Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining a user-specific hair treatment with determination and inclusion of the state of the hair. To this end, the content of at least one hair constituent is firstly determined with the aid of near-infrared and/or infrared and/or VIS and/or Raman spectra of the hair of an individual and a hair state is derived via a calibration model. Individual treatment advice is output on the basis of the determined hair state.

Abstract: It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an agent for coloring keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising (a1) at least one linear amino-functionalized silicone polymer, and (a2) at least one pigment, and (a3) at least one polysaccharide, exemplified in that the agent is free of silicone resins. A second subject matter is a method for dyeing keratin material, wherein the agent is applied to the keratin material.
Abstract: The subject of the present disclosure is a process for dyeing keratinous material, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps: applying an agent (a) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (a) comprises: (a1) at least one organic silicon compound selected from the group of silanes having one, two or three silicon atoms, and (a2) at least one coloring compound comprising at least one effect pigment comprising ?) a substrate platelet and ?) a coating, wherein the coating comprises at least one layer that has been wet-chemically prepared using a metal alkoxide and an organosilicon compound having a basic group; and applying an agent (b) to the keratinous material, wherein the agent (b) comprises: (b1) at least one sealing reagent.
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.
