  • Publication number: 20080184496
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition for coloring keratin fibers comprising a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one compound X at least one compound Y, wherein at least one of the compounds X and Y is a silicone compound, wherein when X and Y are placed in contact with each other they react together via a hydrosilylation reaction, a condensation reaction, or a crosslinking reaction in the presence of at least one peroxide, at least one hydrophobic direct dye having a log P greater than 2, and optionally at least one organic solvent. The composition of the disclosure makes it possible to obtain varied hues and intense colors on the keratin fibers. Moreover, the coloration obtained is very resistant to external agents, for example, to repeated washing.
