1. How It Performs at the Sunday Salon Backbar & At Home
At Sunday Salon at Raleigh Iron Works in Raleigh, NC, the finishing phase of a haircut or color appointment is where we teach guests how to recreate salon-grade polish at home. Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil 100% Natural-Origin Elixir (4.73 fl oz / 140 ml) is a standout Step 3 styling and finishing essential in the SU & Authentic Specialty collection, designed for sealing split ends and taming coarse or curly textures with 100% natural-origin botanical oils.
Many styling products force a compromise between touchable movement and frizz control—either leaving strands crunchy and stiff or collapsing under Piedmont humidity. Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil 100% Natural-Origin Elixir uses weightless, breathable conditioning polymers and botanical actives that wrap each fiber in an invisible shield.
Whether you are round-brushing a sleek blowout, diffusing natural curls, or detailing dry ends on day two, it delivers effortless memory, luminous reflection, and frizz resistance without buildup.
2. Ingredient Chemistry, Sustainability & Botanical Profile
Hero Bioactive — 98%–100% Organic Carthame (Safflower), Jojoba, Sesame & Sunflower Oils: Formulated with 98%–100% natural-origin ingredients and organic Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) oil, organic sesame oil, sunflower oil, and shea butter—multi-use luxury elixirs safe for both hair and skin.
Cuticle-Smart Delivery & Color Protection: Every bottle of Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil 100% Natural-Origin Elixir is pH-balanced to keep the hair cuticle sealed and reflective. By targeting damaged, negatively charged sites along the hair shaft, the formula delivers intensive nourishment where your mid-lengths and ends need it most while preserving the vibrancy of your Sunday Salon dimensional color or gloss.
B-Corp Sustainability & Sensory Profile: Formulated and bottled at the Davines Village in Parma, Italy using 100% renewable clean energy and carbon-neutral Zero Impact® packaging, this formula features an elevated aromatic profile of 100% natural essential oil bouquet of rose, neroli, eucalyptus, and geranium.
3. Stylist Application Guide: How to Apply by Hair Type
- Fine or Low-Density Hair: Start with half the amount you think you need. Emulsify or mist Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil 100% Natural-Origin Elixir into your palms first, then press and comb through mid-lengths and ends on towel-dried (or dry) hair to preserve maximum root lift and airy bounce.
- Medium, Balayage, or Color-Treated Hair: Apply evenly from mid-shaft to ends before blow-drying or heat styling. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb or wet brush to guarantee uniform cuticle protection and frizz sealing from root to tip.
- Thick, Coarse, or Curly Hair: Apply in 2–3 horizontal sections so the interior layers at the nape receive full hydration and humidity defense. Cocktail with 1–2 drops of Davines OI Oil on the very ends for glass-like reflection.
- Day-2 & Day-3 Refresh: Work a micro-amount between dry palms and lightly smooth over surface flyaways or slept-on ends to revive salon shape and softness without re-washing.
