Gloss Absolu High-Shine Anti-Frizz Glaze Styling Cream
A leave-in styling cream for medium to thick hair designed to smooth frizz, add shine, and support a glossy styled finish.
A stronger anti-frizz styling choice for people with medium to thick hair who want smoother, glossier finished styling than a light spray can provide.
For people with thick or coarse hair, light anti-frizz sprays often just don't cut it. The Gloss Absolu Glaze Styling Cream gives the same high-shine system approach a cream format that actually delivers enough substance for thicker hair types — while staying within the Kérastase quality and fragrance experience they expect.
On damp hair after washing — apply through mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying for a smooth, frizz-free blowout. Follow with Glaze Drops on dry hair for extra shine.
People with medium to thick, frizzy, or coarse hair who want a pre-blow-dry product that actually makes a difference in how smooth and glossy the final result looks. Ideal for anyone who has found anti-frizz sprays insufficient.
On fine hair — the cream is richer than fine hair typically needs and will weigh it down significantly. Fine hair types should use the Anti-Frizz Spray instead.
If hair feels heavy or stiff, use less product, apply only to the bottom half of the hair, and do a clarifying wash. The cream should not feel like it is coating the hair — it should blend and absorb during blow-drying.

Key Ingredients
Camellia oil penetrates the hair cuticle and skin surface with a silky, lightweight texture that adds shine, smooths the cuticle, and provides emollient nourishment without the heaviness of oils like coconut or castor. Its high oleic acid content (80–86%) allows deep penetration into dry hair fibres, while its polyphenol content adds mild antioxidant support. On skin, it softens and conditions without a greasy after-feel. In hair products, it is particularly prized for the mirror-like gloss effect it creates on the cuticle.
Attracts and retains moisture, soothes irritated skin, supports barrier repair, and improves skin texture and softness.
Creates a smooth, soft skin feel, fills in surface texture for a refined look, provides a protective barrier, and prevents moisture loss.
Fragrance has no skincare function — it is added purely for sensory appeal and brand experience. Some fragrant ingredients (like linalool, limonene, and eugenol) are known sensitizers that can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals over repeated exposure.

About This Product
The Kérastase Gloss Absolu High-Shine Anti-Frizz Glaze Styling Cream is the cream-format styling step in the Gloss Absolu system — designed for medium to thick hair that needs more anti-frizz substance and styling hold than a spray can deliver, but without the weight of a traditional styling cream or pomade. The "glaze" name ties it to the broader glass-hair trend, and the cream format delivers a richer emollient layer than spray or drops. Applied to damp hair before blow-drying, it supports a smoother, shinier blowout with significant frizz reduction. On thicker hair types that find light sprays insufficient, this cream bridges the gap between lightweight anti-frizz spray and heavy styling butter.
