Davines 01 Hair Butter

So here's the thing about hair masks.

They're a must for condition. (We've never met a hairdresser who didn't counsel using a hair mask once a week.)  

But while many masks make hair shiny and manageable, they can also make hair can't-do-a-thing-with-it floppy. Hair accessories slide out. It's tricky to get body into hair...

Which is why many of us in search of volume often avoid putting a mask on the scalp itself. (Even though there are real benefits, since the skin on your scalp also needs TLC, basically being an extension of the skin on your face. On which note, we're pleased to note the hot trend for the 'skinification' of hair and scalp – something we've been bleating on about for decades.) 

Davines 01 Hair Butter  doesn't make hair floppy, but instead leaves it really strengthened and shiny, with bounce and what hairdressers like to call 'guts'. It's called a 'hair butter', because that's exactly its texture – rich and creamy, while the 'wonder botanical' in this is an Amazonian ingredient called roucou (pronounced 'ru-ku').

Just the kind of TLC hair needs right now, in the brief window for rehab between summer's ravages and the drying effects of the soon-to-be-essential central heating.
