          Application No. 09/319,165                                                  


                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appellants claim a composition for the oxidation dyeing            
          of keratin fibers such as human hair, and claim a dyeing process            
          which uses the composition.  Claim 25, directed toward the                  
          composition, is illustrative:                                               
               25. A ready-to-use composition for the oxidation                       
               dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising:                                  
               - at least one first oxidation base chosen from                        
               para-phenylenediamines and acid-addition salts thereof,                
               - at least one second oxidation base chosen from                       
               para-aminophenols and acid-addition salts thereof,                     
               - at least one coupler chosen from                                     
               2-methyl-5-N-($-hydroxyethyl)aminophenol and                           
               acid-addition salts thereof,                                           
               - at least one enzyme chosen from 2-electron                           
               oxidoreductases, and                                                   
               - at least one donor for said at least one enzyme.
