• Gentle cleansing surfactants – a combination of surface-active agents helps effectively remove build-up, styling residue, and impurities without leaving the hair feeling unnecessarily rough or dried out.
• Anti-pollution effect – Davines refers to an ex vivo test in which SOLU Shampoo helped rinse away metals such as nickel, cadmium, and lead from the hair fibre, representing impurities commonly associated with polluted air.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

• How often should SOLU Shampoo be used? According to Davines, the frequency can be adapted to your hair type and lifestyle. For hair weighed down by styling products, dry shampoo, oils, or urban pollution, more regular use may make sense, while for drier hair it is better used as an occasional deep-cleansing step.
• Is it suitable for colour-treated hair? Davines lists it as a shampoo for all hair types. However, for freshly coloured or strongly toned hair, it is best to use deep-cleansing shampoos with caution, as more intensive cleansing may accelerate pigment fading in some colours.
• Is it suitable before chemical treatment? Yes, the official Czech Davines website states that it is ideal before chemical processing, as it helps remove styling product residue and prepare the hair for the next step.
• Is SOLU Shampoo suitable for the Curly Girl Method? Not really as a regular CGM shampoo. It is a clarifying shampoo for deep cleansing, so it may be useful as an occasional reset, but for curly and drier hair we recommend following with a hydrating conditioner or mask.
