Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Solid Shampoo Bar
A smoothing solid Davines shampoo bar for frizzy or coarse hair that delivers the same LOVE SMOOTHING anti-frizz and shine action in a concentrated, low-waste format — the same hero ingredient, zero plastic.
The Moda Team Review: Full LOVE SMOOTHING Performance, Conscious Format
For LOVE SMOOTHING clients who want to reduce their plastic footprint without giving up their frizz-control routine, this is the answer. The Solid Shampoo Bar delivers the same Regenerative Organic Certified™ Apple Pulp Extract that drives the LOVE SMOOTHING liquid shampoo's performance — carbohydrates that smooth and lock in moisture, antioxidants that protect — in a concentrated solid format with recyclable packaging and meaningfully lower environmental impact. The bar is more concentrated than liquid shampoo, which means it lasts considerably longer and travels without contributing to liquids limits.
The texture starts solid but transforms into a rich, creamy foam on application — the same satisfying lather as the liquid version but activated through the palms first rather than directly on the hair. The scent is identical to the rest of the LOVE SMOOTHING range: zesty citrus and delicate florals opening into a smooth musky base. Follow with LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner or Mask and the Milk for the full routine result. Store on a dry draining surface between uses to extend its lifespan.
Key Active Ingredient
Regenerative Organic Certified™ Apple Pulp Extract — sourced from Mr. Francesco Querzola's farm in Borgo Val di Taro, Parma, Italy. Contains carbohydrates that lock in moisture and smooth hair, reducing frizz; antioxidants protect and maintain hair health. The same hero ingredient as the liquid LOVE SMOOTHING Shampoo, delivering the same anti-frizz, shine and smoothing action. Vegan formula. Recyclable packaging.
Moda Pro Tip
Work the bar between wet palms until you have a full, rich lather before applying to the scalp — applying the bar directly to frizzy or coarse hair risks tangling and distributes the product unevenly. Rinse with cool water at the end to help close the cuticle before conditioning. Store the bar on a well-draining soap dish rather than leaving it sitting in pooled water, which will dissolve it faster than normal.
How To Use
- Wet hair and the bar thoroughly.
- Work the bar between wet palms to build a full lather.
- Massage lather into the scalp and press gently through mid-lengths.
- Rinse with cool water — repeat if needed.
- Follow with LOVE SMOOTHING Conditioner or Mask, then LOVE SMOOTHING Milk on towel-dried hair.
- Store on a dry draining surface between uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Solid Shampoo Bar deliver the same smoothing result as the liquid shampoo?
Yes — it contains the same Regenerative Organic Certified™ Apple Pulp Extract as the liquid LOVE SMOOTHING Shampoo. The core smoothing, anti-frizz and shine action is the same. The main differences are format, sustainability profile and concentration.
How long does one Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Essential Haircare Solid Shampoo Bar last?
Yes — a solid shampoo bar lasts significantly longer than a liquid bottle of equivalent price due to its concentration. With regular use, one bar typically outlasts two to three 250ml bottles depending on hair length and thickness.
Is the Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Solid Shampoo Bar suitable for colour-treated frizzy hair?
Yes — the formula is colour-safe and vegan. It delivers the same frizz-smoothing benefit as the liquid shampoo without affecting colour vibrancy.
Can the Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Solid Shampoo Bar be used in hard water areas?
Yes — it works in most water conditions. In very hard water, an occasional diluted apple cider vinegar rinse can prevent any mineral buildup over time, which is common with all solid shampoos rather than specific to this formula.
How should I store the Davines LOVE SMOOTHING Essential Haircare Solid Shampoo Bar to make it last?
Yes — keep it on a well-draining soap dish between every use. Keeping the bar dry between washes is the single most effective way to extend its lifespan. Avoid storing it in the direct stream of the shower.
