A day-two mist that wakes up curls without weighing them down
Kérastase Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu is a second-day refreshing spray for curly, very curly and coily hair, sold here in the 190ml size. It rehydrates and redefines curls between washes, bringing back bounce, volume and a natural pattern without a heavy feel. The formula combines Kérastase's patented ceramide, which reinforces the hair and helps it hold on to moisture, with manuka honey from New Zealand, rich in micronutrients. Kérastase reports +73% nutrition and +63% softness, with frizz reduced and a 24-hour humidity shield.
How it works
A fine, light mist that you spray on dry hair. It dampens the curls just enough to reshape them with your fingers, then dries without crunch or stickiness. It has the signature Curl Manifesto scent.
Who it suits
- Curly, very curly and coily hair
- Curls that flatten or frizz by day two or three
- Hair that reacts to humidity
- Anyone stretching the time between wash days
Worth knowing before you buy: It is designed for curls and coils; on straight or loosely wavy hair it will do little. The formula contains silicones (amodimethicone), coconut oil and fragrance.
How long one bottle lasts
Used on refresh days two or three times a week, the 190ml bottle lasts around two to three months, depending on hair length and density.
