I often feel a bit awkward recommending this product since I can’t pronounce its name properly. How are you supposed to say “OI Oil” without looking like you’re doing a weird facial exercise? Regardless, I recommend it a lot. After testing tons of smoothing creams and serums that claim to tame frizzy hair, this product still stands out as one of the best.
Let’s talk about Davines OI Oil. I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce “Davines” or the “OI” part, but don’t let that stop you. That’s one of the perks of online shopping, right? You can order things without needing to pronounce them out loud. Plus, it saves you from any awkward face-to-face purchases.
For instance, buying embarrassing items at the pharmacy usually doesn’t faze me anymore. It’s more amusing to think about the potential combinations that might be awkward, like a cucumber, some lard, and a packet of condoms. Thankfully, I’ve never found myself in that situation!
Back to the point. I’m confused about whether you shout “OI Oil” or if it’s pronounced differently. But shouting doesn’t seem to fit the brand’s sophisticated image. Davines is a high-end, top-performing haircare brand, and everything I’ve tried from them has been fantastic.
OI Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion is a hair serum that behaves more like a lightweight oil. It’s perfect for those with fine hair that can easily be weighed down. You get the shine and conditioning effects from the roucou oil without greasiness. Just don’t overdo it—apply about the size of a 10p coin for long hair. It helps smooth, tame, and polish without making your hair heavy.
Using OI Oil makes my hair look sleek and smooth, but not in an overly straightened way—it just looks healthy. I use it on days when my hair looks a bit messy, and it transforms from dry and unkempt to healthy and well-maintained.
Davines OI Oil is incredibly versatile. You can massage it into damp hair before air-drying, use it before blow-drying, smooth it over dried ends for frizz control, or spread a small amount through the lengths of your hairstyle to add polish and shine.
I often use OI Oil on neglected, tangled hair that’s been left to dry into a messy bird’s nest. It works wonders on my fine, color-treated hair, making it look more than just presentable. Despite its silicone-heavy formula being similar to other products, this one works exceptionally well for my fine, blonde hair.
You can find Davines OI Oil online—it costs £24 for a small bottle or £35 for a large one, almost three times the size. The small bottle lasts a long time, but considering the price difference, going for the larger bottle might be more economical.
