Abstract
Abstract A hair treatment composition simultaneously tones, shampoos and conditions hair in from about one to about three minutes. The composition includes henna material having a natural lawsone component and a natural fixer component, an aqueous-based carrier having an acidic pH, a non-toxic organic solvent for extracting quantities of the natural lawsone and fixer components from the henna material, synthetic lawsone for making more coloring principle available, a fixing agent cooperating with the natural fixer component for fixing the natural lawsone component and/or synthetic lawsone to the hair, cleaning agents for shampooing the hair, and conditioning agents for conditioning the hair.
