Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Thick, colored Asian hair goes dry while its tone fades; a rich color-protect shampoo holds tone and restores moisture so dense hair stays soft, where a lighter color wash leaves it rough.

Best for
Thick, dry, or coarse color-treated Asian hair wanting color protection plus moisture.
Avoid if
Skip if your hair is fine and oil-prone — it may feel too rich.
Why we recommend it
Chroma Absolu in the Bain Riche is Kerastase's richer color-protecting shampoo — for thick, colored Asian hair that needs moisture as much as it needs its tone held. Asian hair takes heavy processing to hold cool color, and that leaves dense hair dry; this wash cleans gently, protects the tone, and restores softness so processed hair does not finish rough or frizzy. The Riche version is the one for coarse or dry hair; a lighter Chroma wash suits finer types. Massage it into the scalp and rinse through the lengths, following with the matching conditioner. It protects color and adds moisture rather than clarifying or volumizing, so fine, oily hair may find it too rich.
