Abstract:
The instant disclosure relates to methods and kits for artificially coloring hair and improving the durability of the artificially colored hair. The methods include: (I) combining an antioxidant booster composition, a hair coloring base composition, and a developer composition to form an antioxidant-enriched hair coloring composition within 2 hours of application to the hair; (II) applying the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition to the hair and allowing the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition to remain on the hair for a period of time; and (III) rinsing the antioxidant enriched hair coloring composition from the hair. The antioxidant booster composition can be included in a kit with a hair coloring base composition and/or a developer composition, wherein the antioxidant booster composition, the coloring base composition, and the developer composition are separately contained.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to compositions for treating keratinous substrates, such as the hair, comprising 3-butoxypropylamine and at least one carboxylic acid, as well as systems and methods for treating keratinous substrates with the compositions.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a developer composition comprising one or more direct dyes having at least one halogenated aromatic group, one or more oxidizing agents, and water; wherein the pH of the developer composition is from about 1 to about 4. The developer compositions are combined with hair coloring base compositions to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. Methods for making ready to use hair coloring compositions and methods for coloring hair are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to systems and compositions comprising the systems for use in chemical treatment of keratinous substrates, such as the hair. The systems and compositions comprising the systems comprise at least one active agent and at least one acid. Methods of treating keratinous substrates with the systems and compositions comprising the systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are hair color bases, hair color compositions, and methods for altering the color of hair. Hair color bases comprise a buffer system including ammonium chloride, sodium metasilicate, ammonium hydroxide, and monoethanolamine (MEA). Hair color compositions comprise a hair base comprising a buffer system including ammonium chloride, sodium metasilicate, ammonium hydroxide, and monoethanolamine (MEA), and an oxidizing component.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a composition for relaxing or straightening hair containing an alkaline material comprising hydroxide-containing compounds, a crosslinked copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid and/or (C1-C6)alkyl esters selected from a crosslinked (meth)acrylic acid/ethyl acrylate copolymer and a cross-linked anionic acrylate polymer, a cosmetically acceptable solvent, and optionally, thickening agents and surfactants. The compositions of the invention may be in the form of a gel that is clear in appearance or may be in the form of an emulsion when the compositions additionally contain a liquid fatty substance.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for altering the color of hair, comprising treating the hair with a pre-alkalizing composition and then treating the hair with a color-altering composition comprising at least one first oxidizing agent chosen from peroxides, persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, peracids, bromates, their salts and mixtures thereof, and further optionally comprising at least one fatty substance and/or thickening agent, and/or at least one second oxidizing agent. The methods may further optionally comprise applying onto the hair a coloring composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one dye compound chosen from oxidative dye precursors, and direct dye compounds.
