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 SU Hair Milk UV-Protective Leave-In Conditioning Spray (4.56 fl oz / 135 ml) is a standout Step 3 styling and finishing essential in the SU & Authentic Specialty collection, designed for shielding salon color and highlights from UV oxidation and summer humidity before outdoor exposure.
Many styling products force a compromise between touchable movement and frizz control—either leaving strands crunchy and stiff or collapsing under Piedmont humidity. Davines SU Hair Milk UV-Protective Leave-In Conditioning Spray 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 — Savona Chinotto Citrus Extract (Slow Food Presidium UV Antioxidant): Powered by Savona Chinotto Citrus extract from Mr. Parodi’s Slow Food Presidium grove in Finale Ligure, Liguria, Italy—packed with vitamin C and antioxidants to shield hair from UV radiation, salt water, and pool chlorine.
Cuticle-Smart Delivery & Color Protection: Every bottle of Davines SU Hair Milk UV-Protective Leave-In Conditioning Spray 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 sun-drenched Italian chinotto citrus, white florals, and coastal breeze.
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 SU Hair Milk UV-Protective Leave-In Conditioning Spray 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.
