A method for successively performing hair dyeing and hair straightening, the method including the steps of: performing dyeing on hair; applying, to the hair immediately after being subjected to dyeing, a reducing first agent containing a basic dye and/or an HC dye, and leaving the hair for a certain time, thereby performing reduction on cystine bonds; shaping the hair that has been subjected to reduction into a straight configuration; and applying an oxidizing second agent to the hair that has been shaped into a straight configuration, and leaving the hair for a certain time, thereby performing oxidation for reforming the cystine bonds.

The present invention relates to the use of compounds which are capable of producing a cooling sensation when they are brought into contact with the human body. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of compounds modulating TRPM8, and optionally to the use of compounds selectively exhibiting agonist activity at the TRPM8 channel. Such compounds have applications in many fields, particularly in oral and personal hygiene products and foodstuffs, but also in pharmaceutical composition products, cosmetics, textile products and packaging products. The present invention further relates to products containing such compounds and to the medical use of such compounds.

A compound of formula (I) or (II) or (III): ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.8 and R.sub.8 are as defined herein. This compound can be used in a composition for the dyeing of fibers.

The present invention relates to a composition for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human keratin fibers, comprising one or more fatty substances, one or more surfactants, one or more oxidation bases, one or more particular couplers of meta-phenylenediamine type substituted in position 2, and one or more basifying agents, the fatty substance content in the dye composition representing in total at least 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the said composition. The invention also relates to a dyeing process using such a composition, and also to multi-compartment devices suitable for performing the said process.

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one oxidation coupler chosen from 6-hydroxybenzomorpholine of formula (I), one of its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, at least one oxidation coupler chosen from 2-amino-5-ethylphenol of formula (II), one of its addition salts, its solvates and/or the solvates of its salts, at least one oxyethylenated C.sub.8-C.sub.30 fatty acid ester of sorbitan, and at least one C.sub.8-C.sub.30 fatty acid. The invention also relates to a process for dyeing keratin fibres, preferably the hair, comprising the application of the composition to said keratin fibres.

The present invention relates to an aqueous cosmetic powder composition especially designed for styling hair comprising water, hydrophobic colloidal silica and a water soluble non-ionic polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups and is solid at ambient temperature.
