Method for levelling hair colour
The present invention relates to a method of leveling color of hair comprising applying to the hair a composition resulting from mixing two compositions, A and B, prior to application, wherein composition A is an aqueous composition and comprises at least one oxidizing agent and has an acidic pH, and a composition B is a substantially anhydrous composition and comprises at least one compound with bleaching effect and has a pH between 8 and 12, wherein the application processed for up to 10 min at a temperature between 20 and 45° C. before rinsing and optionally drying steps.
1. A method for levelling colour of hair comprising at least two parts wherein one part being the part not closer to scalp which is artificially colour changed to a lighter colour by means of lightening and/or colouring and/or bleaching than the other part closer to scalp which is undamaged and has its natural colour, characterised in that hair is optionally shampooed and optionally towel dried and the part directly at the scalp, preferably undamaged and having its natural colour, is applied a composition resulting from mixing two compositions, A and B, prior to application, wherein composition A is an aqueous composition and comprises at least one oxidizing agent and has an acidic pH, between 2 and 5 and composition B is a substantially anhydrous composition and comprises at least one compound with bleaching effect, and composition thus obtained has a pH between 8 and 12, and processed for up to 10 min, at a temperature between 20 and 45° C., and rinsed off from hair and hair is optionally dried.
2. A method according to claim 1 wherein composition B comprises at least one compound with bleaching effect at a concentration between 5 and 85% by weight calculated to total of composition B and selected from peroxides and ammonium salts and their mixtures.
3. A method according to claims 1 , wherein composition B comprises peroxides at a total concentration between 5 and 80% by weight and ammonium salts at a concentration between 0.1 and 10% by weight, both are calculated to total of composition B.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition B comprises at least one lipophilic ingredient.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition B comprises at least one polymer selected from non-ionic and cationic ones.
6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition B comprises at least one calcium salt.
7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition B comprises at least one direct dye.
8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition A comprises at least one oxidizing agent, of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration between 0.5 and 6% by weight, calculated to total of composition A.
9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition A comprises at least one surfactant selected from non-ionic, anionic, cationic and amphoteric ones, and their mixtures at a concentration between 0.1 and 15% by weight calculated to total of composition A.
10. A method according to claim 9 characterised in that wherein composition A comprises at least one surfactant selected from non-ionic and anionic ones, and their mixtures.
11. A method according to claim 1 , wherein composition A comprises at least one fatty alcohol.
12. A method according to claim 1 , wherein compositions A and/or B comprises at least one compound selected from thickeners, aminopropyl dimethyl polysiloxane/polyethyl oxazoline copolymers, ceramides, sterols, ubiquinones, yoghurt powder, diamide compounds and dipeptides.
13. A method according to claim 1 , wherein compositions A and B are mixed at a weight ratio between 10:1 and 1:1.
14. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the composition after mixing of compositions A and B at a weight ratio between 10:1 and 1:1 is in the range of 1000 and 15000 mPa·s measured with a Brookfield viscosimeter at 20° C. with Spindle 5 at 10 rpm.
