As the Official Haircare Sponsor of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), Kérastase brought award-inspired glamour to the red carpet. Behind the scenes, the brand helped talent achieve flawless looks with products designed to amplify iconic styles.
A standout from the lineup was the Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops, a red carpet essential that delivered glass-like brilliance without added weight. The lightweight formula offered intense gloss and nourishment, making it the ultimate at-home product for recreating TIFF-inspired hair looks.
Toronto hairstylist Nicole Pidherny of Pomme Salon shared her prep routine for maximum impact: a clarifying cleanse with Scrub Energesiant, conditioning with Gloss Absolu Insta Glaze Fondant, and styling with Gloss Absolu Anti-Frizz Glaze Milk and Mousse Bouffant. She recommended finishing with the Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum to ensure voluminous, soft, and radiant hair.
With Kérastase’s expertise backstage, this year’s TIFF red carpet featured memorable looks that can now be recreated at home.
