ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment
Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment is a leave-on scalp serum with Fumaria Officinalis Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, and Tasmanian Pepper Leaf Extract that immediately soothes and hydrates a sensitised or dehydrated scalp — clinically shown to increase scalp hydration by 23% after a single use and improve skin barrier integrity by 15% over 28 days.
The Moda Team Review: A Treatment That Works From the First Application
The ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment is one of those rare products that has the clinical numbers to back up what clients feel the moment they use it. A sensitised, dehydrated scalp — tight, itchy, reddened, and reactive — is a scalp that isn't functioning well, and the consequences show in the hair: fragile roots, slow growth, increased fallout, and a scalp that doesn't respond well to colour or chemical services. This treatment addresses all of that at once: it soothes the inflammation, restores the hydration, reinforces the barrier, and brings the scalp back to a balanced baseline from which everything else performs better.
Application is post-cleanse, section by section, with a gentle massage and then blow-dried in — it becomes part of the wash-day routine, not an add-on. But Davines has also specified that it can be applied to a dry scalp throughout the day as needed, making it a genuine throughout-the-week treatment for chronically sensitised scalps. The formula is water-based and lightweight, leaves no residue, and doesn't interfere with any styling product. The anti-pollution activity (in vitro) is a bonus for urban clients whose scalp sensitisation is partly driven by environmental exposure.
Key Active Ingredient
Fumaria Officinalis (Fumitory) Extract — A botanical with historically documented anti-inflammatory and skin-regulating properties, selected by Davines for its ability to reduce scalp irritation and redness. It works alongside Lactobacillus Ferment — a probiotic-derived active that supports the scalp's microbiome balance and strengthens the skin barrier — and Tasmannia Lanceolata (Tasmanian Pepper) Leaf Extract, which provides additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection, to create a three-way approach to scalp recovery: reduce inflammation, reinforce the barrier, and protect from further environmental stress.
Moda Pro Tip
Communicate the dual-use protocol to clients at the initial recommendation: it applies post-cleanse in the shower, but it can also be applied to a dry scalp on non-wash days when itching or tightness flares up. For clients with chronic scalp sensitisation, that between-wash application is often what tips the balance from "temporarily better" to "genuinely under control." A small amount goes a long way on dry scalp.
How To Use
- Cleanse scalp with an appropriate NATURALTECH shampoo.
- Apply section by section, or to localised areas of the scalp.
- Massage gently.
- Proceed with blow-dry — do not rinse out.
- Can also be applied to dry scalp throughout the day as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment do for the scalp?
It immediately soothes and hydrates a sensitised or dehydrated scalp, reducing itching and redness. Clinically tested: scalp hydration increased 23% after a single application, skin barrier integrity improved 10% immediately and 15% after 28 days of regular use. It also provides anti-pollution activity (in vitro tested).
Is the Davines ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment a rinse-out or leave-in product?
It's a leave-in. It's applied post-shampoo, massaged in, and then blow-dried through. It can also be applied to dry scalp throughout the day whenever scalp discomfort arises — no rinsing required in either case.
Who should use the Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment?
Clients with sensitised, dehydrated, or reactive scalps — including those experiencing itching, redness, or tightness from colour services, environmental exposure, stress, or a compromised scalp barrier. It's also beneficial for scalps that are chronically reactive and don't fully recover between washes.
What are Fumaria Officinalis and Lactobacillus Ferment doing in the Davines ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment?
Fumitory Extract reduces scalp inflammation and redness. Lactobacillus Ferment — a probiotic-derived active — supports the scalp's microbiome balance and strengthens the skin barrier. Together with Tasmanian Pepper Extract, they address scalp reactivity from three angles simultaneously.
Can I use the Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment with the CALMING Shampoo?
Yes — for a chronically sensitised scalp, the CALMING Shampoo combined with the ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment as a leave-in creates a comprehensive routine. The shampoo gently cleanses without triggering reactivity, and the Treatment provides ongoing soothing and barrier repair throughout the day.
