Frizzy, colour-treated hair needs a mask that addresses both concerns simultaneously — not a repair treatment that ignores frizz, or a smoothing mask that ignores colour. Pureology Smooth Gloss Treatment Mask is the conditioning anchor of the Smooth Gloss system: a luxurious, creamy rinse-out mask built around the brand's Silkmorphose™ technology and patented Antifade Complex®, delivering 8x smoother hair, glossy shine, and deep conditioning in 3–5 minutes. Frizz-prone. Colour-treated. Sorted.

Smooth Gloss Treatment Mask is built on a dual smoothing and colour protection system — two distinct ingredient complexes that address frizz and colour fade through different mechanisms.

Quaternium-87 is Pureology's Silkmorphose™ technology — the formula's hero active, inspired by the protein fibers found in silk. Quaternium-87 is a quaternary conditioning polymer specifically engineered to mimic the smoothing properties of silk protein at the hair surface. It deposits a fine, oriented conditioning film on the cuticle that envelops each strand in a protective veil, smoothing the surface irregularities that scatter light and cause frizz, and aligning the cuticle scales for a unified, reflective finish. This is the mechanism behind both the frizz-shielding and the glossy shine outcomes — the same film that tames frizz also creates the mirror-like surface that produces the +50% glossier shine result.

Polyquaternium-67 is a silk-derived cationic conditioning polymer that reinforces the Silkmorphose™ film. Polyquaternium-67 is derived from silk and provides a complementary conditioning deposit with strong anti-static properties — reducing the static charge that causes frizzy hair to expand and separate, while delivering additional silky slip and combability. Together, Quaternium-87 and Polyquaternium-67 create the Smooth Gloss system's characteristic "silk veil" conditioning effect: hair that feels smooth to the touch and behaves smoothly in humidity.

Behentrimonium Chloride is the primary cationic conditioning agent — depositing at damaged cuticle points for targeted slip, detangling, and cuticle-smoothing. Cetearyl Alcohol and Cetyl Esters form the rich, creamy emollient conditioning base. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a lightweight hydrocarbon emollient that provides shine enhancement and surface-smoothing without the heaviness of heavier oils. Hydroxyethylcellulose builds the formula's creamy texture and contributes a lightweight film-forming effect during processing.

The amino acid complex — Glycine, Serine, Alanine — deposits free amino acids at the hair surface during the treatment, reinforcing the hair's natural protein structure at the sites of greatest damage. Biotin supports hair health and structural integrity at the fibre level.

Pureology's Antifade Complex® is the formula's colour protection system — a patented complex that includes Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract and Ethylhexyl Salicylate (a UV filter). Together they absorb UV radiation and neutralise the free radicals that drive photo-oxidative colour fade, extending the vibrancy of colour-treated hair between appointments. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides additional antioxidant reinforcement. Citric Acid seals the cuticle at rinse-out, locking in the conditioning complex.

The fragrance is an evocative blend of fresh, crisp, salty notes layered with the warm depth of vanilla and sandalwood — described by Pureology as capturing the "comforting caress of magic hour" after a day of sun and sea.

When used as the complete Smooth Gloss system (Shampoo + Mask + Silkmorphose™ Spray):

• 8x smoother hair — vs. non-conditioning shampoo
• +50% glossier shine — vs. unwashed hair
• 90% humidity protection — vs. non-conditioning shampoo

100% vegan. Sulfate-free. Color-safe.

Metro Vancouver note: Coastal humidity is the most reliable driver of frizz rebound on colour-treated hair in Metro Vancouver — atmospheric moisture enters the porous, chemically treated cuticle and disrupts any smoothing treatment's results within hours. The Silkmorphose™ protective veil is specifically engineered to resist that humidity uptake. For maximum performance in Vancouver's climate, use the complete Smooth Gloss system: Shampoo + Mask + Silkmorphose™ Spray.*

Who It's For Frizz-prone, colour-treated hair of all types, densities, and textures — Pureology confirms it works for fine hair too, using a light amount to maintain volume while achieving a smooth, glossy finish. Use weekly or as needed in place of conditioner for a deeper conditioning treatment. Works on all curl patterns for frizz-prone colour-treated curly hair where extra conditioning is needed alongside smoothing.
