The Range Thick and Curly Hair Has Been Waiting For
If you have thick, wavy or curly hair, you’ll know that finding products that genuinely deliver – real shine, real frizz control, real nourishment – without weighing your hair down or leaving it feeling coated, can feel like a constant search. The Kérastase Gloss Absolu Crème range was created with exactly that in mind.
A beautifully considered extension of the beloved Gloss Absolu family, this three-step collection has been specifically formulated for Type 3–4 curls and thick hair – delivering that perfect balance of intense nourishment and powerful frizz control that thicker textures need to truly thrive. The result? Hair that’s smooth, defined, bouncy and absolutely radiant.
The Three Products – and What They Do
Gloss Absolu Crème
Bain Crème Hydra-Glaze
A sulfate-free, creamy shampoo that feels as luxurious as it sounds. Unlike traditional shampoos that can leave thick or curly hair feeling stripped, the Bain Crème gently cleanses the scalp and hair fibre while deeply hydrating from root to tip. Hair comes out of the shower easier to detangle, visibly smoother and already noticeably more radiant – and that’s before you’ve even reached for the mask.
Gloss Absolu Crème
Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze
This is the step that thick and curly hair types will come back for again and again. A rich, hydra-smoothing mask featuring new-generation fusionic silicone – an ingredient that nourishes deep into the hair layers while providing serious frizz control without any of the heaviness you might expect from a mask this rich. Hair glides through a comb, feels intensely soft and looks glossy in a way that lasts well beyond wash day.
Gloss Absolu Crème
Frizz-Glaze Cream
The finishing step – and one that genuinely earns its place in your routine. This is Kérastase’s first anti-frizz styling leave-in cream specifically designed for thick and frizzy hair, and it’s impressive. Applied before or during styling, it protects against frizz even in strong humidity and heat conditions, delivers up to four days of anti-frizz protection, and provides 2.5x more humidity resistance than going without. Blowouts last longer. Curls stay defined. And your hair feels so smooth you genuinely won’t stop touching it.
Mesmerizing Scent
One of the things that makes the Gloss Absolu Crème range feel really special is the fragrance. Crafted by French perfumers Loïc Bisceglie and Fabrice Pellegrin, it’s a genuinely beautiful scent – energising citrus, delicate florals and rich vanilla that together create something warm, luxurious and completely distinctive.
As the perfumers themselves describe it:
“We created a haute couture fragrance that will boost your confidence, thanks to an unexpected blend of exclusive citrus and a hyper-luxe floral signature.”
It makes washing your hair feel like a proper ritual. Which, honestly, it should.
What About Fine or Medium Hair?
If your hair sits on the finer or medium side, the original Gloss Absolu range – Bain Hydra-Glaze, Insta-Glaze Fondant and Glaze Milk – delivers the same incredible gloss and anti-humidity protection in lighter, more weightless formulas. And the Glaze Drops oil works beautifully across all hair types for a lightweight, luminous finish.
