KÉRASTASE Chroma Respect Color-Protecting Shampoo - 16.9 fl oz, Hydrating & Sulfate-Free for Fine to Medium Color-Treated Hair

KÉRASTASE Chroma Respect Shampoo is a gentle, hydrating wash formulated to protect and preserve color-treated, sensitized hair while restoring moisture and shine.

This salon-grade shampoo targets color-treated and damage-prone hair by combining replenishing humectants with strengthening amino technology. It’s designed for fine to medium hair textures and formulated without sulfates, silicones, or parabens to minimize stripping and buildup. The blend helps reduce porosity, improve combability, and maintain color intensity over time, making it a daily-friendly option for people who want softer, smoother, and more luminous colored hair.

How does this shampoo help keep color vibrant?

The formula minimizes pigment loss by cleansing without harsh surfactants and by sealing the hair surface to reduce color leaching. Ingredients that lock in moisture also help hair cuticles lie flatter, which preserves reflected light and vibrancy.

• Gentle cleansing agents that avoid aggressive stripping
• Hyaluronic acid and glycerin to maintain hydration and reduce pigment fade
• Amino acid complex to support strand integrity and cuticle cohesion

Will it hydrate damaged, sensitized hair without weighing it down?

Yes — the shampoo balances lightweight hydration with reparative actives, so fine to medium hair gains moisture and softness without limpness. The moisture network targets internal fiber hydration while maintaining natural movement and volume.

• Hyaluronic acid and glycerin attract and retain water in the fiber
• Centella Asiatica-derived actives soothe and support weakened strands
• Silicone-free formulation keeps hair airy and natural-feeling

Is this safe for everyday use and compatible with salon-treated hair?

The sulfate- and paraben-free formulation makes it suitable for regular use and for hair that has been chemically treated in salons. It’s engineered to be color-friendly and to complement in-salon color care routines without undoing professional results.

• Free from sulfates, silicones, and parabens
• Formulated to support salon color longevity up to weeks between color appointments
• Appropriate for repeated use on sensitized and delicate hair fibers

How should I use it for the best results?

Wet hair thoroughly, apply a small amount, lather, then rinse and repeat if desired. Follow with a compatible KÉRASTASE conditioner or mask to lock in moisture and protect color for longer-lasting shine.

• Use a coin-size amount for short hair, increase as needed for length
• Massage gently focusing on mid-lengths and ends; avoid over-scrubbing the scalp
• Pair with Chroma Absolu conditioners or treatments for optimal color care

Who is this for: This shampoo is aimed at anyone with salon-colored, highlighted, or chemically treated hair that feels dry, porous, or fragile—especially those with fine to medium texture who want lightweight hydration and measurable color preservation. It’s ideal for people seeking a high-performance, sulfate-free option to protect color and restore softness while keeping hair manageable and luminous.
