A method of protecting hair from damage by applying a long-chain unhydrolyzed alkyltrialkoxysilane to hair shafts and then hydrolyzing and polymerizing the alkyltrialkoxysilane to form a non-penetrating outer layer on the hair shaft by utilizing pH adjusted water followed by the application of heat. Alternatively, the alkyltrialkoxysilane may be applied to the hair in combination with an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride prior to the application of heat.

The invention relates to a dyestuff of plant origin, obtained from a colored part of a plant species, the cell tissues of which contain iridisomes responsible for the coloration of said part. It relates most particularly to a blue dyestuff obtained from the arils of the seeds of the plant species Ravenala madagascariensis. It also relates to compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, especially intended for making up the skin or superficial body growths, containing said dyestuff.
