Abstract: A method for dyeing keratin fibers, including mixing an aqueous dyeing composition containing a dye compound which is an anionic azo dye, a non-ionic azo dye, a salt thereof, or a mixture thereof, and an alkalizing agent having at least one basic functional group whose conjugated acid has a pKa value in a range of 6.0 to 8.0, with a second aqueous composition having a pH in a range of 1 to 6 to yield a ready-to-use composition having a pH in a range of 7 to 12. The method further includes applying the ready-to-use composition onto the keratin fibers and leaving it for a time period in a range of 1 min to 60 min, and rinsing-off the keratin fibers. The alkalizing agent is triethanolamine, 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-ethane-1-sulfonic acid, a salt thereof, or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dyeing composition, method, use and kit thereof, which improves dyeing using specific direct dyes. The inventive composition comprises benzyl alcohol, and a thickening polymer.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the provision of a kit-of-parts, a dyeing composition, and a method for dyeing keratin fibres. The kit comprises separate compositions A and B and optionally separate composition C. Composition A comprises a direct dye and an alkalising agent. The aqueous composition B comprises guanidine and/or its salts together with one or more lipophilic compounds and/or one or more thickening polymers. Composition C comprises a persalt and/or persulfate salt. A method for dyeing keratin fibres comprises mixing compositions A and B, and optionally C, to yield a ready-to-use composition with pH in the range of 7 to 12. Composition B may be used for enhancing colour intensity and/or wash fastness of a direct dye on keratin fibres with the provision that it is mixed with composition A directly prior to application.

Abstract: This invention relates to a pre-treatment composition comprising at least one organopolysiloxane especially polysilicone-9 and to a process for application of the said composition, which has an acidic pH and is applied to hair, especially damaged hair, prior to hair colouration in order to improve the color intensity and at the same time to achieve durable hair color. pH of the pre-treatment compositions is from 2 to 7.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hair dyeing composition comprising direct acting hair dyes and showing excellent dyeing effects. It should be well understood that the colouring composition of this invention are ready to use colouring composition and, therefore, do not require any mixing prior to application with additional agents such as oxidizers. In another way of carrying out the invention and in the case that a brightening and lightening, in hair colour, is wished (highlighting effect) the compositions of the present invention can as well be used after mixing with oxidizing agent.
