Blond Absolu — Complete Guide
The Kérastase range dedicated to blond, bleached, highlighted, grey, or white hair. Four objectives: hydrate the fiber, repair damage from bleaching, protect against breakage and external aggressors, and neutralize unwanted brassy tones.
About the Range
Blond Absolu aims for four main objectives: hydrating the fiber, repairing damage related to bleaching, protecting against breakage, and neutralizing unwanted brassy tones. The formulas are primarily based on hyaluronic acid, edelweiss flower, vitamins C and E in some protective treatments, and, for purple treatments, ultra-violet neutralizers.
Key Ingredients of the Range
| Ingredient | Role |
|---|---|
| Hyaluronic Acid | Hydrates, plumps the fiber, and helps strengthen fragile blonde hair. In Blonde Guard, two molecular weights work inside and outside the fiber to help maintain hydration, softness, and suppleness. |
| Edelweiss Flower | Rich in antioxidants, it protects, softens, and helps repair the fiber. |
| Vitamins C and E | Antioxidants that help preserve the health, strength, shine, and hydration of blonde hair, particularly in Blonde Guard. |
| Ultra-Violet Neutralizers | Corrective pigments that help neutralize yellow and brassy tones. |
The two golden rules for bleached hair:
1. Bleached hair needs hydration — a layer of hydrating and nourishing active ingredients on the fiber's cuticle to prevent surface damage.
2. Bleached hair needs repair, protection, and neutralization — to strengthen the fiber, prevent breakage, and neutralize unwanted brassy tones.

Why no hyaluronic acid in this formula?
Hyaluronic acid is not included in Cicaextreme Oil due to its hydrophilic properties (it can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water), which makes it incompatible with an oil-based formula. However, the formula does contain a duo of gliding polymers, which provide a protective layer: they help brushes glide through weakened hair and protect against breakage.

Instrumental test protocol details are not provided in the source file.
Key Ingredients
Hyaluronic Acid: deeply hydrates and creates a protective barrier to retain moisture in the fiber. Two molecular weights work together: the lower one penetrates the hair fiber, while the higher one improves softness, flexibility and provides a plumping effect.
Vitamins C and E: antioxidants that form a protective shield to preserve shine and hydration. Vitamin C helps maintain the integrity of hair fibers and makes them more resistant to mechanical aggressions. Vitamin E helps protect hair from oxidative damage.
Science and Technology
Blonde Guard addresses the main factors that weaken blonde hair:
- Heat: Styling tools can weaken the cuticle and cortex, leading to protein loss, breakage and visible surface damage.
- UV Rays: UV exposure can rapidly degrade hair proteins and lipids, leading to discoloration, loss of shine, increased porosity and fragility.
- Chlorine: Pool chlorine acts as a powerful oxidizing agent, which can cause blonde hair to yellow, lose shine, and become more porous and difficult to detangle.
- Salt Water: It can penetrate the fiber, increase surface porosity, and cause dehydration, leaving hair rough and dull.
- Dehydration: All of these factors can lead to dryness, roughness, and loss of shine. Daily use of a protective and hydrating leave-in treatment helps maintain healthy and luminous blonde hair.
The effectiveness of Blonde Guard is based on the combination of hyaluronic acids and vitamins C and E: hyaluronic acids help hydrate the fiber inside and out to keep hair more supple, softer and plumper; vitamins C and E act as antioxidants to help preserve strength, health and shine.
Directions for Use
- Apply to clean, towel-dried hair.
- Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends. In-salon, apply evenly strand by strand at the styling station.
- Do not rinse.
- Allow to air dry or blow-dry.
Professional tip: Use before any heat styling or exposure to sun, chlorine, or sea water. Blonde Guard is not recommended as a finishing touch on dry hair. After drying or blow-drying, a few drops of L'Huile Cicagloss can be applied to lengths and ends for a finishing touch of deep hydration and radiant shine.
