Abstract
Abstract Compositions for changing the color of hair by the action (direct or indirect) of compounds therein which release nascent oxygen, do less harm to the hair when they have a content of a water-soluble 3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diphosphonic compound. The compound can be in free acid or water-soluble salt or partial ester form. Hair which is pre-treated with one of the mentioned diphosphonic compounds is at least partially protected against the action of nascent oxygen.

An aqueous composition adapted to change the color of hair by the action of nascent oxygen therein, said composition having water, an oxidizing agent and an effective content of a diphosphonic compound selected from the group consisting of aminopropane diphosphonic acids of the formula ##STR2## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent H or C 1-3 alkyl, and the water-soluble salts thereof as an agent inhibiting the effect of said oxygen in degrading said hair.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
An aqueous composition adapted to change the color of hair by the action of nascent oxygen therein, said composition having water, an oxidizing agent and an effective content of a diphosphonic compound selected from the group consisting of aminopropane diphosphonic acids of the formula ##STR2## wherein R 1 and R 2 each represent H or C 1-3 alkyl, and the water-soluble salts thereof as an agent inhibiting the effect of said oxygen in degrading said hair.
