Abstract

The invention concerns a new system to dye hair and/or skin. The system comprises the use of a hydroxyindole dye precursor and sodium periodate. Advantageously, this dye system allows the dye to penetrate inside the hair fiber without coating the hair shaft and, thus, give a more pleasing and stable dye result.
