An agent and a method are provided for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair. The agent includes (a1) at least one amino-functionalized silicone polymer, (a2) at least one color-imparting compound, and (a3) at least one ester oil.

The instant disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions that provide brightening, shine, luster, and cleanliness and/or conditioning to hair, wherein the hair treatment compositions include: (a) ascorbyl glucoside; (b) an amino acid chelant; (c) N,N-dicarboxymethyl glutamic acid, a salt thereof, and/or a combination thereof; (d) one or more surfactants; and (e) water. Also disclosed are methods for using the hair treatment compositions, for example, for enhancing brightness, shine, luster, and cleanliness and/or conditioning of the hair.

The disclosure relates to systems for altering the color of the hair, comprising a pretreatment composition comprising at least one cationic surfactant and a dyeing composition comprising at least one microtube-dye composite. The disclosure also relates to methods of altering the color of the hair using the systems, as well as kits comprising the systems.

The present disclosure relates to a method for styling mammalian hair fibers, including providing body, straightening, relaxing, curling, or applying any other desired modification to the shape of the hair. The method comprises applying a hair styling composition comprising at least one hair-penetrating phenol-based monomer to the hair, allowing the monomers to penetrate within the hair and curing such monomers to internally form a polymer able to overcome the tendency of the hair to revert to its native shape. When curing is performed while the hair is in a desired modified shape, the resulting polymers may maintain the modified shape. Suitable compositions and kits allowing to prepare the same are also disclosed.

Methods and multi-component packaging units (kit-of-parts) for dyeing keratinous material such as human hair are provided. A method for dyeing keratinous material includes applying a first composition (A) and a second composition (B) to the keratinous material. The first composition (A) includes (A1) at least one organic C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkoxysilanes and/or condensation products thereof, and (A2) at least one colorant compound selected from the group consisting of pigments and direct dyes. The second composition (B) includes (B1) a copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid and maleic acid (anhydride).

A semi-permanent colorant composition is provided that is exhibits excellent color deposit without heat or oxidative treatment, and resists fading throughout several washes.

The present invention relates to an oily dispersion (A) comprising i) at least one particle consisting of an ethylenic polymer, ii) at least one polymeric stabilizer comprising a (C.sub.9-C.sub.22)alkyl group, and iii) at least one hydrocarbon-based fatty substance which is liquid at 20° C. and 1 atmosphere. The invention also relates to a process for treating keratin materials, notably human keratin materials such as the skin or the hair, involving the application to said materials of at least one oily dispersion (A); to a process for preparing the oily dispersion, and to a multi-compartment kit comprising ingredients i) to iii).

The oily dispersion (A) and the process for treating keratin materials as defined above make it possible to obtain a treatment for said materials which is notably resistant to shampoo washing, to sebum, to sweat and/or to water, but also to fatty substances, notably dietary fatty substances such as oils.

A process for dyeing keratinous material is disclosed. The process includes applying an agent (a) and an agent (b) to the keratinous material. The agent (a) comprises (a1) at least one organic silicon compound, and (a2) at least one first colorant compound selected from the group of pigments and/or direct dyes. The agent (b) comprises (b1) at least one film-forming polymer. A multi-component packaging unit is also disclosed, and comprises, separately packaged, a first container comprising an agent (a′), a second container comprising an agent (a″), and a third container comprising an agent (b). The agent (a′) comprises (a1) at least one organic silicon compound. The agent (a″) comprises (a2) at least one first colorant compound selected from the group of pigments and/or direct dyes. The agent (b) comprises (b1) at least one film-forming polymer.

An aerosol cosmetic composition is provided that includes an oil soluble gloss enhancing film forming component, a solvent, a colorant, a propellant, and useful for application to hair or skin. An aerosol dispensing system and a method of preparing an aerosol sprayable color composition are also provided.

The subject of the present invention is a process for treating keratin fibers using an anhydrous dye composition comprising at least one compound of azomethine type comprising two pyrazolopyridine units of formula (I) or (II) and an aqueous composition. The invention also relates to a kit comprising an anhydrous dyeing composition and an aqueous composition.
