A color-safe, nourishing cleanse for sensitized color-treated hair

Kérastase Chroma Absolu Chroma Respect Shampoo Riche is a rich, nourishing cleansing experience designed for color-treated hair that’s been sensitized or is gently damaged.

This particular version, the Riche variant, targets medium to thick hair with a creamy, luxurious feel and a careful cleanse that removes buildup without heavy residue.
