  • Patent number: 7708021
    Abstract: A composition and method for simultaneously lightening and coloring hair. The composition generally consists of three components, specifically, a bleaching composition, an oxidizing composition and a dyeing composition. The composition preferably lightens hair color by a plurality of levels and simultaneously deposits tones that are attractive and long lasting. In a preferred embodiment, the bleaching composition is a powder composition based on silicate and/or carbonate salts and/or persulfate salts of ammonium, potassium or sodium. The persulfate bleaching composition can be ammonia-free, if desired. The oxidizing composition is preferably an anhydrous hydrogen peroxide solution, or another source of oxygen. The bleaching composition can be mixed with the oxidizing composition to form an anhydrous creme that is applied to the hair.

  • Patent number: 5224964
    Abstract: A method and composition for lightening and imparting color to hair is disclosed which achieves a more permanent or longer lasting effect than achievable with traditional oxidation type dyes. A bleaching agent which is capable of lightening hair to a predetermined degree, and a non-oxidation type colorant which is capable of imparting a permanent color is applied to hair for a sufficient length of time and in a sufficient amount to achieve the desired result. The bleaching agent and colorant are then rinsed from the hair.
