  • Patent number: 8840684
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dyeing and/or lightening keratin fibers such as the hair, using i) at least one cationic direct dye bearing a disulfide, thiol or protected thiol function especially of formula (I) as defined in the description and ii) water vapor. The invention also relates to the use i) of at least one cationic direct dye bearing a disulfide, thiol or protected thiol function combined with ii) water vapor, for dyeing and lightening keratin fibers, and to the use of water vapor for grafting onto keratin fibers dyes bearing a disulfide, thiol or protected thiol function.

  • Patent number: 8034125
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the dyeing of keratin materials using two colorless dye precursors, at least one of which contains a disulfide/thiol unit, said precursors reacting together chemically to form the color in situ. The process according to the invention makes it possible in the context of certain variants to solve the problems caused by the color generated during the process, while at the same time not degrading the efficacy of the coloration, and especially of the lightening effect. The colorations obtained are moreover powerful, chromatic, sparingly selective, and fast with respect to external agents such as sunlight, perspiration and especially shampoo.
