It's summer in New York City, and the last thing I want to do is sit inside. You can catch me on my back deck, in the park, at the beach, or by the hotel pool—anywhere I can enjoy warm temps and a cool beverage. All this outdoor time puts stress on my brunette strands, though. And I know my blonde sisters have even more to think about when it comes to hair health in this hot season.
That's why I tell the blondes in my life to check out hair products from the Kérastase Blond Absolu collection. Its formulas contain salon-quality ingredients that prevent blonde hair from losing its strength and help it shine through summer's hot, hazy days. Below, discover the Blond Absolu hair products I recommend starting with.
Prevent Summer Hair Damage
Being outside is the best, but it does a number on blonde hair. The sun's UV rays, the pool's chlorine, and the beach's salt water have a greater impact on light-colored hair compared to other shades. But a little bit of Kérastase can keep those aggressors in check—like the Blond Absolu Blonde Guard Hydrating Wonder Shield Leave-In Spray ($50), a protective treatment that also hydrates and softens. Pro tip: Keep a travel size in your purse and reapply as you would with sunscreen.
Maintain Your Shine
Using Blond Absolu regularly will help your hair shine brightly and radiate health from the inside out because it's specially formulated for blonde hair. Swap out whatever's in your shower right now for the hyaluronic acid–infused Blond Absolu Bain Lumiere Shampoo ($46) and the Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner ($50), and see how your hair colorist reacts next time you sit in their chair.
All Blondes Are Welcome
Whether your hair color comes from birth or a bottle, has subtle highlights or is bleached all over, or your texture is straight or curly, Kérastase has a product to help every blonde achieve their desired results. Beyond shampoo and conditioner, the Blond Absolu Masque Ultra Violet Purple Hair Mask ($68) helps keep brassiness at bay. The in-shower mask works its magic in just five minutes.
