20150034117 | METHODS FOR FIXING HAIR AND SKIN - Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided. | 02-05-2015 |
20150034119 | Hair Color Smoothing Compositions and Methods - Compositions, kits, and methods for rebuilding the disulfide bonds in hair that is damaged due to a hair coloring treatment are disclosed. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently crosslink at least two thiol groups in the hair. The compositions may be applied subsequent to a hair coloring treatment or simultaneously with a hair coloring treatment. Under normal hair washing conditions, the covalent crosslinks formed are not succeptable to reduction or hydrolysis. Use of the crosslinking compositions prevent the reversion of the hair's disulfide bonds to its reduced state, for at least one week, preferably at least three months, more preferably at least one year, most preferably at least greater than one year, after at least one application of the composition. | 02-05-2015 |
20150037270 | Compositions and Kits for Hair and Skin - Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently crosslink at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the crosslinking compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their reduced (thiol) state, for at least one week, one month, six months, or one year, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, and hair straightening are also provided. | 02-05-2015 |
