The Glass Hair Routine Beauty TikTokers Love
THE HYPE
If glossy, expensive-looking hair is the goal, the Kérastase Gloss Absolu range will help you achieve it. Designed for frizz-prone, dull or hard-to-manage hair, this four-step line smooths and hydrates, since it's enritched with skincare ingredients which work in synergy to transform hair from the very first wash.
Abbie Pinckney, a salon owner and hair educator who works with Kérastase, explains: “It plays into the glazed beauty trend we’re seeing everywhere – that clean, polished, expensive finish that works on every hair type. The range is designed to achieve that ultra-reflective, high-gloss finish, whether at home or in the salon – making it a must-have for those looking to enhance their hair’s natural radiance with minimal effort.”
THE SCIENCE
Think of this as skincare for your hair. Gloss Absolu achieves the perfect balance of shine and smoothness. It combats excess oil, dust and pollution that can make hair appear dull, while caring for it with a powerhouse of ingredients that plump, smooth, resurface and realign the hair fibre, achieving that mirror-like shine.
Powered by hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump, glycolic acid to smooth and seal in long-lasting shine – and wild rose oil for weightless nourishment – the range is built around Kérastase’s innovative Hydra-Glazing Technology. This technology helps create a smoother surface, locks out humidity and delivers a frizz-free finish.
Abbie Pinckney explains: “The innovative Hydra-Glazing Technology is what sets it apart – it not only delivers a glossy finish but also bouncy, smoother hair. Plus, the four-product range is incredibly easy to use, and when all the products are combined, they create the most stunning results.”
THE HERO PRODUCT
If you only buy one thing from the range, make it the Glaze Drops. The final step in the routine, they give that high-shine, soft-to-the-touch finish you usually only get at the salon. TikTok’s calling it a ‘glass hair essential’ and we get the hype.
THE STEP-BY-STEP ROUTINE
1. Hydra-Glaze Shampoo
A gel-to-foam shampoo that helps gently cleanse both the scalp and hair fibre. Infused with hyaluronic and glycolic acids, it smooths the cuticle and preps hair without weighing it down.
2. Insta-Glaze Conditioner
This silky, gloss-enhancing conditioner helps plump and soften the hair—think of it as a hydration boost. Its creamy texture helps detangle, smooth, and create a reflective, bouncy finish from root to tip.
3. Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk
This multi-tasking spray hydrates, eases blow-drying, tames frizz, and protects against heat and humidity. Apply to towel-dried hair before styling.
4. Glaze Drops
Powered by wild rose oil and a precise dropper for mess-free application, this ultra-lightweight oil helps adding a gloss finish and softness—without any greasy residue. Use on damp hair or smooth through dry strands to top up the shine.
THE EXPERT TIPS
According to Abbie Pinckney, there are a few extra things you can do to make the most of these products.
Turn It Into A Full Ritual…
“Start with Bain Hydra-Glaze and apply it with a scalp brush for a proper cleanse. Then, massage in Insta-Glaze conditioner to soften. I follow up with the Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk for the smoothest blow-dry and finish with Glaze Drops for that luxe, glassy finish.”
Consider Your Hair Type…
“You can use the Glaze Drops on both wet and dry strands – especially if you have thick hair – but thanks to the addition of glycolic acid, even those with finer hair can achieve mirror-like shine.”
Double Down…
“Mix a few drops of the Glaze Drops Oil into the Insta-Glaze conditioner for an extra boost of shine and for even more radiance – and visit your local Kérastase salon to experience the Kérastase Gloss Absolu ritual.”
THE REVIEWS
“I couldn’t believe the difference after just a few uses. No frizz and my hair feels so soft!”
“This is a really good hair oil. I used a few drops after every wash, and it took the frizz away from my roots – something I’ve always struggled with. It left my hair feeling shiny, smooth and not greasy.”
“First of all, the bottle is gorgeous. I applied the oil to the mid-lengths and ends of my hair while it was still damp, and it absorbed beautifully without leaving behind any residue. It tamed my curls, controlled frizz and flyaways, and the floral scent lasted all day.”
“I’m obsessed. The scent is incredible and didn’t leave my hair feeling greasy at all. My curls looked shinier, healthier and more defined – even days after washing. It also made detangling so much easier.”
