Davines SU Hair Mask — an aftersun nourishing mask with Regenerative Organic Certified™ Bitter Orange Extract that deeply conditions and revitalises dry, sun-exposed hair, replenishing lost moisture and restoring softness, strength, and manageability after salt, chlorine, and UV exposure.
The Moda Team Review: For Hair That Has Had a Summer
The SU Hair Mask is the intensive treatment step in the Davines SU routine — the one you reach for when the Hair & Body Wash has cleaned the damage off and the hair needs actual rebuilding, not just rinsing. Sun exposure, salt water, and chlorine all do the same thing to hair in different ways: they dehydrate the fibre, degrade the cuticle, and leave lengths feeling rough, tangled, and dull. The SU Hair Mask addresses all three effects at once. It is a fast mask — five to ten minutes is enough — but the Bitter Orange Extract's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action, combined with the deeply conditioning base, makes those minutes count.
The particular clients we recommend this for are the ones whose hair deteriorates noticeably through the summer months: colour-treated hair that fades faster and feels increasingly porous by August, swimmers whose ends are always dry and rough, and anyone who notices their hair behaving differently in July than it does in November. Used consistently after sun-exposed days, it maintains the hair's structural condition at a level that makes a visible difference to how it looks and feels by the end of the season.
Why Moda Carries This
Davines is our foundation brand at Moda — the only professional line we use across every service. The SU Hair Mask earns its place on our shelves because it solves a specific problem that most haircare ranges do not acknowledge: the cumulative, seasonal damage that builds up over a summer. We recommend it to clients the way we recommend any Davines treatment — because we have seen the result on real hair, and because the ingredient story behind it is consistent with why we chose Davines in the first place.
Key Active Ingredient
-
Regenerative Organic Certifiedâ„¢ Bitter Orange Extract (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis): Sourced from Mrs. Paola Nastasi's farm in Avola, Siracusa, Italy. High in flavonoids and antioxidants that neutralise UV-caused free radicals built up in the hair fibre during sun exposure. Provides anti-inflammatory action that calms dehydrated, stressed hair while deeply conditioning and restoring manageability.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply generously from mid-lengths to ends on thoroughly wet hair immediately after rinsing the SU Hair & Body Wash — while the hair is still warm and the cuticle is open from the heat of the shower. This is when the conditioning actives penetrate deepest. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute evenly and detangle while the mask is in, then rinse with cool water to close the cuticle and lock in the softness.
Not the Right Fit If...
If your hair is in good condition and your concern is preventive protection before sun exposure rather than after-sun repair, the SU Hair Milk is the relevant product — it provides UV and heat protection and is applied before styling. The Hair Mask is the recovery step, not the protection step. Use the Milk proactively; reach for the Mask reactively.
How To Use
- Shampoo with SU Hair & Body Wash and rinse thoroughly.
- Apply SU Hair Mask generously from mid-lengths to ends — do not apply to scalp.
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes.
- Rinse with cool water to close the cuticle.
- Follow with SU Hair Milk applied to towel-dried hair for leave-in UV protection.
