A process for straightening or relaxing hair involving the steps of: (a) providing a hair straightening/relaxing composition containing: (i) from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight of at least one non-hydroxide base; (ii) from about greater than 0% to about 50% of at least one protein denaturant; and (iii) remainder, to 100%, a cosmetically acceptable medium, all weights based on the weight of the hair straightening/relaxing composition; (b) contacting the hair with the hair straightening/relaxing composition to form treated hair; (c) optionally, rinsing the hair straightening/relaxing composition from the treated hair; (d) optionally, contacting the treated hair with a non-volatile oil; and (e) smoothing the treated hair using a combination of heat and means for physically smoothing hair.

Use of a composition and process involving the use of a non-hydroxide base and a protein denaturant with heat for relaxing or straightening hair

A process for straightening or relaxing hair involving the steps of: (a) providing a hair straightening/relaxing composition containing: (i) from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight of at least one weak non-hydroxide base; and (ii) remainder, to 100%, a cosmetically acceptable medium, all weights based on the weight of the hair straightening/relaxing composition; (b) contacting the hair with the hair straightening/relaxing composition to form treated hair; (c) optionally, rinsing the hair straightening/relaxing composition from the treated hair; (d) optionally, contacting the treated hair with a non-volatile oil; and (e) smoothing the treated hair using a combination of heat and means for physically smoothing hair.

Use of a non-hydroxide base with heat for relaxing or straightening hair

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

The present invention is drawn to an aqueous composition containing: (a) at least one fatty monoamine; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one compound chosen from an alkyl ether carboxylic acid, an alkyl ether carboxylate, a fatty acid having from about 6 to about 40 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition is homogeneous and clear to substantially clear in appearance.

Aqueous fatty monoamine-containing systems for water-insoluble materials

The present invention relates to a composition for the protection of keratinous fibers containing at least one compound chosen from ceramides and glycoceramides, at least one cationic polymer, and at least one amphoteric polymer; to a process and kit for protecting keratinous fibers from damage caused by chemical treatment by applying, prior to chemical treatment, to the keratinous fibers a leave-in composition comprising at least one compound chosen from ceramides and glycoceramides.

Protection of keratinous fibers using ceramides and/or glycoceramides

A composition for durable non-permanent shaping or durable retention of a non-permanent shape of least one keratinous fiber comprising:

Heat activated durable styling compositions comprising saccharide type compounds and film forming agents

The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to treat keratinous substrates. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate. The compositions contain at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for treating keratinous substrates involve contacting the keratinous substrates with the compositions of the disclosure.

Compositions and methods for treating keratinous substrates

A process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing involving contacting the dyed hair fibers with a composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound having at least two amino groups; (b) at least one anionic silicone; and (c) optionally, at least one surfactant, and wherein (a) is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to inhibit the dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing.

Process for inhibiting dyed hair fibers from losing their color during shampooing

The present invention relates to a composition comprising: Such a composition is clear in appearance, and stable. The present invention also relates to a method of making such a clear composition, and to a method of cosmetic treatment of a keratinous substrate using such a composition.

Clear carrier compositions for lipophilic compounds, and method of treating keratinous substrates using such compositions

The present invention is drawn to a carrier composition containing: (a) at least one polyamine compound comprising at least two amino groups; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; and (d) at least one water-insoluble material, and wherein the composition, when combined with an aqueous phase, forms an aqueous delivery system which is both stable, and clear to slightly hazy/limpid in appearance.

Aqueous polyamine-containing carrier systems for water-insoluble materials

The present invention is drawn to a composition and process for inhibiting hair from becoming frizzy when exposed to high and/or low humidity, the composition containing: (a) at least one fatty quaternary amine; (b) at least one nonionic surfactant; (c) at least one anionic silicone; (d) at least one water-insoluble material; (e) at least one cationic polymer; and (f) at least one film former, different from (e).
