Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for reshaping keratin fibers, preferably hair, comprising the steps of: (i) applying onto the keratin fibers a composition comprising (a) at least one organic acid salt of alkaline earth metal, wherein the composition has a pH of from 8.0 to 13.5, preferably from 8.0 to 12.0, and more preferably from 8.5 to 11.0; (ii) heating the keratin fibers; and (iii) optionally rinsing and/or drying the keratin fibers. The present invention can reshape or deform keratin fibers, preferably hair, and can provide the keratin fibers with long-lasting volumizing effects, and possibly sufficient reshaping efficiency such as strong wave intensity and many curls. Also, the present invention can provide good usability such as short processing time due to the absence of the steps of reducing and oxidizing keratin fibers.
