Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for improving the quality and durability of color in artificially colored hair. The methods employ pre-color treatments containing divalent metal salts of inorganic acids; monovalent or divalent metal salts of organic acids; and antioxidants, wherein the pre-color treatments are applied to hair prior to artificially coloring hair.
Claims30
A method for artificially coloring hair and inhibiting the coloring from fading, the method comprising:
- (a) treating hair with a pre-color treatment composition comprising:
- at least 0.5 wt. % of one or more divalent metal salts of an inorganic acid;
- at least 0.5 wt. % of one or more monovalent or divalent metal salts of an organic acid;
- and
- at least 0.5 wt. % of one or more antioxidants;
- all weights being based on the total weight of the pre-color treatment composition;
- and
- (b) treating the hair with a hair coloring composition comprising one or more colorants chosen from oxidative dye precursors, direct dyes, pigments, and mixtures thereof.
5 more elements
A multi-compartment kit for altering the color of hair, the kit comprising:
- (i) a pre-color treatment component comprising one or more divalent metal salts of an inorganic acid;
- one or more monovalent or divalent metal salts of an organic acid;
- and one or more antioxidants;
- (ii) a hair coloring composition comprising one or more colorants chosen from oxidative dye precursors, direct dyes, pigments, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (iii) an oxidizing composition comprising:
- (i) one or more oxidizing agents;
- and (ii) a cosmetically acceptable solvent chosen from water and a water/organic solvent mixture;
- wherein the one or more oxidizing agents are chosen from peroxides, persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, alkali metal bromates, ferricyanides, laccases, peroxidases, redox enzymes, their salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.

- and
- about 0.5 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of one or more antioxidants are chosen from ascorbic acid and its derivatives, sodium sulfite, sodium metabisulfite, sodium hydrosulfite, tocopherols, alpha-tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate, EDTA, panthenol, selenium sulfide, zinc formosulfoxylate, erythorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, thioglycolate salt, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, cysteine, thiourea, thiolactic acid, glyceryl monothioglycolate, thioglycerol, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), N,N′-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)ethylenediamine and its salts, and mixtures thereof;
- all weights being based on the total weight of the composition.
