Apply a small amount of the product and spread evenly on the test area. Allow to dry. Leave on for 48 hours then wash off with soap and water.

5,6-DHI Repigments the Hair
5,6-Dihydroxyindole, or 5,6-DHI for short, is a preliminary stage of the natural hair pigment melanin. When applied, 5,6-DHI binds directly to the hair, penetrates the hair shaft, and forms color molecule chains in the hair with oxygen. The hair becomes darker.
Caffeine Recharges the Hair
Caffeine has been known for over 20 years for its special relevance in scalp-focused formulations.
Due to its molecular properties, it can be incorporated into scalp and hair care routines to help refresh the scalp and maintain healthy-looking hair.
It remains one of the most explored plant-derived ingredients in the context of scalp and hair care.
Other Beneficial Ingredients
Zinc and niacin promote energy metabolism and can improve nutrient supply to the hair.
Works Best for Light Brown to Black hair
CAUTION: May cause violet discoloration on white hair.
Use daily
Use daily for the first few weeks until the desired color result is achieved.
Adjustable color intensity
The color intensity can be controlled by the exposure time and frequency of application. A visible color effect is possible after 15-25 applications.
