Gloss Absolu High-Shine Anti-Frizz Mask
A richer anti-frizz hair mask for medium to thick hair designed to deliver shine, softness, and smoother texture.
A strong weekly treatment for people with medium to thick hair who want more gloss and less frizz than a standard conditioner can give.
The Gloss Absolu system is built around a visible, tangible promise: glass-like shine and anti-frizz results. The mask is the highest-concentration payoff product in the system — for people who have tried the conditioner and spray and want a bigger weekly result, the mask is the natural next purchase.
After shampooing on treatment wash days — replace the daily conditioner with this mask, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse. Follow with the Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Spray on damp hair.
People with medium to thick, frizzy, or coarse hair who want their weekly treatment to genuinely make a difference in shine and smoothness — not just feel conditioning, but visibly change how their hair looks post-blow-dry.
On fine hair — the richness of the formula is calibrated for medium to thick hair. Fine hair that uses a weekly mask at this concentration will typically come out flat, heavy, and lacking volume.
If hair feels heavy or coated after the mask, shorten the leave-on time, rinse more thoroughly, or switch back to the conditioner for weekly use.

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.
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 Mask is the weekly treatment step in the Gloss Absolu system — designed to sit between the conditioner (daily rinse-out) and the overnight serum (leave-in). Where the conditioner delivers a lighter everyday shine and smoothing layer, the mask's richer conditioning concentration means it can reach deeper into the hair fibre for a more substantial frizz-control and shine effect. Applied once or twice a week on medium to thick hair types, it delivers the same high-shine, anti-frizz goal as the full Gloss Absolu system but with more intensity. Fine hair should treat the conditioner as their primary weekly conditioning step — the mask's richer formula is likely to feel heavy on fine hair textures. For people with denser, frizz-prone hair who want a deeper weekly smoothing step, this mask is the highest-payoff product in the Gloss Absolu lineup.
