Method and compositions for coloring hair
View Patent ↗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.
1. An oxidative dye composition comprising one or more oxidative dyes and about 5 to 35% lecithin in a polar solvent that causes the lecithin to form an association structure and oxidatively color hair in about two to five minutes.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the oxidative dye comprises at least one primary intermediate and at least one coupler for the formation of oxidation dyes.
3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the association structure is a liquid crystal.
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the association structure comprises from about 0.1 to about 95% of the composition.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein the association structure is a micelle.
6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the association structure is a liposome.
7. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises one or more lipophilic ingredients.
8. The composition of claim 7 wherein the lipophilic ingredients comprise surfactants.
9. The composition of claim 7 wherein the lipophilic ingredients comprise fatty acids.
10. The composition of claim 7 wherein the lipophilic ingredients comprise fatty alcohols.
11. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition optionally comprises one or more thickening agents, one or more chelating agents, and one or more conditioners.
12. A method for coloring hair or revitalizing colored hair comprising:
a. application of the composition of claim 1 ; and
b. rinsing the composition in (a) from the hair at a time greater than two minutes and less than five minutes.
13. The method of claim 12 which provides Level 2 hair color.
14. A method for treating First Grays comprising:
a. application of the composition of claim 1 ; and
b. rinsing the composition in (a) from the hair at a time greater than two minutes and less than five minutes.
15. A composition for coloring hair comprising; an oxidative dye composition having about 5% lecithin combined with an aqueous developer composition comprising about 0.020-0.5% disodium EDTA, about 918% hydrogen peroxide (35%), about 0.5% acid, about 2% acrylates C10-C30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, about 0.5 to about 0.7% tetrasodium EDTA, about 0.7% triethanolamine,about 0.01% disodium phosphate, and QS water.
