Davines Effortlessly Messy Waves Set
A Moda-curated Davines OI bundle — OI Shampoo, OI Conditioner, OI Oil and OI All In One Milk — the complete Roucou Oil routine for the kind of soft, lived-in, effortlessly shiny finish that looks undone but expensive.
The Moda Team Review: The OI Routine That Creates That Look
There is a specific hair result that clients describe as "effortless" — hair that looks like it has done something interesting without looking like it tried. Soft, touchable, with movement and shine, not stiff or overworked. The OI family from Davines is built for exactly that. Roucou Oil (Bixa Orellana) is the through-line across all four products — 100x richer in beta-carotene than carrots, with a beta-carotene and antioxidant profile that delivers luminosity and softness from the wash through to the finish.
This set builds the complete OI layering routine. The shampoo and conditioner deposit the first Roucou Oil foundation through the wash. The OI All In One Milk applies to damp hair as a leave-in that adds heat protection, detangling and the pre-blowout Roucou Oil base. Then OI Oil seals everything post-dry with a finishing polish that makes the hair reflect light without looking oily or coated. The result is hair that genuinely looks like it has been professionally styled, even when it has just air-dried.
What's Included
-
Davines OI Shampoo — Sulfate-free Roucou Oil shampoo for all hair types. Gently cleanses while depositing the first layer of Roucou Oil softness and antioxidant protection. Builds the shine and softness foundation that every subsequent OI product enhances.
-
Davines OI Conditioner — Rich, buttery Roucou Oil conditioner for all hair types. Deeply conditions, detangles and adds softness while eliminating frizz. Leave on for 3–5 minutes, rinse with the coldest water possible to maximise the signature OI gloss.
-
Davines OI All In One Milk — Multi-benefit leave-in for all hair types. Detangles, adds Roucou Oil softness and luminosity, and provides heat protection up to 230°C. Apply to towel-dried hair before blow-drying — do not rinse out. The step that primes the blowout for maximum surface shine.
-
Davines OI Oil — A finishing Roucou Oil for all hair types. Seals the cuticle, adds mirror-like shine and smoothness, and provides heat protection. Warm 2–3 drops between palms and apply to damp or dry hair after blow-drying. The step that makes the finish visible — touchable, luminous, never oily.
How The Routine Works
- Wash with OI Shampoo — massage into scalp, work through lengths, rinse.
- Apply OI Conditioner to mid-lengths and ends, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse with the coldest water possible.
- Towel-dry gently and apply OI All In One Milk from mid-lengths to ends — do not rinse out.
- Blow-dry or air-dry as desired. For messy waves, rough-dry with fingers rather than a brush.
- Warm 2–3 drops of OI Oil between palms and press through dry or damp lengths and ends to seal and finish.
Moda Pro Tip
For the effortless wave result specifically — after applying the OI Milk, twist sections loosely and scrunch upward rather than blowing straight. Once rough-dry, add OI Oil and leave the hair to finish air-drying or diffuse briefly. The combination of the Milk's heat protection and the Oil's cuticle-sealing finish is what produces the soft, wave-enhanced, glossy result without using a styling product that adds hold or weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Davines Effortlessly Messy Waves Set from Moda Salon?
Yes — this Moda-curated set includes the Davines OI Shampoo, OI Conditioner, OI All In One Milk and OI Oil. It gives you the complete four-step Roucou Oil routine for soft, luminous, naturally finished hair with effortless movement.
Is the Davines Effortlessly Messy Waves Set suitable for straight hair or only wavy hair?
Yes — the OI family works on all hair types. The "effortlessly messy" result refers to the soft, undone, lived-in finish rather than a specific texture. On straight hair it produces a polished, softly blowdried result; on wavy or curly hair it enhances the natural movement and adds luminosity to the pattern.
Can I use all four products in this set in the same routine without overloading the hair?
Yes — the OI products are specifically designed to layer as a system. The shampoo and conditioner rinse out; the Milk is a lightweight leave-in; the Oil is used in 2–3 drops as a finishing step. The Roucou Oil deposits build cumulatively without heaviness when used in the correct amounts.
Does the Davines OI Oil in this set make hair look greasy?
No — OI Oil is a dry-finish oil that seals the cuticle and adds shine without leaving an oily residue. Use 2–3 drops warmed between the palms — the warmth disperses the oil more evenly and prevents any heavy application that could make the hair look weighed down.
Is the Davines Effortlessly Messy Waves Set suitable for colour-treated hair?
Yes — all four OI products are colour-safe. The Roucou Oil's antioxidant-rich profile is particularly beneficial for colour-treated hair, adding the luminosity and softness that colour processing tends to diminish between appointments.
