Abstract
Provided is a process for permanently reshaping keratin fibers comprising: a) placing the keratin fibers under mechanical tension by rolling keratin fibers on a tensioning device so as to form curls, b) applying a reducing composition to the keratin fibers, c) individually covering each tensioning device rolled with keratin fibers with a cover comprising at least one heat-insulating material so as to form at least one closed space above the keratin fibers, and e) heating the keratin fibers at a constant temperature ranging from 45 to 250° C., for a period of time ranging from 1 minute to 2 hours, wherein at least one of the tensioning device and the cover comprising at least one heat-insulating material further includes at least one heat source. Also provided is a kit for permanently reshaping keratin fibers.
