- 33.7% Less Breakage from Brushing: Clinically tested with the full MELU routine over 4 weeks.
- Heat Protection up to 230°C / 446°F: Shields the hair from blow-dryers, flat irons, and curling wands.
- Anti-Pollution Shield: Blocks deposits of nickel, cadmium, and lead from urban air pollution.
- UV Protection: Built-in Mexoryl SX filter prevents sun-damage to colour and structure.
- Lightweight, Invisible Finish: Ultra-fine mist with no weight, no residue, no buildup.
- Regenerative Organic Certified™ Black Chickpea Extract: sourced from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy; polysaccharides form a protective film, antioxidants preserve hair structure
- Hydrolyzed Corn Starch: plant-derived film-forming polymer that strengthens the hair against brushing and styling stress
- Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid (Mexoryl SX): broad-spectrum UV filter that protects hair colour and structure from sun damage
- Inulin (Plant-Derived Prebiotic): supports a balanced scalp microbiome for healthier hair growth
- Vegan, 97% Naturally Derived, 94.5% Biodegradable, Made in Italy: B Corp certified Davines packaging
- 1. Towel-Dry After Washing: Squeeze excess water out so the formula penetrates rather than dilutes on contact.
- 2. Apply 10 to 15 Sprays: Distribute evenly across the lengths and ends. Short hair needs fewer sprays; long or thick hair needs the full 15.
- 3. Comb Through to Distribute: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to spread the product evenly from mid-lengths down.
- 4. Do Not Rinse: This is a leave-in product. The protective film forms as the hair dries.
- 5. Dry and Style as Desired: Blow-dry, air-dry, or apply heat tools up to 230°C / 446°F.
- 6. Pro Tip: For maximum heat protection on flat irons or curling wands, layer MELU Spray on damp hair, blow-dry, then re-spray a light pass on dry hair before applying the iron : the second pass reinforces the protective film without weighing the hair down. For everyday wear without heat styling, the single application on damp hair is enough.
What is MELU Spray used for?
MELU Spray by Davines is a leave-in protective mist that delivers three protections in one application: anti-breakage (33.7% less breakage from brushing in a 4-week clinical trial), heat protection up to 230°C / 446°F for hot tools, and anti-pollution shielding against nickel, cadmium, and lead deposits from urban air. The revamped formula is built around Regenerative Organic Certified™ black chickpea extract from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy. Apply 10 to 15 sprays to towel-dried hair after washing : no rinse, no residue.
How well does MELU Spray actually protect against heat damage?
The Davines MELU Spray is rated for heat protection up to 230°C / 446°F : higher than most flat irons (typically 180 to 220°C) and curling wands. The hydrolyzed corn starch and black chickpea polysaccharides form a protective film around each strand that buffers the cuticle against direct heat exposure, preventing the moisture loss and protein damage that hot tools cause. For best results, apply on damp hair before blow-drying, then re-mist lightly on dry hair before flat-ironing or curling.
Is MELU Spray a leave-in conditioner or a heat protectant?
Both, and more. The Davines MELU Spray is a multi-functional leave-in treatment that works as a heat protectant, anti-breakage shield, and anti-pollution barrier simultaneously. Unlike traditional leave-in conditioners that focus on moisture and softening, MELU Spray prioritizes structural protection : it reinforces hair fibres rather than coating them with silicones or oils. For hair that needs additional hydration on top of protection, layer with MOMO Conditioner during the wash routine or apply MOMO Serum to towel-dried lengths before MELU Spray.
Hair insurance, in spray form.
MELU Spray has been reformulated : red lentil replaced by Regenerative Organic Certified™ black chickpea extract from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy. The leave-in mist delivers three protections at once : 33.7% less breakage during brushing, heat shielding up to 230°C / 446°F for blow-dryers and irons, and anti-pollution protection against nickel, cadmium, and lead deposits from urban air. Hydrolyzed corn starch and chickpea polysaccharides form an invisible protective film without weighing the hair down.
Best for long, fragile, colour-treated, or chemically-processed hair. Apply 10 to 15 sprays to towel-dried hair after washing : no rinse, no residue. Texture: ultra-light, invisible mist. Scent: sunlit citrus and spice over fresh florals, soft woods, and musk. Vegan, 97% naturally derived, 94.5% biodegradable. Made in Italy.
