I have been lightening my hair for a few years now and always have been quite happy with the state of my hair.
Recently I went to do a balayage refresh and unfortunately I came out with really damaged hair.
I don’t want to go into too much detail, but let's just say I spent way too much time with the decolourant on my hair.
Rather than chopping it off, I have been looking for alternative products that can help my damaged hair.
Using the Olaplex at home treatment has been a life saver, for review click here.
The Oi line from Davines has also made a huge difference. The Davines Oi shampoo is classified as a hydrating shampoo, but don’t let that discourage you if like me you have an oily scalp, as it won't weigh down your hair or make your routes oilier.
I was quite sceptical when I first started using it, but I have quickly been converted. The Oi shampoo just makes your hair feel clean, nourished and full of volume.
The Davines Oi range is nourishing without being heavy, leaving your ends silky smooth. After each use, it leaves your hair shiny and manageable, with a super-smooth, frizz-free finish.
Its star ingredient is roucou oil, which is known for smoothing and ‘controlling’ weakened and dry hair. It’s 100 times richer in beta-carotene than carrots and helps to stimulate melanin synthesis (and in turn, maintain your hair’s natural pigment), while its ellagic acid content works to neutralise free radicals and thus protect against cellular damage caused by UV exposure. The Oi line is also sulfate- and paraben-free.
Both the shampoo and the Davines Oi conditioner are amazing, I love using both on a daily basis. They leave my hair looking salon-worthy and smelling amazing!
