Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze is the intensive hydra-smoothing treatment for thick, frizzy hair. Its rich, creamy texture floods the fibre with nourishment and smooths the cuticle for soft, supple, glossy hair that detangles with ease — without ever weighing it down.

Proven Results
  • Up to 67% instant frizz reduction*
  • Up to 60% shinier hair instantly*
  • Up to 33% surface damage reduction in one use*
  • Up to 4 days anti-frizz, bouncy, glossy hair

*Instrumental testing after application of Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze.

Why It Works

Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates, Glycolic Acid resurfaces the cuticle for shine, and Wild Rose in Oil nourishes and seals — improving suppleness and detangling while leaving thick, frizzy hair smooth and glossy.

Who It's For

Thick, frizzy hair needing intensive nourishment and smoothing — the weekly treatment step in the Gloss Absolu routine.

How to Use

After cleansing with Bain Crème Hydra-Glaze, apply to damp hair from mid-lengths to ends. Leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use weekly in place of your conditioner.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Kérastase Gloss Absolu Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze is an ultra-smoothing high-shine hair mask for medium to thick hair prone to frizz. Part of the Kérastase Gloss Absolu Crème sub-routine. Rich, smooth, creamy texture that delivers deep hydration and intense frizz control without weighing thicker textures down.

Best for: medium to thick frizz-prone hair that needs weekly intensive treatment; coarse or unruly hair that wants smoothness, shine, and movement; the deep-treatment step in the Gloss Absolu Crème sub-routine after Bain Crème Hydra-Glaze, before Frizz-Glaze Cream and Glaze Drops; thick hair that finds Fondant Insta Glaze too light.
Less suited to: fine to medium frizz-prone hair (use Gloss Absolu Fondant Insta Glaze — lighter conditioner format from the same range); damaged hair primarily needing structural repair (use Première Masque Filler Réparateur or Resistance Masque Force Architecte); dry, dehydrated thick hair (use Nutritive Masquintense Riche); blonde hair where colour care is priority (use Blond Absolu Masque Ultra-Violet); curly hair where curl-definition is priority (use Curl Manifesto Masque Beurre Haute Nutrition).

Key actives:
- Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — ultra-concentrated; deeply hydrates and plumps the fibre
- Glycolic Acid (AHA) — gentle fruit-acid exfoliant; refines the cuticle for enhanced shine and smoothness
- Wild Rose in Oil (Rosa Canina Flower Extract) — nourishing botanical responsibly sourced from France
- Cetearyl Alcohol + Behentrimonium Chloride — cationic conditioning agents that detangle thick hair
- Amodimethicone — conditioning silicone that smooths and adds slip

Benefits:
- 60% shinier hair instantly after one use (Kérastase instrumental test on Masque Crème alone)
- 33% surface damage reduction in one use
- 67% instant frizz reduction
- 4 days anti-frizz, bouncy, glossy hair with the full Crème system (Bain Crème + Masque Crème + Frizz-Glaze Cream)
- Deeply nourishes thick layers without weighing them down
- Improves suppleness and detangling — hair glides through a comb

How to use: After washing with Bain Crème Hydra-Glaze, apply a chestnut-sized amount of Masque Crème Hydra-Glaze to washed and towel-dried hair. Massage through mid-lengths and ends. Leave on for 5–10 minutes (or longer for deeper hydration). Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Frizz-Glaze Cream on damp hair, then Glaze Drops on dry hair.

Format: 200ml hair mask.
