KÉRASTASE Gloss Absolu Shampoo Refill for Medium to Thick Hair, 16.9 fl oz — Sulfate-Free Hydration & Frizz Control

KÉRASTASE Gloss Absolu Refill Shampoo is a sulfate-free, cream cleanser that hydrates medium to thick hair while smoothing frizz and boosting glossy shine.

This refill-size shampoo (16.9 fl oz) is designed for textured, thicker hair types that need deep moisture without weight. Its rich, creamy formula targets frizz-prone cuticles and scalp impurities, using hyaluronic acid to bind moisture, glycolic acid to help surface renewal, and wild rose in oil for nourishing softness and a luxurious scent. The formula cleanses gently while enhancing the fiber’s ability to reflect light, making hair appear smoother and visibly shinier right after use.

How does this shampoo reduce frizz and increase shine?

The shampoo combines humectant and exfoliating actives to smooth cuticles and improve surface uniformity, which reduces frizz and helps hair reflect more light. It’s formulated without sulfates to preserve moisture and maintain hair softness.

• Hyaluronic acid attracts and locks in moisture for longer-lasting hydration.
• Glycolic acid gently enhances penetration and surface renewal for smoother strands.
• Sulfate-free cream texture cleanses without stripping natural oils, preserving shine.
• Wild rose in oil nourishes and softens hair for a silkier finish.

Will this shampoo weigh down medium to thick hair?

Formulated specifically for medium to thick textures, the creamy yet lightweight formula balances hydration with manageability so hair remains bouncy rather than heavy. It restores softness while preserving the natural body and movement of thicker hair types.

• Creamy lather that rinses clean to avoid buildup or limpness.
• Designed for thicker fibers to provide moisture without excess residue.
• Recommended as step one in the Gloss Absolu routine for optimal results.
• Scented with a refined floral-citrus blend to enhance the haircare ritual.

How should I use the refill shampoo for best results?

Use this shampoo as the initial cleansing step in your Gloss Absolu regimen. Apply to wet hair, work into a creamy lather focusing on the scalp, then rinse thoroughly and follow with Gloss Absolu Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze and Frizz Glaze Cream for added smoothness and long-lasting gloss.

• Wet hair thoroughly before applying a small amount to the scalp and lengths.
• Massage gently to lift impurities and distribute moisturizing actives.
• Rinse completely, then apply Gloss Absolu Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze for deep conditioning.
• Finish with Frizz Glaze Cream to lock in shine and control frizz for several days.

Is this product suitable for colored or chemically treated hair?

The gentle, sulfate-free composition makes it compatible with many color and chemical treatments, helping preserve moisture and reduce surface roughness that can dull color. For personalized guidance, check with your stylist if you have specific treatment concerns.

• Sulfate-free cleansing supports color retention and reduces aggressive stripping.
• Hydrating actives protect the fiber’s surface, aiding color vibrancy.
• Works as part of a salon-grade routine for enhanced glossy outcomes.
• Ideal for post-color maintenance when used with complementary Gloss Absolu products.

Who this is for: KÉRASTASE Gloss Absolu Refill Shampoo is intended for people with medium to thick hair that is frizz-prone, dry, or seeking a shinier, more polished appearance. It's a good fit for anyone who prefers sulfate-free formulas, wants a refillable option for sustainability, or follows a multi-step Gloss Absolu routine to maximize smoothness and long-lasting gloss. If your priority is intense hydration that won’t flatten texture and you value a refined fragrance experience, this refill shampoo supports those goals as the cleansing foundation of a targeted anti-frizz regime.
