Abstract: A cosmetic method for treating strands of hair comprising the subsequent steps of: placing the strands of hair to be treated between two substrates on which a first and second compositions capable of reacting together are applied, and implement for the same. The implement for carrying out the method may comprise a first and a second substrates in the form of strips of material that may be folded over each other such that at least one section of the strands of hair to be treated is sandwiched between the first and second compositions.

Abstract: A hand-held device (2) for applying a barrier material (4, 6) to a lock of hair to be treated with a highlighting composition (32) is disclosed. The device may comprise one or two rolls (8, 10) of a tape of barrier material (4, 6) that is dispensed to the lock of hair as the same time as the roll or rolls (8, 10) are unrolled. The device may also contain the highlighting composition (32), either applied on the rolled tape or via a reservoir contained in the body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hair coloring composition comprising (iv) at least one developer selected from amino aromatic systems capable of being oxidised and thereafter undergoing only a single electrophilic attack reaction, and (v) at least one developer selected from amino aromatic systems capable of being oxidised and thereafter undergoing at least two electrophilic attack reactions, and (vi) at least one coupler, which delivers improved root-to-tip evenness and improved hair color.

Abstract: A hair colouring composition comprising one or more developers is selected from amino aromatic systems capable of being oxidised and thereafter undergoing at least two electrophilic attack reactions, and one or more couplers selected from compounds of the formula (I) in which X is a non-leaving substituent, and Z is an active leaving group, and Y is an active leaving group or a non-leaving substituent, such that in the presence of an oxidising agent the or each developer reacts with the or each coupler substantially only at the position having the active leaving group Z and, if Y is an active leaving group, Y, provided that if X is phenyl then Y is not ethyl or methyl. The application also claims compositions comprising a developer and specific compounds of formula (I).

Abstract: A hair colouring composition comprising one or more developers is selected from amino aromatic systems capable of being oxidised and thereafter undergoing at least two electrophilic attach reactions, and one or more couplers selected from (a) 1,3-diketones of the formula (I): in which X and Y are non-leaving substituents and Z is an active leaving group, such that in the presence of an oxidising agent the or each developer reacts with the or each coupler substantially only at the position having the active leaving group Z and (b) compoounds of the formula (II): in which R1, R2 and R3 are, independently, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralyl, —R′NHCOR, —CONHR, —R′CONHR, —R′OH, —R′SO2R, —R′SO2NHR, —R′OR or —COR, in any of which R is H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, alkaryl, or aralkyl and R′ is alkylene, alkenylene, cycloalkylene, cycloalkenylene, arylene, alkarylene or aralkyrene, or s
