Abstract: The invention is directed to a three-part bleaching composition and method comprising pigments in a third composition. It has unexpectedly been found that an third composition comprising pigments increase the contrast between bleaching composition and keratin fibers to a degree which allows for a more accurate judgement of the desired end point of bleaching during the bleaching process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable liquid composition comprising hair direct dyes in a liquid diol which is used for dyeing hair after mixing with one or more other aqueous compositions. The compositions preferably comprise an alkalizing agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improved and milder permanent shaping of hair, especially human hair. It has been found that when commonly used permanent shaping compositions are mixed with another composition comprising predominantly carboxylic acids, the permanent shaping effect of the composition is improved, homogeneous permanent shaping of hair fibers is achieved and natural cosmetic properties of hair are maintained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for permanent shaping and dyeing carried out one after another with compositions providing improved and milder shaping and dyeing of hair, especially human hair. The inventors of the present invention have unexpectedly found out that when commonly used permanent shaping and dyeing compositions are mixed with another composition comprising predominantly carboxylic acids, the permanent shaping and dyeing effects of the compositions are improved, homogeneous permanent shaping and dyeing of hair fibers is achieved and natural cosmetic properties of hair are maintained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for straightening and frizz reduction of hair which leaves hair in one part straight and volumeless and the remaining part may still have the curly appearance but not frizzy at all. It has been found out when treating hair at the parts where the straight appearance is preferred with a composition comprising higher concentration of hair straightening ingredient and straightening the said part with an iron at relatively higher temperature and treating the remaining parts with a composition comprising the same straightening ingredient at a lower concentration and treating the said parts with an iron at relatively lower temperature provides hair structures which appear to be straight and with low volume in one part which is the part closer to the scalp and, curly and voluminous but not frizzy at the remaining parts which is usually the lengths.

Abstract: A spout for a refill container having an outlet opening for communicating with an interior volume, a lid for sealing the outlet opening against a fluid located therein, wherein the lid is removable relative to the base part for unsealing the outlet opening, a nozzle for being inserted into an inlet opening of a bottle, wherein the nozzle is relative moveable to the base part between a closing position, and a pouring position, where the nozzle is positioned close to the base part, a flexible element, connected to the base part and the nozzle for providing a fluid connection of the nozzle with the outlet opening of the base part and a pusher removable relative to the base part by means of the nozzle, wherein the pusher pushes the lid away from the outlet opening in the pouring position of the nozzle for unsealing the outlet opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bleaching composition for keratin fibres, especially human hair, comprising at least one compound with bleaching effect and two different silicate based alkalizing agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of coloring keratin fibers, especially human hair, which delivers intensive, long lasting, brilliant colors and provides improved grey coverage. Kit therefore is disclosed as well. The method of colouring hair involves treating hair prior to colouring with an alkaline reducing agent.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a three-part bleaching composition and method comprising pigments in a third composition. It has unexpectedly been found that an third composition comprising pigments increase the contrast between bleaching composition and keratin fibers to a degree which allows for a more accurate judgement of the desired end point of bleaching during the bleaching process.

Abstract: The present invention is on the provision of a composition, method, use of composition to reduce the drying time of keratin fibers, preferably human hair. The composition is aqueous and comprises two or more cationic polymers wherein one of the cationic polymers has a charge density in the range of 2 meq/g to 4 meq/g, and the other cationic polymer has a charge density in the range of 4.1 meq/g to 7 meq/g, and an aminosilicone. A kit of parts is disclosed which comprises the composition and a blow dryer.
