Following the launch of The Present Time, our new demi-permanent hair colour line, we’ve got a new wave of looks from Davines Hair Art Director Tom Connell, blending colour, cut and styling. 

The world moves fast, and you want a look that moves with it. A look that captures you in the moment - your personality, your mood, your energy - inspired by the here and now. Maybe you’ll change it again soon. No matter. Take a breath, and together let’s honour The Present Time.

Look 01: Colour Graduation Red 

It starts off subtle, with dark tones at the nape of the neck. But gradually, seamlessly, the vibrancy builds to a crescendo of intense red wine at the front of the hairline. Let’s give a standing ovation for Colour Graduation Red. 

Maintain your look at home

  • OI Shampoo, a milky-smooth softening shampoo infused with nourishing Roucou oil to maintain soft, shiny and voluminous hair
  • OI Hair Butter, a nourishing, anti-frizz hair butter that immediately leaves hair extraordinarily soft and bright.

Look 02: Celtic Copper 

Discover a deep earthy Celtic copper colour with a long, lightly diffused shape that can be worn wavy or straight, depending on your mood. Alternating between light-to-dark and dark-to-light gradients that flow vertically in contrasting directions, this clever look creates vibrant multidimensional colour that will definitely get you noticed for all the right reasons.

Look 03: Living Palette 

You are a work of art. Now your hair can be too. This eye-catching look is an abstract example of the intricate simplicity of primary colours, reflecting the paintings of Piet Mondrian with a patchwork of red, blue, yellow, violet and green. A living representation of a hair shade chart, it features strategically placed panels of colour to create uneven balance, styled wet for a reflective shine that’s all you. 

Maintain your look at home

  • OI Shampoo and OI Conditioner, dedicated softening products infused with nourishing Roucou oil to moisturise and help keep hair soft and shiny, with great volume.
