Description

A COMPOSITION FOR DYEING AND / OR LIGHTENING KERATIN FIBERS AND METHODS THEREOFFIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of personal care products, particularly to a composition for dyeing and / or lightening keratin fibers, in particular hair and methods thereof.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] There is a growing trend in the use of personal care products, as more people become conscious of hair cosmetics that are both safe and aesthetically appealing. This is especially important for hair dye users, who are mindful of choosing sustainable products. Keratin fibers such as hair are susceptible to chemicals, and prolonged exposure to formulations based on harsh chemicals weakens the hair, causing it to become dry. Such dry and damaged hair also becomes tangled and lacks softness.

[0003] As a result, the prevailing trend is moving towards more eco-friendly formulations for dyeing and / or lightening keratin strands. These products frequently use natural ingredients that are kinder to the hair, preserving its health and integrity while achieving the desired color or lightening effects. These hair dye products minimize petrochemical content and provide environmental advantages.

[0004] Thus, there is always a need for a composition for dyeing and / or lightening keratin fibers that can provide sustainable hair coloring together with improved hair conditioning, ease of detangling, and softening of the hair.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
