Abstract: A two step high lift method for oxidatively coloring hair comprising a first step of applying to the hair a lifting mixture comprised of an aqueous oxidizing agent composition and a lifting composition to the hair for a period of time sufficient to lift the hair, followed by a second step of applying an inactivated oxidative dye composition for a period of time sufficient to color the hair, and a method for improving color vibrancy and tone, evenness of color, and reducing brassiness in high lift oxidatively colored hair.

Abstract: An oxidative dye composition comprising one or more oxidative dyes, at least one glyceryl ester, and at least one surfactant, a method for coloring hair, and a method for coloring First Grays and hair that has been chemically processed with a mild, easy to use, hair color.

Abstract: Methods, compositions, and kits for coloring hair and maintaining the color between oxidative dyeing procedures.

Abstract: A method for altering the color of hair comprising applying a bleach composition containing persulfate salts and at least one oxidizing agent to the desired strands of hair for a period of time sufficient to bleach the hair, removing the bleach composition from the hair but leaving at least some residual oxidizing agent on the bleached hair strands, then treating the hair with a colorant composition containing at least one dye operable to color hair in the presence of the residual oxidizing agent found on the bleached hair strands, said colorant composition being free of any oxidizing agents operable to react with the dye present therein to form color, whereby upon-contact with the colorant composition, the hair strands treated with the bleach composition having residual oxidizing agent thereon will react with the dye present in the colorant composition to cause the bleached hair strands to become colored, while any remaining unbleached hair will not become colored by contact with the colorant composition and

Abstract: A kit for oxidatively coloring hair comprising at least one receptacle containing an oxidative dye composition, at least one receptacle containing a developer composition, and at least one receptacle containing an aqueous based diluent composition; and a method for coloring hair by applying a portion of the oxidative dye mixture formed by combining the oxidative dye composition and the developer to the hair for a certain period of time followed by diluting the remaining portion of the oxidative dye mixture and applying it to the entire head of hair.

Abstract: A method for improving the dimensionality and fade resistance of oxidatively colored or lightened hair, a method for oxidatively coloring or lightening hair, a kit for use in practicing the method, and the related compositions.

Abstract: A hair bleach mixture obtained by combining an aqueous oxidizing agent composition and a persulfate composition comprising at least one hydrophobically modified particulate, said hydrophobically modified particulate being present in the mixture in an amount sufficient to reduce diffusion and/or migration of the mixture from the hair strands to which it is applied; and a method and kit for bleaching hair.

Abstract: A method for oxidatively coloring hair comprising applying to the hair fibers a first composition comprising at least one oxidative dye operable to color hair when reacted with an oxidizing agent, said first composition being free of such oxidizing agent and thereby inoperative, by itself, to color hair; removing said first composition from the hair but leaving residual oxidative dye in contact with the hair fibers; applying, for a time, and in an amount sufficient to color the hair, a second composition to the hair fibers comprising at least one oxidizing agent reactive with the at least one oxidative dye in contact with the hair fibers after removal of the first composition; and a kit for use in practicing the method.

Abstract: A hair color composition comprising, in a polar solvent, association structures having contained therein at least one water soluble or water dispersible dye that is operable to impart color to the hair when contacted therewith and a method for coloring hair.

Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing flowable products comprising a receptacle for storing the flowable product, and a combination closure and applicator integral with the receptacle, where the closure is operable to open and close the receptacle and the applicator to apply the product directly to the desired surface; and a method for applying the cosmetic compositions to the desired surface using the container.

Abstract: A cosmetic container and packaged hair treatment composition comprising a receptacle having at least one opening and containing the hair treatment composition, an applicator for applying the hair treatment composition in the receptacle to the hair, which is attachable to the at least one opening of the receptacle, the applicator containing an internal channel feeding into at least one internal chambers having at least one external outlet surrounded by tines, a method for applying highlights to the hair using the package.

Abstract: A method for altering the color of hair comprising applying a bleach composition containing persulfate salts and at least one oxidizing agent to the desired strands of hair for a period of time sufficient to bleach the hair, removing the bleach composition from the hair but leaving at least some residual oxidizing agent on the bleached hair strands, then treating the hair with a colorant composition containing at least one dye operable to color hair in the presence of the residual oxidizing agent found on the bleached hair strands, said colorant composition being free of any oxidizing agents operable to react with the dye present therein to form color, whereby upon contact with the colorant composition, the hair strands treated with the bleach composition having residual oxidizing agent thereon will react with the dye present in the colorant composition to cause the bleached hair strands to become colored, while any remaining unbleached hair will not become colored by contact with the colorant composition and

Abstract: A packaged hair color composition comprising a flowable aqueous semi-permanent hair dye composition contained in a container having a porous dispensing outlet which is operable to express the flowable aqueous hair dye composition onto the hair to be colored, a method for coloring hair, a method for touching up hair color between oxidative coloring procedures, and a kit for use in coloring the hair and touching up the hair color between oxidative coloring procedures.
