Why Asian Stylists Recommend It
Straight Asian hair in hard-water cities gets coated and dull from mineral and product buildup; a periodic clarifying wash resets it so hair feels light and products absorb, which a daily shampoo cannot clear.

Best for
Asian hair in hard-water cities that feels coated, heavy, or dull.
Avoid if
Skip for daily use, and follow with treatment if your hair is bleached or dry.
Why we recommend it
SOLU is Davines' deep-cleansing shampoo, and it earns its place the moment you move to a hard-water city — the exact problem behind our Hard Water Project. Minerals, styling product, and city pollution build up on straight Asian hair and leave it coated, heavy, and dull no matter how often you wash. SOLU strips that buildup so hair feels light and looks bright again, and so your regular products actually absorb. Use it occasionally, not daily: it is a reset, and on bleached or very dry hair, follow it with a treatment so the deep clean does not leave ends thirsty.
