The Davines LOVE Smoothing range is designed to help manage frizz, improve softness and create a smoother, more polished finish. Two popular leave-in options from the range are the Davines LOVE Smoothing Lightweight Milk and Davines LOVE Smoothing Serum.
Both products provide heat protection, help control flyaways and offer long-lasting defence against humidity. However, their textures and levels of nourishment make them better suited to different hair types.
Understanding the difference between the LOVE Smoothing Lightweight Milk and LOVE Smoothing Serum can help you choose the right product without leaving your hair feeling undernourished or weighed down.

What Is Davines LOVE Smoothing Lightweight Milk?
Davines LOVE Smoothing Lightweight Milk is a leave-in styling milk created specifically for fine to medium hair that is prone to frizz.Its milky, fast-absorbing texture helps detangle and smooth unruly strands without leaving the hair feeling coated or heavy. This makes it especially suitable for finer hair types that need frizz control but can easily become flat when richer styling products are applied.
The formula helps improve manageability, enhance natural shine and leave the hair feeling soft and silky. It also provides heat protection up to 230°C, making it suitable for use before blow-drying, straightening or styling with heated tools.
Formulated with certified regenerative apple extract, the milk helps support a smoother appearance while keeping the hair light and touchable. It can provide up to 72 hours of frizz control, even in high-humidity conditions.
What Is Davines LOVE Smoothing Serum?
Davines LOVE Smoothing Serum is designed for thicker, coarser or more unruly hair that requires greater nourishment and control.
Compared with the Lightweight Milk, the serum has a more concentrated and moisturising texture. It helps smooth flyaways, soften coarse strands and lock in moisture while creating a sleek, polished finish.
Although it offers more nourishment than the milk, the formula is designed to leave the hair manageable rather than greasy or overloaded. It is a suitable choice for thick or highly frizzy hair that may not receive enough control from a very lightweight leave-in product.
The serum contains certified regenerative apple pulp extract, which is naturally rich in moisture-locking carbohydrates. It also provides heat protection up to 230°C and helps control frizz for up to 72 hours.
What Do the Two Products Have in Common?
Both LOVE Smoothing products are leave-in heat protectants formulated to make frizzy hair easier to style.
They can help:
- Control frizz and unruly strands
- Reduce the appearance of flyaways
- Improve softness and shine
- Protect hair from heat up to 230°C
- Provide frizz control for up to 72 hours
- Create a smoother, more polished finish
The main difference is not what they do, but how much moisture and control they provide.
Which Davines LOVE Smoothing Product Should You Choose?
Choose LOVE Smoothing Lightweight Milk if your hair is fine to medium, easily weighed down or only needs light smoothing and detangling. It offers effective frizz control while maintaining movement, body and a natural finish.
Choose LOVE Smoothing Serum if your hair is thick, coarse, very dry or particularly difficult to manage. Its more nourishing formula provides additional hydration and control for hair that needs a stronger smoothing effect.
For the best result, apply your chosen product to towel-dried hair before blow-drying or heat styling. Concentrate the application through the mid-lengths and ends, using only a small amount near the roots.
