Abstract
There is provided a method for enhancing a chroma of hair which comprises the steps of shampooing the hair with a water-based shampoo containing (A) 5 to 20% by weight of an anionic surfactant, (B) 0.1 to 5% by weight of a water-insoluble modified silicone containing at least one of an amino group and a quaternary ammonium group in a molecule thereof, and (C) a water-soluble salt in an amount capable of allowing the component (B) to be present in a solubilized state; applying a water-based conditioner containing a higher alcohol having 12 to 28 carbon atoms and a cationic surfactant at a molar ratio of 1:1 to 10:1 to the shampooed hair; and rinsing the hair. The method is capable of allowing an inherent color of hair, a dull color of damaged hair or a color of hair dyed by coloring to look clearer or more vivid, or maintaining a clearness of the color of hair.
