FAQ - Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner

Yes, the Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner can be used daily.  The shampoo should be left on for two to five minutes. The ingredient 5,6-DHI accumulates in the hair during shampooing and reacts with the oxygen in the air to form a colour pigment. This creates a permanent colour effect that does not wash out but grows out with the hair. Once the desired colour result has been achieved, it can be used alternately with a usual conditioner.

The first visible effects of Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner can usually be expected after two to four weeks of regular use. However, the results may vary depending on the individual hair condition and the initial hair colour.

The Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner gradually darkens hair. The innovative ingredient 5,6-DHI is responsible for this. functionality is based on the natural formation of the dark colour pigment eumelanin in the hair. The hair can therefore become darker, but it is not possible to restore the natural shade of the hair, as this is very individual and depends on the ratio of dark eumelanin to light pheomelanin.

With conventional hair dyes or permanent colouration, the hair is swollen with hydrogen peroxide so that the dyes can penetrate better. In contrast, the Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner does not require aggressive chemicals. Here, the colour pigments are formed by a reaction with oxygen in the air. This natural pigmentation process is much gentler for the hair.

The innovative technology of Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner is based on the natural processes of hair colour formation. The use of 5,6-DHI, a precursor of the natural hair pigment eumelanin, enables gradual and permanent grey coverage that does not wash out. When the product is applied, the colour accumulates, penetrates the hair and forms large "dye chains" with the air. With regular use, more and more dye accumulates and a permanent hair colour develops that does not wash out, but grows out with the hair.

Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner can be used on brown to dark natural hair colour as well as dyed or tinted hair. It conceals the first grey hair or strands and can also be used on just a beginning grey hairline. The colour result varies depending on the original hair colour.

No, the Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner is not a classic colourant and can therefore be used without fear of discolouration. Neither your scalp nor your hands will become discoloured when you wash your hair. However, as with any colour conditioner, you should thoroughly wash off any conditioner residues after use.

To avoid discolouration of surfaces in the shower, washbasin or towels, rinse off rinse residue thoroughly. No discolouration is to be expected after rinsing and drying the hair.

We all turn grey at some point in our lives – some sooner and some later. Some people get their first grey hair in their 20s, while others don't notice the effects until they're in their 50s. 

How early someone starts to go grey depends, among other things, on genetic predisposition, but lifestyle can also have an influence. Statistically speaking, there are ethnic/regional differences, e.g. Europeans show grey hair earlier than Asians. Men also go grey earlier than women. 

Incidentally, hair does not actually turn grey, but rather white or transparent. This is because the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) at the hair roots produce less and less melanin over time. Over time, the melanocytes even die off completely. The colour pigment is then missing from the growing hair. This makes the hair grey or white. 

The Plantur 39 Color series was developed to refresh the colour of brown or blonde hair. The products contain high-quality colour pigments that attach themselves to the hair with every wash and ensure more colour brilliance.

In addition to colour pigments, Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner also contains the ingredient 5,6-DHI. This is deposited directly on the hair and reacts with the air, forming large "dye chains". With every hair wash, the hair colour gradually intensifies and remains permanently attached to the hair. The combination of colour pigments and DHI ensures a particularly intense colour result with good grey coverage.

Yes, Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner can also be used in combination with other Plantur 39 shampoos due to its strong colour performance. However, the strongest colour effect is together with the Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Shampoo Warm Tones.

The strength of Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner comes from darkening the hair. This happens regardless of the original hair colour. So a warm brown original hair colour will achieve an equally dark, warm brown shade, while a cool brown tone will result in a darker, cooler brown tone.

No, gloves are not necessary when using Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner. To avoid discolouration of surfaces in the shower, washbasin or towels, rinse off any remaining conditioner thoroughly. No discolouration is to be expected after rinsing and drying the hair.

The active principle of Plantur 39 Anti-Grey Effect Colouring Conditioner is based on the natural processes of hair colour formation. The use of 5,6-DHI, a precursor of the natural hair pigment eumelanin, enables gradual and permanent grey coverage that does not wash out
