Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub
An award-winning clarifying Davines scalp scrub for all hair types that deeply purifies the scalp, removes buildup and urban pollutants and adds natural texture and structure — enriched with Regenerative Organic Certified™ Buckwheat Extract and Trapani sea salt for a revitalised, lighter scalp and hair that stays clean for longer.
The Moda Team Review: The Scalp Treatment That Does Two Jobs at Once
Most clarifying products choose between deep-cleaning and texture — either they strip the scalp clean and leave the hair flat and rough, or they add texture at the expense of a thorough cleanse. The SOLU Sea Salt Scrub does both simultaneously. The Trapani sea salt particles physically exfoliate the scalp as the formula cleanses, lifting buildup, pollution particles and dead skin cells at the surface level that a liquid shampoo cannot reach. And because sea salt is inherently texturising, the hair comes out with natural grip, volume and structure — not squeaky-clean flatness.
We recommend it to clients who use a lot of product, clients with oily or congested scalps that feel weighed down between washes, and clients who want a scalp treatment that doubles as a pre-styling step. The Winner of Best Clarifying Treatment 2020 from Women's Health, it has the antipollution action to back the claim — ex vivo testing confirms it washes away Nickel, Cadmium and Lead from the hair shaft, the same metals that accumulate from daily urban air exposure. The Buckwheat Extract's polysaccharides ensure the deep-clean does not come at the cost of dryness.
Key Active Ingredient
Regenerative Organic Certified™ Buckwheat Extract + Trapani Sea Salt — Buckwheat sourced from Mr. Michele Aina's farm in Romentino, Novara, Italy. Contains polysaccharides that lock in moisture and shield hair from dryness and breakage; antioxidants protect hair health. Trapani sea salt provides the physical exfoliation that lifts scalp buildup and adds texture and structure to the hair. Antipollution: effectively washes away metals (Nickel, Cadmium, Lead) from the hair shaft per ex vivo testing. Vegan formula. Winner Best Clarifying Treatment 2020, Women's Health.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply as a paste to dry or slightly damp hair directly at the scalp — the scrub distributes and activates better on less saturated hair. Massage in circular motions over the entire scalp for 60–90 seconds before adding water to build the lather. The exfoliation happens during the dry massage; adding water rinses it clean. Use every 2–3 washes rather than at every wash — physical exfoliation is powerful and the scalp does not need it at every cleanse. Follow with a conditioner suited to your hair type.
How To Use
- Apply a generous amount of scrub paste directly to wet or dry scalp.
- Massage in circular motions into the scalp — add water gradually to build into a rich foam.
- Work through lengths and ends.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with a conditioner or mask suited to your hair type. Use every 2–3 washes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub different from the SOLU Shampoo?
Yes — the Sea Salt Scrub is a physical exfoliant in paste form: Trapani sea salt particles physically lift scalp buildup while simultaneously adding texture and structure to the hair. The SOLU Shampoo is a liquid clarifying formula that cleanses without physical exfoliation. Use the Scrub for a more intensive scalp treatment every 2–3 washes; use the Shampoo for regular weekly maintenance.
How often should I use the Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub?
Yes — every 2–3 washes is the recommended frequency. For very oily scalps or heavy product users, once a week is appropriate. Daily use is not recommended — physical scalp exfoliation is intensive and the scalp needs time between treatments to remain balanced.
Does Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub add volume and texture to the hair as well as cleansing?
Yes — the Trapani sea salt particles give the hair natural grip, volume and a texturised finish after rinsing. This makes the Scrub particularly effective as a pre-styling step for clients who want more natural body and movement without applying additional styling products.
Is Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub suitable for colour-treated hair?
Yes — it is colour-safe when used at the recommended frequency of every 2–3 washes. Always follow with a colour-protective conditioner such as Davines MINU Conditioner and rinse with cool water after the scrub to help preserve colour vibrancy.
What is the antipollution claim on Davines SOLU Sea Salt Scrub?
Yes — ex vivo testing confirms that SOLU Sea Salt Scrub (alongside SOLU Shampoo) effectively washes away Nickel, Cadmium and Lead from the hair shaft. These heavy metals are representative of pollutants found in urban air that build up on hair with daily exposure and contribute to dullness, scalp congestion and hair damage over time.
