Abstract: A bleaching and coloring composition for keratin fibers, including one or more alkalizing agents, one or more bleaching compounds, HC Blue 18 and/or a salt thereof, and tetrabromophenol blue and/or a salt thereof. A method for bleaching and coloring of keratin fibers, including mixing the bleaching and coloring composition with a second aqueous composition including hydrogen peroxide as one or more oxidizing agents and having a pH in the range of 1 to 6 to yield a ready-to-use composition having a pH in the range of 7 to 12, applying the ready-to-use composition onto the keratin fibers and leaving it for a time period of 1 to 60 min, and optionally heating the keratin fibers to a temperature in the range of 30° C. to 60° C., and rinsing-off the keratin fibers and optionally drying the keratin fibers.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition for improved dyeing of keratin fibers is described. The composition comprises alkoxylated organopolysiloxanes and alkoxylated glyceryl esters and/or optionally alkoxylated alkyl glyceryl ethers. The composition may comprise less than 40 wt % water, or may be anhydrous. The composition may further comprise a direct dye, and may be used for bleaching, lightening, or dyeing of keratin fibers.
