Kérastase Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu is a lightweight refreshing spray for curly and coily hair. It revives second-day curls with a quick burst of moisture and flexible, non-crunchy hold — bringing back bounce and definition between washes.

Benefits
  • Instant refresh — revives second-day curls with weightless moisture.
  • Flexible hold — keeps curls bouncy, never crunchy.
  • Redefined shape — re-sculpts the curl pattern for neater ringlets and waves.
  • Clean, airy finish — no residue or heaviness.
How to use
  1. Shake well and hold 20–30 cm from dry hair.
  2. Spritz lightly over mid-lengths and ends.
  3. Scrunch or tousle to redefine, then air-dry. Reapply through the day as needed.

From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu is a second-day curl refreshing and restyling spray for wavy, curly, and coily hair. Part of the Kérastase Curl Manifesto range. Lightweight milky mist that reactivates curls between washes without weighing them down or building up product.

Best for: refreshing curls on day 2 or day 3 between washes — reactivating shape, definition, and shine; humid climates where curls need a humidity shield on non-wash days; all curl types — wavy (2A–2C), curly (3A–3C), very curly (3A–3C tighter), and coily (4A–4C); the day-2 refresh step in a Curl Manifesto routine paired with Bain Hydratation Douceur, Crème de Jour, and Gélée Curl Contour.
Less suited to: straight hair (use a heat-protective spray from Discipline range); fresh-from-the-wash curls (use Crème de Jour Fondamentale as the primary leave-in cream); severely dry or damaged hair needing deeper nourishment (use Huile Sublime Repair for more intensive repair); colour-treated curls primarily needing colour care (use Chroma Absolu Sérum Thermique alongside Curl Manifesto).

Key actives:
- Patented Ceramide — fills cracks in the cuticle and reinforces weak curls
- Manuka Honey (New Zealand) — ultra-rich in micronutrients; restores shine
- Glycerin — humectant that reactivates curl pattern
- Lightweight milky mist base — no weight, no buildup
- Paraben-free, mineral-oil-free, SLS/SLES-free formula

Benefits:
- +74% more defined curls (Kérastase instrumental test vs non-conditioning shampoo)
- 24-hour frizz control with humidity shield (instrumental test)
- +73% more conditioned curls
- +63% more hydrated curls
- Reactivates curl pattern, moisture, and shine on day 2 or later
- Lightweight finish suitable for daily refresh between washes

How to use: Shake the bottle. Mist onto day-2 (or later) dry hair from 15–20 cm distance, focusing on lengths and ends. Scrunch curls gently with fingers to reactivate the pattern. Do not rinse. Air-dry to redefine.

Format: 190ml refreshing spray.
