Abstract: The hair care compositions contain a combination of from 0.01 to 10 percent by weight of at least one terminally functionalized diquaternary silicone compound of formula II: R1R2R3N+—A—SiR7R8—(O—SiR9R10)n—O—SiR11R12—A—N+R4R5R62X1−  (II), wherein R1 and R4, independently of each other, each represent an alkyl group with at least eight carbon atoms, and R2 R3 and R15 to R4, independently of each other, each represent a methyl group. A represents —(CH2)3—O—CH2—CH(OH)—CH2—, n is a number from 10 to 120 and X1− is an anion; and from 0.01 to 10 percent by weight of at least one quaternized amine compound of formula lb: R1—NH—(CH2)m—N+R2R3R4 X−  (lb), wherein R1 represents a C8- to C24-acyl group; wherein R2, R3 and R4 represent, independently of each other, C1- to C6-alkyl group; X− is an anion and m is 2 to 5.

Abstract: The hair care compositions contain a combination of an amine and/or a quaternized amine, especially an amidoamine and/or a quaternized amidoamine, and at least one terminally functionalized diquaternary silicone polymer compound.

Abstract: The oxidative hair dye composition is in the form of a cream and contains a carrier substance and a dye mixture dissolved in it. The dye mixture includes at least one coupler and at least one developer. The composition has a pH between 4.5 to 12.5 and, in addition to the dye mixture, contains (A) 10 to 30 percent by weight of at least one fatty alcohol with 10 to 24 carbon atoms; (B) 0.2 to 6.0 percent by weight of at least one diester of formula (I)R.sub.1 --CO--O--(CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --CO--R.sub.2(I),where n is 1, 2 or 3, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups with 12 to 20 carbon atoms; (C) 0.5 to 20 percent by weight glycerin fatty acid ester with 10 to 24 carbon atoms, and (D) 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of at least one emulsifier member selected from the group consisting of nonionic emulsifiers, anionic emulsifiers and ampholytic emulsifiers. The total content of fatty alcohol, of diester and of glycerin fatty acid ester is from 25.
