Composition, method and kit for enhancing hair

摘要

Compositions for application and methods of application of a composition to modify hair. In one embodiment, a composition includes a compound (molecule) represented by:;wherein A and B are individually selected from a hydrogen, a hydroxyl group and a halogen, with the proviso that when one of A and B is a hydroxyl group, the other of A and B is a hydrogen and when one of A and B is a halogen, the other of A and B is a halogen or a hydrogen;wherein Z is, for example, an aryl moiety; andwherein X1 and X2 are, for example, individually selected from a hydrogen and an alkyl moiety,wherein R1 and R2 are individually selected from an oxo, a hydroxyl or an ester group;wherein y is 0 or 1, x is 0 or 1 and x and y are not both 1, or a salt.

1. A method comprising:
directly applying to hair an effective hair curling amount of a composition to increase a curl of the hair, the composition comprising a compound of the formula: wherein the dashed bonds represent a single or double bond; wherein A and B are each a fluorine atom; wherein Z is a cycloalkyl moiety having from three to seven carbon atoms, an aryl moiety including from four to ten carbon atoms or a heteroaryl moiety including three to nine carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur; and wherein X1 and X2 are individually selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl moiety having from one to six carbon atoms,  and R5 is an alkyl moiety having from one to six carbon atoms; wherein R1 and R2 are individually selected from an oxo group, a hydroxyl group or an ester group, and R6 is a saturated or unsaturated acyclic hydrocarbon group having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, and —(CH2)mR7 wherein m is 0 or an integer of from 1 to 10, and R7 is cycloalkyl group, having from three to seven carbon atoms, or an aryl or heteroaryl group, as defined above; wherein y is 0 or 1, x is 0 or 1 and x and y are not both 1, or a salt thereof; and leaving the composition on the hair.
