The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for improving the quality and durability of color in artificially colored hair. The methods employ alkaline earth metal salts that act as a mordant (a fixing agent) with hair dye and salts of hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids, which act as chelators. Methods are described wherein the alkaline earth metal salts or the salts of hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids are used in a pre-color treatment (a treatment to the hair prior to artificial coloring), used as part of a coloring composition, and used in a post-color treatment (a treatment to the hair after artificial coloring).

The present disclosure relates to methods for improving the quality and durability of color in artificially colored hair. The methods employ alkaline earth metal salts that act as a mordant (a fixing agent) with the dye and hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids, which act as chelators. The artificially colored hair is treated with a post-color treatment composition comprising one or more alkaline earth metal salts and one or more hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids. Also, the one or more alkaline earth metal salts may be incorporated into a coloring composition for coloring the hair (in-color treatment composition) and a subsequent post-color treatment composition comprising one or more hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids can be applied to the hair.

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 Y1, Y2 independently represent a nitrogen atom or a group C—R9, and Q represents a special linker group of formula (II), (III), (IV) or (V), (b) at least one anionic surfactant and/or at least one cationic surfactant.

A composition for oxidatively treating hair includes—50-96 wt. % water; 0.5-20 wt. % hydrogen peroxide; at least one linear saturated 1-alkanol with 12-30 carbon atoms in a total volume of 2.7-6 wt. %; at least one polyethylene glycol ether of a linear saturated C12-C22 alkanol with 15-30 ethylene oxide units in the molecule, in a total volume of 0.3-1 wt. %; at least one anionic surfactant in a total volume of 0.3-1 wt. %; at least one cellulose ether in a total volume of 0.1-0.5 wt. %; and at least one oil in a total volume of 0.1-0.5 wt. %. The composition is highly suitable as an oxidant for powdered color preparations, containing oxidizing coloring intermediates and also pigments, which do not permanently change the color of the fibers, as well as, optionally, including solid inorganic alkalizing agents, as well as, optionally, ammonium salts, like ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate, in particular with respect to the application properties of the application mixture.
