Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
CALMING Shampoo is what we recommend when a client describes their scalp as “just always reactive” — itchy after colour, tight in winter, uncomfortable with most shampoos. The Sichuan Pepper Extract works at the nerve receptor level, which is why clients feel the difference from the first wash rather than after weeks of use. It’s not anti-dandruff and it’s not medicinal — it’s precisely formulated for the client who needs gentle, neurocosmetic scalp care as their permanent daily routine.

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 ModaWhat scalp conditions is the Davines Naturaltech CALMING Shampoo designed for?
It's formulated for sensitive, reactive, tight, or sensitised scalps — including those that feel uncomfortable after colour services, heat, or prolonged stress. It gently cleanses without triggering or worsening scalp sensitivity.
Can I use the Davines CALMING Shampoo every day?
Yes. There's no usage restriction specified by Davines — it can be used as needed or as a permanent daily cleanser for chronically sensitive scalps. Its ultra-gentle formula is designed to be as frequent as the client requires.
What does Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Extract do in the Davines CALMING Shampoo?
Sichuan Pepper Extract acts on the scalp's sensory nerve receptors to reduce the perception of irritation, tightness, and discomfort. It's a neurocosmetic active that calms the scalp's reactivity rather than just masking symptoms.
Should I use the Davines CALMING Shampoo with the CALMING Superactive?
Yes. The shampoo and the Superactive are designed as a pair — the shampoo provides gentle cleansing, and the Superactive provides leave-in soothing action between washes. Together they form a complete sensitive scalp routine.
Is the Davines Naturaltech CALMING Shampoo safe to use after a colour service?
Yes. Its gentle, non-stripping formula is suitable post-colour and is particularly useful for clients whose scalp becomes reactive after chemical services. It's free from harsh sulphates and cleansing agents that can aggravate a freshly sensitised scalp.
