NOURISHING Shampoo
Davines Naturaltech NOURISHING Shampoo is a repairing, restructuring cleanser with Vegetal Keratin and Sweet Almond Oil that deeply cleanses dry, damaged, or chemically processed hair while rebuilding the internal hair structure with every wash.
The Moda Team Review: Repair That Starts at the Shampoo Step
Most repairing shampoos are repairing in name only — they contain conditioning agents that make hair feel better after washing without doing anything structural to the fibre. The NOURISHING Shampoo is genuinely different: Vegetal Keratin is in the formula at a meaningful level, beginning the structural repair process during the cleanse itself, before any mask or treatment step. This matters because clients with severely damaged hair need every possible step working in their favour.
Davines built this as the foundation of the NOURISHING system — it's designed to be followed by the Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner or Mask, and then sealed with the Keratin Sealer. The three-step progression means the Keratin repair compounds are delivered at the shampoo stage, reinforced during conditioning, and locked in at the seal stage. Using the NOURISHING Shampoo alone and skipping the rest of the system leaves half the repair work undone. That's worth communicating clearly to clients who want to simplify their routine.
Key Active Ingredient
Vegetal Keratin (Hydrolyzed Rice Protein + Glycine + Lysine HCL) — A plant-derived structural protein complex that penetrates into the hair cortex during the shampoo step to begin filling in areas of structural damage. Davines sources the amino acid profile specifically for its ability to bond to the damaged keratin sites in the hair fibre. Paired with Sweet Almond Oil, which delivers emollient conditioning and surface-shine restoration, the formula cleans and begins rebuilding simultaneously.
Moda Pro Tip
For significantly damaged hair, double-shampoo: first application to lift buildup and oil, second application to allow the Vegetal Keratin proper contact time with a clean, unloaded hair shaft. Two minutes of leave-on time on the second application makes a measurable difference in how much Keratin the hair absorbs before rinsing.
How To Use
- Wet hair thoroughly.
- Apply shampoo to scalp and damp lengths.
- Massage gently from roots to ends.
- Leave on for 2 minutes before rinsing for maximum Keratin contact time.
- Rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed.
- Follow with NOURISHING Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner or Mask on lengths, then NOURISHING Keratin Sealer as leave-in.
