Definitions
- This invention relates to hair colouring compositions and methods for colouring hair, and more especially to hair colouring compositions which provide both colouring and conditioning to the hair from a single product.
- a hair colouring composition which delivers excellent colour to the hair but which, at the same time, reduces the damaging eifects commonly associated with hair dyes, especially oxidative hair dyes. Damaging effects include tangling, brittleness, dryness and hair breakage.
- a hair colouring composition which is convenient and quick to use and which can be used as part of the conventional hair cleansing and conditioning regime used by consumers in the bath or shower.
- hair colouring compositions for example, those based on oxidative dye technology, suffer from the disadvantage that they need to be left on the hair for a relatively long period of time, on average around 30 minutes, in order to allow enough time for a colour to develop on the hair.
- many such compositions are inconvenient to use.
- the hair is treated with a mixture of oxidative hair colouring agents and an oxidising agent.
- Hydrogen peroxide is the most commonly used oxidising agent.
- the product is sold as a kit containing separately packaged hair dye components and oxidising components. The consumer is then instructed to mix the two components together prior to application on the head. This is time consuming and messy for the consumer.
- the hair colouring composition of the present invention containing a hair colouring agent and a hair conditioning agent, wherein the composition has a certain level of conditioning, overcomes the problems of conventional hair colouring compositions based on oxidative dye technology, in particular in relation to providing excellent conditioning, reduced hair damage, tangling, brittleness, dryness andmessiness and increased convenience and ease of use. Indeed, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair colouring composition which canbe used as part of the conventional cleansing and conditioning routine used by consumers in the bath and shower.

- oxidative hair coloring agents can be used in the compositions according to the present invention.
- oxidative hair coloring agents consist essentially of at least two components, which are collectively referred to as dye forming intermediates (or precursors).
- Dye forming intermediates can react in the presence of a suitable oxidant to form a colored molecule.
- the dye forming intermediates used in oxidative hair colorants include: aromatic diamines, aminophenols, various heterocycles, phenols, napthols and their various derivatives. These dye forming intermediates can be broadly classified as; primary intermediates and secondary intermediates.
- Primary intermediates which are also known as oxidative dye precursors, are chemical compounds which become activated upon oxidation and can then react with each other and/or with couplers to form colored dye complexes.
- the secondary intermediates also known as color modifiers or couplers, are generally colorless molecules which can form colors in the presence of activated precursors/primary intermediates, and are used with other intermediates to generate specific color effects or to stabilise the color.
- Primary intermediates suitable for use in the compositions and processes herein include: aromatic diamines, polyhydric phenols, amino phenols and derivatives of these aromatic compounds (e.g., N-substituted derivatives of the amines, and ethers of the phenols). Such primary intermediates are generally colorless molecules prior to oxidation.
- the process by which color is generated from these primary intermediates and secondary coupler compounds generaUy includes a stepwise sequence whereby the primary intermediate can become activated (by oxidation), and then enjoins with a coupler to give a dimeric, conjugated colored species, which in turn can enjoin with another 'activated' primary intermediate to produce a trimeric conjugated colored molecule.
- oxidative dye primary intermediates include those monomeric materials which, on oxidation, form oUgomers or polymers having extended conjugated systems of electrons in their molecular structure. Because of the new electronic structure, the resultant oligomers and polymers exhibit a shift in their electronic spectra to the visible range and appear colored.
- oxidative primary intermediates capable of forming colored polymers include materials such as aniline, which has a single functional group and which, on oxidation, forms a series of conjugated imines and quinoid dimers, trimers, etc. ranging in color from green to black.
- Oxidative dyes known in the art can be used in the compositions according to the present invention.
