I Moved and Got Rid of 95% of My Haircare Products, Except for These 6 Kérastase Blonde Absolu Essentials

Earlier this year, I moved from the bustling streets of New York City to the sunny beaches of Los Angeles. Although I've moved over ten times in my life, I've never done so across the country—or with as many beauty products as I currently have. Because I was flying, I had to pack every last item I owned into checked luggage, and I quickly realized it wasn't physically possible to bring boxes and boxes of beauty products. Instead, I had to be ruthless and gave away about 95% of my stash—even some of my beloved favorites. But the one item I refused to part with was the Kérastase Blond Absolu Blonde Guard Spray ($50).
My blonde hair is basically a personality trait, so I had to make sure it stayed fresh, vibrant, and luminous from coast to coast, and this spray ensured that. Keep reading to learn why I love this miracle spray so much and to shop more of my blonde-maintenance must-haves from Kérastase.
Protection Against UV Rays, Saltwater, and More
The main reason I love the Blonde Guard Spray ($50) and the Blonde Absolu collection as a whole is that it protects my hair. I recently learned there are a variety of factors that can contribute to how quickly your blonde fades, from pollution in NYC to UV rays and saltwater in L.A. I've been basking in the sunshine and swimming in the ocean all summer long, so I'm relying heavily on the Blonde Guard Spray ($50) to protect, illuminate, and nourish my hair. It's the ultimate all-in-one product for extra protection, whether I'm heading to the beach, taking a dip in the pool, or heat-styling my hair.
Premium Salon-Quality Ingredients
Kérastase's entire Blonde Absolu line features professionally trusted ingredients, including brightening vitamin C, hydrating vitamin E, softening hyaluronic acid, nourishing edelweiss flower, and illuminating ultraviolet pigments—all of which help you achieve salon-worthy results from home.
Effortless Maintenance
Kérastase Blond Absolu shampoos, conditioners, masks, serums, and more are specifically formulated to help you maintain the vibrancy, brightness, and softness of your lightened or highlighted hair. Let's be real: Between events, moves, and vacations, who has time to go to the salon every six weeks? Thankfully, Blonde Absolu products protect your color from fading, reduce brassiness, and nourish your hair. This collection is the golden ticket to keeping your blonde hair shiny, hydrated, and bright for up to two months between salon visits—and sometimes even longer.
