Hair Salon Rituals for Your Best Hair

Personalised Consultations

We know every head of hair is unique. That’s why every appointment at Allure and or any hair salon you go to should start with a one-on-one chat about your hair history, goals, and lifestyle. You should leave feeling confident and cared for, with a routine that truly suits you.

Professional Treatments

Our in-salon rituals are all about real results. Whether your hair is dry, damaged, or just needs some love, we use Davines professional treatments packed with natural ingredients and free from nasties to restore shine, strength, and manageability.

Regular Trims

A simple but powerful tip: regular trims (every 6–8 weeks) keep split ends away and your style looking fresh. Even if you’re growing your hair, a little maintenance goes a long way.

At-Home Hair Care: Our Top Tips

1. Choose the Right Shampoo & Conditioner

Healthy hair starts in the shower. We’re passionate about Davines because their shampoos and conditioners are gentle, effective, and eco-friendly. Here are our top picks for every hair type:

• Davines OI Shampoo & Conditioner: For all hair types soft, shiny, and easy to manage.

• Davines MELU Shampoo and Conditioner: For long or fragile hair strengthens and protects.

• Davines MINU Shampoo And Conditioner: For coloured hair locks in vibrancy and keeps your colour looking salon-fresh.

• Davines LOVE Curl Shampoo: For curly hair, hydrates, defines, and tames frizz.

• Davines DEDE Shampoo: Lightweight and gentle for frequent washing.

• Heart of Glass Davines Range: Specially for blondes, strengthens, brightens, and neutralises brassiness.

  
  

2. Don’t Overwash

Most hair types don’t need daily washing. Try every 2–3 days to help your scalp’s natural oils do their job. In between, Davines dry shampoo is a lifesaver for a quick refresh.

3. Protect From Heat

Before you reach for your hairdryer or straightener, always apply a heat protectant. Ask us about our favourite Davines styling products to keep your hair smooth and shielded.

4. Weekly Masks & Leave-Ins

A weekly mask or leave-in treatment can be a game-changer, especially if your hair is coloured, heat-styled, or exposed to the sun. The Davines Nourishing Hair Building Pak is a salon staple for deep repair and hydration.

5. Be Gentle

Wet hair is fragile. Always use a wide-tooth comb, pat (don’t rub) with your towel, and, if you can, sleep on a silk pillowcase to help reduce breakage.

Why We Avoid Parabens and Harsh Chemicals

Let’s talk honestly, many supermarket and bargain hair products are packed with parabens, sulphates, silicones, and artificial fragrances. While they might promise instant results, these ingredients can do more harm than good in the long run.

What are parabens?

Parabens are synthetic preservatives used to extend shelf life. They’ve been linked to scalp irritation, dryness, colour fade, and even potential hormone disruption. Over time, parabens can strip your hair and scalp of their natural balance leaving hair brittle, dull, and more prone to breakage.

Other harsh chemicals to watch for:

• Sulphates: These foaming agents can strip hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and sensitivity.

• Silicones: They create a temporary “smooth” feel but build up over time, weighing hair down and blocking moisture.

• Artificial fragrances & dyes: Often cause irritation, especially for sensitive scalps.

Why we choose the Davines product:

At Allure, we only use and recommend products that are free from harmful parabens and harsh chemicals. Davines formulas are packed with natural, sustainably sourced ingredients that are gentle on your hair, your scalp, and the environment. They’re cruelty-free, beautifully scented with natural botanicals, and deliver real, lasting results.
