Kérastase introduces Gloss Absolu, a premium haircare collection created especially for long hair that struggles with frizz, oiliness, or a lack of shine. Powered by advanced skincare ingredients and high-performance haircare technology, Gloss Absolu delivers immediate transformation: softer, smoother, and visibly shinier hair—without the weight.
Research shows that more than 40% of young people experience an oily scalp shortly after washing, while 64% of individuals with long hair regularly battle persistent frizz, particularly in humid or rainy conditions. At the same time, nearly a third of people around the world are tired of dealing with flat, lifeless hair. Gloss Absolu is designed to meet those exact needs.
The Science of Skincare, Now for Hair
Gloss Absolu is powered by iconic skincare actives that deliver exceptional results. Hyaluronic acid, a well-known hydrating molecule, helps the hair retain moisture and adds bounce and resilience by holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Glycolic acid, a natural fruit acid with exfoliating properties, penetrates deep into the hair cuticle to clarify and brighten the fiber. Wild rose oil adds a sensorial layer to the experience—nourishing the hair while enveloping it in a soft, feminine fragrance.
A Luxurious, Signature Fragrance
The fragrance of Gloss Absolu was created by renowned French perfumers Loïc Bisceglie and Fabrice Pellegrin. It blends sparkling citrus with delicate florals and creamy vanilla, creating a scent that feels modern, refined, and elegantly sensual. This luxurious fragrance lingers gently in the hair and enhances the overall experience of the routine—turning everyday care into a beauty ritual.
Who Is Gloss Absolu For?
- People needing heat protection and long-lasting smoothness
- Long hair prone to frizz, dryness, or dullness
- Anyone struggling with oily roots after washing
- Hair that lacks bounce, shine, or manageability
A Complete 4-Step Routine for Radiant, Resilient Hair
STEP 1: Bain Hydra-Glaze Shampoo – This hydra-illuminating formula gently cleanses long, frizz-prone hair while delivering a noticeable 69% boost in softness from the very first wash. It removes excess sebum and stubborn product buildup with ease and leaves the hair fiber sparkling clean. Thanks to its hydrating power, it reinforces the hair cuticle and gives strands a radiant, glossy finish that lasts up to 100 hours.
STEP 2: Insta Glaze Conditioner – This shine-boosting conditioner immediately increases shine by 61% and adds 67% more volume to the hair. It deeply hydrates and plumps each strand for a fuller, more voluminous look. At the same time, it transforms hair texture into a soft, frizz-free finish and makes detangling noticeably easier. It also enhances the hair’s ability to reflect light, making it visibly more luminous.
STEP 3: Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk – For long-lasting smoothness and protection, the Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk is a key player. This all-in-one leave-in spray softens the hair by 63% upon application and maintains frizz control for up to four days. It detangles effortlessly, hydrates the fiber, and smooths the hair cuticle for a sleek, high-gloss finish. The formula helps to tame frizzy or unruly hair while offering protection against both heat styling and humidity.
STEP 4: Glaze Drops – These lightweight drops can double the hair’s shine while increasing hydration levels by up to 87%. Within seconds, hair feels up to 80% softer and more moisturized. The formula is ultra-light and invisible on the hair, never leaving behind any greasy residue, yet providing a polished, frizz-free finish that lasts all day.

Our Opinion
Step into a citrus-scented oasis. The fragrance is bold, fresh, and unforgettable—lingering in your hair for days and wrapping you in zesty citrus notes. But be warned: it’s a scent you need to love, because it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
When you apply the Bain Hydra-Glaze Shampoo, it has a light consistency—it lathers, but not excessively. After rinsing, your scalp feels remarkably clean and refreshed.
We followed up with the Insta Glaze Conditioner, and our hair instantly felt more hydrated. After rinsing it out, detangling was noticeably easier—our hair felt smooth, soft, and far more manageable. That softness deepened even further with the nourishing touch of the Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk leave-in conditioner.
Once out of the shower and after applying the leave-in, frizz transformed into definition. Sleek styles look healthy and glossy, while curls come to life with strength and bounce.
As for the hair oil—it’s anything but sticky or greasy. It’s lightweight, residue-free and adds a glossy finish. But beyond that, it simply does what it’s meant to do.
