Beardsgaard is a proud stockist of Davines, an exclusive professional haircare brand from Parma Italy, founded in 1983. About a century before that, the building that is now the home of Beardsgaard became a pharmacy that used science and nature to solve problems. Circle of life stuff there folks.

Carrying on this space’s proud apothecary tradition, let’s explore the Naturaltech line, designed to solve your hair and scalp problems.
Naturaltech, as the name implies, expresses Davines’ attention to nature and the environment with the awareness that technology, if correctly applied to nature, can express nature’s characteristics at their very best with full respect for the environment.
Energizing
~ENERGIZING products are specifically designed to solve problems of scalp and fragile hair that is prone to falling out, and to offer a preventative treatment for various forms of alopecia~
If you hair is thin or thinning, there is help. But, and this is a big but, prevention is far easier and more effective than restoration. This stuff won’t grow back hair that’s totally gone, but it will certainly thicken up what you have and help you keep it longer. It also has a side effect of making your hair grow faster, so if you’re growing it out, this is an excellent choice of line as well.
The Energizing family consists of four take-home products: Shampoo, Lotion (for hair loss prevention), Gel (for immediate thickening action) and Superactive (for alopecia and male pattern baldness sufferers).
This is not a daily use line, it is meant to target a specific problem and must be used on the schedule listed for each product to achieve the proper effect.
Phytoceuticals
All formulas are characterized by a high concentration of multipurpose active ingredients such as caffeine phytoceutical, combined with sirtuins and beta-glucans.
Caffeine stimulates the scalp’s cellular metabolism favoring tissue oxygen-action. Beta-glucans are biological polysaccharides that strengthen the immune defense, whilst sirtuins, which are known as the ‘proteins of longevity,’ carry out an effective antioxidant and anti-aging action by invigorating and strengthening the scalp.
Essential Oils
The fragrance contains cinnamon, ginger and black pepper essential oils to stimulate the microcirculation.
Energizing Shampoo
Mild shampoo that stimulates scalp microcirculation, for fragile scalps and hair that is prone to falling out, leading to faster, fuller hair growth.
How to use
Gently massage the product into damp hair, leave on for some minutes. Rinse off thoroughly and repeat application if necessary.
Frequency of Application
- Intensive treatment: every other day for 1 month
- Maintenance treatment: Twice a week for 2 months

Energizing Lotion

Energizing Gel
Preventative treatment/light styling aid for thin hair that may shed in a seasonal manner.
Applied to the scalp and hair regrowth, it invigorates and lightly fixes hair creating an additional light styling effect. In the case of seasonal hair loss, this acts as a preventative treatment slowing down the hair loss process by stimulating the metabolism, giving strength and body to fine or stressed hair.

Apply the product to damp hair after shampooing, lightly massaging in. Do not rinse off. Comb through and style as usual.
Frequency of Application

Energizing Superactive
Concentrated multi-active product to combat hormone-related hair loss.
Active ingredient
Enriched with Black cohosh extract, a perennial plant native to North America that inhibits the enzyme 5-α-reduttasiihydrotestosterone: by inhibiting this enzyme, it combats both androgenetic alopecia and the hyper-production of sebum, which may be associated with it.
Hair grows healthier and stronger, the scalp has more tone and lower sebum production.
How to use
After shampooing, spread a small amount of the product evenly over the scalp and massage in. Do not rinse off.
Frequency of Application
- Intensive treatment: every other day for 1 month
- Maintenance treatment: Twice a week for 2 months
After a brief pause, repeat the treatment if necessary.
