The use of zwitterionic compounds, specifically alkylmidopropyl dimethyl betaines provide unexpected penetration of the hair by the dye, unexpected oxidative stability in the dye compopsitions, and unexpected color deposition to the hair.

  • Publication number: 20020040508
    Abstract: The invention concerns a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as hair comprising at least one pyrazolin-4,5-dione of formula (I) and at least one aromatic primary amine. Said composition enables R the dyeing of keratin fibres without an oxidising agent in shades which are strong, varied, resistant and less selective than those of prior art. The invention also concerns dyeing methods and devices using said composition.

  • Patent number: 6368360
    Abstract: A dye composition for keratin fibres comprising, at least one direct dye to be mixed at the time of use, at a basic pH, with an oxidizing agent, and characterized in that it has a basic pH and in that it contains, as direct dye, at least one dye containing an optionally delocalizable quaternized nitrogen atom and a -Z=N- bond in which Z denotes a nitrogen atom or a -CH- radical. The use of the composition and the multi-compartment dyeing kits, for the dyeing of keratin fibres, in particular the hair and more particularly human hair, are also discussed.
