Gamme Chroma Absolu

Give your hair some light

Want to give your hair a boost? Opt for a balayage or highlights.

For a more pronounced result, you’ll want to go for highlights, which will be more visible than a balayage because the highlights are wider. They will add light and shine to your hair. Depending on the color and intensity you choose, you will obtain a more or less natural result.

However, if you want a much more subtle change and a very natural result, we advise you to choose a balayage. Indeed, with this partial coloring technique, we prefer to choose a color that is closer to your natural color in order to have an elegant result.

To properly maintain highlights, it is recommended to use a shampoo and a nourishing mask for colored hair to keep the shine and light of the color. For blondes, Kérastase has a specific range for the maintenance of highlights and bleaching: Blond Absolu. For brunettes, the brand new Kérastase Chroma Absolu range is a must! You should also come in for touch-ups every two or three months so that the demarcations with your natural color are not too visible. A balayage requires less maintenance since the root is not touched.

Don’t hesitate to take advantage of our new 30% off promotion on highlights and balayage from February 7 to 19, 2022 in our Olivier Dachkin hair salons.

Homemade mask to overcome winter

In winter, we know that our hair becomes fragile more quickly. Indeed, it is often dry and electric. And like our skin, they tend to dry out more quickly. We will suggest here two natural masks to make at home. But before applying a mask, it is important to identify your hair type. In winter, we tend to suggest nourishing masks. However, we have also thought of proposing a purifying mask for those who have an oily scalp.

Moisturizing mask for brown hair

For dry hair and especially for brunettes you will need:

  • 1/2 avocado
  • 5 squares of melted organic dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Mix everything together, apply to your hair by massaging and leave on for 15 minutes. Then move on to shampooing. You can repeat this 1x per week.

Moisturizing mask for blonde hair

For blond and dry hair, we prefer honey, which will also lighten your color slightly. You will need:

  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 egg yolk

Apply this generously, massage and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse and shampoo. This mask can also be repeated once a week.

Purifying mask for oily hair

For oily hair, we suggest a puryfing mask based on green clay. To do this, you will have to mix green clay and cider vinegar until you get a smooth and homogeneous paste. Apply the mask to your scalp this time and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then rinse and shampoo. This mask can be applied 1x per week.

Tips for wavys

The wavy remains a trend all year round

Wether it’s simple waves or well-defined curls, it will suit all hair lengths.

To achieve a wavy, get a curling iron and divide your hair in two. A lower part and an upper part. Take strands that are netiher too thick nor too thin and wrap them around the iron. Hold the tip of your strand in your hand and count a few seconds, then release it. You can repeat this on all your strands or only on a few depnding on the result you want to obtain. Repeat this action also on the top part. Once finished, wait a few minutes for your hair to cool before relaxing your curls. Don’t hesitate to apply a coat of hairspray to make the wavys hold well.

If your hair is too sensitive, you can also opt for a more natural technique. It will be a question of making braids on wet hair before going to sleep.

The plunging bob

The plunging bob continues to be in fashion in 2022.

It’s chic, low maintenance and will allow us to create shape and volume. The advantage; it is one of the cuts that can go to all types of hair. On straight hair, the cut will be clean while on curly hair, it can give a nice gradient that will mix into the mass. As for the length, you can adopt a long bob as well as a short bob!
