I'm a Beauty Editor—Here's How I Get My Blonde to Stay Bright, Even After Summer Is Over
If you live on the East Coast, you might already be switching up your beauty routine for fall. As much as I love caramel lowlights and a brown lip, it's still very much summer here on the West Coast, so I'll be sticking with my beachy makeup and bright blonde highlights until further notice. To ensure my hair stays luminous, the Kérastase Blond Absolu Blonde Guard Wonder Shield Spray ($50) will continue to be the MVP of my blonde care routine. This multitasking spray shields my hair from seasonal aggressors, environmental factors, and heat-styling, so it's exactly what my bleached, sun-soaked tresses need after a summer full of beach days. I don't even want to imagine my blonde care routine without it. If you also want your blonde locks looking vibrant, hydrated, and luminous 24/7, keep scrolling to shop all the Kérastase essentials I recommend.
Hydrates and Strengthens Blonde Hair
Dehydration is one of the most overlooked saboteurs of blonde hair, so the Blond Absolu collection prioritizes deep hydration. The formulas are filled with nourishing ingredients that fortify your strands from within, and editor-loved hyaluronic acid is the star of the collection. There's a reason this ingredient is so popular: It continuously replenishes moisture deep within the strand to give you that salon-level glossiness and shine for up to two months after your appointment. The formula is also boosted with moisturizing edelweiss flower for extra hydrating and strengthening benefits.
Protects Blonde Hair
The Blond Absolu line is specifically formulated to create a continuous layer of protection so your hair can withstand an array of aggressors, including chlorine, salt water, UV rays, and heat-styling. Blond Absolu keeps your strands strong and resilient and your color looking freshly done for up to two months. (Though I often go much longer in between appointments.)
Brightens Blonde Hair
Blond Absolu's brightening complex is specifically designed to boost your blonde's vibrancy. It contains ultraviolet pigments and vitamins C and E, which work to brighten your color, neutralize brassiness, and boost luminosity. It's an easy addition to your routine that gives you that expensive, just-highlighted appearance in between salon visits. Try it, and you'll see why it outperforms every other blonde care product in your cabinet.
