Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coating mammalian or synthetic keratin material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second compounds respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on keratin material and textiles and especially on hair to form a coating that can be formulated to provide temporary coverage or provide permanent coverage. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating ranges from ready removability to substantially permanent lastingness.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a coloring composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic keratin fibers or keratinous surfaces. The composition comprising a medium, optionally pigment microparticles and at least one dye, in particular at least one peri-arylene dye dissolved in the medium. Methods of using such compositions are also described herein.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods for coloring keratinous substrates using solubilized vat dyes, as well as compositions and kits suitable for carrying out the methods. The disclosure also relates to novel solubilized vat dyes.

Abstract: The instant disclosure generally relates to a multicomponent composition for coloring mammalian or synthetic substrate material and textiles, the composition comprising a first and second components and a third component. The first and second components comprise first and second silicone polymers respectively. Any one or more of the first, second and third components may also comprise pigment microparticles. The first, second and third compounds meld together on substrate material and textiles and especially on hair to form a highly remanent colored coating. The multicomponent composition formed and set in situ as a solid linked coating has a substantially permanent pigment lastingness and minimally alters the substrate material and textiles.

Abstract: Card adaptor apparatus are disclosed herein. An example card adaptor apparatus includes a first frame having an outer perimeter configured to define a first card and an opening configured to receive a second card having a dimensional profile that is smaller than a dimensional profile of the first card. A first adhesive substantially spans across the entire opening of the first adaptor to retain the second card in the opening of the first frame.

Abstract: A navigation module for a handheld communication device having a navigation pad, a chrome-like area proximate the navigation pad, and a three-dimensional illumination area proximate the navigation pad. The three-dimensional illumination area can be interposed between the chrome-like area and the navigation pad. The chrome-like area can be interposed between the three-dimensional illumination area and the navigation pad.

Abstract: The dust-free coated dye-containing pellet is a granulated carrier material that is encapsulated with a dye-containing coating material. The dye-containing coating material contains a mixture of a water-soluble or water-dispersible film-former with at least one direct dye and/or at least one oxidation dye precursor. Preferred carrier materials include dextrose, oligosaccharides and cellulose compounds. The dust-free coated dye-containing pellet is preferably made by granulating the carrier material together with optional antioxidants and auxiliary agents, heating the resulting granulate at no more than 34° C., subsequently coating the granulate by spraying it with a solution or dispersion of the coating material and optionally drying as needed.

Abstract: The agent for coloring keratin fibers is free of chemical oxidants, is in the form of an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic dye-containing preparation, and contains a combination of oxidation dyes and at least three direct dyes. The agent is characterized by a quantitative ratio of oxidation dyes to direct dyes equal to 5:1 to 0.5:1. A method of dyeing hair is described in which the agent is applied to hair and allowed to act on the hair for an acting time of 5 to 60 minutes without addition of chemical oxidants, so that air oxidation provides a uniform and stable coloration of the hair.

Abstract: The present application relates to a multicomponent kit for dyeing keratin fibers which consists of (i) a dye carrier mass (A) which is free from dyes and dye precursors; (ii) a granular composition (B) which comprises at least one oxidation dye precursor and/or at least one direct dye and optionally at least one keratin-lightening or bleaching substance; and optionally (iii) a suitable oxidizing agent (C); to a method for dyeing keratin fibers and to the use of a combination of a dye-free dye carrier mass (A) and a granular dye-containing and optionally bleaching-agent-containing composition (B) and optionally an oxidizing agent (C) for the individual preparation of colorants for keratin fibers directly prior to dyeing or bleaching the keratin fibers.
