What makes the fluid transform into a cream?

The transformation from a transparent fluid to a rich white cream upon contact with water is a key feature of its 'acidic' formula. This interaction signifies the activation of the ingredients that work to seal the hair cuticle and deliver the product's benefits, such as reduced porosity and increased shine.

Does this product protect against heat damage?

While the gloss strengthens hair and reduces porosity, which can indirectly help hair be more resilient, it is not primarily a heat protectant. For comprehensive heat protection, it's recommended to use a dedicated heat protectant spray before styling with hot tools.

Troubleshooting

Hair feels sticky or weighed down after use.

This often occurs due to using too much product or not rinsing thoroughly enough. Try reducing the amount of gloss applied in your next use and ensure you rinse your hair with ample water until it feels clean and no residue is present.

Not seeing desired shine or softness.

Ensure your hair is adequately damp (not dripping wet) when applying to allow proper emulsification. Also, confirm you are distributing the product evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Consistent use over several washes typically yields the best results.

Color is still fading quickly.

While the gloss significantly helps with color retention, ensure you are also using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for color-treated hair. Environmental factors like sun exposure and heat styling can also contribute to fading, so consider using UV protectants and heat protectant sprays.

Hair feels dry or brittle after application.

This is uncommon, as the product is designed for hydration. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly. If the issue persists, your hair might require a more intensive hydrating mask or a different type of treatment to complement the gloss, or consider consulting a hair professional.

Product transformation to cream is inconsistent.

The transformation relies on contact with water. Ensure your hair is wet enough and that you are either rubbing it between your hands or directly applying it to wet hair where it can interact with moisture. Water quality can sometimes play a minor role, but typically, moisture is the key factor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Follow with Conditioner/Treatment (Optional): If desired, follow with a Kérastase Chroma Absolu conditioner or mask.

  • Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly closed after each use to maintain product efficacy.

  • Keep out of reach of children.
