Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner
A fast-acting smoothing Davines conditioner for frizzy, thick and coarse hair that transforms unruly locks into manageable, smooth hair — delivering up to 3x smoother results and 72 hours of anti-frizz with the full LOVE SMOOTHING routine.
The Moda Team Review: Where the Cuticle Actually Gets Laid Flat
If the shampoo starts the smoothing process, LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner is where it actually settles in. It is a fast-acting formula — 30 seconds is enough for most hair types — and in that time it works the Apple Pulp Extract into the hair fibre, deepening the cuticle-smoothing the shampoo began and locking in moisture. The texture is silky and lightweight, melting into the hair rather than sitting on top of it, which means it rinses out completely clean without any of the coating weight that heavier smoothing conditioners leave behind.
It is particularly well-suited to thick, coarse or wavy hair that goes frizzy rather than defined — the clients who describe their hair as fighting back, puffing up in humidity or never quite settling. The difference between using this and a general conditioner is most visible on the second and third day, when hair that would normally be losing shape is still calm. Paired with the LOVE SMOOTHING Milk as a leave-in, the 72-hour anti-frizz claim becomes genuinely achievable. 95.5% naturally derived, vegan.
Key Active Ingredient
Regenerative Organic Certified™ Apple Pulp Extract — sourced from Mr. Francesco Querzola's farm in Borgo Val di Taro, Parma, Italy. Carbohydrates lock in moisture and smooth the hair fibre; antioxidants protect the hair and keep it healthy while reducing frizz. Used with the full LOVE SMOOTHING routine (shampoo, conditioner and lightweight milk), delivers up to 3x smoother hair after one use and up to 72 hours of anti-frizz. 95.5% naturally derived, vegan. Silky lightweight texture that melts into the hair.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply immediately after rinsing the shampoo while hair is still soaking wet — the water in the hair helps the conditioner distribute evenly through the lengths. On very thick or coarse hair, section the hair and apply in panels rather than all-over to ensure even coverage before the 30-second processing time starts. Rinse with cool water to close the cuticle and enhance the shine result.
How To Use
- After shampooing, apply to damp hair from mid-lengths to ends.
- Leave for 30 seconds — extend to 2–3 minutes on very thick or coarse hair.
- Comb through gently with a wide-tooth comb.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Follow with LOVE SMOOTHING Milk on towel-dried hair to extend frizz control through the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Essential Haircare Conditioner fast enough for daily use?
Yes — it is specifically formulated as a fast-acting conditioner that delivers results in 30 seconds, making it practical for daily washing. For thicker or coarser hair that needs more penetration, extending to 2–3 minutes deepens the smoothing result.
What does the Apple Pulp Extract do in Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner?
Yes — sourced from a certified regenerative farm in Borgo Val di Taro, Parma, Italy, it contains carbohydrates that lock in moisture and smooth the hair fibre, and antioxidants that protect against damage. It is the active ingredient responsible for the conditioner's frizz-reducing and smoothing action.
Can I use Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner on wavy hair without losing the wave pattern?
Yes — it smooths frizz and reduces puffiness without eliminating wave movement. If your hair is wavy and frizzy, LOVE SMOOTHING gives you the calmer version of your wave. If you want to enhance and define waves further, LOVE CURL Conditioner is better suited.
How does Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner compare to the LOVE SMOOTHING Mask?
Yes — the conditioner is the daily step, applied after every wash for 30 seconds. The mask is a deeper treatment for thick or coarse frizzy hair that needs more intensive smoothing — used in place of the conditioner once a week for a more concentrated result.
Is Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Essential Haircare Conditioner safe for colour-treated frizzy hair?
Yes — the formula is colour-safe. It is particularly beneficial for colour-treated hair, where the cuticle is more open and more prone to frizz after chemical processing.
