Cosmetic composition for coloring hair comprising a direct hair dye and a carrier system comprising polysaccharides

The present invention concerns cosmetic compositions for coloring hair comprising at least one direct hair dye and a carrier system for the at least one direct hair dye, and the use of such compositions in cosmetic formulations for coloring hair. To provide a possible way with which the permanence of the bond of direct hair dyes to the hair can be improved, with the aim of direct dyes remaining on the hair for as long as possible to deliver the desired hair color in the desired quality for as long as possible, according to the invention there are proposed compositions of the aforementioned kind in which the carrier system is vesicular and comprises vesicles which are made up from hydrophobised polysaccharides and have a particle size of between 10 and 1000 nm as well as a positive surface charge with a zeta potential in the range of between 1 and 150 mV.
