Alpecin Tuning Shampoo - 200ml

Alpecin Tuning Shampoo – 200 ml is a daily leave-on hair cleanser and tuning shampoo formulated with a caffeine complex alongside activating micronutrients such as zinc PCA and niacinamide. This energising formula helps deliver the actives directly to the hair follicles during washing, where caffeine can be detected after just a short application time. Daily use supports scalp vitality and hair strength while refreshing the appearance of darker hair tones by depositing subtle colour pigments that make hair appear deeper and fuller with each wash.

This product is primarily designed for people with dark blonde to black hair who want to maintain their natural shade and address early signs of greying while supporting hair root activity. The colour-enhancing effect develops gradually and is meant to be subtle rather than sudden or dramatic, and it washes out with regular shampooing.

Key features:

• Caffeine + zinc + niacinamide complex supports hair root vitality.

• Deposits intensive pigments to help hair look darker and fuller.

• Designed for dark blonde to black hair tones.

• Gentle enough for daily use.

Directions for use:

1. Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
2. Apply a small amount of Alpecin Tuning Shampoo to damp hair and massage gently into the scalp and lengths to create a light lather.
3. Leave the shampoo on the hair and scalp for 2–5 minutes to allow the caffeine complex and colour pigments to work.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
5. Repeat daily or as part of a regular hair-washing routine.
