I tend to be a creature of habit when it comes to my hair. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it! But a few years ago, my salon started carrying a new-to-me brand: Davines. My stylist encouraged me to try their popular detangling product when I was post-haircut shopping one afternoon, and let me tell you—I was instantly hooked.

My love for that OI Milk Detangler quickly turned into a love for two, then three, then eventually Davines products. I’ve been using Davines for over 3 years now, so I wanted to share an honest review of everything I’ve tried so far.

My Davines Hair Product Review Overall

The sparknotes version of my review is this: if hair is your thing and you want high-quality, effective products that actually do what they promise when it comes to your tresses, Davines is worth every penny.

The natural luster, movement, and softness that Davines gives my hair (I started noticing these decrease after I turned 30) is unlike any other brand I’ve tried. Not to mention, all the products smell floral and lovely, and the natural ingredient lists are a nice plus.

Now, these are luxury hair products, so the price points will not make sense for everyone. But a little goes a long way (my favorites last 3-12 months, depending on the product).

For context, I’d been using Oribe exclusively (you can read my Oribe reviews for more info) prior to introducing Davines. Over time, Davines has become the clear frontrunner in my routine.

If you’re interested in a specific product, I’ve included individual Davines product reviews below!

My Davines Reviews by Product

OI Shampoo

This is the perfect staple everyday shampoo for healthy hair. I feel like my hair aged 10 years backwards with this one! It removes residue without stripping and adds silkiness that doesn’t weigh it down. The clean feel gives volume at the root and encourages movement. A great shampoo to try if you’re new to the line.

NouNou Shampoo

NouNou is for the ladies (and gents) whose hair needs more love in the hydration department. While I don’t use this daily (the moisture can add more weight than I prefer), this is a good option if you have processed or dry hair.

OI Conditioner

I have probably tried over 50 conditioners in my lifetime, and this is my favorite conditioner ever, ever, ever. I use it daily and it always travels with me. Just look at the reviews! It’s lightweight yet moisturizing and keeps my thick, color-treated hair feeling soft, bouncy, and smooth. Smells amazing without a heavy perfume vibe. I just cannot say enough good things about OI Conditioner—it’s one of my hair secrets!

OI All in One Milk

I cannot survive without a leave-in detangler and the OI Milk is a staple detangler in my routine. A little goes a long way, so the product lasts quite awhile. A greasy finish can be an issue with most detanglers, but this one adds softness without any heaviness. The bottle is a nice size for travel as well.

OI Hair Oil

An effective frizz fighter that adds beautiful shine! The smell is my favorite of the entire line. I use this when I’m air drying or when I’m wearing a slicked-back bun (tames strays). Unlike the OI Milk, the OI Hair Oil will add a slight sheen. A big bonus is that it lasts forever. One bottle lasts me 8-12 months.

OI Hair Butter

The Hair Butter is my once-a-week deep conditioning mask for overall hair health. I like to put this in my hair on Sundays after I take what I call “the shower” (I cleanse, exfoliate, lotion, tan, and do all my beauty things while I relax and read a book or do laundry). I wrap my hair up with the butter in this special towel—it can be washed out after 1-2 hours or left on overnight.

Where to Buy Davines

I like to buy Davines on Amazon or at Sephora. It’s also sold at at Target and Nordstrom.

About Davines

Davines is an Italian hair care brand (pronounced “dah-VEE-ness”) that offers a range of hair products, from shampoos to conditioners and hair treatments, and was founded in Parma, Italy in 1983.

The brand has become known for its focus on sustainability and commitment to natural ingredients. Many Davines hair products are free of sulfates, parabens, and artificial colors, but it depends on the specific product. Most are formulated with essential oils and plant extracts.

Their product lines are named for the need they address (MoMo for moisture, NouNou for nourishing, etc.). Whether you have curly hair, damaged hair with breakage, frizzy hair, dry hair, flat hair, or colored hair, it’s likely there’s a Davines line that fits your needs.

Are Davines Products Good?

Generally speaking, yes. I fell in love with Davines almost immediately, and according to my hairstylist, they’re well-regarded by hair care professionals. Of course, your experience with hair care will vary from mine based on your hair type and personal preferences! But to me, Davines hair products stand out for four reasons:

• Effectiveness for a variety of issues
• Scents (pleasant, not overwhelming)
• Luxurious textures (but leaves no residue)
• Natural ingredients

If you’ve tried Davines since I shared it, you’ll have to let me know what you think! I was an Oribe loyalist for such a long time (and those products are still such solid choices in the hair care world), but the Davines line has been just what I needed for keeping my color-treated hair healthy in my 30s.
