Tanino Therapy
Salvatore Tanino Therapy is the complete professional taninoplastia line from Salvatore: a salon system that smooths and cares for frizzy, curly or chemically treated hair with plant tannins instead of formaldehyde. The base is a two-step system, Cuticle Prepper (Step A) and Capillary Styling (Step B), extended with modular treatment steps you combine by hair goal. The result is supple and shiny and, with the right home care, lasts three to five months.
What makes Tanino Therapy different
Tanino Therapy works with tannin (taninoplastia), not with formaldehyde or glyoxylic acid. The active ingredients are plant tannins: tannic acid together with extracts of Stryphnodendron, Piptadenia and Tabebuia. They bind to the proteins in the hair fibre and are activated by the heat of the flat iron, so the cuticle aligns and the fibre is smoothed from within rather than only coated on the surface. No product in the line contains formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-releasing ingredient.
How the system works
The heart of the line is the smoothing treatment: Step A cleanses the hair deeply and prepares the cuticle, Step B applies the tannin and is sealed in with the flat iron. Around it sit modular treatment steps for hydration, a finishing oil, reconstruction and a separate curl range. You combine those steps into a bespoke protocol, exactly as the ready-made kits show: the letter codes refer to the steps they contain. After the salon treatment, your client keeps the result up at home with the matching home care.
Who it is for
Tanino Therapy is a professional line for stylists and salons. The treatment suits almost every hair type, including coloured, bleached or chemically treated hair, because the smoothing does not rely on formaldehyde. It is less suited if you are looking for a ready-made do-it-yourself treatment for home: the salon steps belong in professional hands, and at home you maintain the result with the matching home care.

Frequently asked questions
What is taninoplastia?
Taninoplastia is Salvatore's smoothing method based on tannin. Plant tannins bind to the proteins in the hair and are activated by the heat of the flat iron, so the fibre is aligned and smoothed. It works without formaldehyde and without glyoxylic acid.
Is Tanino Therapy formaldehyde-free?
Yes. No product in the line contains formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-releasing ingredient. The smoothing comes from the tannin system, not from formaldehyde or glyoxylic acid.
How long does the smooth result last?
Expect three to five months, depending on aftercare. With the matching Tanino Therapy home care you keep the result looking good for longest.
Which hair is Tanino Therapy suitable for?
Almost every hair type, including coloured, bleached or chemically treated hair. Because the smoothing does not rely on formaldehyde, it is a comfortable choice for sensitive or previously processed hair. A professional hair analysis beforehand is still recommended.
Do I only need Step A and Step B?
Step A and Step B form the base smoothing. You add the other treatment steps by hair goal: hydration, reconstruction or curl care. The protocol kits show, by letter code, which steps belong together.
