Routine step
Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
Long fragile hair detangles differently with this conditioner — the Lentil Extract’s serine and glutamic acid are the same amino acids that make up keratin, so the conditioning action is genuinely reinforcing the hair’s own structural protein rather than just coating the surface. Applied for 5–10 minutes, it noticeably changes how the hair moves through a wide-tooth comb.
Read full stylist notes
The long-haired client who loses a handful of hair every time she combs through her wet ends in the shower. She has been using a general conditioner that adds slip but no structural reinforcement. MELU Conditioner, combed through on wet hair, left for 5 minutes, cool rinse — the combing-through experience is noticeably less destructive by the second wash. Davines is B-Corp certified, family-owned, made in Italy. The Villalba Lentil Seeds Extract in MELU Conditioner comes from Mr. Francesco Di Gesu's farm in Villalba, Caltanissetta, Sicily — a Slow Food Presidium ingredient protecting a heritage Sicilian lentil variety while paying above-market to the farming family.

Moda stylist tipApply to soaking wet hair immediately after the shampoo rinse — the water helps even distribution through very long or tangled ends. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb before the 5-minute contact time starts. 5 minutes minimum; 10 minutes for very damaged or fragile hair. Cool water rinse every time.

Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaHow long should I leave Davines MELU Essential Haircare Conditioner on before rinsing?
5–10 minutes gives the best anti-breakage result — the Black Chickpea Extract's polysaccharides need contact time to properly bond to the hair fibre and form the protective film. A 30-second rinse delivers basic conditioning softness but not the full protective coverage the formula is designed for.
What is the Regenerative Black Chickpea Extract in Davines MELU Essential Haircare Conditioner?
Regenerative Organic Certified Black Chickpea Extract is sourced from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy. Its polysaccharides create a protective film that reduces friction and breakage during wet detangling and styling. Its antioxidants preserve hair's structural integrity against environmental stressors including heat, UV and urban pollutants.
Is Davines MELU Essential Haircare Conditioner lightweight enough for fine hair?
The silky lightweight formula is designed not to weigh down fine or medium hair. Apply from mid-lengths to ends only, detangle before rinsing, then rinse with cool water for the lightest finish. The anti-breakage benefit is present regardless of hair density — it's not a heavy protein treatment.
Can I use Davines MELU Essential Haircare Conditioner on colour-treated hair?
Colour-safe. Colour-treated hair is structurally more fragile — chemical processing opens the cuticle and weakens the cortex, making wet detangling more damaging than on unprocessed hair. The MELU Conditioner's protective film is particularly effective at reducing this specific breakage risk.
Is Davines MELU Essential Haircare Conditioner fast-acting or does it need long processing time?
Fast-acting from 5 minutes for regular maintenance. For very damaged, brittle or heavily colour-treated hair, 10 minutes with a shower cap delivers the most complete film formation and maximum anti-breakage protection. The formula is flexible enough for both daily quick-conditioning and weekly deeper treatment.
