- R.sub.5 represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl and amino alkyl of the formula ##STR43## wherein n is 2-6 and R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 each independently represent a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl and hydroxy lower alkyl or together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a six-membered heterocycle selected from the group consisting of piperidinyl and morpholinyl; and
- Z is selected from the group consisting of
- a. hydroxyl
- b. ##STR44## wherein R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 each independently are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl, carbamyl lower alkyl, acetylamino ethyl, mesylamino lower alkyl and benzoylamino lower alkyl, and
- c. ##STR45## wherein n is 2-6 and R.sub.10 and R.sub.11 each independently are selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl and acetylamino, or together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached from a six-membered heterocycle selected from the group consisting of piperidinyl and morpholinyl;
- 2.
- 2. a salt of the diaminobenzoquinone of (1) with a mineral or organic acid; and
- 3. the quaternary ammonium salt of the diaminobenzoquinone of (1);
- said diaminobenzoquinone being present in an amount effective to dye said
- keratinic fibers. 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said diaminobenzoquinone is present in an amount of about 0.005-0.5 per cent by weight of said composition.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 having a pH between about 4-11.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 which also includes at least one other direct dye.
- 5. The composition of claim 4 wherein said other direct dye is selected from the group consisting of an azo dye, an anthraquinone dye, a nitrobenzene dye, an indophenol dye, an indoaniline dye and an indamine dye.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 which also includes a low molecular weight glycol in an amount of about 2-5% by weight of said composition.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 wherein said glycol is selected from the group consisting of butylglycol and propylene glycol.
- 8. The composition of claim 1 which includes about 5-70 per cent by weight of a lower aliphatic alcohol having 1-4 carbon atoms.
- 9. The composition of claim 8 wherein said alcohol is selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropanol.
- 10. The composition of claim 1 which also includes a cosmetic film forming resin in an amount of about 1-3 per cent by weight of said composition.
- 11. The composition of claim 10 wherein said cosmetic film forming resin is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, a copolymer of crotonic acid and vinyl acetate, a copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, a maleic anhydride-butyl vinyl ether copolymer, a terpolymer of methyl methacrylate, stearyl methacrylate and dimethyl methacrylate and a terpolymer of vinyl acetate, alkyl stearate and allyloxy acetic acid.
- 12. The composition of claim 8 wherein said alcohol is present in an amount of 20-70% by weight of said composition.
- 13. A process for coloring human hair comprising applying to said hair in an amount effective to color said hair the composition of claim 1, permitting said composition to remain in contact with said hair for a period of time ranging from about 1-30 minutes, rinsing said hair, washing said hair and drying said hair.
- 14. A process for coloring human hair comprising applying to previously washed and rinsed hair in an amount effective to color said hair the composition of claim 10, rolling said hair on curlers and drying said hair.
