Davines is a hair care brand that has recently fallen once again into my radar. I first came across
this range a few years ago in the US and so was happy to see it pop up at the Daniel Galvin
salon in London.
Founded in 1983 in Parma, Italy by the Bollati Family,
Davines started out life as a research laboratory, formulating high-end hair
care products for cosmetic companies worldwide. With so much knowledge at their
fingertips, the family decided to create their own professional ethical and
sustainable hair care brand, Davines. The brand now has a cult following, and deservedly so.
Here are four of my hero products.
Davines Nounou Nourishing IlluminatingShampoo PH 5.0,
£13.35
A gentle sodium-chloride free shampoo with a fresh scent that helps to prolong the life of coloured hair. Lovely and creamy, it contains chestnut milk, glycerine and rice proteins which condition the hair and amodimethicone to make the hair smooth and shiny. A pleasure to use.

Davines Nounou Conditioner Nourishing Illuminating Cream
PH 4.2, £14.80
Helps to stop your colour from fading while leaving locks with volume and feeling well- moisturised This rich conditioner with sweet almond butter revitalises dyed hair.
Davines Nounou Pak Nourishing Repairing Mask, £16.95
A real treat for hair that resembles straw rather than silk. It is thick, but it did not weigh my tresses down. They felt soft and smooth after use and were easy to comb through. Contains nourishing goodies such as cherry and jojoba oils and olive butter.

Davines Oil Non Oil, £14.50
This light paraben-free fluid works as if it were a hair gel. It tackles frizz and flyaways even on the most unruly mop, yet works well on fine hair. I have to admit it feels rather sticky to begin with, but once dry it softly holds the hair and gives it definition.
