Hair-coloring compositions, aerosol products, and methods for coloring hair

An aerosol hair-coloring product comprising a canister, the canister comprising:

• a vapor phase comprising a propellant;
• and
• a hair coloring juice phase comprising:
• (a) about 0.01 to about 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the juice phase, of at least one direct dye selected from nitro-phenylenediamines, nitro-aminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes, indophenols, and a mixture thereof;
• (b) about 0.1 to about 25 wt. %, based on the total weight of the juice phase, of at least one nonionic film forming polymer selected from VP/VA copolymer (or PVP/VA copolymer), PVP, or a mixture thereof;
• (c) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. %, based on the total weight of the juice phase, of at least one anionic thickening agent selected from polyacrylate-3, carbomers, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymers, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, AMP-acrylates/allyl methacrylate copolymer, polyacrylate crosspolymer-6, a crosslinked methacrylic acid/ethyl acrylate copolymer (acrylates copolymer), and a mixture thereof;
• (d) at least 50 wt. % of water, based on the total weight of the juice phase;
• and
• (e) 30 wt. % or less of ethanol, based on the total weight of the juice phase;
• wherein the weight ratio of water to ethanol (water:ethanol) is about 2:1 to about 4:1;
• and wherein the juice phase comprises volatile organic compounds (VOC) in an amount of less than 35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the juice phase.

A hair coloring composition comprising:

• (a) about 0.01 to about 15 wt. % of at least one direct dye selected from nitro-phenylenediamines, nitro-aminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones, triarylmethane dyes, indophenols, and a mixture thereof;
• (b) about 0.1 to about 25 wt. % of at least one nonionic film forming polymer;
• (c) about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % of at least one thickening agent;
• (d) at least 40 wt. % of water;
• and
• (e) 40 wt. % or less of ethanol;
• wherein the weight ratio of water to ethanol (water:ethanol) is about 1:1 to about 5:1;
• wherein the hair coloring composition comprises volatile organic compounds (VOC) in an amount of less than 55 wt. %;
• and
• all percentages by weight are based on the total weight of the hair coloring composition.
