The present invention relates to an anhydrous dyeing composition which is liquid at 20° C. and comprising one or more oil liquid at 20° C., one or more direct dyes and at least one anionic surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant for achieving intensive homogeneous colors on hair.

Disclosed is a two-agent type hair coloring agent prepared by mixing a first agent and a second agent, wherein the first agent contains a dye component containing a basic dye as a main component, and an alkaline agent, the second agent contains a hydrogen peroxide solution as a main component thereof, and at least one of the first agent and the second agent further contains metal nanoparticles.

The present invention relates to a composition for treating keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres, and in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium: at least one fatty substance in a content of greater than or equal to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, at least one oxyalkylenated (OA), preferably oxyethylenated (OE), nonionic surfactant comprising a number of OA units, preferably OE units, ranging from 1 to 9, at least one oxyalkylenated (OA), preferably oxyethylenated (OE), nonionic surfactant comprising at least 10 OA units, preferably OE units, the weight ratio of the amount of oxyalkylenated (OA), preferably oxyethylenated, nonionic surfactant(s) comprising a number of OA units, preferably OE units, ranging from 1 to 9 to the amount of oxyalkylenated (OA), preferably oxyethylenated, nonionic surfactants comprising at least 10 OA units, preferably OE units, being greater than 1, at least one chemical oxidizing agent, preferably hydrogen peroxide. The composition in accordance with the invention may be used for dyeing, bleaching or permanently reshaping keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres. It produces ready-to-use compositions that give good dyeing, bleaching or permanent-reshaping properties without degrading the keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres, and without impairing their cosmetic properties.

The present disclosure relates to agents for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, containing, in a cosmetic carrier (a) at least one direct dye of formula (I), wherein Het 1, Het 2 represent a cationic heterocycle, and A1, A2, independently of one another, represent a grouping of formulas (VIII) or (IX), wherein n represents a whole number of between 2-6, and m, p, independently of one another, represent the numbers 2 or 3.

An oxidizing agent preparation (A) for oxidatively changing the color of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, is present in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion (O/W emulsion), and includes (a1) an oil phase including one or more fat constituents (F), (a2) a water phase, (a3) hydrogen peroxide, and (a4) at least one type of fine-grain particles (P) having a mean particle size of less than 200 μm (micrometers).
A product that includes the aforementioned oxidizing agent preparation (A) is packaged in the form of a storage container. A multi-component packaging unit includes the oxidizing agent preparation (A) also includes a separately packaged dye (B).

The present invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin materials, in particular keratin fibers, preferably human keratin fibers such as the hair, using a) one or more direct dyes and b) one or more particular heterocyclic salts, to a composition comprising ingredients a) and b) and to a kit comprising a) and b).

A method for the permanent shaping and color modification of keratinic in a single process includes the following steps. First, an aqueous composition, including at least one keratin-reducing compound and at least one alkalizing agent, is applied to the keratinic fibers and is left on the keratinic fibers for a period of 5 to 50 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 45° C. The keratinic fibers are rinsed, and optionally dried. Next, a composition including at least one oxidation dye precursor and at least one oxidizing agent is applied to the keratinic fibers and the keratinic fibers are deformed. That composition is allowed to act for 10 to 35 minutes. An aqueous composition including at least one oxidizing agent, is applied to the keratinic fibers for 30 seconds to 15 minutes. The keratinic fibers are rinsed out, along with removal of the deformation aids.

The present disclosure relates to cosmetic compositions for the oxidative treatment of keratinous fibers, in particular human hair, comprising at least one salt of a peroxo compound, at least one alkalizing agent and at least one complexing agent. Furthermore, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a multi-component unit for the oxidative lightening of keratinous fibers, in particular human hair, comprising as first component the cosmetic agent as contemplated herein and as second component an agent comprising H.sub.2O.sub.2. In addition, the present disclosure relates to the use of a salt of a polyhydroxylated monocarboxylic acid in a cosmetic composition.
