Davines Nourishing Set

The Biacidic Bond Complex is a patented Davines formulation combining maleic acid and liposol maleate — two actives that target broken disulphide bonds in chemically or heat-damaged hair. Disulphide bonds are the structural links inside the hair shaft that give it strength and elasticity; when they break from bleaching, colouring, or repeated heat styling, the hair becomes brittle, porous, and prone to breakage. Most shampoos don't address this — they clean the hair without doing anything to the internal structure. The Biacidic Bond Complex makes the NOURISHING Shampoo actively reparative at the cleanse step rather than just cleaning.

The NOURISHING Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner is a conditioning balm — a richer, more intensive format than a standard rinse-through conditioner. The five plant oils and Hydrolysed Wheat Protein need contact time to penetrate the open, porous cuticle of damaged hair and deliver moisture at the fibre level rather than just coating the surface. A 30-second rinse delivers slip but not the deep moisturising and protein repair the formula is designed for. Five minutes minimum; very damaged or brittle hair benefits from up to 10 minutes with a shower cap.

Liquid Spell contains heat-activated amino acids that compact and fill the hair structure when exposed to blow-dry heat. Applied to towel-dried hair as a liquid mousse (3–4 sprays), the amino acids are carried into the hair shaft as the heat drives out moisture during drying — the heat is the activation mechanism that bonds them to the hair structure and creates the bodifying effect. Air-drying without heat does not fully activate the formula. The result on fine or sensitised hair is structural body and strength that stays through the day rather than product-dependent volume that collapses.

Yes — and it is particularly well-suited for it. Colour-treated fine hair is doubly fragile: fine by nature and structurally compromised by chemical services. The Biacidic Bond Complex addresses the bond damage from colour; the Miracle Conditioner's oils and protein deeply condition without the silicones that can block colour molecules; Liquid Spell adds structural body without colour-interfering ingredients. The NOURISHING Shampoo is sulphate-free and colour-safe. All three products work within a colour-treated fine hair routine.

Yes — Davines specifically formulates the Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner for fine to medium hair. The conditioning balm delivers deep moisture through the five plant oils without the heavy waxes that flatten fine hair. The key is application technique: apply from mid-lengths to ends only (never at the root), comb through for even distribution, and rinse very thoroughly with cool water. Applying to the root zone or under-rinsing is what causes conditioning heaviness on fine hair — the formula itself is appropriate for fine fragile hair.
