Abstract: A kit and method for applying lowlights to hair

Abstract: A hair product applicator for applying hair product to the hair comprised of a handle having a proximal end and a distal end; and affixed to the distal end of the handle a retaining structure formed by a plurality of pyramid shaped teeth extending upwardly from the handle; and a method for applying hair products to the hair using the applicator.

Abstract: A water in oil microemulsion peroxide composition for coloring or lightening of hair comprising 1-99% of an aqueous phase in the form of dispersed microdroplets having a droplet size of 100 to 1500 Angstroms, 0.1-75% of a continuous oil phase; and 1-65% of an organic, surface active ingredient capable of interacting with the water phase and the oil phase to cause formation of the dispersed aqueous phase microdroplets, all percentages by weight of the total composition; and a method for coloring or lightening hair using the peroxide composition, and a method for reducing the amount of time necessary to permanently color hair using the peroxide composition.

Abstract: A developer composition having a pH of 2.5 to 6.9, for use in oxidative dyeing of hair comprising 0.01-20% of a primary thickening agent which is an aqueous solution of acrylic polymer comprised of A and B monomers wherein the A monomer is selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and mixtures thereof; and the B monomer is selected from the group consisting of a C1-22 alkyl methacrylate, and a C1-22 alkyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof; 0.01-20% of a nonionic surfactant, 0.01-25% hydrogen peroxide, and 65-99.9% water; a hair dye mixture for coloring hair; a two component kit for coloring hair; and a method for coloring hair.

Abstract: An aqueous peroxide composition for coloring or lightening hair comprising (a) 1-99% of an aqueous phase containing (ii) 1-55% by weight of the total composition of water, (ii) 1-45% hydrogen peroxide, and (iii) a water soluble cosolvent; and (b) 0.1-60% of an oil phase; and (c) 1-65% of an organic, amphiphilic, surface active ingredient capable of interacting with the water phase and the oil phase to form lyotropic liquid crystals containing said water phase ingredients; a method for coloring or lightening hair using the peroxide composition, and a method for reducing the amount of time necessary to permanently color hair using the peroxide composition.
