Abstract: A method of setting up, caring for and later removing a temporary rasta hairstyle is described. This method includes one or more of the following steps: applying a roughness-increasing substance to the hair to roughen the hair, applying an adherence-increasing substance to the hair to increase adherence of hairs to each other, and subsequently setting up the temporary rasta hairstyle by intertwining hair strandwise. The cleaning of the temporary rasta hairstyle occurs preferably using a concave sponge, without disturbing the temporary rasta hairstyle. To again remove the temporary rasta hairstyle a composition that increases the combability is applied to the hair and the rasta strands are opened and unwound or untwisted. Multi-component kits and compositions for performing the method are also described.

Abstract: The preferably optically clear, transparent or translucent micromulsion contains from 20 to 60 percent by weight water; from 3 to 20 percent by weight of an oil phase, which contains hydrophobic oil that is liquid at 25° C. and optionally dissolved lipophilic materials, and from 20 to 60 percent by weight of an emulsifier mixture. The emulsifier mixture contains at least one first emulsifier, which is an ethoxylated castor oil and/or an ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil, and at least one second emulsifier with an NRU50 value greater than 110 ?g/ml. The microemulsion is usable as a cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical preparation, especially as an agent for hair treatment.

Abstract: Compositions for treating hair prepared using fluorinated acids to neutralize polymers with basic groups are described, which contain a complex formed from at least one fluorinated acid and at least one polymer with basic groups or a complex of a salt of a fluorinated acid and a polymer with protonated or quaternized amine groups, and which also contain at least one film-forming, hair-fixing polymer. These compositions deposit a reduced amount of residue on the hair without reducing the hair-fixing performance.

Abstract: The hair treatment composition for increasing the formability and luster of hair contains from 0.01 to 10 percent by weight of a copolymer formed from at least one ethylenic unsaturated monomer of the formula (I): CH2═CR1R2  (I), wherein R1 is A—(CH2CH2O)x—R3 or COOH group and A is C(═O)O, C(═O)NH or CH2O, x is a number from 1 to 100, R3 is a C8- to C30-alkyl group, R2 is H, a C1- to C30-alkyl group or a CH2—R1 group, with the proviso that at least one of the groups, R1 and R2, contain the A—(CH2CH2O)x—R3 group; and from at least one ethylenic unsaturated monomer of the formula (II): CH2═CR4COOR5  (II), wherein R4 and R5 are, independently of each other, H or an alkyl group with 1 to 30 carbon atoms; from 0.01 to 50 percent by weight of a polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight over 500 g/mol and from 0.01 to 20 percent by weight of a nonionic surfactant having an HLB-value under 20.

Abstract: The hair treatment composition for promoting luster and stylability of hair consists of an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution containing preferably from 0.1 to 30 percent by weight of at least one fatty acid glyceride polyalkylene glycol ether having from 70 to 1000 alkylene glycol units or at least one fatty acid partial glyceride polyalkylene glycol ether having from 70 to 1000 alkylene glycol units and a propellant which is dimethyl ether and/or a volatile hydrocarbons or a mixture of volatile hydrocarbons so that the hair treatment composition consists of a single-phase aerosol preparation. The composition is composed so that an aerosol foam is formed on the hair when the hair treatment composition is applied to the hair.
