Best for: Blonde, bleached, lightened or highlighted hair that feels dry, sensitised or weakened and needs strengthening, hydration and detangling without a heavy finish.

What is Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner?

Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash is a strengthening and hydrating conditioner designed for all types of blonde, lightened and highlighted hair. It combines the intense nourishment of a hair mask with the lightweight feel of a conditioner, making it particularly suited to sensitised blonde hair that needs extra care without being weighed down.

Formulated with two molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamins C & E, Cicaflash helps nourish and strengthen the hair fibre while improving softness, smoothness and manageability. Its lightweight milky-gel texture melts into the hair, helping to detangle and leave blonde hair feeling hydrated, resilient and luminous.

Who is it best for?

Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner may suit you if your hair:

• is blonde, bleached, lightened or highlighted

• feels dry or sensitised following colouring or lightening

• is prone to breakage

• tangles easily after washing

• needs strengthening and nourishment

• lacks softness, smoothness or shine

• needs hydration without a heavy or weighed-down finish

• is fine or lightened and you find traditional hair masks too rich

• needs a conditioner suitable for frequent use

It can be used across all types of blonde hair and is particularly useful when chemical lightening has left the lengths and ends feeling more fragile or difficult to manage.

What problem does it solve?

Bleaching and lightening can leave the hair fibre more sensitised, making blonde hair feel dry, rough, tangled or more vulnerable to breakage.

Cicaflash is designed to provide the nourishing benefits associated with a mask while retaining the lightweight finish of a conditioner.

It helps:

Sensitised blonde hair → nourish and strengthen → improve softness, smoothness and resilience without weighing hair down.

This makes Cicaflash particularly useful for blonde hair that needs more than basic conditioning but doesn't necessarily need a rich mask every time it is washed.

Key ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid: Cicaflash contains two molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid. According to Kérastase, the lower molecular weight works within the hair fibre to help improve resistance, while the higher molecular weight enhances smoothness and provides a plumping effect. Together they provide benefits to both the inside and outside of the hair fibre.

Vitamins C & E: Vitamin C and Vitamin E work together within the formula to help brighten the hair fibre's cuticle and maintain the integrity of the hair fibre.

How to use

After shampooing, apply Kérastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner to towel-dried hair.

Massage through the lengths and ends, avoiding unnecessary application directly to the roots.

Leave on for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Cicaflash can be used after Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo for regular blonde maintenance or after Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo when neutralising unwanted yellow and brassy tones is required.

In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly with water.

Millies Expert Advice

If your blonde or highlighted hair needs more nourishment than a standard lightweight conditioner but you find rich masks too heavy, Cicaflash is an excellent middle ground. It gives sensitised blonde hair mask-like nourishment while maintaining the lightweight feel and movement of a conditioner.

For regular blonde maintenance, pair it with Blond Absolu Bain Lumière Shampoo. If unwanted yellow or brassy tones are your main concern, use it after Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo.

Focus Cicaflash through the mid-lengths and ends, particularly on the most lightened, dry or fragile areas of the hair.

Does Kérastase Cicaflash tone blonde hair?

Cicaflash has a lavender appearance and its current ingredient list includes the violet colourant CI 60730 / Ext. Violet 2.
