Keen hair dye with its inimitable palette was created by Ewald. The company began its history in 1940 in Germany. Its founder is a German hairdresser from the city of Frauenwald named Robert Schmidt.
Initially, he made eau de toilette for hair, which included mountain herbs. For several years, the company has been developing and producing eau de toilette, a hair elixir based on birch sap and cologne. However, the real breakthrough was the preparation for cold perm.
The organization is a family business led by a descendant of the founder, Robert Ewald, who manages the production process. In 2009 Ewald starts production of a creative professional line, which becomes the pinnacle of the company's development - TM KEEN. Translated from English, keen means to strive, to passionately want something.
Keen hair dye, with a palette of more than 60 shades, was launched after the care and styling products of the same line.
The paint has a soft consistency, which guarantees comfort and pleasant sensations during the application period, eliminating the inconvenience. The composition contains exclusively natural elements, which makes it possible to achieve the desired effect.

Keen hair dyes are a high-quality creation, its palette of shades was created by a team of German specialists using ultra-modern technologies that provide full-fledged hair care.
The composition of paints includes unique components:
- Keratins - fibrillar proteins with mechanical properties to resist destruction. Keratins are the constituents of the skin's epidermis. They are part of the natural composition of nails and hair.
- Milk protein - an inorganic crystalline substance that accelerates the course of biochemical interactions and is of significant importance in the process of metabolism.
- Panthenol - a substance, the main component of which is a group of vitamins that are of great importance in cellular metabolism. This substance is used to moisturize and treat various skin imperfections in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
- Hydrolyzed silk - a natural substance that, during a chemical reaction of interactivity with water, collapsed and formed new, easily digestible elements.
Additional components are: minerals, vitamins, aromatic oils.
Staining safety
Keen paint has been developed for high quality dyeing. Thanks to unique developments, it works in a gentle mode for curls and scalp, at the same time gives them a radiance and a stable tone. One of the components of the dye is ammonia. This substance is alkali. It is necessary in order to open the outer layer (cuticle) and penetrate the colored dye deep into the hair.
Ammonia is known to irritate the skin, up to and including an allergic reaction. In this regard, international standards have been developed, according to which the amount of alkali in the paint should not exceed 6%. All Keen dyes contain no more than 3% oxidant. Thanks to this, the coloring is absolutely safe for the skin and hair and does not cause allergies.
Ewald has also developed the Keen soft tinting series. It is designed for fine brittle hair. Its peculiarity in the oxidizing agent is that the ammonia content in it is only 1.9%, and the coloring matter is a cream oil.
How long does the color last
Any Keen dye provides soft coloring, practically without traumatizing the hair. A specially selected complex, which includes amino acids and olive oil, cares for depleted hair.
Hair gains shine and healthy look for a long period. Shades of a certain series do an excellent job of painting over gray strands. Even if the gray hair is focal, the dye will not leave transitions - the color will be evenly distributed throughout the hair.
The components of the cream paint fill the cuticle with coloring pigment and close it. Due to this, the color looks saturated and lasts a long time inside each hair.
Olive and macadamia nut oils included in the preparation envelop the hair along its entire length, thereby preventing washout and fading.

Keen Hair Coloring Instructions
Although Keen is professional, it's easy to dye your hair yourself. Before dyeing, the manufacturer recommends testing the skin for an allergic reaction. To do this, you must drop a little oxidant on the outside of the elbow.
If after 3 hours no changes have occurred on the skin, you can proceed to the color change procedure.

Therefore, the ratio must be observed exactly, not experimenting. Otherwise, the company will not be held liable for the damage caused to hair and skin.
- Using a brush, the components are thoroughly mixed until smooth.
- But the head is parted. Separate a thin strand and paint over it from root to tip. Each strand must be combed after applying the paint, for its even distribution.
- The minimum staining time is 20 minutes, the maximum one hour. It all depends on the structure of the hair and the desired intensity of the shade.
- After the time is up, the head is washed well with shampoo. After that, a balm is applied, and the hair is washed with warm water.
