The last time I got my hair cut at The Hive by owner Lissa Renn, we chatted about the hair product line they use–Davines. Lissa explained that Davines is a super cool Italian company that’s focused on high quality and sustainability. They’ve adopted all sorts of sustainability projects, like a zero impact (carbon neutral) policy for their Essential Haircare product line, and they’ve partnered with LifeGate, Italy’s leading supplier of renewable energy to ensure that their business is run on 100% clean energy.

Plus, Davines’ products draw rave reviews from customers. When I left The Hive, my hair looked amazing, thanks to Lissa’s genius cut, but it smelled great and was so incredibly soft from the Davines’ products too. I was tempted to buy some, but I held back since the last thing I need is more hair products. But I’ve been dreaming about them ever since. Lissa did slip me a little sample packet of Davines Alchemic Shampoo and Conditioner for Copper Hair.

I finally tried it out last night. The shampoo does not lather up much because it doesn’t contain sodium laurel sulfate, but if you’ve used other natural shampoos, you’re use to this. Don’t worry; your hair will still get clean without all the suds and won’t be stripped in the process. The conditioner was amazing. It felt like a conditioning mask. I didn’t notice a serious boost in my color, as these do contain color pigments, but I only had enough for one use, so that might happen after continued use. Overall, loved these but would prefer to use a shampoo/conditioner without color pigments since I don’t color my hair.

I have an appointment at The Hive this week. I think I might break down and purchase Davines Nourishing Repairing Mask, since that’s the one product I am really dying to try. I will let you know my review, if I get it!
