Kérastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil reviews from Adore Beauty customers:
A luxurious hair oil that instantly makes my hair feel smoother, softer and more polished without weighing it down.
I am someone who prefers having a few staple products in my collection at a time, and I really feel this one's worth it. Not only is this product refillable (cheaper when purchasing refills), Kerastase products are a cult classic and feel really luxurious to use. The oil itself makes my hair glossy and helps tame flyaways.

This product is one of the best products I've tried for my hair. I've sworn to have this in my vanity forever. The shine the softness the Thermal protection it provides his unmatched. Please try it !!! 100/10
I love this milk-it's my 3rd time purchasing it. It's best to apply on wet hair (about 10 sprays) and then brush it. It adds volume, softness and smells divine. I love it.
After using so many different popular and highly recommended products I decided to try Davines leave-in. NOTHING has made my hair as soft as this leave in does and it also makes your hair smell INCREDIBLE! I usually apply to damp hair and it's makes my hair so silky smooth. I'm on my 3rd bottle.
Kérastase Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk All-In-1 Spray, $81
One thing you're almost always guaranteed with Kérastase? A seriously good hair day.
The Kérastase Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk Spray is an all-in-one shine-boosting mist, primer and heat protectant designed to shield fragile strands before heat styling. Powered by a heat-activated anti-frizz milk, it wraps each strand in a lightweight protective veil to help defend against humidity while protecting hair from styling tools up to 230°C.
It also helps to detangle, minimise breakage during brushing and styling, and leaves hair feeling noticeably softer, silkier and easier to manage. The result? Glossy, smooth hair that looks like you've just stepped out of the salon.
Kérastase Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk All-In-1 Spray reviews from Adore Beauty customers:
My hairdresser told me to get this before drying my hair. I use it after towel-drying my hair to help protect it from the heat of drying. Well worth the money.
Makes my blowout so soft and long lasting.
I bought this, used it once, got compliments on my hair that day and immediately bought more. I have thick hair and so much frizz. I add some before blow drying and get a much better result. This is now a staple in my routine.
Perfectly suits my thick fluffy hair ! All gloss, no frizz.

I've purchased this multiple times over the years. The smell is just divine and leaves my hair so soft and glossy.
This is one of my favourite hair oils. It's not too heavy but too light either. I have quite thick frizzy hair and this tames it down beautifully without making it look oily. It also smells amazing.
I've reordered this so many times. It absorbs fast so it doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy. I've also get so many comments on the scent.

I only use the tiniest amount in my hair and get a beautiful shine. This little bottle is going to last me for ages.
This product is amazing! It smoothes out my usually bushy, thick, medium length hair. It doesn't make my hair feel oily and has a light coconut fragrance. I love it and will be making it part of my usual blow-dry routine.
We dare you to still have a bad hair day after this.
