Davines SOLU Shampoo
A clarifying Davines shampoo for all hair types that deeply cleanses buildup, styling residue and urban pollutants from scalp and hair — enriched with Regenerative Organic Certified™ Buckwheat Extract to lock in moisture and shield hair from dryness while leaving it refreshed, light and naturally vibrant.
The Moda Team Review: The Reset Your Scalp Actually Needs
Every hair routine accumulates a layer of product — dry shampoo, styling products, conditioner residue, hard water minerals — that sits on the scalp and hair shaft and gradually dulls the result of every other product you are using. The SOLU Shampoo is the weekly reset that removes all of it in one wash. The rich, airy foam penetrates and lifts buildup efficiently without stripping the hair or over-drying the scalp, and the result after one use is hair that feels cleaner, lighter and more responsive than it has in weeks.
What makes SOLU different from a standard clarifying shampoo is the antipollution action: ex vivo testing confirms it washes away metals including Nickel, Cadmium and Lead from the hair shaft — heavy metals representative of pollutants found in urban air that accumulate on hair with daily exposure. For clients in cities or high-pollution environments, this is meaningful. The Regenerative Organic Certified™ Buckwheat Extract tempers the deep-cleanse with moisture-locking polysaccharides and antioxidants, so the hair comes out clean without feeling stripped or rough. Used weekly or every few washes, it keeps the scalp balanced and every subsequent product working at full efficiency.
Key Active Ingredient
Regenerative Organic Certified™ Buckwheat Extract — sourced from Mr. Michele Aina's farm in Romentino, Novara, Italy. Contains polysaccharides that lock in moisture and shield hair from dryness, damage and breakage; antioxidants protect hair and keep it healthy. Balanced with Trapani sea salt minerals in the formula. Antipollution: effectively washes away metals (Nickel, Cadmium, Lead) from the hair shaft per ex vivo testing. Vegan formula.
Moda Pro Tip
Use SOLU Shampoo once a week as a scalp reset rather than every wash — over-clarifying strips the natural oils the scalp needs to stay balanced. Apply to wet hair, massage thoroughly into the scalp for at least 60 seconds (the deep-clean happens at the scalp level), work through the lengths and rinse. Follow with a conditioner or mask suited to your hair type — SOLU cleanses deeply so the conditioner that follows works more effectively than it would on product-coated hair.
How To Use
- Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly into scalp and lengths.
- Work into a rich, airy foam — add water to build lather.
- Rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed for heavy buildup.
- Follow with the most suitable conditioner or mask for your hair type.
- Use weekly or every 2–3 washes to maintain a clean, refreshed scalp.
Frequently Asked Questions
How 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 Shampoo be used before a colour or chemical service?
Yes — SOLU is specifically suitable for use 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 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 good colour-protective conditioner like Davines MINU Conditioner is advised to maintain colour vibrancy.
What is the difference between Davines SOLU Shampoo and SOLU Sea Salt Scrub?
Yes — the Shampoo is the everyday clarifying option: liquid formula, rich foam, straightforward scalp and hair cleanse. The Sea Salt Scrub is a physical exfoliant: a paste with Trapani sea salt particles that physically lifts scalp buildup while simultaneously adding texture and structure to the hair. Use the Scrub for a more intensive scalp treatment and the Shampoo for regular weekly maintenance.
