An oxidative hair colorant composition dispensed from a manually-actuable, nonaerosol dispenser as a foam having benefical foam volume and viscosity characteristics. The oxidative hair colorant composition is essentially free of surfactant and contains one or more foam stabilizing agents, including, for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, methylcellulose, cecetylhydroxyethylcellulose, an acrylates/Steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer, an acrylates copolymer, an acrylate/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, vinyl pyrrolidone (VP), dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide (DMAPA), methacryoylaminopropyllauryldimonium chloride (MAPLAC), a polyethyleneoxide-polypropyleneoxide-polyethyleneoxide block polymer terminating in primary hydroxyl groups, or mixtures of these materials. |
