Salvatore Tanino Therapy Daily Hair Nutrition Kit DE Step D + Step E 500g + 60ml is the professional nutrition-and-finish duo of the Tanino Therapy range: the Step D Water Replenishment moisture mask for a deep-conditioning service, and the Step E Essential Oils finishing oil that adds shine and shields the lengths from the heat of blow-drying and ironing. It splits the work the way the fibre needs it: the mask drives moisture back into thirsty lengths, the oil seals and protects the surface. Run as a back-bar finishing service, it leaves dry or heat-worked hair soft, glossy and easy to manage.

Why a mask plus an oil

Moisture and finish are two different jobs, and one product rarely does both well, so the kit pairs a mask with an oil. Step D, the Water Replenishment mask, is rich in moringa, macadamia and coconut oils with elastin and vitamins, and it drives water back into thirsty lengths as a deep-conditioning service. That is the reservoir. Step E, the Essential Oils finishing oil, is a lightweight oil carried on fast-spreading silicones with macadamia and coconut, and a few drops lay a thin, even film over the cuticle. That film does two things: it reflects light for shine and slip, and it lowers the friction between the hot iron or dryer and the strand, so the tool glides instead of dragging and the heat is spread rather than concentrated on one spot. Moisture first, then a sealed, protected surface: the mask feeds and the oil finishes, and neither changes the hair. See the full INCI of each on its product image.

What to expect

Expect dry or dull lengths to leave the chair softer and glossier, with the mask doing the deep moisture work and the oil keeping the ends smooth and shiny. Heat-worked hair combs out more easily and frizzes less, and the flat iron and dryer glide instead of dragging, which also means less heat stress on the strand. On coloured or often-styled lengths, where the surface is roughest, the change in shine and slip is the most obvious. It is a nutrition and finishing service, not a smoothing or straightening service, and it does not change the hair's structure.

Who it is for

• Dry, dull or frizz-prone hair that needs a deep-conditioning mask and a protected finish in one service
• Hair that is heat-styled often and needs shine and a lighter, heat-shielded finish before the iron
• Clients keeping up a salon result who need an easy mask-and-oil pairing between bigger services

Who it is not for

• Anyone after a smoothing or straightening result: this is nutrition and finishing care, not a smoothing service
• Fine hair that goes limp if the oil is used heavily rather than a few drops on the ends
• A stylist who reaches for the finishing oil as a deep mask instead of a light seal

Professional tip

Keep the mask to the mid-lengths and ends, off the scalp, and give it its full working time before you rinse, with gentle warmth on the most porous hair so the moisture is taken up rather than left sitting on the surface. With the oil, less is more: warm two to three drops in the palms and work them through the mid-lengths and ends, never the roots, before the blow-dry, so the lengths are protected as the heat goes on rather than after. Add a single drop over the dry finish to lift shine and tame flyaways. On fine hair, halve the amount; on coarse or very dry hair, build a second small pass rather than loading it all at once.

How to use

Read this as one back-bar service, not two products used at random. The mask is the deep-conditioning step and the oil is the finish and heat shield, so they run in that order: feed the fibre, then seal and protect it before any heat. The amounts below are a professional guide: cover the mid-lengths and ends without loading the scalp, more for long, dense or porous hair and less for fine or short hair. One kit covers many finishing services.

The order matters because the oil works best on a fibre that is already conditioned, and because heat protection has to go on before the iron, not after. Cleanse first so the mask lands on a clean, blotted fibre.

1. Prep and cleanse. Wash the hair with the Tanino Therapy shampoo and towel to damp. A mask meets the fibre and is taken up evenly only on clean, blotted hair, so this sets up how well the moisture step works.
2. Step D, deep-condition. Apply the Water Replenishment mask on the mid-lengths and ends, off the scalp, comb through and leave 20 to 30 minutes, with gentle warmth on porous hair, then rinse. Moringa, macadamia and coconut oils, elastin and vitamins drive water back into thirsty lengths, which is the reservoir the finish sits on.
3. Step E, protect before heat. Towel to damp, then warm two to three drops of the finishing oil in the palms and work them through the mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying. The fast-spreading silicones with macadamia and coconut lay a thin film that lets the dryer and iron glide, spreading the heat rather than concentrating it.
4. Finish. Style as usual, then smooth a single drop of the oil over the dry lengths to lift shine and tame flyaways, so the finish reads polished rather than dry. Send the client home on the Moisturizing Duo to keep the lengths fed between visits.
