Davines MELU Elasticizing Shampoo for Long or Damaged Hair, 8.45 fl oz — Strengthening, Shine-Boosting Formula

Davines MELU Shampoo is a gentle, elasticizing cleanser formulated for long or brittle hair that helps reduce breakage while leaving strands shiny, soft, and reinforced.

Crafted in Parma with a blend of mild surfactants and Villalba lentil seed extract, MELU Shampoo provides creamy foam and lightweight moisture to fragile lengths without weighing hair down. The formula targets elasticity and tensile strength so long hair can move freely with fewer split ends and less snapping during detangling or styling. A natural-inspired shine booster—phenethyl benzoate—adds a noticeable gloss to hair without silicones that build up.

How does MELU Shampoo help long hair stay strong?

MELU focuses on elasticity rather than just temporary thickening: the lentil seed extract supports fiber resilience so strands bend and recover more easily under tension. Regular use pairs gentle cleaning with conditioning to reduce mechanical stress from brushing and styling.

• Elasticizing lentil seed extract to reinforce hair fiber flexibility
• Mild surfactants that cleanse without stripping natural oils
• Lightweight moisturizing agents that avoid heaviness at the roots

Will this shampoo reduce breakage and split ends?

The formula reduces surface friction and helps hair resist breakage caused by tangling and manipulation, though it doesn't physically splice split ends. By strengthening and adding slip, MELU decreases the frequency of breakage and makes routine detangling gentler.

• Improves combability to minimize pulling while wet
• Reinforces fragile lengths to prevent snapping during styling
• Creates a glossy surface to lower friction between strands

How should I use MELU Shampoo for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, emulsify into a creamy lather and massage through lengths, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Rinse thoroughly and follow with the MELU conditioner or a reinforcing treatment for enhanced softness and protection.

• Use on wet hair, concentrate on long or damaged areas
• Pair with complementary Davines MELU products for stronger results
• Frequency: as needed based on scalp oils and routine styling

What sensory and ingredient highlights should I expect?

MELU Shampoo produces a soft, creamy foam and leaves hair with a natural, reflective shine rather than a heavy coating. The scent and texture are crafted for a pleasant salon-like experience while relying on plant-inspired actives and science-backed boosters.

• Creamy foam texture that rinses clean
• Pphenethyl benzoate provides noticeable shine without residue
• Made with high-quality natural ingredients and formulated in Italy

Who is this for: Davines MELU Shampoo is designed for people with long, fragile, or damage-prone hair who want a lightweight cleanser that protects elasticity and reduces breakage. It suits anyone seeking shinier, softer lengths without weighty silicones—especially those who regularly wear their hair long or use mechanical styling that stresses fiber integrity.
