How to maintain gray and white hair?

White and gray hair deserves only the best care. Natural or color-treated, it demands perfection: no brassy tones and only beautifully soft and bouncy hair will do.

Which natural ingredients are best for gray or white hair?

White hair’s fragile fiber needs to be strengthened while avoiding brassy tones. To take care of it, René Furterer Laboratories selected natural-origin Okara extract for its repairing properties and corrective violet pigments for a toning effect.

Natural-origin Okara extract for its repairing properties

Grown in southwest France, this plant-based key ingredient from soybeans restores structure and resilience to white hair. It contains protein, including amino acids (methionine and cysteine) similar to those found in keratin. High in essential fats and sugar, it provides white hair with the elements needed to restore the fiber.

Violet pigments to neutralize brassy, yellow tones

Violet is the complementary color of yellow in the chromatic circle. Together, they cancel each other out: purple light combined with yellow light gives white light. When applied to hair, violet pigments help neutralize brassy, yellow tones without actually coloring the hair.
 

Are silicone-free products better for the hair?

Conventional cosmetics have driven the success of silicone: silicone leaves irresistible softness. But under what conditions?

Silicone coats the surface without treating: an inert substance, silicone provides no hair care benefits at all. Quite the opposite, its coating and occlusive properties form an insulating layer that hinders the key ingredients.

René Furterer prefers silicone-free formulas: because silicone only has a surface action, but does not treat the hair at all, René Furterer opts for silicone-free formulas that are rich in 100% natural-origin key ingredients.
