Abstract

The disclosure relates to 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. The air oxidation haircolor composition can include: 1) at least one primary oxidation dye intermediate; 2) at least one aromatic triol; and 3) water.

Claims (29)

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 lamellar phase.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is applied at least once per week.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is applied at least once daily.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition is removed from the hair within 1 to 10 minutes after application.

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

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

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

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition further comprises at least one conditioning agent.

9. The method of claim 6 , 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.

10. The method of claim 8 , 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.

11. 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.

12. The method of claim 11 , 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.

13. The method of claim 11 , 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.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the air oxidation haircolor composition comprises 1,2,4-benzenetriol.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least about 80 weight % of surfactants in the air oxidation haircolor composition can form bilayers.

16. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the at least one cleansing surfactant is an anionic, an amphoteric, or a nonionic cleansing surfactant.

17. The method of claim 6 , 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.

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