The Innovative “Water-Light Drop Technology”
At the heart of “Gloss Absolu” is Kerastase’s unique “Water-Light Drop Technology.” This advanced system envelops the hair in a delicate, moisture-rich “thin glossy veil” through three distinct approaches, resulting in bouncy, manageable locks.
-
Voluminous Firmness: It deeply hydrates hair fibers, imparting a plump, firm feel from within.
-
Smooth Cuticles: The technology repairs surface irregularities, creating a mirror-like finish that reflects light evenly.
-
Thin Glossy Veil Coating: It coats the hair without adding excessive weight, providing a natural luster and protecting against external factors like dryness and heat.
Kerastase reports that a single use can double hair’s shine and maintain manageability for two days, though individual results may vary. This performance suggests a new standard for effortless, radiant hair.
