Abstract

Process for dyeing keratinous fibres, comprising the step of applying to these fibres at least one composition A containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one mono- or di-hydroxyindole the application of the composition A being preceded or followed by the application of a composition B containing, in a medium appropriate for dyeing, at least one quinone derivative chosen from ortho- or para-benzoquinones, monoimines or diimines of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinones, sulphonimides of ortho- or para-benzoquinones, .alpha., .omega.-alkylene-bis-1,4-benzoquinones, or 1,2- or 1,4-naphthoquinone-monoimines or -diimines; the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles and the quinone derivatives being chosen such that the oxidation-reduction potential difference .DELTA.E between the oxidation-reduction potential E.sub.i of the mono- or di-hydroxyindoles, determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium on a vitreous carbon electrode by voltametry, and the oxidation-reduction potential E.sub.q of the quinone derivative determined at pH 7 in a phosphate medium by polarography on a mercury electrode and relative to a saturated calomel electrode is such that EQU .DELTA.E=E.sub.i …
