The method can have a detecting of at least one sensor value on hair of a user by employing at least one portable sensor, a determining of a hair condition of the user by employing the detected at least one sensor value, a computer-assisted determining of a user-specific hair treatment agent including the determined hair condition, and a preparing of the determined user-specific hair treatment agent by employing a hair treatment agent mixing device.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions that replace gaskets and liners in sealing applications for packages that are detachable with hand force are described. The adhesive compositions are particularly useful in preventing leaks and spillage during storage and transport of its packaged contents. Advantageously, the adhesive composition provides packages with (1) a removal torque of from about 4 to about 20 in-lb and (2) resealable torque on subsequent openings of from about 2 to about 15 in-lb, measured in accordance to ASTM D2063.

Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of a hair treatment composition, which comprises the following process steps: a) Providing a water phase (Ia) comprising water and optionally other components and heating the water phase to a temperature of from about 70 to about 95° C., b) Providing an oil phase (Ib) comprising at least one oil and at least one emulsifier, and adding the oil phase to the heated water phase from step a), c) Homogenize the mixture from step b), d) Cooling the emulsion resulting from step c) to a temperature of from about 35 to about 45° C. and optionally adding further active ingredients, e) Filling of the emulsion resulting from step d) into preferably transparent containers, whereby in the resting state after from about 10 to about 90 minutes a separation into a water phase (II) and an emulsion phase (IIb) occurs.

Abstract: The invention is related to fast setting, bio-based hot melt adhesive compositions and use thereof. The bio-based hot melt adhesive compositions are based on renewable-based feedstock, making them environmentally friendly, and particularly suitable for sealing cardboard case, carton, and cardboards.

Abstract: A method performed by one or more devices includes determining an information item indicative of at least one parameter affecting the treatment of a textile with the information item being detected by an information carrier of the textile (220) and/or a cleaning device (230), or a cleaning agent (210) and the textile (220), or the cleaning agent (210) and the cleaning device, or the cleaning agent (210) and the textile (220) and the cleaning device and the information carrier comprises a package, a label, an NFC chip or a combination thereof, determining at least one treatment parameter of the textile based at least in part on the determined information item, and outputting or triggering the outputting of the at least one determined treatment parameter.

Abstract: A process and a kit-of-parts for dyeing keratinous material, such as human hair, are provided. An exemplary process for dyeing keratinous material includes applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material. Agent (a) includes (a1) at least one organic silicon compound selected from the group consisting of silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, and (a2) at least one first colorant compound comprising at least one pigment based on a lamellar substrate platelet. The method further includes applying an agent (b) to the keratinous material. Agent (b) includes (b1) at least one film-forming polymer, and (b2) at least one second colorant compound selected from the group consisting of pigments and/or direct dyes.
