All about: Davines's all new The Let it Go Circle

When I first started writing about beauty, finding natural products was near impossible, especially at a time when online shopping for green goodies wasn’t that easy and New Zealand was woefully under resourced. Since then, the genre has grown leaps and bounds, and that includes conscious, eco-friendly products for your hair.

A name that is above reproach when it comes to caring for the planet and its humans is Italian beauty brand, Davines. The environmentally conscious house offers a fantastic colour service in the form of A New Colour - which utilises the likes of melanin, Vitamin C, quartz powder and vegetable vaseline to provide velvety, multifaceted results – and their product offering is vast, and flawless. 

I’ve been using their range of foolproof scalp and hair masks known as The Circle Chronicles since its launch last year, and love the combos one can cook up depending on your needs. Each mask is unique and dedicated to a specific hair and/or scalp issue and you can also use them to “multi mask” according to where your hair is at on any given day. Formulated with a high percentage of natural ingredients such as clays, charcoal and seed oils, they are created using 100 per cent renewable energy sources and feel and smell incredible. Vegan, silicone-free and without parabens, they also contain no artificial colours – it is the natural-origin active ingredients that give each mask its own unique hue. They come in cute little packets that are single-use and highly portable, and the packaging is CO2 neutral, fighting climate change by offsetting 100 per cent of their carbon emissions through reforestation. My favourite has always been The Spotlight Circle, which delivers serious shine and is perfect if you’re preparing for a party or important event, but it might just have some serious competition from the recently unveiled sixth mask added to the line. 

Created with relaxation in mind, the Let It Go mask is perfect for those of us who like to sit back and take a moment to unwind, either at home or in the salon. It's packed with anti-inflammatory and hydrating ingredients, and is a super speedy way to transform stressed, post-summer tresses. Resembling skincare for your hair, it’s enriched with Ayurvedic Brahmi Oil to relieve stress, relax the mind and intensely condition hair; sweet orange essential oils to further moisturise and impart a beautifully balancing scent and, finally, 100 per cent natural grey clay to absorb impurities and further nourish strands. It’s brilliant alone or combined with another of Davines’ The Circle Chronicles Masks for a multi-masking benefit, and I am properly in love. This little packet of goodness comes in at under $20 for at home use and honey – you’re worth it.
