HAIR TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The invention provides a hair treatment composition suitable for application to dark hair, which composition comprises at least one melanin or melanin-type compound, characterised in that the melanin or melanin-type compound is of botanical origin. Preferably, the melanin source is a hydroglycolic extract of plants selected from at least three, most preferably all four, of the following species: Viola (violet), Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry), Indigofera tinctoria (indigo) and Sarathamnus scoparus. The composition is used to impart a "blue" shine to dark hair and protect hair against the damaging effects of UV radiation.
