1. A dye composition comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing human keratin fibers:
(a) at least one direct dye chosen from cationic direct hydrazone dyes of formula (I) and tautomeric forms thereof:
[A-C(R3)═N—N(R1)—B]+X  (I)
wherein:
R1 and R3, which may be identical or different, are chosen from hydrogen and linear or branched C1-C10 alkyl radicals optionally bearing a hydroxyl group;
A is a fused or non-fused, optionally substituted cationic heterocycle chosen from pyrimidinone, indole, and benzothiazole rings; the ring A being linked to the carbon of C(R3) via a carbon atom;
B is a saturated or unsaturated, optionally substituted tricycle chosen from dibenzofurans, carbazoles, anthraquinones, and dibenzothienyls; the saturated or unsaturated tricycle B being linked to the nitrogen atom of the hydrazone function via a carbon atom of one of the three rings;
X is chosen from anions and mixtures of anions that are cosmetically acceptable;
(b) at least one cosmetic agent chosen from thickening polymers and surfactants.
