  • Patent number: 9925133
    Abstract: A method for dyeing keratinous fibers, in particular, human hair, in which, after a thickened pre-treatment agent (M1) containing no oxidation dye precursors has been applied and allowed to react, a coloring agent (M2) is applied and allowed to react immediately thereafter and without rinsing. By carrying out said method, hair can be colored in a dyeing step and simultaneously multi-tonal dyeing with highlights or lowlights can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 9918928
    Abstract: A method for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, in which, after a thickened pretreatment agent (M1) including at least one oxidation dye precursor has been applied and left to act, directly thereafter and without rinsing a coloring agent (M2) is applied and left to act. By virtue of this method, in one dyeing step the hair can be colored and at the same time a multi-tonal dyeing with lighter (“highlights”) or darker (“lowlights”) sections (strands) can be produced.

  • Publication number: 20180021243
    Abstract: Cosmetic agents for simultaneously lightening and temporarily shaping keratin fibers include a specific thickener and also at least one oxidant and have a viscosity of from 31,000 to 90,000 mPas. Despite the high viscosity, the agents can be easily removed from the packaging and moreover can be homogeneously applied to the keratin fibers without said agents dripping after application. The agents result in a homogeneous lightening and a good hairstyle hold. A method for lightening and temporarily shaping keratin fibers uses such cosmetic agents.
