Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, is described. An agent (v) is applied to the keratinous material. The agent (v) includes at least one polyethylene glycol having an average molecular mass of 200 to 8000 g/mol, at least one aliphatic alcohol, and at least one alkalizing reagent application of an agent (a) to the keratinous material. The agent (a) comprises at least one organosilicon compound from silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms. An agent (b) is applied to the keratinous material, where the agent (b) includes at least one sealing reagent. At least one of agents (a) and (b) additionally includes at least one dyeing compound from the group consisting of pigments and direct dyes.
