If you have ever stood in front of a shelf of styling products and felt completely lost, you are not alone. We hear it every week behind the chair at Sølvi Salon. One product our stylists keep reaching for, both in the studio and at home, is the Oi Bundle with Oi All in One Milk from Davines. This guide walks you through what it is, how it works, who it suits, and who might want to skip it. No fluff, just what we actually know from using it on real heads of hair here in downtown Boise.
You can find it on our shelves and on our product page for $38.70.
What the Oi All in One Milk Actually Is
The Oi All in One Milk is a weightless softener. That word "weightless" matters, and we will come back to it. It is built around roucou oil, a Brazilian botanical oil that softens and smooths the hair without coating it in heavy residue. The finish is antioxidant rich, which helps tame flyaways and calm frizz. It also carries the signature Oi scent that the Davines Oi line is known for, a warm note that tends to linger through the day without being overpowering.
It is a leave-in product, so it does not rinse out. You apply it and you are done. For people who want fewer steps and less time in the bathroom, that simplicity is a big part of the appeal.
How to Use It at Home
The application is simple, and getting it right makes all the difference. Start with clean, damp hair. Towel dry until it is no longer dripping. Dispense a small amount, smaller than you think, and warm it between your palms. Work it through your mid lengths and ends first, then lightly through the rest. Comb it through so it distributes evenly, then style as usual, whether you air dry or blow dry.
The most common mistake we see is using too much. This is a milk, not a heavy cream, and a little goes a long way. If your hair feels limp by midday, scale back next time. Fine hair especially needs only a pea-sized amount.
Why It Works for Boise Hair
Idaho is dry. Our high desert air pulls moisture out of hair year round, and winter heating only makes it worse. That dryness is what creates the frizz, the static, and the dull, thirsty look so many of our guests walk in with. A weightless softener like this one addresses that without the greasy heaviness that some richer oils leave behind. You get smoothness and shine while your hair still moves naturally.
Our stylists reach for it after a blowout to add polish, and we send a lot of guests home with it after color services to help maintain softness between visits. If you want to see how we use it in a full service, take a look at our services menu.
Who It Is For, and Who It Is Not
This product works across hair types, from fine to coarse, which is part of why we like keeping it in the studio. Fine hair benefits because it adds softness without dragging the hair down. Coarse and dry hair benefits because the roucou oil smooths and calms without sitting on top.
Here is the honest part. If your hair is very oily at the roots, or if you already use a heavy leave-in conditioner and like that weight, this may feel too light for you. Some people want a product they can really feel, and a weightless milk is intentionally subtle. It will not give you a heavy, slicked finish. If that is what you are after, this is not your match, and that is okay. We would rather point you to the right product than sell you the wrong one.
Getting the Most Out of It
A few small habits stretch this product further. Apply it to damp hair rather than dry, since the milk distributes better and absorbs more evenly when there is some moisture to carry it. Layer it under your usual styling routine instead of on top of finished hair. And store it out of direct sunlight, which helps preserve the antioxidant benefits over time.
If you are new to the Davines Oi line, this is a low-risk place to start. It does one job, it does it well, and it plays nicely with almost any other product you already own.
