Davines delivers salon-level results, according to reviews, with standouts like OI All in One Milk, NOUNOU mask, LOVE and MINU shampoos/conditioners leaving hair softer, shinier, and more manageable, and scents that range from fresh-clean to warm vanilla. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some lines feel heavy or stripping on fine hair, rebalancing and scalp control products underperform, packaging (tubs, pumps, leaky nozzles) frustrates, and a few users report irritation or disliking certain scents.

I tried a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask and was pleasantly surprised. The products smell great and are of high quality. They also, left my hair soft, conditioned and easy to manage, which most product do not do.

I have been using Davines products for 5+ years--they are the only hair products my stylist uses and carries. They smell wonderful and they have a high-end feel. I've used a variety of shampoos, conditioners and styling products, including Volu and Momu shampoos, This is a Volume-Boosting Mousse, This is a Sea Salt Spray, and Liquid Spell. I have fine hair and products have not weighed down my bob (previous cut) or pixie (current cut).
Feedback
I don't love the packaging for the conditioner as it's not very durable. I like that it's easy to get product out of, but I ended up transferring the conditioner to another container because the container cracked. I also had an issue with the Liquid Spell bottle (which is a GREAT product) which somehow leaked, leaving me with about 2/3 of the product after my first few uses. This was probably user error on my part, but it shouldn't be challenging to ensure that a container is fully closed.
I've been using Davines products for over 5 years now for daily hair care. Their variety of shampoos and conditioners makes you feel lost at first, but after trying various products it is easy to find what works best for you. The Circle masks are really amazing, hands down all of them. And OI hair milk is the best leave-in conditioner I've ever tried and will never spot using it.

I remember coming across Davines like 15 years ago in Eatly and being blown away by the conditioner. I then proceeded to forget about it as there were a million other options and at the time it felt quite expensive. Now I've come full circle and can attest that 15 years later the conditioner is still the tops! I love how simple the packaging is and will definitely be trying other products out as well.
I have mixed feelings about Davines. I first noticed the brand through my hairdresser, who was using the Oi Milk - I loved the smell and have been using either the Oi Milk or MELU protection spray ever since. They work well in terms of detangling and smoothening my hair, smell amazing (at least to me) and since you only need a few pumps each time, they will last you for a long time! Motivated by my experience with these two products, I decided to try the rebalancing product line and was very disappointed. The shampoo does not smell as good as the other products - which I can get past of course - but more importantly, it did not have the promised effect and even more so made it worse to an extent that I did not even finish the bottle. And for that it is quite simply too expensive. Overall, I would still recommend the brand: they're focussed on sustainability, have certified as a B corp and I like their aesthetic (which is at times clean and stripped-back and at times more playful). Personally, I have found two great products and will certainly try more in the future, but am more cautious due to past disappointment.
I LOVE this brand! I have thick wavy/curly mixed hair. I use the curl building serum mixed with a medium hold cream. I also use the hair mask. Both help define my curls and keep the frizz at bay.
Love the smell and texture on my hair. Got those as samples in an hotel bathroom in New York and definitely worth to try.
Smells so good! Makes my hair feel really healthy and soft. I use OI All In One Milk, NOUNOU Conditioner, and NOUNOU Shampoo. I'm a repeating customer, always coming back to this brand because I trust them and my hair loves their products.

Docking the overall rating for the price. I don't mind spending more on quality hair products, especially as I color my hair. But the amount you get for what you pay is minimal. They also send WAY too many promotional emails.

Davines is such a trusty brand . They have a very versatile selection. And you can tell they take pride in quality . I have only used the oi line as it is quite expensive. But my results have been mind blowing. Don’t think I could use any other brand after trying this one.
Classic, OG hair care line. My favorite products are the love shampoo and conditioner- but has been a staple for decades for a reason. The hair texturizing spray and Melu protectant spray is also lovely. For those who have never heard of Davines: If you’re looking for “clean” or simple hairline with no nonsense ingredients, and willing to spend a small luxury, this is THE quintessential hair line. It’s been a staple of high end salons for a reason. It also helps that every product smells AMAZING.
My hair salon used this on me and wow the Oi line is incredible. Super moisturizing and smells incredible. The Oi line has a leave in conditioner spray that you can water down for an instant end refresh. I use the Oi line shampoo conditioner, mask, oil, and hand cream. It smells fresh, clean, but still warm and cozy. I get so many compliments on my hair when it’s in it. I have tried the mouse for curly hair and it has good hold but the scent doesn’t work for me. I have also used their shampoo bar. It broke into a few pieces but was still good and lasted. I use it when I travel.
Davines Oi line is simply luxurious! It lathers well and leaves hair feeling smooth without weighing it down. The scent is strong, but it smells pretty but it’s not for everyone. The All in One Hair Milk is lovely. Same scent as the rest of the Oi line. It’s does protect hair against heat and leaves hair silky! I likey!

Love their variety of shampoos and hair masks. The pouches are a game changer for travel. Their Oi hair spray and oil have been a game changer for my hair after balayage. Keeps my hair super soft and frizz free with minimal effort.
My FAVE haircare line. The price point is a bit ouchy, but comparable to other salon quality haircare lines. The alchemic silver (purple shampoo for blondes) is the GOAT. I also love the OI line (the oil is the best). I would love for them to launch a scalp serum.
One of the best hair care products I've ever tried. Absolutely love the OI series. Made hair very soft, silky, and shiny, also the smell is pleasant and salon-like. By the way, sea salt is just ok, I stick with another one.

If you want fast and visible results — try OI conditioner and milk first.
The packaging is beautiful and the product is super effective. I especially love the hair masks and the easy-to-use tub it comes in. The shampoos have all lathered really nicely, which is not always the case with natural products.
Feedback
Each product's description and labeling could be a bit more intuitive. For example - if I didn't know anything about the brand - how would I know what 'love' product did?
My hairstylist friend recommended this brand to me, and I've never had a bad experience. Particularly enjoy the Love line of shampoos.
Feedback
I don't love the containers the conditioner comes in. It's hard not to get water in it!
Really nice products.
My hair stylist recommended the melu line a few years ago and I have been hooked since. They really have a wide assortment of hair products I’ve used and loved - from the shampoo and conditioner, to curly balm (current fave for air drying during covid) and texturizing spray.
Feedback
My stylist mentioned they might not be the cleanest hair care brand, so if you are trying to clear yourself from any and all toxins, it might not be the brand for you.

Clean branding & great results.
