The present application relates to hair treatment formulations and methods of use in the cosmetics field. The hair treatment formulations include bis(2-ethylhexyl) maleate as the active agent, and may be used in bleaching, conditioning and styling hair.

Hair treatment formulations and uses thereof

Methods and kits for treating hair or preventing damage in the relaxing of hair are disclosed herein. Hair that is damaged during a relaxing treatment with hydroxide-containing relaxing agents, can be treated with formulations containing one or more active agents. The active agent formulations can be applied simultaneously with the hair relaxing formulation, or optionally applied immediately following application of the relaxing formulation, to reduce damage and breakage. Use of the active agent formulation along with a relaxing treatment can be used to control the level of curl achieved or retained in the relaxed hair, as compared to the natural amount of curl in the untreated hair.

Methods for treating relaxed hair

Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided.

Methods for fixing hair and skin

The present application relates to compounds, formulations, kits and methods of use in the cosmetics field. A cosmetic formulation comprising a diester compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a combination thereof, and one or more cosmetically acceptable carriers or excipients. The structures of compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) are shown below:

Diester cosmetic formulations and uses thereof

A method of treating keratin of a person is disclosed. The method includes contacting the keratin with a composition comprising a compound having a chemical structure of

The present application relates to compounds, formulations, kits and methods of use in the cosmetics field. A cosmetic formulation comprising a diester compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a combination thereof, and one or more cosmetically acceptable carriers or excipients. The structures of compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (II) are shown below: 

Methods, formulations, and kits for curling and/or preventing damage in the curling of hair are disclosed herein. Hair can be curled by treatment with hydroxide-containing agents, in combination with one or more active agents, without the need for thiol-based or peroxide-based agents. The active agent can be applied simultaneously with the hydroxide-containing agent, to impart curl to the hair. They may be applied as a combined formulation or as separate formulations applied simultaneously. Use of the active agent along with a hydroxide-containing agent can be used to control the level of curl imparted to hair, as compared to the natural amount of curl, if any, in the untreated hair.

Methods and formulations for curling hair

Formulations, kits, and methods for rebuilding the disulfide bonds in keratin found in hair, skin, or nails. Hair that is damaged due to a hair coloring treatment and/or other reducing treatment, such as during a permanent wave, can be treated with the formulations containing one or more active agents. The formulations may be applied subsequent to a hair coloring treatment or simultaneously with a hair coloring treatment. Use of the active agent formulations during a permanent wave treatment prevents the reversion of the hair to its previous state, for at least one week, preferably at least three months, more preferably at least one year, most preferably greater than one year, after one or more than one application of the formulation. Application of the active agent formulation to skin or nails can help repair damaged disulfide bonds due to natural wear and tear or natural aging.

Keratin treatment formulations and methods

Methods, formulations, and kits for curling and/or preventing damage in the curling of hair are disclosed herein. Treatment with one or more hydroxide-containing agents in combination with one or more active agents can reshape hair, without the need for sulfur-containing reducing agents. To impart curl to hair, the active agent(s) and the hydroxide-containing agent(s) are applied either as a combined formulation or as separate formulations which are applied simultaneously. Use of the active agent along with a hydroxide-containing agent allows the level of curl imparted to hair to be controlled, as compared to the natural amount of curl, if any, in the untreated hair.
