Davines MINU Discovery Kit
A Moda-curated Davines MINU travel set — Shampoo and Conditioner in travel sizes — the colour-protecting wash routine for colour-treated hair that wants to stay vibrant and healthy between appointments.
The Moda Team Review: The Reformulated MINU System to Try Before You Commit
The MINU Discovery Kit is how we introduce colour-treated clients to the reformulated MINU system. It contains the two core steps of the wash routine in travel sizes — the shampoo with its new chelating action that removes dulling mineral deposits alongside Green Coffee Extract antioxidant colour protection, and the conditioner that seals colour pigments in during the rinse stage. Two to three weeks of consistent use and most clients with colour-treated hair have a clear picture of what MINU does for their colour between appointments.
The reformulated MINU range now uses Regenerative Organic Certified™ Green Coffee Extract from Mr. Aber Tocto's Churupampa farm in Chirinos, Peru — caffeine, caffeic acid and ferulic acid that protect colour from UV-driven and wash-driven oxidative fade. Clients who tried the previous Salina Caper Blossom formulation should trial this kit — the chelating shampoo alone is a significant upgrade for clients in hard water areas like Ontario. To complete the full colour-care routine, pair with Davines MINU Hair Milk as a leave-in heat-protecting step after washing.
What's Included
-
Davines MINU Shampoo — travel size. Illuminating colour-protective shampoo with new chelating action to remove hard water mineral deposits. Rich creamy lather. Zesty citrus and soft florals scent into musk and patchouli. Vegan.
-
Davines MINU Conditioner — travel size. Fast-acting colour-protective conditioner. Lightweight silky texture. 30-second processing. Rinse with cool water. Vegan.
Moda Pro Tip
Start this kit immediately after your next colour appointment — the first two post-colour washes are when the most pigment loss occurs. Always rinse both shampoo and conditioner with cool water, which closes the cuticle and locks colour pigments in more effectively than warm water. Add the MINU Hair Milk as your leave-in step to complete the full routine and get the heat protection and 6.6x shine result.
How To Use
- Apply MINU Shampoo to wet hair — massage into scalp and lengths, leave 30–60 seconds to allow chelating agents to work, then rinse with cool water.
- Apply MINU Conditioner from mid-lengths to ends — leave for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, rinse with cool water.
- Style as usual. Follow with MINU Hair Milk on towel-dried hair for the complete colour-protective routine.

Is the MINU Discovery Kit good for clients who tried the old Salina Caper Blossom formulation?

Clients who found the previous MINU underwhelming should trial the new formulation.
