Description

DYEING COMPOSITION FOR KERATINOUS FIBERS WITH DIRECT COLOR

  The invention relates to a dyeing composition for keratinous fibers, in particular for human keratinous fibers such as the hair, comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing, at least one dyeing agent. a cationic direct dye tetraazapenta-methinic ,, and which is characterized in that it further contains at least one oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactant. The invention also relates to dyeing processes and devices employing it. In the hair field, two types of coloration can be distinguished. The first is the semi-permanent or temporary coloring, or direct dyeing, which uses dyes capable of providing the natural color of the hair, a more or less marked color change possibly resistant to several shampoos. These dyes are called direct dyes; they can be used with or without an oxidizing agent. In the presence of oxidant, the goal is to obtain a lightening color. The lightening coloring is carried out by applying to the hair the extemporaneous mixture of a direct dye and an oxidant and makes it possible in particular to obtain, by lightening of the melanin of the hair, an advantageous effect such as a solid color. in the case of gray hair or bring out the color in the case of naturally pigmented hair. The second is permanent coloring or oxidation coloring. This is carried out with so-called "oxidation dyes" comprising the oxidation dye precursors and the couplers. The oxidation dye precursors, commonly called "oxidation bases", are initially colorless or weakly colored compounds that develop their dyeing power within the hair in the presence of oxidizing agents added at the time of use, while driving. the formation of colored and coloring compounds. The formation of these colored and coloring compounds results either from an oxidative condensation of "oxidation bases" on themselves, or from an oxidative condensation of "oxidation bases" on color-modifying compounds commonly called " couplers "and generally present in the dye compositions used in oxidation dyeing. To vary the shades obtained with said oxidation dyes, or to enrich them with reflections, It sometimes happens that they are added direct dyes.

  Among the cationic direct dyes available in the field of the dyeing of keratinous fibers, especially human fibers, the tetraazapenta-methine compounds, the structure of which is developed in the text that follows, are already known; nevertheless, these dyes lead to colorations which have characteristics still insufficient in terms of the power, of the homogeneity of the color distributed along the fiber, it is said that the coloring is too selective, and in terms of toughness, in terms of resistance to the various attacks that can be suffered by the hair (light, bad weather, shampoos).

  However, after extensive research conducted on the question, the applicant has now discovered that it is possible to obtain new compositions for dyeing keratinous fibers capable of leading to powerful and selectively selective colorations that otherwise resist well nevertheless to the various attacks that may be experienced by the hair, by associating at least one particular nonionic surfactant with at least one cationic direct tetraazapenta-methinic dye known from the prior art and formulas respectively defined below.

  The following dyeing composition was prepared: (contents expressed in grams of active material) Dye 1 according to the invention 0.2 Hydroxyethylcellulose 0.72 Oxyalkylenated nonionic surfactant: 9.00 TWEEN 21 (4 mole sorbitan monolaurate) of ethylene oxide) Benzyl alcohol 4.00 Preservatives 0.06 Boron buffer qs pH 9 50 demineralized water 100 The composition was applied on the one hand to locks of natural gray hair with 90% of white, on the other hand on strands of gray hair permed to 90% of white, for 30 minutes at temperature ambient (20 C).

  After the break time, the locks were rinsed, shampooed and rinsed and dried. They were dyed in a very selective low-chromatic violet-blue hue.

  Example 2 A result similar to that of Example 1 is obtained by replacing weight dye 1 with dye 2 and TWEEN 21 with ARLACEL 989.
