Is this shampoo good for fine hair?

It is a light oil-infused formula, but some fine-haired users find it leaves hair limp. Fine hair may do better with a smaller amount or a volumizing shampoo.

Does it work on color-treated hair?

Yes. It is gentle enough for color-treated and chemically processed hair and adds shine without stripping.

Do I need the Elixir Ultime oil too?

No, but they are designed to work together. The shampoo cleanses and preps; the oil adds extra gloss and smoothness.

How does it compare with other Kérastase shampoos?

It focuses on shine and softness. Nutritive targets dry hair repair, and Discipline targets frizz and smoothness.

Is the fragrance strong?

Yes, it has the Elixir Ultime signature scent, which lingers after washing. Some users find it too strong.

Our take on the Kerastase Elixir Ultime Sublimating Oil Infused Shampoo Le Bain 8.5 oz

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Le Bain is an oil-infused shampoo from the brand's premium Elixir Ultime line, built around the marula, camellia, argan and pracaxi oil blend the range is known for. It cleanses while leaving hair soft and glossy rather than stripped, and the light texture is meant to avoid the weighed-down feel heavy oil shampoos can leave. It suits people with dry, dull or color-treated hair who want shine and softness from a daily wash. Against drugstore oil shampoos it is a salon-tier formula with a stronger fragrance and a richer finish; against Kérastase's own Discipline or Nutritive shampoos it leans toward gloss and smoothness over repair or volume.
