The Moda Team Review: For the Client Whose Roots Are Oily Before Their Ends Need Washing
This is a specific shampoo for a specific scalp condition — one we see more often than people think. When a client tells us their roots feel heavy and greasy within a day or two of washing, but their lengths are perfectly fine, that's sebum hyperproduction. The REBALANCING Shampoo is what Davines formulated for exactly that problem. It's a targeted treatment shampoo, not an everyday cleanser, and it's most effective when used consistently on a schedule.
Davines recommends an intensive phase — three times a week for one month — followed by a maintenance phase of twice weekly, alternating with the WELLBEING Shampoo. That alternation is key: using a regulating shampoo every single wash can prompt the scalp to overcompensate and produce more oil. The formula itself lathers well and rinses clean, leaving the scalp noticeably less heavy without the stripped or irritated feeling some sebum-control shampoos create. The botanical extract blend gives it a clean, slightly herbal scent — not medicinal.
Key Active Ingredient
Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract — A plant-derived astringent active that helps calm and regulate the sebaceous glands, reducing sebum overproduction without causing rebound. Davines combines it with Lemon Leaf Extract, Ginger Root Extract, and Cinnamon Bark Extract to create a multi-botanical approach to sebum control that works with the scalp's natural rhythm rather than against it.
Moda Pro Tip
The 20g application instruction on the Davines page is intentional — this is a leave-on-for-a-few-minutes formula, not a lather-and-rinse. When recommending this to clients, stress the timing: apply, let it sit, then rinse. That contact time is what gives the botanicals a chance to work on the scalp. Rushing the rinse reduces results.
How To Use
- Wet hair thoroughly.
- Apply approximately 20g to damp scalp and hair.
- Leave on for 2–3 minutes — do not rinse immediately.
- Rinse off thoroughly.
- Repeat application if scalp is particularly oily.
- Intensive protocol: use 3 times per week for 1 month. Maintenance: use twice per week, alternating with WELLBEING Shampoo.
