Common questions.

Will this weigh my hair down?
No — it's a lightweight balm designed to absorb in 3 minutes and rinse out completely.
Is it safe for colour-treated hair?
Yes, it's formulated to be gentle on coloured and chemically treated hair. After a fresh colour service, follow your colourist's advice.
Can I use it as a leave-in?
It's designed to be rinsed out after 3 minutes rather than left in.
How often should I use it?
1–3 times a week, or whenever hair needs extra nourishment — after heat styling or a beach day, for example.
Is it suitable for a sensitive scalp?
It's applied to mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp. It contains essential oils, so patch test first if your scalp is reactive.
Is it cruelty-free and made in Australia?
Yes — every DAP product is cruelty-free and made in Sydney.
