The Alpecin Grey Attack Caffeine & Colour Shampoo is designed for consistent application to achieve its intended effect. The combination of caffeine and colour pigments works synergistically:
Colour Pigment Deposition: The colour pigments in the shampoo are gradually deposited onto the hair strands with each wash. This process subtly reduces the contrast of grey hair, blending it more naturally with your original hair colour. This gradual approach ensures the results look authentic, avoiding harsh, sudden changes.
Caffeine Stimulation: Simultaneously, the caffeine component penetrates the scalp and hair follicles. This is known to stimulate hair roots, promoting healthier hair growth and improving hair vitality. This dual action means you're not just colouring your hair, but also contributing to its overall strength and health.
To achieve optimal results:
Initial Phase: For the first few weeks, use the shampoo daily. This consistent application allows the colour pigments to build up gradually to your desired shade. For example, if you have significant grey, daily use will ensure the gradual blending is effective.
Maintenance Phase: Once you've reached your preferred level of grey reduction, you can alternate the Alpecin Grey Attack shampoo with your normal shampoo. This helps maintain the shade without over-darkening. For instance, you might use Grey Attack every other day, or 2-3 times a week, depending on how quickly your hair typically fades or grows.
Regular and correct use is key to enjoying the natural-looking grey reduction and stronger hair that the Alpecin Grey Attack shampoo offers.
