Abstract: A hair cutting machine (10) having a handle (12) that contains an electromotive drive unit (49) and having a cutter head (16) that is disposed at the front handle end and, in the operating position of the handle (12), has a stationary blade (18) and an oscillating blade (20) disposed above it, the stationary and oscillating blades (18, 20) forming a cutting plane (22) that lies between the two blades (18, 20) and is inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis (24) of the handle (12). In the operating position of the handle (12), the cutting plane (22) is inclined downward in relation to the longitudinal axis (24) of the handle (12) and the oscillating blade (20) is disposed above the stationary blade (18), which makes it possible to produce a haircut that is comparable to a classic scissors cut (FIG. 9).

Abstract: A preferably clear or transparent agent in gel form for carrying out oxidative treatments in various application fields, for example cosmetics, dental technology, pharmacy and cleaning agents.

Abstract: The wax product for treating or setting up a hairstyle or hairdo includes a composition containing at least one wax or wax-like substance, at least one non-volatile liquid hydrophobic oil and at least one volatile or easily volatilized hydrophobic substance that is a liquid or gas at room temperature. Because of the presence of the volatile substance in the composition a soft wax easily worked in the hair is obtained when the composition is applied to the hair. This soft wax hardens on the hair when the volatile ingredients evaporate. When the composition includes a propellant gas a wax with a larger surface area (wax snow) is produced, which is likewise easily worked into the hair and very effectively fixes or sets the hair.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to dye-containing pellets obtained by (a) homogeneous mixing of a starting material containing at least one natural and/or synthetic dye with a suitable carrier material and then coating with a suitable encapsulation material or (b) coating a suitable carrier material with a mixture of at least one natural and/or synthetic dye and at least one suitable encapsulation material, to the use of said pellets for preparing colorants for keratin fibers and to the colorants based on said pellets.

Abstract: A cosmetic preparation in gel form is described which contains undissolved, water-swollen polymer particles and at the interface with gaseous substances forms reversibly a grainy, uneven, light-scattering surface and at the interface with solids forms reversibly a smooth, level, non-light-scattering surface. Preferred gel formers are superabsorbing polymers. A preferred use is the hair-end protection in permanent wave treatment.
