Routine step
Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
This is the shampoo that makes everything else in the routine work better again. Product buildup, hard water minerals, and urban pollutants accumulate on the hair shaft over time and gradually make regular shampoo, conditioner, and treatments less effective. SOLU strips all of that away cleanly — and the Buckwheat Extract ensures it doesn’t strip the hair itself in the process.
Read full stylist notes
The client who uses styling products daily and comes in every six weeks with hair that feels like it has a coating on it — conditioner isn’t penetrating, masks aren’t working the way they should. One SOLU double-cleanse removes that coating and everything else in the routine starts working again immediately. Davines is B-Corp certified, family-owned, made in Italy. SOLU Shampoo is built on Regenerative Buckwheat Extract — a heritage grain ingredient that delivers the deep-clean clarifying action while its polysaccharides protect the hair from the stripping effect that most clarifying formulas produce.

How to use
Use it the way we would.

Moda stylist tipAlways double-cleanse with SOLU. The first application lifts the buildup; the second application cleanses the now-clear hair shaft. The second lather produces a noticeably richer foam and the hair squeaks clean in a way the first application cannot achieve on buildup-loaded hair. Follow with your regular conditioner or mask — SOLU is the pre-step.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaHow often should I use Davines SOLU Essential Haircare Shampoo?
Yes — once a week is the standard recommendation for most hair types. For heavy product users or oily scalps, twice a week is appropriate. For fine or dry hair, every 2–3 washes is sufficient. Follow with your regular conditioner or mask on every wash.
Can Davines SOLU Essential Haircare Shampoo be used before a colour or chemical service?
Yes — SOLU is specifically suitable before colour, perm or straightening services. It removes product residue and mineral deposits that can interfere with chemical service results, giving a clean base for the treatment to work on.
What does the antipollution action in Davines SOLU Essential Haircare Shampoo actually do?
Yes — ex vivo testing confirms SOLU Shampoo effectively removes Nickel, Cadmium and Lead from the hair shaft. These metals are representative of pollutants found in urban air that accumulate on hair with daily exposure, contributing to dullness, damage and scalp irritation over time.
Is Davines SOLU Essential Haircare Shampoo suitable for colour-treated hair?
Yes — it is colour-safe when used at the recommended weekly frequency. As a clarifying shampoo it cleanses more deeply than a daily formula, so cool-water rinsing and following with a colour-protective conditioner like Davines MINU Conditioner is advised to maintain vibrancy.
What is the difference between Davines SOLU Essential Haircare Shampoo and SOLU Sea Salt Scrub?
Yes — the Shampoo is the regular clarifying option: liquid, rich foam, scalp and hair cleanse. The Sea Salt Scrub is a physical exfoliant: a paste with Trapani sea salt that physically lifts scalp buildup while adding texture and structure to the hair. Use the Scrub for intensive scalp treatment, the Shampoo for weekly maintenance.
