KÉRASTASE Chroma Absolu Chroma Respect Shampoo Riche — Color-Protecting Hydrating Shampoo for Medium to Thick Damaged Hair, 8.5 oz

KÉRASTASE Chroma Absolu Chroma Respect Shampoo Riche is a sulfate-free cleansing treatment designed to gently cleanse, nourish, and protect medium-to-thick color-treated hair while helping maintain color vibrancy and reduce frizz.

This rich shampoo is formulated for sensitized or weakened colored hair that needs both moisture and color protection without heaviness. It combines conditioning agents and targeted actives to support the hair fiber, reduce porosity, and improve shine. The result is softer, more manageable strands and hair color that looks fresher between salon visits.

How does this shampoo safeguard color while cleansing?

The formula avoids harsh sulfates and silicones that can strip dye, using gentler surfactants to lift dirt and oil while retaining natural and cosmetic pigments. Ingredients work to limit oxidation and slow early fading so color appears brighter for longer.

• Free from sulfates, silicones, and parabens to minimize color loss
• Gentle cleansing preserves the hair’s surface and pigment
• Active components help reduce oxidation that can dull color

What makes it nourishing for medium to thick, damaged color-treated hair?

This shampoo delivers deeper hydration and structural support tailored to thicker strands that often require more moisture and reinforcement. Conditioning molecules smooth the fiber and decrease porosity, helping to reduce frizz and tangling after washing.

• Lactic acid (an AHA) helps refine texture and decrease porosity
• Plant-derived Centella asiatica supports fiber strength and resilience
• Richer viscosity gives concentrated feel without weighing hair down

How should I use it for best results?

Use on wet hair, massaging until it foams, then rinse and repeat to ensure thorough cleansing of the lengths and ends. For a complete routine, follow with a Chroma Filler mask or Chroma Gloss treatment to seal and enhance the color finish.

• Wet hair thoroughly and apply a small amount to the scalp and lengths
• Massage gently, rinse, then shampoo a second time focusing on ends
• Finish with Chroma Filler mask or Chroma Gloss for added shine

Will this reduce frizz and increase shine?

Yes—targeted conditioning agents and the formula’s smoothing action help reduce surface irregularities that cause frizz, leaving hair more reflective and polished. Regular use helps hair recover a softer touch and more luminous appearance.

• Hydrating ingredients smooth the cuticle for less frizz
• Improved fiber integrity produces a shinier finish
• Designed for colored hair to avoid buildup that mutes shine

Who is this for: KÉRASTASE Chroma Respect Shampoo Riche is ideal for people with medium-to-thick hair that has been colored, highlighted, or otherwise chemically treated and now feels fragile, porous, or frizzy. It suits anyone seeking a salon-grade, sulfate-free wash that prioritizes color longevity, moisture, and smoother texture without heavy residue. Pair with other Chroma Absolu treatments for more intensive repair and longer-lasting color results.
