- 1. Choose Your Method: Apply pre-styling to towel-dried hair for slip and protection, or as a finishing touch on dry hair for maximum shine. Both work beautifully.
- 2. Dispense: Pump into your palm based on hair type — 1 pump for fine hair, 2-3 for medium or thick, more for very coarse or curly. A little goes a long way.
- 3. Warm Between Palms: Rub the oil between your hands to warm and evenly distribute it before applying.
- 4. Apply: Smooth through the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots. Work from the back of the head outward for the most natural distribution.
- 5. Style or Finish: If applied pre-style, proceed with blow-drying or hot-tool styling. If applied as finish, gently fluff or smooth hair into place.
- 6. Pro Tip: OI Oil is also a beautifully scented multi-tasker beyond hair — dab a tiny amount onto cuticles, dry knuckles, or rough elbows for a quick refresh. For maximum shine and frizz control, layer OI All In One Milk on damp hair first, then finish with 1-2 pumps of OI Oil on dry hair. The 50 ml travel size is small enough for any carry-on bag, which is exactly where most of us end up keeping a second bottle.
What is Davines OI Oil used for?
Davines OI Oil is a multi-functional hair oil used to add shine, soften strands, control frizz, and provide UV protection to all hair types. The formula combines Amazonian Roucou oil with Mauritia flexuosa (Buriti) fruit oil, sunflower seed oil, and vitamin E to nourish and protect, while a lightweight silicone complex delivers slip and visible shine without weighing hair down. It can be applied to towel-dried hair before styling or as a finishing touch on dry hair, and is particularly effective for coarse, dry, curly, or coily hair.
Will Davines OI Oil make hair greasy or weigh down fine hair?
No, Davines OI Oil is formulated to be weightless and non-greasy, making it suitable for fine and thin hair as well as coarse types. The formula uses lightweight, volatile silicones that distribute the active oils evenly without leaving buildup or oily residue. For fine hair, Davines recommends starting with just 1 pump applied only to the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the roots. Reviewers with fine hair consistently report shine and softness without flatness or weight.
Does Davines OI Oil provide UV or heat protection?
Davines OI Oil contains a built-in UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, also known as octinoxate), which provides protection against sun-induced damage, dryness, and colour fade. While the oil offers some thermal buffer when applied before heat styling, it is not classified as a dedicated heat protectant. For full heat protection up to 230°C, Davines recommends pairing OI Oil with OI All In One Milk, which provides certified heat protection.
OI Oil

Oil. But, finally, weightless.
Meet OI Oil, Davines' multifunctional "absolute beautifying potion" and one of the most beloved hair oils on the planet. The genius of this formula isn't just what it does — it's what it doesn't do. It doesn't sit heavy on hair. It doesn't leave a greasy film. It doesn't weigh down fine strands or build up into that dreaded crispy residue. Apply it once and you'll understand why reviewers describe their hair as feeling "like cotton" and shining "like glass."
Powered by Roucou oil, the Amazonian Achiote extract that contains 100 times more beta-carotene than carrots, plus Mauritia flexuosa (Buriti) fruit oil, another Amazonian botanical prized by Indigenous communities for protecting hair against sun and harsh climate. Add sunflower seed oil, vitamin E, and a built-in UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) and you've got a product that simultaneously fights frizz, boosts shine, detangles, protects from environmental damage, and conditions every fibre — without the trade-offs that usually come with traditional oils.
Use it before styling for slip and protection, or as a finishing touch for that mirror-glass shine. Works beautifully on every hair type, especially coarse, dry, curly, and coily hair. The signature OI fragrance — warm, slightly sweet, with thyme, pine, musk, and amber — lasts for days. Award-winning, vegan, made in Italy. A genuine cult product, for genuine reason.
