Abstract: Composition for dyeing or bleaching hair, to be mixed with an oxidizing solution at the time of use and containing:(a) a fatty acid soap,(b) a cationic or amphoteric silicone polymer,(c) a cationic surface agent,(d) an alkalifying agent, and(e) a cationic polymer chosen from quaternary polyammonium polymers, quaternized or unquaternized vinylpyrrolidone/dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate copolymers, poly(methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride), cationic proteins and polyaminoamides which may crosslinked or alkylated.When these compositions are intended for dyeing hair, they also contain oxidation dye precursors and, if desired, couplers, as well as a reducing agent.This composition, which foams slightly, allows a very easy distribution throughout the hair and it improves the cosmetic properties of the hair, especially its disentangling, and imparts a silky feel thereto.

Abstract: Detergent cosmetic composition stable on storage, comprising in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium:(a) a soap,(b) a silicone cationic polymer consisting of a polysiloxane in which one or more of the silicon atoms are substituted with an aliphatic amino group,(c) a cationic surfactant, and(d) a cationic polymer chosen from cationic polysaccharides and cationic cyclopolymers(e) a direct dye.

Abstract: The dyeing compositions of the invention comprise at least one violet nitro dyestuff having a shade, on the Munsell scale, ranging from 7.5 P to 10 PB, and at least one yellow nitro dyestuff having a shade, on the Munsell scale, ranging from 10 Y to 2.5 Y, these violet and yellow dyestuffs being present in proportions such that their selectivity coefficients are substantially equal, the coefficients being from 3 to 8 when determined at a concentration of 0.1 to 0.6% by weight, the ratio by weight of the violet dyestuff to the yellow dyestuff being from 1:1 to 3:1.
