The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating scars and a preparation method therefor. The composition, according to one aspect, comprises a pigment and silicone oil, and may be stably formulated into a formulation adequate for spreading on the skin, and may inhibit the formation of scars or reduce already existing scars by forming a membrane on the skin, and has an effect whereby scars may be concealed by the pigment stably dispersed in the composition.

The present invention relates to a bleaching composition for keratin fibres, especially human hair, comprising at least one compound with bleaching effect and two different silicate based alkalizing agents.

The present invention relates to a hair coloring composition based on natural ingredients and with a separate alkalizing agent, which can be used both in direct coloring and oxidative coloring and related coloring kit.

The present invention is on the provision of a composition, method, use of composition to reduce the drying time of keratin fibers, preferably human hair. The composition is aqueous and comprises two or more cationic polymers wherein one of the cationic polymers has a charge density in the range of 2 meq/g to 4 meq/g, and the other cationic polymer has a charge density in the range of 4.1 meq/g to 7 meq/g, and an aminosilicone. A kit of parts is disclosed which comprises the composition and a blow dryer.

The invention relates to a hair dyeing process comprising at least one pigment, at least one additional component selected from cross linking agents and/or plasticizers and at least one block polymer comprising: a first block with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than or equal to 40 C. derived from a monomer CH.sub.2C(R.sub.1)COOR2 in which R.sub.1=H or methyl, R.sub.2=C.sub.4 to C.sub.12 cycloalkyl group; and a second block with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than or equal to 20 C. derived from a vinylphosphonic acid and from a monomer CH2=C(R.sub.1)COOR.sub.3 in which R.sub.1=H or methyl, R.sub.3=linear or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 unsubstituted alkyl group, with the exception of a tert-butyl group or a methoxyethyl group.

A hair treatment kit comprises a hair treatment composition selected from the group of semi-permanent oxidative and/or direct dye hair colorant compositions, hair bleaching compositions, highlighting compositions, and combinations thereof, a reservoir for holding the temporary hair treatment composition, and an applicator fluidly connected to the reservoir for selectively applying the hair treatment composition to a targeted area of hair. Methods of applying the hair treatment composition comprise selectively engaging the applicator with a targeted area of hair, leaving the hair treatment composition in the targeted area for a time period, washing the hair treatment composition out of the targeted area, closing the reservoir to preserve remaining hair treatment composition for later use, and reapplying the hair treatment composition to the targeted area.

Apparatus for concealing vitiligo is provided. The apparatus may include a cosmetic marker for applying a solution for concealing vitiligo. The cosmetic marker may support enhanced flow of the solution from the marker onto a portion of depigmented skin. The cosmetic marker may include a marker barrel. The cosmetic marker may also include a fibrous reservoir positioned in the marker barrel. The fibrous reservoir may be saturated with the solution. The fibrous reservoir may have a density of preferably between 0.12 g/cc-0.14 g/cc. The cosmetic marker may also include a polyester nib in fluid communication with the fibrous reservoir. The polyester nib may have a porosity of between 65%-70%. The cosmetic marker may also include the solution. The solution may include a colorant and dihydroxyacetone.

The present disclosure relates to compositions for altering the tone or color of the hair, the compositions comprising at least one amino acid, at least one carboxylic acid, monoethanolamine, and at least one hair coloring agent. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the compositions.

The present invention relates to novel cationic azomethine direct dyes of formula (I) and the leuco forms thereof of formula (II), and also to the use thereof for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair: (I) (II) in which formula (I) or (II) X.sub.1, X.sub.2, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, n and n are as defined in the description. The compounds of formula (I) according to the invention can give powerful, chromatic and sparingly selective colourings with good colour build-up, which are resistant to the various attacking factors to which keratin fibres may be subjected, such as inclement weather, light, washing and perspiration. ##STR00001##

Processes condition human hair by applying an aqueous composition onto the human hair such that the conditioned human hair achieves long lasting conditioning of the human hair and increasing hair temperature of the conditioned human hair to the range of 40 to 140 C., wherein the aqueous composition comprises one or more cationic quaternary ammonium polymers having a cationic charge density of 3.0 mEq/g or more and one or more nonionic surfactants.
