OI Oil is a lightweight oil that adds softness and shine. We review the product and strip down its details to give you some talking points about this Salon Services favorite.

Davines OI Oil/Absolute Beautifying Potion is a product you can truly recommend to anyone and everyone. Launched in 2011, it’s a lightweight oil and complete favorite in the Davines line. We decided to review the product to give you some talking points with clients and highlight the best qualities of the product.

The oil is very light so it won’t weigh hair down, which is the best part—it’s NEVER greasy. Some oils make hair appear heavy and stringy after applying, but not this oil. The glossy shine creates definition that makes your highlights and hair color pop. This oil gives that little “extra something” to your look.

Main Ingredient: Roucou Oil

“It’s an oil extracted from the seeds of a fruit we find in the Amazon. The indigenous use this to protect themselves from the sun. It’s got anti-aging, anti-oxidant properties and beta-carotenes, which is what Roucou Oil is all about,” said Angelo Seminara, Davines Artistic Director.

Scent: Subtle, sweet vanilla. It’s a very light fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm, so it’s buildable with other products! If you like endless compliments, you’ll want this for your hair.

How to Use: Apply 2-3 squeezes of OI Oil to lengths and ends as a styling or finishing product. Use before blow-drying to detangle, smooth frizz and add heat protection. Use it after blow-drying for extreme shine and softness. For extra moisture, use it as an overnight treatment.

The oil is buildable, so start with one pump and add more pumps as needed. On fine hair, you may only need one pump.

Shine and softness are instantly noticeable with this product. It also tames frizzy ends and makes hair more manageable. OI Oil is a great product for someone with thirsty hair, whether you have fine or thick strands. It’s good at finishing the whole look and bringing it all together.
