Salvatore Tanino Therapy A + B (2x100ml) brings together two 100ml bottles of the line: A, the Cuticle Prepper shampoo, and B, Capillary Styling, the bottle with the plant tannins. B stays on at least 30 minutes, is rinsed, and is then flat-ironed in thin sections at least 10 to 20 times. The same pair comes in larger bottles as the A + B kit 2x500ml.

What each bottle is for

A is the shampoo of the line, on a list that starts with surfactants and salt. B is the step with the plant tannins, on a conditioning base of silicones, butters and oils. Its directions open with its own line: after washing with shampoo, remove 50% of moisture with a dryer. B is rinsed before the flat iron.

Key ingredients: A

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate: the cleansing surfactant, 2nd on the list.
• Sodium Chloride: salt, 3rd.
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine: a second surfactant, 4th.

After water, these are the first entries on the A list, in this order.

Key ingredients: B

Plant tannins with hydrolyzed keratin and collagen, and conditioning butters and oils. The bottle prints the full ingredient list.

Who it is not for

• Anyone sensitive to the fragrance allergens named on the ingredient lists. A: Amyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool. B: Coumarin, Cinnamal, Cinnamyl Alcohol.
• Anyone who reacts during use: the B label says to stop in case of an abnormal reaction.
