  • Patent number: 10219994
    Abstract: A method for the permanent shaping and color modification of keratinic in a single process includes the following steps. First, an aqueous composition, including at least one keratin-reducing compound and at least one alkalizing agent, is applied to the keratinic fibers and is left on the keratinic fibers for a period of 5 to 50 minutes at a temperature of 20 to 45° C. The keratinic fibers are rinsed, and optionally dried. Next, a composition including at least one oxidation dye precursor and at least one oxidizing agent is applied to the keratinic fibers and the keratinic fibers are deformed. That composition is allowed to act for 10 to 35 minutes. An aqueous composition including at least one oxidizing agent, is applied to the keratinic fibers for 30 seconds to 15 minutes. The keratinic fibers are rinsed out, along with removal of the deformation aids.

  • Publication number: 20070020214
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the permanent deformation of keratin fibers. According to said method, the fibers are treated with an aqueous preparation of a keratin-reducing substance prior to and/or after a mechanical deformation, then after a certain exposure time, the fibers are rinsed again with a first rinsing agent, fixed with an aqueous preparation of an oxidant, rinsed again after an exposure time and optionally treated again. Said method is particularly effective and kind to the fibers. The mixing and separation behavior is improved if at least one of the two aqueous preparations or the first rinsing agent is in the form of a multiple phase system containing at least one oil component and at least one N-acyl glutamic acid or the salts thereof. The multiple phase system is converted into a homogeneous system for a given time period by a mechanical movement for application to the fibers and separates again during the re-formation of the multiple phase system.
