RELATED REQUESTS [001] This application claims priority to United States Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 288,668, filed on December 21, 2009, United States Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 288,676, filed on December 21, 2009, and United States Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 415,251, filed on November 18, 2010. The total contents of the preceding applications are therefore incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND [002] According to the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook, Decima Ed., 2004 (here incorporated by reference in its entirety), hair dyes (for example, materials that give hair color) are classified as temporary, semi-permanent, permanent, or progressive. [003] Temporary hair dyes include color rinses, which provide color that lasts until the first shampoo application. The ingredients that give temporary color can have a positively high molecular weight and are not able to penetrate the hair shaft. These materials are simply deposited on the hair fiber, and are removed by applying subsequent shampoo. [004] Direct dyes generally provide color through shampoo application. These materials are either pre-formed colored compounds of low molecular weight that can penetrate the hair shaft to some extent, or colored compounds of great molecular weight that interact with the surface of the hair fiber, via non-covalent interactions. [005] Oxidizing dyes are considered permanent hair coloring preparations, as they provide color that is not substantially removed by shampoo application. The oxidizing Colorado involves the deposition of an essentially colorless intermediate, and of a coupling agent within the hair fiber. In the presence of an oxidizing agent, usually hydrogen peroxide, these chemicals form a series of complex colored dyestuffs within the hair fiber. Colorado progressive hair preparations are oxidizing hair colors that develop gradually through repeated applications. [006] While oxidizing dyes may be preferred due to their long-lasting Colorado, they do have some disadvantages in targeting coloring preparations. For example, direct dyes are more vibrant and provide a more "pure" color than oxidizing dyes. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the "pure" color of direct dyes is due to the generally higher extinguishing coefficients and narrower peak widths at half height than oxidizing dyes. Oxidizing dyes can also participate in later reactions during the application process which can affect the final color of the hair, and act less well on damaged hair. Therefore, it would be desirable to develop non-oxidizing dyes with the color and vibration of a direct dye and the long-lasting color fastness of an oxidizing dye that optionally acts better on damaged hair than on undamaged hair. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [007] The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that certain functionalized non-oxidizing dyes exhibit enhanced color fastness and vibration compared to other dyes (for example, oxidizing dyes and / or direct dyes). Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide such dyes and compositions thereof, as well as methods of using such dyes and kits comprising them. [008] Consequently, in one aspect, the present invention provides a functionalized dye comprising at least one chromophor and a color fastness portion, wherein the chromophor is attached to the color fastness portion by a binder, wherein said functionalized dye they have an enhanced color fastness compared to a non-functionalized direct dye.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0075] Figures la and lb compare the color fastness of a commercially available red dye (figure la) with the color fastness of compound A (figure lb) immediately after application to the hair (la and lb; left strands) and after 15 cycles of shampoo (la and lb; straight straps). [0076] Figures 2a and 2b compare the color fastness of a commercially available red dye applied to heavily damaged hair (figure 2a) with the color fastness of compound A applied to strips having the same damage (figure 2b) immediately after application to the hair and after 15 cycles of shampoo. The left side of each pair is the starting color, while the right side of each pair is the result after shampooing. The last lock in both 2a and b does not have a pair of shampoo application (only the initial color has been examined). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0077] In order to describe more clearly and precisely the subject matter of the claims, the following definitions are intended to provide guidance for the meaning of the terms used here. [0078] As used herein, the articles "o" and "one" mean "one or more", or "at least one", unless otherwise indicated. That is, referring to any element of the present invention by indefinite articles "o" or "one" does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present. L COLORING [0079] It should be noted that the term "dye" and "compound" can be used interchangeably. [0080] In some aspects, the present invention provides functionalized dyes. The "functionalized dye" language includes dyes having at least one chromophor that has been chemically modified. The "non-functionalized dye" language includes dyes that have at least one chromophor that has not been chemically modified. In some embodiments, the non-functionalized dye is a chromophor, C, as defined below. [0081] In other respects, the present invention provides selective damage dyes. The language "selective damage dye" includes dyes that work better on damaged hair than on normal hair (for example, undamaged hair). The term "damaged hair" includes hair that is more porous than normal hair due to chemical exposure (for example, bleaching or over-coloring of hair, exposure to chemicals in swimming pools or minerals in groundwater), prolonged or repeated exposure to heat (for example, through the use of heat styling tools or excessive exposure to the sun), prolonged exposure to UV, excessive permeation and hair styling, or a genetic predisposition to having more porous hair. In one embodiment, damaged hair includes hair with split ends. The language "normal hair" includes hair that is of normal porosity (for example, undamaged hair), and may include non-bleached or colored hair. [0082] In some aspects, the invention provides non-oxidizing dyes. The language "non-oxidizing dye" includes dyes that are preformed before application to the hair and do not require a coupling agent or an oxidizing agent to form the dye after depositing on the hair. In contrast, the language "oxidizing dye" includes dyes that are formed by applying an intermediate, a coupling agent and an oxidizing agent to the hair so that the intermediary and coupling agent penetrate the hair and withstand chemical reaction to form a dye colored inside the hair. [0083] In some embodiments, the dyes of the invention have greater color fastness than a semipermanent dye (for example, a level 2 dye, or a dye that lasts for about 5-8 shampoos). In some embodiments, the dyes of the invention have greater color fastness than a permanent dye (for example, a level 3 dye, or a dye that lasts for about 9 or more shampoos). The language "greater color fastness" includes the ability of the dye to have an improved resistance to color change, or color fading after application to the hair when compared to a direct dye or an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color. [0084] In some embodiments, the dye is retained and gives color to the hair after application to the hair. The "retained and colored" language includes the ability of the dye to remain in the hair and provides the desired color with substantially no change in color, or color fading after a period of time compared to a direct dye or an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color, and after substantially the same period of time, as measured by the visual inspiration test described in Example 4. In some embodiments, the dye is retained and colors the hair after application to at least about 5%, about 10 %, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95% or about 100% longer than a direct dye or an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color. [0085] In other embodiments, the dye has greater vibration after application to the hair. The language "greater vibration" includes the ability of the dye to provide a brighter color after application to the hair, compared to an oxidizing dye, as measured, for example, by the visual inspiration test described in Example 4, or by a colorimeter. In some embodiments, the dye provides vibration which is about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95% or about 100% greater than an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color. [0086] In other embodiments, the dye maintains its vibration after application to the hair. The language "maintains vibration" includes the ability of the dye to retain its luster after a period of time compared to an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color after substantially the same period of time, as measured by the visual inspection test described in Example 4. In some embodiments, the dye maintains its vibration for about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90% , about 95% or about 100% longer than an oxidizing dye of substantially the same color. [0087] In some embodiments, the dyes of the invention are non-ionic (for example, the dyes do not have a positive charge (for example, non-cationic), or negative charge (for example, non-anionic). [0088] Examples of anionic and cationic dyes include, but are not limited to, those in Table 1. [0089] In some embodiments, the dye is fluorescent. [0090] In other embodiments, the dye is an unnatural dye (for example, a dye obtained from a natural source, for example, a plant, animal or mineral). Examples of dyes obtained from natural sources include, for example, indigo, carminic acid, lawsone (e.g., henna), lycopene, madder, monascus derivatives, santalin, annatto, apigenin, canthaxanthin, capsantin, capsorubin, carotenes, cartamin, crocin , crocetin, curcumin, lutein, luteolin, pratol, caramel, coconut, chlorophyll and indigo. [0091] In still other embodiments, and without being bound by theory, the dye interacts with the hair through non-covalent interactions after application to the hair. Examples of non-covalent interactions include, for example, hydrogen bonding, pi stacking, Ovan der Waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and dipole-dipole interactions. [0092] In some embodiments, the dye is a functionalized or intermediate oxidant dye precursor that is capable of additionally reacting chemically within the typical hair fiber of oxidizing dyes (e.g., functionalized para-phenylene diamine) so that the reacted dye final has a longer color duration than the non-functionalized dye. [0093] In one embodiment, the dye is of formula la: C-L-F (la) [0094] where [0095] C and a chromophor, L and a ligand e; [0096] F is a portion of color fastness, and cosmetically acceptable salts thereof. [0097] In other embodiments, the dye and formula lb: C-L-F-L * -C * (lb) [0098] where [0099] C and C * are each the same or different chromophores; [00100] L and L * are binders, and [00101] F is a portion of color fastness, and cosmetically acceptable salts thereof. [00102] The term "chromophore" includes chemical portions that are capable of providing color to the dyes of the invention. In some embodiments, the chromophore is a colored portion before being covalently bound to L and / or L * and / or F. In other embodiments, the dye resulting from covalently bonding L and / or L * and / or F to C or C * when CouC * and a colored portion provide a molecule with the same or a different color than C or C *. In some embodiments, when C or C * are non-colored molecules, covalent attachment of C or C * to L and / or L * and / or F results in a colored molecule. [00103] In some embodiments, the chromophor (for example, C or C *) is selected from the group consisting of an anthraquinone chromophor, an arylmethane chromophor, a diarylmethane chromophor, a dimethyl methane chromophor, a triarylmethane chromophore, an azo chromophor, a cyanine chromophor, a diazonium chromophor, a nitro chromophor, a nitrous chromophor, a phthalocyanine chromophor, an quinine imine chromophor, an azin chromophor, a eurodin chromophore, a safranin chromophore, a safranin chromophore chromophor of indamin, chromophor of indophenol, chromophor of oxazin, chromophor of oxazone, chromophor of thiazine, chromophor of thiazole, chromophor of fluorine, chromophore of fluorine, chromophore of pironin, chromophore of fluorine, chromophore of fluorine rhodamine chromophor, a substituted benzene or derivative, or cosmetically acceptable salts thereof. Examples of the preceding chromophores include, but are not limited to, those compounds found in Table 1. [00104] In at least one embodiment, the present invention includes dyes wherein the "C" or "C *" substituent of formulas la and lb and a known chromophor, for example, including, but not limited to, a chromophor listed in Table 1 below. In this embodiment, the dyes of the invention include an "L" or "L *" substituent and / or and "F" substituent, which are defined above, in addition to the chromophores.

Example 2: Exemplary Formulations [00529] The formulations placed below have been prepared to test certain dyes of the invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to determine the appropriate amounts or ranges of the formulation components with no more than expert routine mentoring. Example 3. Evaluation of Colorimetry of the Examplar Dyes of the invention [00530] Materials: Light blond virgin hair, light brown, medium virgin brown, and medium brown bleached were purchased from International Hair Importers (Glendale, NY). Concentrated bleaching P6 BW 2000 Ultra, 20V Pure White Hydrogen Peroxide, and 40V Pure White Hydrogen Peroxide were purchased from Clairol Professional (Stamford, CT). The shampoo was a solution of 7.5% (w / w) sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS, Spectrum Chemical, Gardena, CA) in deionized water. [00531] Bleaching: A quantity of 1 gram of virgin hair from International Hair Importers was used, which was thick enough that when laid flat on a surface, the base was not seen. The white paste was recently produced before use by mixing 5.57 grams per 10 ml of BW 2000 Ultra concentrated bleaching powder with 10 ml per 20 V pure white hydrogen peroxide solution. The thick white ruffled paste was spread quickly. on both sides of the strands of hair, and then the set time has started. The paste was then spread evenly with the fingers (gloves) on the board so that the last one was well saturated. The mat was wrapped in aluminum foil, and allowed to stand for a total of 30 minutes at room temperature after which the mat was completely rinsed with water. Shampoo was applied with a 7.5% SLS solution, rinsed and dried. For quick drying, the strips were left in the humidity chamber at 20% Relative Humidity, 50 ° C for 20 minutes. Blow drying was avoided so as not to tangle the hair and induce damage. The hair was also sometimes dried with air for at least 3-4 hours. The procedure was repeated up to 3 times if triple bleached hair was desired. [00532] Color treatment: The batch / paste of dye should be enough to involve the hair and saturate the hair (about 5 grams of paste per 1 gram of hair). When several strands have been colored at the same time, there are delay times between the application of the dyes or shampoos that can make the tones and shadows of the dyes different for each strand. In order to minimize any discrepancy in color, the dye mixture was quickly spaced on both sides of the mat, and the set time began. The dye was then applied through each layer and sealed in foil as quickly as possible. After the color was developed (usually for 30 minutes), the cover was completely rinsed. The strips that had dye applied through them were rinsed to minimize the time difference. [00533] Final color: The final color was determined by applying shampoo. Application of multiple shampoos can be done in a series without drying. The washing experiments were done in a consistent manner. Shampoo cycles involve the hair being foamed in a controlled manner with an SLS 7.5% (w / w) solution for 15 seconds, and rinsed for 15 seconds under hot water at 35 (+ 5) ° C. This process was done 15 -25 times to stimulate the number of shampoos for 4-6 weeks after a consumer has colored their hair. [00534] Performance Evaluation: One gram of plain bleached hair from International Hair Importers was (a) colored with a commercial red dye, (b) treated with a commercially available non-red kit for 30 minutes at temperature environment to "elevate" the hair (for example, make the hair more porous), followed by immersion in a 0.6% (w / w) solution of compound A in a 1: 1 mixture of EtOH: phosphate buffer, pH 4.5 for 10 minutes at room temperature. [00535] After completing the color treatment process, the strips were rinsed until the water drained clear, and shampoo was applied and rinsed once. The strips were then applied with shampoo, as described above. The results, shown in figure 1, demonstrate that colored streaks with compound A (figure 1b) significantly resist fading, have a greater solidity of core, and are brighter than colored streaks with the conduction of commercial red dye ( figure la) after the same number of washes. [00536] In a second test to determine the effect of the dyes of the invention on damaged hair, medium blond virgin hair, single bleached (commercial), medium brown virgin hair 3X40 V, platinum (double bleached commercial), medium virgin hair 6X40 V, and medium brown virgin hair 9X40 V, were (a) colored with, or the commercially available red dye (1 of a cream dye to 1 mL of 20V peroxide) for 30 minutes at room temperature, or (b) treated with a commercial kit laurel available, such as L'Oreal Superior Preference 9Vi NB, or with a colorless base prepared on site for 30 minutes at room temperature to "elevate" the hair (for example, make the hair more porous), followed by immersion 0.6% (w / w) solution of compound A in a 1: 1 mixture of EtOH: phosphate buffer, pH 4.5 for 10 minutes at room temperature. The results, shown in figure 2, demonstrate that increased damage (moving from left to right through figure 2), the commercial red conduction dye exhibits significant fading and loss of color (figure 2a). In contrast, colored strands with compound A demonstrated a color fastness for inverse porosity property. That is, with increased damage to the hair, compound A provides greater color deposits and greater color fastness, compared to the commercially available red dye in similarly damaged hair. Example 4. Visual Inspection of Exemplary Dyes of the Invention [00537] To determine the extent of color fastness and vibration, a number of braids are prepared as described above in Example 3. After the locks are dried, a visual inspiration comparing the locks with control locks is performed to assess vibration and color fastness of dyes. A scale of 1 to 4 is then used to rate the vibration and color fastness compared to the control locks, as shown below. In addition, the compounds of the present invention were analyzed for color fastness in hair strands using a Konica Minolta Chroma CR-400 Meter with the SpectraMagic ™ NX Lite CM-SIOOw 1.91.0002 software package, and were checked for color after cycles shampoo. Vibration scale = no vibration when compared to control 1 = little vibration when compared to control 2 = some vibration when compared to control 3 = substantially the same vibration when compared to control 4 = greater vibration when compared to the control Color fastness scale 1 = no color when compared to control 2 = little color when compared to control 3 = some color when compared to control 4 = substantially the same color when compared to control 5 = greater color when compared to control Equivalents [00538] Those skilled in the art will recognize, or be able to determine the use of, no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments of the invention described herein.
