COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR RESTRUCTURING HAIR

摘要

Hair is (1) exposed to the action of a reducing solution containing at least one reducing agent to achieve substantially maximum cystine bond cleavage; (2) blotted remove the reactive reducing solution; (3) contacted with a protein flow solution; (4) and urged into a new configuration prior to application of an oxidizing agent to reestablish the cystine bonds. The protein flow solution is an aqueous solution having a pH of from 2 to 10 and containing at least one protein flow agent which is a polyvalent metal ion, or a water-soluble hydroxyorganic compound containing up to about 4 carbon atoms, and at least one hydroxyl group or mixtures thereof.
