Abstract: An agent (M) for the treatment of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, containing in a cosmetic carrier, based on the total weight of the agent (M), (a) one or more aliphatic polyols in a total amount from about 1.0 to about 40.0% by weight and (b) one or more cyclic carbonates in a total amount from about 1.0 to about 20.0% by weight, wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of the aliphatic polyols (a) contained in the agent (M) to the total amount of the cyclic carbonates (b) contained in the agent (M), that is, the weight ratio (a)/(b), is a value of from about 40 to about 1.

Abstract: The present application relates to agents for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, exemplified in that said agents are produced by mixing (A) one or more oxidation dye precursors in salt form and (B) one or more water-soluble salts of barium and/or of calcium, wherein the molar ratio of all oxidation dye precursors in salt form (A) used in the agent to all water-soluble barium and calcium salts (B) used in the agent. i.e. the molar ratio (A)/(B), lies at a value of from about 1.0 to about 1.

Abstract: The subject of the present disclosure is a method for coloring of keratinous fibers, particularly human hair, including the following steps in the specified sequence: A) Treatment of the fibers with a hydrous pre-treatment agent (V), B) Treatment of the fibers with a hydrous coloring agent (F), wherein the pre-treatment agent (V) has a pH value of from about 1.0 to about 5.0 and the coloring agent (F) has at least one partially-oxidizing acid dye and a pH value of from about 5.0 to about 9.5. An additional subject of the present disclosure is a multi-component package unit (kit) including a pre-treatment agent (V) and a coloring agent (F).

Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure is a method for the oxidative lightening and/or dyeing of keratinous fibers, more particularly of hair, wherein a) a dye and/or lightening agent is applied to the keratinous fiber, said dye or lightening agent being obtained by mixing a composition (A), which contains at least one alkalizing agent, with a composition (B), which contains, in a cosmetic carrier, at least one oxidant, b) thereafter, within a period of one second to 24 hours after step a), a pre-treatment agent containing at least one salt of an isoalkylphosphoric acid ester, is applied to the keratinous fibers, more particularly the hair.

Abstract: An agent for coloring and/or lightening keratinic fibers, in particular human hair, includes: (a) ammonia in a quantity of 0.40 to 3.0 wt.-%, preferably of 0.50 to 2.4 wt.-%, more preferably of 0.60 to 2.0 wt.-% and especially preferred of 0.62 to 1.75 wt.-%, based on the weight of the agent, (b) one or more alkanolamines from the group of monoethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methylpropanol, and triethanolamine, (c) one or more ethoxylated fatty alcohols having a degree of ethoxylation from 80 to 120, (d) cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol in a total quantity of 4 to 8 wt-%, based on the weight of the agent, (e) one or more ethoxylated fatty alcohols having a degree of ethoxylation of 30.
