Avant Gardero

Avant Gardero is a hair and body brand. The bulk of what we carry is the Dandelion line: hair colour creams, perm and wave treatments, straightening creams, and a couple of multi-purpose styling creams. Outside hair, there is the Vita-Parfum Body Cleanser. So this is a salon-style hair range you can use at home, not a facial skincare brand.

For colour, the range includes the Dandelion Hair Bb Color Cream in Natural Brown 80g, the Hair Bb Coated Color Cream 80g, the Hair Bebe One Step 120g, and the Squid Food Coating Cream Color. The one-step formats mix colour and developer in a single application, which keeps an at-home dye simpler. Choose a coated-colour cream if you want a gentler deposit on already-treated hair.

If you want curl or wave, the Dandelion Multi-moisture Cysteine Wave Firm and the Multi Moisture Cysteine 100ml hair perm medicine are the perm products here. Cysteine-based perms are a gentler chemistry than older thioglycolate systems, so they suit hair that has already been coloured or processed. Follow the timing on the pack and do a strand test first.

The Dandelion Multi-Therapy Magic Straight Cream is the straightening option. A magic straight cream relaxes the hair's structure so it sits smooth and flat, which is the at-home version of a salon straightening service. As with the perm products, work in sections and keep to the recommended processing time to avoid over-treating.

Two creams round out the hair range: the Dandelion Glimmed Cream and the Dandelion Glee Medi Cream 120ml. These are leave-in style creams for conditioning and finish rather than chemical processing, so they are the lower-commitment products in the line. Use them between colour or perm appointments to keep hair soft.

The Vita-Parfum Body Cleanser in Romantic Pink 500ml is the one non-hair product here. It is a scented body wash in a large 500ml bottle, so it is the everyday shower step in the range rather than a treatment. Pick it if you want a fragranced cleanser to go alongside the hair products.

Start from what you want to do. To change colour, reach for a Bb Color Cream or the one-step. To add curl, use a Cysteine wave product. To smooth and straighten, use the Magic Straight cream. To condition between treatments, use the Glimmed or Glee Medi creams. Matching the product to the job is the simplest way to navigate the Dandelion line.

Sizes here signal the product type. The 80g and 120g tubs are the colour and one-step creams, the 100ml and 120ml tubes are the perm and treatment formulas, and the 500ml bottle is the body cleanser. A larger bottle like the body wash is meant for repeat daily use, while the smaller colour and perm packs are sized for a single treatment session.

Chemical hair treatments reward patience. Always do a patch test for sensitivity and a strand test for colour or curl result before committing. Work in even sections, time each step by the instructions, and rinse thoroughly. Space colour, perm, and straightening treatments apart so you are not stacking too much processing on the same hair at once.
