For those with thick, frizz-prone curls, humidity can feel like the ultimate betrayal. Enter Kérastase Gloss Absolu Crème: a new, high-performance ritual designed to deliver the rare balance of deep nutrition and elevated frizz control, without sacrificing that weightless, airy finish that makes hair look effortlessly expensive.
Created to unlock the full potential of thick and textured lengths, Gloss Absolu Crème enhances smoothness and shine while helping hair remain light, supple, and luminous, day after day.
The Hydra-Glaze Technology: A Trio of Targeted Actives
At the heart of the range is Hydra-Glaze Technology, powered by three standout ingredients chosen for their complementary effects on hydration, clarity, and sensorial appeal.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Naturally present in the body and renowned in skincare, hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture by binding up to 1000× its weight in water, supporting a plumper, more hydrated feel through the lengths
- Glycolic Acid: A naturally derived fruit acid known for exfoliating properties; it penetrates deeply into the cuticle for a powerful clarifying effect that helps enhance light reflection and shine
- Wild Rose-in-Oil: A sensorial, feminine signature, an “imagined love” in fragrance form that turns routine into ritual
