Process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing

Abstract

A process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing involving contacting the dyed hair fibers with a composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least two amino groups; (b) at least one anionic silicone; and (c) optionally, at least one surfactant, and wherein (a) is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to inhibit the dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing.

1 . A process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing comprising contacting the dyed hair fibers with a composition containing: 
 (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least two amino groups;    (b) at least one anionic silicone; and    (c) optionally, at least one surfactant, and    wherein (a) is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to inhibit the dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing.    
   
   
       2 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (a) is a polyethyleneimine.  
   
   
       3 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (a) is a polyvinylamine.  
   
   
       4 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (a) is a chitosan.  
   
   
       5 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (a) is present in an amount of from greater than 0 to about 30% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.  
   
   
       6 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (a) is present in an amount of from about 5% to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.  
   
   
       7 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (b) is a silicone phosphate.  
   
   
       8 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (b) is present in an amount of from greater than 0 to about 50% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.  
   
   
       9 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (b) is present in an amount of from greater than 0% to about 15% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.  
   
   
       10 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (c) is an anionic surfactant.  
   
   
       11 . The process of  claim 1  wherein (c) is present in an amount of from greater than 0% to about 80% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.  
   
   
       12 . The process of  claim 1  wherein the composition is a shampoo.  
   
   
       13 . The process of  claim 1  wherein the composition is a hair conditioning product.
