Abstract:
Tricyclic 5-6-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds having two heteroatoms. Compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and one or more tricyclic 5-6-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds having two heteroatoms. A method for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising applying such compositions in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a period sufficient to develop the desired coloration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes of formula I, (I), in which the variable independently denote X hydrogen, NO2, or NR3R4, Y NR5R6, OR7, SR8, or SO2R9 or a group suitable as a leaving group under the conditions of nucleophilic, aromatic substitution, R1 to R9 independently hydrogen, C1–C8 alkyl, C2–C8 alkyl, in which non-adjacent CH2 groups can be replaced by oxygen atoms, imino groups, or C1–C4 alkylimino groups, and/or CH2 groups may be replaced by carbonyl groups, C2–C8 alkenyl, or a group containing an active site or the precursor of an active site, with the proviso that at least one group R1 to R9 is present which contains an active site or the precursor of an active site. The present invention also relates to the use of the reactivedyes of formula I for dyeing substrates containing nucleophilic groups, and to compositions containing at least one reactive dye of formula I.
Abstract:

This invention further relates to a composition for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and one or more bicyclic fused 5-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds with two or three heteroatoms. This invention further relates to a method for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising applying such compositions in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a period sufficient to develop the desired coloration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hair care composition comprising a aminofunctional polysiloxane having a specified average effective particle size which provides improved durable conditioning particularly when utilised in conjunction with a hair coloring composition.
Abstract:
A hair care composition comprising: (a) from about 0.01 to about 3% by weight of gelling agent comprising a copolymer of methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride, cross-linked with C.sub.4 -C.sub.16 alkadiene of hydrolysis products thereof; (b) from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of hair fixative copolymer comprising a cationic copolymer of nonionic cellulose and diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride; and the balance comprising a carrier suitable for application to hair. The liquid hair cosmetic products have an improved non-tacky on-hair and on-hand feel, demonstrate excellent hair styling benefits in addition to ease of brush-out.
Abstract:
A cosmetic method for treating strands of hair comprising the subsequent steps of: placing the strands of hair to be treated between two substrates on which a first and second compositions capable of reacting together are applied, and implement for the same. The implement for carrying out the method may comprise a first and a second substrates in the form of strips of material that may be folded over each other such that at least one section of the strands of hair to be treated is sandwiched between the first and second compositions.
Abstract:
Compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and one or more tricyclic fused 6-5-6 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds having one heteroatom. A method for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising applying such compositions in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a period sufficient to develop the desired coloration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel reactive dyes of the formula (I) where R1 to R4 are independently hydrogen, C1–C8-alkyl, C2–C8-alkyl, wherein nonadjacent CH2 groups may be replaced by oxygen atoms or imino or C1–C4-alkylimino groups and/or CH2 groups by carbonyl groups, C2–C8-alkenyl, aryl, arylalkylene or a moiety containing a reactive group or the precursor of a reactive group, with the proviso that at least one of R1 to R4 is a moiety which contains a reactive group or the precursor of a reactive group. The present invention further relates to the use of the reactive dyes of the formula (I) for dyeing substrates containing nucleophilic groups and to preparations containing at least one reactive dye of the formula (I).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to kits and films formed from the kits which are useful as cosmetic or therapeutic agents, as well as methods of their use. The films and kits herein are particularly useful as polishes for mammalian nails. More particularly, the present invention relates to kits and films which, when applied to mammalian nails exhibit long wear.
