Hair care and product evaluations in Germany

Overview

Discussions regarding hair care in Germany have transitioned from the biological aspects of hair aging to the evaluation of specific consumer products.

Initial reports focused on the natural aging process, noting that hair becomes thinner and loses pigment due to genetics and lifestyle factors like stress or UV exposure. Experts highlighted that shampoos designed to camouflage gray hair offer only temporary cosmetic effects rather than restoring melanin.

Subsequent reports shifted toward the performance and safety of drugstore hair care products. While some budget-friendly sprays were recommended for frizz reduction and heat protection, consumer testing by Öko-Test issued a ‘red card’ to several hair bleaching products. These were criticized as ‘chemical cocktails’ due to the presence of problematic dyes or pollutants, though certain brands were identified as better options for gentle lightening.
