Gradual haircolor compositions and methods of using the same

1. A method for gradually coloring hair comprising the steps of:

a) applying an air oxidation haircolor composition to hair;

b) removing the air oxidation haircolor composition from the hair directly after application; and

c) repeating a set comprising the steps a) and b) in multiple spaced intervals,

wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises a grooming agent selected from the group consisting of: at least one cleansing surfactant; at least one conditioning agent, where a conditioning agent content is about 0.5% to about 15% weight by weight; and any combination thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises the at least one cleansing surfactant, and wherein a cleansing surfactant content in the air oxidation haircolor composition is greater than 5% to about 50% weight by weight.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises the at least one conditioning agent.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set comprising the steps a) and b) simultaneously cleanses and gradually colors the hair, and wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is an air oxidation haircolor shampoo composition.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set comprising the steps a) and b) simultaneously conditions and gradually colors the hair, and wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is an air oxidation haircolor conditioning composition.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set comprising the steps a) and b) simultaneously cleanses, conditions, and gradually colors the hair, and wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is an air oxidation haircolor shampoo and conditioning composition.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition further comprises:

at least one primary oxidation dye intermediate;

at least one aromatic triol; and

water.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a primary oxidation dye intermediate content in the air oxidation haircolor composition is about 0.1% to about 3% weight by weight, an aromatic triol content in the air oxidation haircolor composition is about 0.1% to about 3% weight by weight, and a water content in the air oxidation haircolor composition is about 40% to about 98% weight by weight.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition further comprises at least one aromatic triol.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one aromatic triol is selected from the group consisting of: 1,2,4-benzenetriol, 2,4,5-trihydroxytoluene, pyrogallol, and any combination thereof.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises 1,2,4-benzenetriol.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises the at least one cleansing surfactant, and wherein the at least one cleansing surfactant comprises:

at least one anionic cleansing surfactant selected from the group consisting of at least one sulfosuccinate and at least one isethionate;

at least one sultaine;

at least one alkyl poly glucoside; and

at least one fatty derivative.

13. The method of claim 1 , comprising repeating the set comprising the steps a) and b) in multiple spaced intervals to gradually increasingly color the hair.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is applied at least once per week.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is applied at least once daily.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of removing the air oxidation haircolor composition is performed within 15 minutes after application.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of removing the air oxidation haircolor composition is performed within 10 minutes after application.

18. An air oxidation haircolor shampoo composition comprising:

an air oxidation hair dye;

at least one cleansing surfactant; and

optionally, at least one conditioning agent, where a conditioning agent content is about 0.5% to about 15% weight by weight,

wherein the air oxidation haircolor shampoo composition cleanses hair, and

wherein the air oxidation haircolor shampoo composition gradually colors hair with repeated use.

19. The composition of claim 18 , wherein the at least one cleansing surfactant is an anionic, an amphoteric, or a nonionic cleansing surfactant.

20. The composition of claim 18 , comprising the at least one conditioning agent.

21. The composition of claim 18 , further comprising at least one anti-dandruff agent.

22. The composition of claim 18 , wherein the at least one cleansing surfactant forms a lamellar phase.

23. The composition of claim 18 , further comprising 1,2,4-benzenetriol.

24. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition further comprises at least one anti-dandruff agent.

25. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises the at least one cleansing surfactant.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein the at least one cleansing surfactant forms a lamellar phase.
