  • Patent number: 7201779
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dye composition comprising a direct dye consisting of different chromophores, the dye having a particular L*a*b* value. The invention also relates to the dyeing process using this composition and to the use of this composition for dyeing keratin fibers. These compositions in particular make it possible to obtain particularly fast colorations.

  • Patent number: 7172633
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lightening dye composition comprising, in a suitable dyeing medium, an oxidizing agent, an alkaline agent in an amount such that the pH of the composition is greater than 7, and a mixed cationic dye comprising several chromophores linked together via a linker, at least two of the chromophores being different, the chromophores having an absorbance of between 400 and 800 nm. The invention makes it possible to obtain particularly fast colorations.

  • Publication number: 20070006398
    Abstract: Disclose herein is a composition for dyeing keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising at least one oxidation base chosen from diamino-N,N-dihydropyrazolones and addition salts thereof, at least one coupler, and at least one heterocyclic direct dye. Also disclosed herein is a method for dyeing keratin fibers comprising applying a composition of the present disclosure to the keratin fibers. The compositions and methods of the present disclosure may make it possible to obtain fast coloration of keratin fibers that is resistant to light and/or to washing.

  • Publication number: 20060156478
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for dyeing keratinous fibers comprising applying to the keratinous fibers at least one oxidation dyeing composition which comprises at least one oxidation base and at least one aromatic coupler substituted in the meta position by two amino groups, at least one of the amino group being primary, and washing the fibers, thus colored, with at least one detergent composition comprising at least one non-ionic surfactant chosen from alkylpolyglycoside surfactants and polyglycerolated surfactants.
