An agent for dyeing keratin-containing fibers, especially human hair, is comprised of a cosmetic carrier, and wherein each of R, Rand Ris independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C-Calkyl group, a C-Calkenyl group, a hydroxyl group, a C-Calkoxy group, a C-Chydroxyalkyl group, a C-Cpolyhydroxyalkyl group, a hydroxy C-Calkyloxy group, a sulfonyl group, a carboxyl group, a C-Calkoxycarbonyl group, a hydroxy C-Calkyloxycarbonyl group, a sulfonic acid group, a sulfonamido group, a sulfonamide group, a C-Cacyl group, a formyl group, a nitro group, a carbamoyl group &#x2014;C(O)&#x2014;NRR, or a &#x2014;(CH)NRRgroup wherein each of R, R, Rand Ris independently a hydrogen atom, a C-Calkyl group or a C-Chydroxyalkyl group; and n is number from 0 to 6, wherein Rand Rcan form a 5- or 6-membered aromatic or heteroaromatic ring; and (B) at least one CH-acidic compound.

Agent for dyeing keratin-based fibers

An aqueous hair-treatment preparation containing an antistatic additive imparting an antistatic effect to the hair, characterized in that said antistatic additive is at least one cationic polymer produced by the process of (1) epoxidizing 1,3-diene homopolymers or copolymers, (2) amine reacting the epoxide compound so produced with low molecular weight amines selected from the group consisting of primary amines, secondary amines and tertiary amines, and (3) converting the reaction products into the salt form or into polymeric quaternary ammonium salts. The use of these polymeric amine salts or quaternary ammonium salts in cosmetic hair-treatment preparations provides these preparations with antistatic effects. Preferred cationic polymers are obtained by the expoxidation of polybutadiene, of which more than 50% of the monomer units show the 1,4-cis- configuration, reaction with dimethylamine or morpholine and conversion into the hydrochlorides or alkylation with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride or ethylene oxide. The cationic polymers are preferably used in shampoos in quantities of from 0.5 to 5.0% by weight in addition to 5 to 30% by weight of alkylether sulfate tensides and 1 to 5% by weight of a zwitterionic or amphoteric washing-active substance.

Hair-treatment preparations containing as additive at least one surface-active phosphonic acid corresponding to general formula I, II or III below ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.5 -C.sub.21 alkyl, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, and R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, or, if R.sup.2 is --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, --NH.sub.2, and R.sup.4 represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a water-soluble salt thereof, improved the wet combability of hair and reduce its tendency to develop static charges. Octane-1-phosphonic acid, decane-1-phosphonic acid and dodecane-1-phosphonic acid or their salts are particularly effective. The phophonic acids are used in quantities of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, and preferably in quantities of from 0.1 to 2.0% by weight together with anionic tensides.

Hair-treatment preparation for improved wet combability

Hair-cosmetic compositions for improving the structure, resilience and strength of hair comprising a content of onic acids derived from aldohexoses or disaccharides containing a free aldehyde function and/or their .gamma.- or .delta.-lactones and a method of improving the structure and strength of hair, particularly hair which has been adversely affected by cosmetic treatments such as dyeing, bleaching, permanent waving, etc.

Cold permanent wave composition

This invention relates to a topical cosmetic preparation for treating oily hair or seborrhea which contains a sebosuppressively effective amount of at least one long-chain alkanol and at least one antioxidant.
