Kerastase Gloss Absolu Illuminating Shampoo is a luxury high-shine shampoo that cleanses hair prone to frizz while leaving it glossy, bouncy, and smooth. This 250ml gel-textured formula from Kerastase is powered by hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and wild rose in oil to purify the scalp and smooth the hair cuticle, so strands reflect light for a mirror-like finish. Enriched with a citrus and floral fragrance, it turns everyday washing into a salon-style ritual.

Why Gloss Absolu Illuminating Shampoo Works

Frizz and dullness often come from a roughened hair cuticle that scatters light instead of reflecting it. This high-foaming formula gently clears away buildup, then hydrates and tightens the cuticle so the surface lies flat and smooth. The result is hair that looks shinier, feels softer, and stays glossy and frizz-free for longer, with the brand reporting up to four days of anti-frizz and shine in consumer testing. It is a gentle daily cleanser suitable for regular use.

Ideal For

This shampoo is ideal for anyone wanting salon-level shine and smoothness, especially hair that is prone to frizz, dullness, or roughness in humid and hot conditions. It suits those who love a luxury, fragranced wash and want glossy, manageable hair between salon visits. For a complete gloss routine, pair it with the matching Gloss Absolu conditioner and hair oil.

The Gloss Absolu formula blends shine-boosting acids with a nourishing oil:

• Hyaluronic Acid: attracts and holds moisture to plump and hydrate each strand

• Glycolic Acid: gently purifies the fibre surface to smooth the cuticle and enhance shine

• Wild Rose in Oil (Rosa Canina): nourishes and adds a soft, silky feel

• Luxury Fragrance: a haute-couture blend of bright citrus, a floral heart, and a warm vanilla and sandalwood base for a sensorial wash

• Gel-to-Foam Lather: a high-foaming texture that rinses clean without heaviness, leaving hair light and bouncy

1. Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly into the scalp and roots so the formula lathers and emulsifies.

2. Work the foam through the lengths, then rinse thoroughly with water.

3. Repeat if needed, then follow with the Gloss Absolu conditioner for extra smoothness and shine.

4. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs.
