An aqueous depilatory composition comprising a thioglycolate salt and a fluoride ion source.

Effective depilatory article

The present invention describes a hair treatment application system, comprising at least one or more hair treatment compositions () having a viscosity of from 3,000 cPs to 150,000 cPs and a hair treatment application device () comprising a first plate () and a second plate () positionable in a juxtaposed relationship when said hair treatment application device () is in a closed state. The hair treatment application device () is characterized by having a first zone comprising at least one absorbent substrate () on the internal surface () of said at least said first plates () and a second zone () on said internal surface () which is free of said absorbent substrate (). Said at least one absorbent substrate () has a median pore radius of from 300 microns to 3,000 micron. The present invention describes also methods of treating the hair with said hair treatment application system () and kit comprising said hair treatment application system.

Hair treatment application system comprising an absorbent substrate

The present invention relates to an applicator () for applying a hair treatment composition. The applicator () comprises a plate () and a containment portion () movably joined by a connection () so that said applicator () may alternate between a closed state and an open state. A first fin (), preferably a first () and a second () fin, projects from the substantially flat internal surface () of the plate () and bend the hair strand into the containment portion () while the applicator () is in use. The hair treatment applicator according to the invention allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to the hair, in particular to a hair strand and preferably to a bundle of hair strands.

Applicator for applying a hair treatment composition to a bundle of hair strands

The device () for creating hair bundle effects to a hair bundle () described herein comprises a first portion () movably joined to a second portion () by means of a connection (). The second portion () is associated with a system () for bending a hair bundle () within a cavity () provided in the first portion (). The system () for bending the hair bundle () consists of at least a first fin () and of a second fin (). The free distal edge () of the first fin () points toward the free distal edge () of the second fin (). The device () preferably comprises a first metering layer () and more preferably also a second metering layer () to achieve evenness during the application of a hair treatment composition () to hair.

Device for the application of a hair treatment composition to a hair bundle

A method of removing hair from skin, preferably facial skin, is provided, comprising the steps of:

Hair removal method and hair removal kit

The present invention relates to an applicator which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator comprises a plate movably joined by a connection to a well, a hair orientation element on the internal surface of the plate which extends towards the well and a liquid impervious, resilient fluid metering element comprising a lower metering element on the rim of the well and an upper metering element on the internal surface of the plate, wherein each independently comprise an inner and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface of the upper metering element and lower metering element independently have a convex shape. When the applicator is in a closed state, the lower metering element and the upper metering element are substantially juxtaposed to provide the fluid metering element.

Applicator for a hair treatment composition for improved hair strand effects

The present invention relates to an applicator () which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator () comprises a plate () movably joined by a connection () to a well (), a hair orientation means on the internal surface () of the plate () which extends towards the well () and a fluid metering means comprising a lower metering means () on the rim () of the well () and an upper metering means () on the internal surface of said plate (), wherein said upper metering means () and lower metering means () independently comprise at least one resilient strip (). When said applicator () is in a closed state, the lower metering means () and the upper metering means () are substantially juxtaposed to provide said fluid metering means.

Hair treatment applicator for improved hair strand effects

The present invention relates to an applicator () which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator () comprises a plate () movably joined by a connection () to a well (), a first fin () and a second fin () which project from the internal surface () of the plate () and point to one another and a fluid metering element comprising a lower metering portion () positioned on the internal surface of the wall () of the well () adjacent the rim (). When said applicator () is in a closed state, the lower metering portion () and the first fin () are substantially juxtaposed to provide said fluid metering element.

Applicator for improved application of a hair treatment composition to a bundle of hair strands

The present invention relates to a hair treatment applicator (), which comprises a plate () and a containment portion () movably joined by a connection () so that said applicator () may alternate between a closed state and an open state. At least one member (), which is continuous and liquid impervious, projects from the substantially flat internal surface () of the plate (). The hair treatment applicator according to the invention allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to the hair, in particular to a hair strand and preferably to a bundle of hair strands.

Hair treatment applicator for providing hair strand effects

The present invention relates to an applicator () which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator () comprises a plate () movably joined by a connection () to a well () and at least one metering layer selected from non-wovens, foams or combinations thereof. The metering layer has a caliper of from 0.15 mm to 39.5 mm and a compressibility as defined herein of from 59% to 93%. The metering layer may be a first metering layer () and be laid upon the rim () of the well () or may be a second metering layer () and be laid upon the internal surface () of the plate (), preferably along the perimeter ().
