Disclosed are hair cosmetic compositions comprising at least two latex polymers selected from acrylate latex polymers and polyurethane latex polymers, wherein at least one latex polymer is a film-forming polymer, and at least one silicone-organic polymer compound. Methods of imparting durable styling or shaping benefits and/or frizz control to hair by applying the hair cosmetic compositions onto hair are also disclosed.

Hair cosmetic composition containing latex polymers and a silicone-organic polymer compound

Disclosed are waving compositions for waving of keratinous fibers, such as hair, containing a) a bisulfite compound, b) a sulfate compound or urea, and c) a lactone or about 0.3% or greater, by weight, of ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof, based on the total weight of the composition and methods of waving keratinous fibers by applying such compositions to keratinous fibers. Also disclosed is a multi-unit cosmetic kit for treating a keratinous fiber containing a) a first unit containing a first composition containing a bisulfite compound and a sulfate compound or urea, and b) a second unit containing a second composition containing a lactone or ascorbic acid or a derivative thereof.

Waving compositions

Disclosed are waving compositions for waving of keratinous fibers, such as hair, containing a) a bisulfite compound, b) a sulfate compound or urea, and c) a phenol, and methods of waving keratinous fibers by applying such compositions to keratinous fibers. Also disclosed is a multi-unit cosmetic kit for treating a keratinous fiber containing a) a first unit containing a first composition containing a bisulfite compound and a sulfate compound or urea, and b) a second unit containing a second composition containing a phenol.

Wave composition containing a bisulfite compound, a sulfate compound, and a phenol

A process for reducing curl and/or frizziness of hair comprising: (a) providing a composition for reducing curl and/or frizziness of hair, said composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier: (i) at least one non-hydroxide base; (ii) at least one protein denaturant different from (a)(i); (iii) at least one alkoxysilane comprising at least one solubilizing functional group; and (iv) optionally, at least one fatty substance; (b) contacting the hair with the composition in (a) to form treated hair; (c) optionally, rinsing the composition in (a) from the treated hair; (d) optionally, contacting the treated hair with a conditioning agent; (e) smoothing the treated hair using a combination of heat and means for physically smoothing hair to form smoothed hair; (f) optionally, shampooing the smoothed hair; and (g) rinsing the smoothed hair.
