Hair coloring is a procedure that can magically transform the look. But in order to get shine and strength with the new color and not lose health, it is recommended to use professional products, and not paints from a mass market with a rather aggressive composition. One of the recognized leaders among manufacturers of salon products for 95 years is the Keune brand.
About brand
Keune is a brand of beauty products and hair-dyes from Holland. Chemist and pharmacist Jan Kyune (Jan Keune) in the distant 1922 opened a pharmacy with a small production in it in the central region of Amsterdam. Soon Keune came up with its own hot-curling formula and launched Securit HB-G Lotion into mass production. The tool quickly gained popularity in Holland and neighboring countries. The Keune brand steadfastly endured the 30-40s for Europe and flourished in the postwar period.
Jan Keune experimented tirelessly, trying to ensure that his products with maximum efficiency did not harm. In 1951, one of his main inventions appeared, for which he received a patent: a cold perm based on the formula of nitron. A little later, the image of the nitron molecule became the logo of the brand, personifying its principles: innovation and safety.
The range of the brand expanded, replenished with innovative developments: paints with a caring composition, hair sprays, the first in Europe production of aerosol sprays, persistent dyes without ammonia. The company was one of the first to market styling mousse.
In 1990, after the launch of the Tinta series, a patent was obtained for the LP300 stabilizer, which can be incorporated into the hair structure as much as possible. Another patented technology was the use of 100% plant extracts for paints.
Environmentally friendly products is one of the principles of the company.
Keune Factory is located in a beautiful corner of Holland, the city of Souste, surrounded by dense forests. The state-of-the-art production, in which the son of the founder George Keune Sr. (George Keune) took part in the project, does not cause any harm to the environment. Behind this is a constant monitoring, because a small Holland tremulously preserves its natural resources.
Being traditionally a family business, the company values a good reputation, bringing each product to perfection. Today, Keune Haircosmetics has offices in more than 70 countries around the world, while continuing to maintain the high standard of quality, professionalism and social responsibility declared by the founder.
