Abstract: A two step method to increase the thickness of human hair in which in Step I, a high pH priming lotion is applied to pre-treat the hair to increase its pH, create an anionic charge and therefore loosen and lift the cuticle layers of the hair. In Step II, an acidic thickening composition is applied on top of the Step I composition to deliver polymers and conditioning ingredients to the hair's polypeptide molecule sites.
