Claims
- 1. A process for nonpermanently dyeing human hair by applying a hair dye composition to the hair in an amount effective to color the hair, said process comprising
- 1. preparing said hair dye composition immediately before application of the same to the hair by incorporating into an aqueous carrier a dye in powder form, said dye being selected from the group consisting of
- a. a compound having the formula
- Y -- Ar.sub.1 - N = Ar.sub.2 = X
- wherein Ar.sub.1 and Ar.sub.2 each independently are selected from the group consisting of phenyl and pyridyl, each optionally substituted with a member selected from the group consisting of amino, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, acetylamino and halogen, Y represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydroxy and ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl and amino lower alkyl wherein the amino moiety is optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of acetyl, carbamyl and mesyl and X represents a member selected from the group consisting of oxygen, imine and iminium group, and
- b. a salt of the compound defined in (a), said composition containing 0.0005-2 percent by weight of said dye, and
- 2.
- 2. applying the thus prepared hair dye composition to the hair in an amount
- effective to color the hair. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said aqueous carrier also contains a lower alkanol.
- 3. The process of claim 2 wherein said lower alkanol is selected from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropanol.
- 4. The process of claim 1 wherein said aqueous carrier also contains hydrogen peroxide in an amount of about 1-6 percent by weight of said composition.
- 5. The process of claim 1 wherein said aqueous carrier also contains antioxidizing amounts of butyl hydroxy anisole.
- 6. The process of claim 1 wherein said aqueous carrier also includes a member selected from the group consisting of butylglycol and benzyl alcohol.
- 7. The process of claim 1 wherein said composition also includes a direct dye selected from the group consisting of an azo, an anthraquinone, a nitrobenzene and an oxazine dye.
- 8. The process of claim 1 wherein said composition also includes a cosmetic resin selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymer of crotonic acid and vinyl acetate, copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate and copolymer of maleic anhydride and butyl vinyl ether.
- 9. The process of claim 1 wherein said composition has a pH of 2.5-10.
- 10. The process of claim 9 wherein said composition has a pH of 4-10.
- 11. The process of claim 1 wherein said hair is dried subsequent to the application of said composition thereon without an intermediate washing or rinsing of said hair.
- 12. The process of claim 1 wherein said hair subsequent to the application of said composition thereon is washed and rinsed prior to drying said hair.
- 13. In the use of a dye for nonpermanently dyeing human hair with an aqueous hair dye composition containing said dye wherein said aqueous hair dye composition is applied to the hair, the improvement comprising incorporating said dye, in powder form, into an aqueous carrier so as to produce said hair dye composition immediately prior to applying the resulting hair dye composition to the hair, said hair dye being selected from the group consisting of
- 1. a compound having the formula
- Y - Ar.sub.1 - N = Ar.sub.2 = X
- wherein Ar.sub.1 and Ar.sub.2 each independently are selected from the group consisting of phenyl and pyridyl, each optionally substituted with a member selected from the group consisting of amino, hydroxy, lower alkoxy, lower alkyl, acetylamino and halogen, Y represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydroxy and ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl and amino lower alkyl wherein the amino moiety is optionally substituted by a member selected from the group consisting of acetyl, carbamyl and mesyl and X represents a member selected from the group consisting of oxygen, imine and iminum group, and
- 2. a salt of the compound defined in (1), said composition containing 0.0005-2 percent by weight of said dye.
