Hair Conditioner

Professional Hair Conditioners for Every Hair Type

Conditioner is often the most underestimated step in a haircare routine. Used correctly, it makes a significant difference to manageability, softness, frizz control, and the long-term health of the hair fibre. Used incorrectly, or skipped entirely, it leaves hair more prone to breakage, dryness, and tangling.

Davines' conditioner range covers every hair type and concern, from lightweight sulphate-free daily conditioners for fine hair to rich, deeply moisturising formulas for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair. All are sustainably made in Parma, Italy, and used by professional salons across the UK. Pair your chosen conditioner with the matching shampoo for a complete routine.

Moisturising Conditioner for Dry Hair

For dry or dehydrated hair, a moisturising conditioner is one of the most impactful products you can add to your routine. Our MOMO Conditioner is specifically formulated for dry and dehydrated hair, delivering a generous dose of hydration with each use through a formula enriched with yellow melon extract and rice proteins. It softens, detangles, and leaves a protective layer on each strand that helps retain moisture between washes.

For hair that is very dry or damaged, the NOUNOU Conditioner offers a richer alternative, nourishing brittle or fragile hair with avocado oil and fenugreek proteins.

Smoothing and Anti-Frizz Conditioners

For frizzy or unruly hair, a conditioner that works actively on the cuticle makes a noticeable difference to the final result. The LOVE Smoothing Conditioner is our most targeted option for this concern: formulated with elderberry extract, it smooths the cuticle as it conditions, building humidity resistance and delivering a noticeably smoother, more polished result after drying.

Conditioners for Curly Hair

Curly hair needs consistent moisture to maintain its shape and elasticity, and a rinse-out conditioner is one of the most effective ways to deliver it. The LOVE CURL Conditioner is formulated specifically for curly and wavy hair, detangling and moisturising without disrupting the natural curl pattern. It pairs directly with the LOVE CURL Shampoo and sits at the heart of a curl-focused routine. For the full range of curl-specific products, explore the curly hair collection.

Conditioners for Damaged and Colour-Treated Hair

Chemically treated hair loses structural integrity through the bleaching and colouring process, making a quality conditioner an important part of colour maintenance. The MINU Conditioner protects colour vibrancy while restoring softness and shine to colour-treated hair. OI Conditioner is a luxury daily conditioner suitable for all hair types, built around roucou oil for extraordinary softness and shine.

For hair that needs structural repair alongside conditioning, the Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner delivers an intensive NaturalTech formula that rebuilds and nourishes deeply damaged or over-processed hair. For additional repair-focused options, browse the damaged hair repair collection.

Lightweight Conditioners for Fine Hair

Fine hair needs conditioning as much as any other hair type, but is easily weighed down by richer formulas. The DEDE Conditioner is our gentlest option: a lightweight, sulphate-free daily conditioner formulated for fine, delicate, or easily weighed-down hair, providing the moisture and detangling benefits of conditioning without compromising volume or movement. Explore the broader fine and thin hair range for additional products tailored to this hair type.

The DEDE Hair Mist is a leave-in alternative for fine hair that needs a lighter conditioning touch between washes. For a complete routine pairing, explore shampoo and conditioner sets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Conditioner

How do I use conditioner correctly?

Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of hair after shampooing, avoiding the roots and scalp. Leave on for one to three minutes, or longer for a more intensive effect, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. For fine hair, focus primarily on the ends; for dry or damaged hair, work the conditioner generously through the full length. Our guide to the best Davines conditioner for your hair type gives tailored guidance across different hair concerns.

Should I use conditioner every time I wash my hair?

For most hair types, yes. Conditioner replaces the moisture that shampoo removes and prepares the cuticle for the drying and styling that follows. Skipping conditioner regularly leaves hair more prone to tangling, breakage, and dryness over time. Very oily hair types may find that a lighter conditioner applied only to the ends, rather than the full length, provides the necessary benefits without adding unwanted weight at the roots.

What is a deep conditioner and when should I use one?

A deep conditioner is a more concentrated, intensive formula designed to be left on the hair for longer than a standard conditioner, allowing active ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft more deeply. Deep conditioners are typically used once a week in place of a regular conditioner, or in addition to it as a supplementary treatment. They are particularly beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair. Our guide to how often to use a hair mask covers frequency recommendations across different hair types and concerns. For a wider range of deep conditioning options, browse the hair treatments collection.

What conditioner is best for damaged hair?

Damaged hair needs a conditioner with strengthening and restorative properties rather than simply moisturising ones. Look for formulas containing proteins, keratin, or strengthening actives that help rebuild the hair's structural integrity. The NOUNOU Conditioner and Nourishing Vegetarian Miracle Conditioner are both well-suited to damaged hair, providing the richer nourishment that weakened hair needs.

Is sulphate-free conditioner better for most hair types?

For the vast majority of hair types, yes. While conditioners do not typically contain sulphates in the way shampoos do, the overall benefit of using a sulphate-free regime throughout your full routine is well established. Sulphate-free formulas preserve natural oils, colour vibrancy, and the hair's moisture balance more effectively than those containing harsh surfactants. All conditioners in the Davines range are free from sulphates and parabens.

Can I use conditioner without shampoo?

Co-washing, which involves using conditioner in place of shampoo for cleansing, is popular particularly among those with very curly or particularly dry hair. The approach reduces the frequency of sulphate-based cleansing, which can be too stripping for very dry or fragile hair types. However, most people benefit from incorporating a clarifying shampoo periodically to remove product build-up even if they co-wash regularly.
