Abstract
Creams and gelatinizable liquid which contain oxidation dyes and a vehicle, useful for dyeing hair, are disclosed. The vehicle includes at least one fatty acid, at least one alkalizing agent and at least one cationic polymer containing repeating units of the formula: ##STR1##
Claims21
A hair dyeing composition which comprises an oxidation dye in an amount effective to dye said hair and a vehicle, said vehicle comprising
- a fatty acid present in an amount of 5 to 30 percent by weight of said composition, said fatty acid having 12 to 20 carbon atoms;
- an alkalizing agent in excess of the stoichiometric amount of said agent which is effective to neutralize the fatty acid, said excess being from 1 to 30 percent of the total weight of said composition;
- benzyl alcohol present in an amount from 2 to 20% by weight of the composition so that an admixture of said composition with hydrogen peroxide has a creamy consistency;
- and
- 1to 15% by weight of the composition of a cationic polymer having repeating units of the formula ##STR15## wherein each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is identical and is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
- or wherein R.sub.1 is identical to R.sub.2, R.sub.3 is identical to R.sub.4, and R.sub.2 is different from R.sub.3, then each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms and each of R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is hydroxyalkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
- each of A and B is linear or branched alkylene or linear or branched alkenylene of 2 to 20 carbon atoms;
- --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --;
- --(CH.sub.2).sub.m --NH--CO--NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.m --;
- --CH.sub.2 CHOH--CH.sub.2 -- or --CH.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.4 --CH.sub.2 --;
- n and m are whole numbers, each of n and m being equal to 2 or 3;
