Permanent waving of human hair by means of crosslinking urethane and/or hydroxamate derived from reactive acrylic resins and adipodinitrile carbonate

摘要

Compounds suitable for use in waving human hair comprised of a film-forming resin containing pendant hydroxyl, amine, and/or thiol groups; a cyclic nitrile carbonate of the formula <IMAGE> WHEREIN R is an organic radical having 1 to about 200,000 carbon atoms, X is <IMAGE> and n is at least 2; and a flexibilizing adhesion promoter; and optionally a catalyst. The composition is preferably dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent. Hair is waved by contacting the hair with the composition and drying it at room or elevated temperatures.
