            • Washable colour effect: Colour gradually washes out with regular shampoo

            Alpecin Tuning Shampoo is suitable for dark blonde to black hair. Its intensive pigments help maintain the hair's dark colour while the Caffeine complex strengthens the hair roots.

            The dark shade is preserved by the shampoo's pigments, leaving the hair looking darker and fuller. When used early, it can delay the appearance of the first grey hairs. The colour effect is subtle and becomes more pronounced with regular use, but it gradually washes out when a regular shampoo is used. For optimal results, use daily and leave it on for 2–5 minutes before rinsing.

            Tuning Shampoo is designed to conceal the first grey hairs or to maintain dark hair's natural colour. However, on lighter-coloured hair, the results may appear less natural.

            Yes, Tuning Shampoo is suitable for daily use on dark blonde to black hair. With each application, the colour pigments accumulate, creating a more intense colour effect over time. This effect gradually washes out when a regular shampoo is used. Additionally, the Caffeine complex activates the hair roots, with its effects detectable after just 2 minutes of application.

            The colour intensity and Caffeine absorption increase with the exposure time. For best results, leave Tuning Shampoo on the scalp for 2–5 minutes, from application to rinsing. The colour effect develops gradually with regular use and is washed out over time when a regular shampoo is used.

            The hair effect

            The Caffeine complex in Tuning Shampoo strengthens the hair roots. Daily use ensures the hair roots are supplied with activating Alpecin Caffeine, which can be detected after just 2 minutes of application.

            No, this is not possible because the tuning process is very gentle. Alpecin Tuning Shampoo is not a colouring agent or permanent hair dye, so it can be used without concern for discolouration. Neither the scalp nor the hands will become discoloured during hair washing.

            To prevent discoloration of surfaces or textiles, ensure that shampoo residues are rinsed off thoroughly.

            By starting to use Alpecin Tuning Shampoo early, you can delay the appearance of your first grey hairs. During daily shampooing, powerful colour pigments are deposited on the hair, allowing dark hair to stay dark and concealing the first grey hairs with regular use.

            Apply the shampoo and leave it on for 2–5 minutes before rinsing. The colour effect intensifies the longer you leave it on. With daily use, the first results are typically visible after approximately 4–5 applications, depending on your natural hair colour.
