Description

This application claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to French Patent Application No. 05/08793, filed Aug. 26, 2005, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.


Disclosed herein are novel mixed cationic dyes comprising at least one anthraquinone chromophore and at least one cationic chromophore chosen from cationic azo chromophores and cationic hydrazone chromophores. Also disclosed herein are compositions for the dyeing of keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising at least one mixed cationic dye as defined herein. Further disclosed herein are methods of dyeing keratin fibers comprising applying at least one composition of the present disclosure to the fibers. Still further disclosed herein are kits comprising at least one compartment containing at least one composition of the present disclosure.


The dyeing of keratin fibers, for instance, human hair, with dyeing compositions comprising direct dyes is known. These compounds comprise colored and coloring molecules possessing affinity for the fibers. For example, the use of direct dyes chosen from benzene nitro dyes, anthraquinone dyes, nitropyridine dyes, azo dyes, xanthene dyes, acridine dyes, azine dyes, and triarylmethane dyes is known.


Conventionally, these dyes are applied to the fibers, optionally in the presence of an oxidizing agent, if the user wishes to obtain a simultaneous effect of lightening of the fibers. After a waiting time, the fibers are rinsed, optionally washed and dried.


The coloring that results from the use of direct dyes is temporary or semipermanent coloring, since the interactions that bind the direct dyes to the keratin fiber, and their desorption from the surface and/or from the core of the fiber are responsible for their low coloring power and their relatively poor resistance to washing and/or sweat.


Keratin fibers such as the hair can be dyed in chromatic shades, such as red or orange, simultaneously with lightening of the natural color of the hair. Mixed together, the chromatic direct dyes may make it possible to obtain, also in lightening conditions, aesthetic natural shades. However, changes of the dyes over time, for example, due to successive shampooings, may alter the color, causing an undesirable change from the natural color to a more chromatic color.


Thus, the present disclosure provides direct dyes that may make it possible to obtain natural shades without at least one of the drawbacks of the existing direct dyes.


Disclosed herein are direct dyes with which varied shades may be obtained without the problem of color change over time, that may be resistant notably to shampooing, and may be non-selective, in lightening or non-lightening formulas.


Also disclosed herein are novel mixed cationic direct dyes comprising at least one anthraquinone chromophore and at least one cationic chromophore chosen from cationic azo chromophores and cationic hydrazone chromophores, wherein the at least one anthraquinone chromophore is bound to the at least one cationic chromophore by means of at least one linkage.


The dyes disclosed herein may overcome at least one of the problems that are encountered in the prior art dyes. For example, they may make it possible to obtain dyeing in natural colors, in lightening conditions, which is uniform and is resistant, notably to shampooing.


Further disclosed herein is a composition for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing, at least one mixed cationic dye as defined herein.


Still further disclosed herein is a method of dyeing of keratin fibers comprising applying at least one dyeing composition of the present disclosure to the fibers.


Also disclosed herein is a method of lightening dyeing of keratin fibers comprising applying at least one dyeing composition of the present disclosure and at least one oxidizing composition to the fibers.


Further disclosed herein are kits comprising at least one compartment containing at least one composition of the present disclosure.


Other characteristics, aspects, objects, and advantages of the present disclosure will become clearer upon reading the description and the examples given below.
