  • Patent number: 6977001
    Abstract: The dye composition (A) for dyeing fibers, especially keratin fibers, such as human hair, is made by mixing a first component (A1) and a second component (A2) and adding an alkalizing agent or an acidifying agent, as needed. The second component (A2) consists of at least one compound with a nucleophilic reaction center and the first component (A1) consists of at least one 1-alkyl quinolinium derivative of formula (Ia) or (Ib): A multicomponent kit consisting of the first and second components packaged separately is also described as well as a method of dyeing fibers using the multicomponent kit.

  • Patent number: 6916343
    Abstract: A method for coloring keratin fibers is provided that includes at least two steps. In one step, the keratin fibers are treated with a pretreatment composition containing at least one substantive dye. In another step, the keratin fibers are treated with a composition containing at least one synthetic dye or synthetic dye precursor after applying the pretreatment composition.

  • Patent number: 6878169
    Abstract: Provided is a hair dye composition containing a direct dye (1): [wherein, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 each represents a C1-6 alkyl group; R7 and R8 each represents a hydroxy group, a C1-6 alkyl group, a C1-6 alkoxy group, an amino group or alkylamino groups; R9 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-6 alkyl group; and X? represents an anion]. This hair dye composition undergoes a small change in color tone even after storage because it contains the direct dye (1) which has high stability against any one of an alkali agent, oxidizing agent and reducing agent, and at the same time, has markedly high hair dyeing power and exhibits excellent light resistance, washing resistance, perspiration resistance, friction resistance and heat resistance.
