Boise summers do a number on hair. The air dries out, the afternoon heat climbs, and by the time you walk from your car to your front door your blowout has quietly turned into a halo of frizz. We hear about it constantly behind the chair at our downtown studio on 104 S Capitol Blvd. So when clients ask us for one simple thing to take home that actually fights frizz in this climate, the Davines Love Smoothing Bundle is usually the first thing we hand them.
Here is an honest, behind-the-chair breakdown of what is in this set, who it is for, and who should probably skip it.
What is actually in the bundle
The Love Smoothing Bundle is a smoothing wash-and-leave-in set built around the Davines Love Smoothing line. It pairs the smoothing shampoo and conditioner so you have a matched routine instead of a random mix of bottles fighting each other. At 28.80 it is one of the easier ways to test the line without committing to full liter sizes right away.
The idea is simple. You shampoo and condition in the shower, then follow with the Love Smoothing perfector on damp hair before you blow-dry. That last step is where a lot of people see the difference, because the perfector is what helps your hair hold its smooth shape once the heat comes off it.
Who this bundle is for
We reach for this set with clients who have frizzy, coarse, or just plain rebellious hair. If your hair gets bigger the second there is humidity in the air, this is your lane. It is also a strong pick for thick, unruly hair, and that surprises people. You do not need pin-straight hair for this to work. Plenty of our wavy and curly clients use it to soften texture and cut down on flyaways without flattening their natural shape.
The other group that loves it is anyone who is tired of long blow-dry sessions. One of the most practical things this line does is make blow-drying faster and the finish sleeker. In a dry Idaho winter or a hot Boise August, shaving a few minutes off your styling time while getting a smoother result is a small luxury that adds up.
Who should skip it
Here is the honest part. If your main concern is fine, limp hair that needs volume, this is not the bundle for you. Smoothing products are designed to weigh hair down and calm it, which is the opposite of what fine hair usually needs. We would steer you toward a volumizing line instead.
It is also not a chemical smoothing treatment or a substitute for one. If you have very resistant frizz and you want results that last for months, the bundle will help between appointments, but the real fix is an in-salon service. Come talk to us and we will tell you straight whether home products are enough or whether a treatment makes more sense.
How we use it at Sølvi
Behind the chair we treat this set as a daily or weekly routine, not a one-time rescue. Frizz control is about consistency. Our stylists tell clients to use the shampoo and conditioner regularly, then keep the perfector handy for any day they plan to blow-dry or want a smoother finish. The line is gentle enough to live in your shower long term, which matters in Boise where the dry air means you are battling frizz and dryness at the same time.
One small tip from us. Do not overload damp hair with product. A little of the perfector goes a long way, and using too much is the fastest way to make smooth hair look greasy instead of polished.
Is it worth it?
For the right hair type, yes. The Love Smoothing Bundle is an easy, affordable entry into a smoothing routine that genuinely cuts frizz and makes styling quicker. It will not perform miracles on fine hair, and it is not a replacement for a salon smoothing service, but for coarse, thick, or humidity-prone hair it earns its spot on the shelf.
If you are not sure whether smoothing is the right move for your hair, that is exactly the kind of thing we sort out in person. Take a look at our salon services, then book an appointment and we will build a plan around your texture, your routine, and the way Boise weather actually treats your hair.
