What's Included?

L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Shampoo 300ml

A professional nourishing shampoo formulated specifically for dry, damaged and over-processed hair.

Infused with Gold Quinoa + Protein, it cleanses while nourishing and helping improve the appearance and feel of damaged hair. Hair is left softer, shinier and resurfaced, while maintaining a lightweight touch.

Important: Absolut Repair Shampoo is not sulfate-free. The current UK/EU formula contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). It also contains Dimethicone and Amodimethicone, so it is not silicone-free.

L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Resurfacing Golden Masque 250ml

An intensive professional mask with a distinctive lightweight cream-in-gel texture, developed to deeply care for damaged and dry hair without weighing it down.

Also infused with Gold Quinoa + Protein, the Golden Masque helps resurface damaged lengths while improving softness, smoothness and shine.

The Shampoo + Golden Masque combination delivers up to 7x more shine, making this duo especially attractive for damaged hair that has become dull as well as dry.

What Does the Absolut Repair Gold Duo Do?

Damaged hair often shows multiple signs at once: rough texture, dryness, dullness, tangling and reduced softness.

Absolut Repair is L'Oréal Professionnel's classic resurfacing and hydration range for damaged hair, infused with Gold Quinoa + Protein.

The two products work together:

Shampoo → Cleanses + Nourishes + Prepares

Golden Masque → Deeply Conditions + Resurfaces + Smooths + Boosts Shine

The result is a simple professional routine for bringing softness, smoothness and radiance back to damaged lengths without creating an unnecessarily heavy finish.

Who Is It For?

Ideal for:

• Dry and damaged hair
• Over-processed hair
• Color-treated hair experiencing damage
• Bleached or highlighted hair that feels dry and rough
• Hair damaged by frequent heat styling
• Dull hair lacking shine
• Rough or difficult-to-manage lengths
• Hair needing deeper conditioning without excessive weight
• Anyone wanting a professional Shampoo + Mask repair routine

Pair Me With

• L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair 10-in-1 Oil 90ml – lightweight leave-in treatment for nourishment, smoothness, detangling, shine and protection.
• L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Conditioner 200ml – lighter regular conditioning between Golden Masque treatments.

What's the Best Shampoo and Mask for Dry, Damaged Hair Without Weighing It Down?

If damaged hair needs nourishment and resurfacing but you dislike heavy masks that leave the lengths flat, the Golden Masque is particularly relevant.

L'Oréal describes it as a professional deep-resurfacing treatment that cares for dry, damaged hair without weighing it down. Its lighter golden cream-in-gel texture makes it a strong choice when you want intensive care while maintaining movement.

Combined with Absolut Repair Shampoo, the routine leaves hair softer, shinier and resurfaced with a lightweight touch.

Is Absolut Repair Gold Good for Bleached and Color-Damaged Hair?

Yes, when bleaching or coloring has left the hair dry, rough, dull or visibly damaged.

The Absolut Repair range is specifically positioned for damaged and over-processed hair, making it suitable when chemical processing has compromised the feel and appearance of the lengths.

However, customers with severely compromised hair that breaks easily, feels overly elastic or has significant structural damage may want to consider the more advanced Absolut Repair Molecular system, which uses Peptides Bonder + 5 Amino Acids and targets the hair's molecular structure.

Absolut Repair Golden Masque or Regular Absolut Repair Masque – Which Should I Choose?

Both belong to the same damaged-hair range, but the texture and positioning differ.

Golden Masque → lightweight cream-in-gel texture, resurfacing, softness and exceptional shine without weighing hair down.

Instant Resurfacing Masque → richer creamy treatment for damaged hair requiring more intensive conditioning.

Choose the Golden Masque when you want repair, smoothness and shine while keeping the hair feeling lighter.
