Is this shampoo worth it over a drugstore purple shampoo?

It conditions more than most drugstore purple shampoos and is gentler on bleached hair. The toning is softer, so pick it for maintenance rather than rescuing heavy brassiness.

How often should I use it?

Use it in place of your regular shampoo as often as needed, or alternate with a hydrating shampoo if your hair feels dry. Leaving it on a few minutes before rinsing deepens the toning.

Does it work on brown or gray hair?

It is made for blonde, bleached and highlighted hair. It can cool brassy tones in light brown or gray hair, but results depend on how porous and light the hair is.

What is in the formula?

Hyaluronic acid for hydration and edelweiss flower extract, alongside violet pigments that neutralize yellow tones.

Will it dry out my hair?

It is more conditioning than many toning shampoos, but some users find daily use drying. Pair it with a mask or conditioner if your hair is porous or damaged.

Our take on the Kerastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet 8.5 oz

Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet is a purple toning shampoo for blonde, bleached and highlighted hair. It pairs violet pigments that neutralize yellow and brassy tones with hyaluronic acid and edelweiss flower extract to cleanse and hydrate. It suits blondes who want cooler tones and shine between salon visits. Against drugstore purple shampoos it is gentler and more conditioning, but it tones more softly than strong pigment masks and costs far more per wash.
