Salvatore Tanino Therapy steps A to O: which step does what, and which kit is which protocol?
Salvatore Tanino Therapy is a system of letters: Step A and Step B are the tannin smoothing, and steps D, E, F, G, J, M, N and O are separate products you use alongside that smoothing. You do not need all of them; you choose per client. Salvatore bundles the fixed combinations as kits, and every kit is in effect a protocol with a name: ABG, ABFD, MBFNO. What a taninoplastia itself is lives in our taninoplastia explained guide; this page is about the letters.
The whole line is on the Tanino Therapy page.
What do Step A and Step B do?
Step A is the Cuticle Prepper shampoo; the 500 ml bottle says it was developed to clean the fibre, applied 2 to 3 times as required. Step B is the Capillary Styling tannin conditioner: after the shampoo you remove 50% of the moisture with a dryer, apply B, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, rinse it out completely, then flat-iron slowly in thin sections at least 10 to 20 times. Together they are the smoothing; everything that follows builds on it. Both come in 500 and 1000 ml, and together as an A+B kit.
Which step does what?
Per letter: the product and its page; for M and N also what the bottle prescribes.
Which kit is which protocol?
A Salvatore kit is a fixed combination of letters. Read the letters and you read the protocol.
There is also the Tanino Therapy treatment kit 2500 ml; its composition is on the product page.
How do you combine the letters?
The N bottle says the mask goes on hair washed with the Tanino Therapy shampoo, and Step A and B print 'exclusive use of Tanino Therapy line'. We go no further than the bottles.
Our rule for a salon just starting out: buy A+B and one letter that fits your clients; with a lot of curls in your chair, that is M and N. The kits show which combinations Salvatore itself treats as a protocol; anyone torn between this system and Blue Gold reads our Tanino Therapy vs Blue Gold comparison first.
Which sizes do the steps come in?
Step A and B in 500 and 1000 ml; Step G and the mask N in 500 ml; the shampoo M in 1000 ml. The A+B kit 2x100 ml is the trial size; a salon that runs the smoothing weekly rebuys A more often than B and therefore works with single litres.
What do you watch for when working with the steps?
The Step A and B bottles print: avoid contact with the eyes and rinse thoroughly with running water if it happens; stop at any irritation or abnormal reaction and seek medical advice. External use only, out of reach of children and pets. We also recommend an allergy test before Step B. The home care we recommend after each treatment is in our guide to which Salvatore home care after which treatment.
