Methods of permanent shaping and volumizing hair that are gentle and prevent overcurling are described. In one method using curlers to curl the hair, an alkaline permanent shaping composition having a pH of 7.6 to 11 and including a hair keratin-reducing substance is applied to the hair and allowed to act on the hair for 5 to 30 minutes at room temperature or for 2 to 20 minutes at an elevated temperature. Then the hair is optionally rinsed with water and subsequently with an acidic aqueous intermediate rinse, which has a pH of 2 to 6.5 and includes an aliphatic organic acid. Next the hair is wound onto curlers, after which the hair is allowed to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature or 20 minutes at an elevated temperature. After the resting period the hair is treated with an oxidant-based fixative, which can be a solution of hydrogen peroxide, and the curlers are removed. The hair is subsequently rinsed with water or washed with a shampoo to remove the fixative and combed into a hair style. For methods of uncurling hair the method is similar, but the step of winding on curlers is replaced by a step of combing the hair out and the acidic aqueous intermediate treating agent is in the form of a gel, cream or paste.

Process and means for permanent hair-styling

The new active ingredient derivative compounds have the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are the same or different and are each an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, Y is an unsubstituted or substituted alkylene group, R is an active ingredient group which, prior to ester formation, has at least one OH group and A.sup.- is an anion. A process for making the compounds of formula (I) is described. Hair treatment compositions containing these compounds and methods of treating hair with these hair treatment compositions are also described.

Permanent process and agent

The aqueous hair fixing composition contains 0.1 to 30 percent by weight of at least one thickener, e.g. acrylic acid polymer; 0.1 to 25 percent by weight of a film-forming polymer ingredient which consists of vinyl acetate/crotonic acid copolymer, acrylic acid/acrylamide copolymer and/or methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer and 45 to 99.8 percent by weight water. This aqueous hair fixing composition necessarily contains no organic solvents, no cationic surfactants and no cationic polymers and a physiologically acceptable acid or base is added to it to adjust its pH so that the film-forming polymer ingredient is at least partially precipitated.

Aqueous hair fixing composition containing a water-soluble hair fixing

The hair fixing composition is in the form of an aqueous solution, foam or gel and contains from 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of one or more film-forming natural polymers, from 5 to 60 percent by weight of one or more water-soluble, halogen-free organic solvents, from 30 to 95% by weight water and from 0.05 to 2 percent by weight of one or more of the following compounds which are insoluble in water at room temperature but soluble in the composition: a C.sub.8 - to C.sub.20 -alkanediol, a C.sub.8 - to C.sub.20 -alkanetriol, a monoglyceride of saturated or unsaturated C.sub.12 - to C.sub.20 -fatty acids, a monodiglyceride of saturated or unsaturated C.sub.12 - to C.sub.20 -fatty acids, a C.sub.12 - to C.sub.20 -fatty alcohol ethoxylated with from 2 to 3 moles of ethylene oxide, a polysiloxane/polyether copolymer having a cloud point at a temperature of less than 20.degree. C., a polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block polymer and a polyoxyethylene/polyoxybutylene block polymer. The organic solvent and the water insoluble compound component are present in a weight ratio of from 1000:1 to 2.5:1.

Hair fixing composition in the form of an aqueous solution, foam or gel

The composition for permanent shaping of hair based on a hair keratin-reducing agent contains N-glycyl-L-cysteine and/or L-cysteinyl-glycine as the hair keratin-reducing agent. The N-glycyl-L-cysteine and/or L-cysteinyl-glycine is advantageously the only hair keratin-reducing substance present. The compositions have a preferred pH range of 6.5 to 9.0 and contain from 8 to 30 percent by weight of the N-glycyl-L-cysteine and/or L-cysteinyl-glycine. Use of this composition for permanent shaping of hair avoids a troublesome white deposit or coating on the hair which occurs when cysteine-containing hair shaping compositions are used.

The process for permanent shaping of hair including the steps of treating the hair with a hair shaping agent, bringing the hair into a desired shape before and/or after treating the hair with the shaping agent, rinsing with water as needed, subjecting the hair to an oxidative aftertreatment, setting the hair to form a permanent wave and drying. To provide a permanent shaping which does not leave the hair with an unpleasant odor and is safe for the hair, the hair shaping agent consists essentially of an aqueous composition containing from 0.1 to 30% by weight of at least one Bunte-salt and from 0.5 to 30% by weight of at least one sulfite or hydrogen sulfite. The sulfites and hydrogen sulfites are selected from the group consisting of alkali metal and ammonium sulfites and hydrogen sulfites and alkanolamine salts of sulfurous acid. The Bunte-salts include various thiosulfate-containing compounds.
