Abstract: A first hair coloring agent composition is a hair coloring agent composition comprising (A) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of p-phenylenediamine, toluene-2,5-diamine and their salts, (B) ?-naphthol and (C) resorcin (with the proviso that p-aminophenol is not contained), wherein the components (A) to (C) are contained in a total amount of 60 to 100% by weight when the total amount of dye components in the hair coloring agent composition is 100% by weight, and based on 1 part by weight of the component (A), the component (B) is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 1 part by weight, and the component (C) is contained in an amount of 0.45 to 1.5 parts by weight. A second hair coloring agent composition is a hair coloring agent composition further comprising (D) p-aminophenol in addition to the components (A) to (C), wherein the components (A) to (D) are contained in given amounts and in given weight ratios.

Abstract: A hair-coloring method comprises coloring hair having virgin hair portions and already-colored hair portions, wherein: (A) the virgin hair portions are colored with an oxidative hair-coloring agent (I) comprising an oxidative dye, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide and having an ammonia concentration of 0.2 to 3.0% by weight and a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 2.5 to 5.0% by weight, and (B) the already-colored hair portions are colored with an oxidative hair-coloring agent (II) comprising an oxidative dye, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide and having an ammonia concentration of 0.1 to 1.5% by weight and a hydrogen peroxide concentration of 0.01 to 2.0% by weight. Hair having virgin hair portions and already-colored hair portions can be colored in a uniform color tone over the whole hair.
