At Vivo Online Store, we’ve pulled together some of the best gloss haircare heroes for shine, smoothness, and frizz control. So if you are staring at a few different ranges and thinking wait… which one is actually right for my hair? - this guide is for you.

We’re breaking down what each range is good at, the key ingredients inside, what sort of hair it suits, and why someone might choose it over another. Nice and simple. No hair science degree required.

💡Can’t wait to choose? Skip ahead to the guide.

If your hair feels fluffy, dry, rough or just not as shiny as you want it to be, you are definitely not the only one. Frizz and dullness are super common, and usually it comes down to the outside layer of your hair not sitting nice and smooth.

When the hair cuticle is smooth and sealed, it reflects light better - that is what gives hair that glossy, healthy-looking finish. But when hair is dry, damaged or reacting to humidity, that outer layer gets rougher. Instead of looking sleek and shiny, hair can start looking puffy, flat or a bit tired.

Things like colouring, heat styling, dryness, weather and just everyday life can all play a part. Hair can lose moisture, get a bit stressed and stop behaving the way you want it to. That is where gloss-focused haircare comes in. The right products help smooth things down, add moisture back in, fight frizz, and make your hair look softer, shinier and way more polished.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite gloss haircare ranges available at Vivo Online Store. Each one brings something a little different to the table, so whether your hair is dry, dull, colour-treated, fluffy in humidity or just in need of a little glow-up, there is a range here to match. Think of this as your easy guide to finding your glossy-hair bestie.

If you love a bit of luxury and want your haircare to feel extra special, Kérastase Gloss Absolu is such a gorgeous option. Kérastase has been around since 1964, and it is one of those salon brands that feels instantly elevated. It is globally loved for a reason - it looks luxe, feels luxe and the results are all about smooth, glossy, expensive-looking hair.

Gloss Absolu is made for hair that needs more shine, softness, movement and frizz control. It is not about making your hair feel heavy or overloaded. It is more about that glossy, polished finish where your hair still feels soft and touchable.

Key Ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid - helps pull moisture into the hair so it feels softer and more hydrated.
• Glycolic Acid - helps smooth the surface of the hair so it reflects more light.
• Wild Rose in Oil - helps add softness and that lovely luminous finish.

One of the best things about this range is that it really works best as a full routine, which is exactly why the Gloss Absolu bundles make so much sense. The range can give up to 4 days of anti-frizz and 4 days of glossy hair, so if you are someone who wants the whole glossy-hair ritual, this one is such a beautiful choice.

Best for:
Hair that feels frizzy, dull, lacking shine or just needs a more luxurious routine.

Why you’ll love it:

• Feels super premium and salon-luxe
• Helps smooth frizz while boosting shine and softness
• Best results come from using the full routine together

Disclaimer: Brand performance claims are based on Kérastase consumer or instrumental tests. Results may vary depending on hair type, routines and conditions.

If your hair is coloured and you want that fresh salon shine to last longer, Redken Acidic Color Gloss is a really solid choice. This range is all about helping coloured hair look shinier, smoother and more vibrant again - especially when it starts looking a little flat a few washes later.

The range includes Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-In, 1 Minute Mask and Naked Gloss Hair Oil, so you can go simple or build a full routine depending on what your hair needs.

Key Ingredients:

• Citric Acid - helps support an acidic pH and smooth the cuticle for extra shine.

• Amino Acids - help improve the feel and strength of the hair.

• Vitamin E - helps protect colour from looking faded or dull.

This is one of those ranges that makes a lot of sense if you colour your hair and want it to stay looking glossy and fresh in between appointments. It is especially good if your colour tends to lose its sparkle quickly or your hair starts feeling a bit rough after colouring.

Best for:
Coloured hair that is looking dull, faded or less shiny than you would like.

Why you’ll love it:

• Great for keeping salon colour looking glossy for longer

• Helps smooth the hair for that sleek finish

• Easy to build into a full shine routine

If you want something fun, glossy and a bit more budget-friendly, Matrix Glow Mania is a really good one to know about. It has that bright, cheerful packaging that instantly feels a bit more playful, and it is a great choice if you want nice results without going straight to the most premium price point.

Glow Mania is made for dull, colour-treated hair that needs a bit of life put back into it.

Key Ingredients:

• Glycolic Acid - helps smooth the surface of the hair for more shine.

• Rosehip Oil - helps nourish the hair and boost softness.

• Sulphate-Free Cleansing Base - helps cleanse more gently without stripping colour too harshly.

This range is a good pick if your hair is looking a bit flat, your colour needs brightening up or you just want something shiny, fun and easy to use. It feels fresh, cute and straightforward - which honestly a lot of people want.

Best for:
Dull, colour-treated hair, especially if you want a more affordable shine-boosting option.

Why you’ll love it:

• Great if you want gloss on more of a budget

• Bright, fun packaging that feels fresh and modern

• Helps hair feel softer and look more vibrant

If your hair is coloured and you really want to hang onto that rich, glossy, just-done look, L’Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color Spectrum is such a smart option. This range is all about helping colour stay vibrant, shiny and fresh-looking for longer.

It is especially great for red, copper, vivid and fashion shades, because those colours can fade or lose richness quite fast. So if you have invested in a bold colour, this is the sort of range that helps you look after it properly.

Key Ingredients:

• Citric Acid - helps support smoother, shinier-looking hair.

• Ferulic Acid - helps the formula work to keep colour looking fresher.

• 5% Alpha-Silane - in the Glass Shine Serum, this helps create that sleek, glossy, glass-hair finish.

The serum is a real highlight here if you love a shiny finish. L’Oréal Professionnel says it gives instant glass shine and anti-frizz for up to 72 hours, so if smooth, glossy, polished hair is the goal, this range definitely deserves a spot on your shortlist.

Best for:
Coloured hair, especially reds, coppers, vivid colours and higher-maintenance shades.

Why you’ll love it:

• Great for keeping colour rich and glossy for longer

• Especially good for red and vivid shades

• The serum is amazing for that sleek, shiny finish

Disclaimer: L’Oréal Professionnel performance claims are based on instrumental tests using the full Vitamino Color Spectrum system. Results may vary depending on hair type, colour history and routine.

If you love the idea of shine that starts with healthy, hydrated hair, Pureology Hydrate is such a lovely option. This brand is known for being 100% vegan and sulphate-free, and it is made specifically with colour-treated hair in mind.

What makes Pureology a bit different is that it is not only about surface shine. It is more about giving your hair the moisture and care it needs, so it naturally looks softer, healthier, and shinier. It is very much a “healthy hair first, glow follows” kind of vibe.

Hydrate is best for medium to thick, dry, colour-treated hair, while Hydrate Sheer is the lighter option for fine to medium, dry, colour-treated hair.

Key Ingredients:

• Jojoba - helps soften and moisturise the hair.

• Green Tea - offers antioxidant support.

• Sage - helps support a healthy scalp and hair environment.

• Shea Butter - in Hydrate, helps give richer nourishment.

• Wheat Protein - in Hydrate Sheer, helps care for the hair without weighing it down.

Then you have Glow Catcher Oil which is your glossy finishing step. It adds shine, softness and that silky feel without making hair greasy or heavy. This is such a good option if you want your shine to come from hair that feels genuinely healthier.

Best for:
Dry, colour-treated hair that needs moisture first and shine second.
Choose Hydrate for medium to thick hair and Hydrate Sheer for fine to medium hair.

Why you’ll love it:

• Great if your hair is dry and needs hydration as well as shine

• Vegan, sulphate-free formulas for colour-treated hair

• Easy to choose based on whether your hair likes richer or lighter moisture

Disclaimer: Pureology performance claims are based on brand testing. Results may vary depending on hair type, routine and styling habits.
