Abstract: The disclosure relates to thermal control of compositions for altering the color of hair, in particular to hair bleaching compositions comprising thermal control agents, hair color-altering compositions comprising the hair bleaching compositions and/or thermal control agents, methods for preparing and using the hair color-altering compositions, and kits comprising the hair bleaching compositions and/or thermal control agents.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a developer composition comprising one or more direct dyes having at least one halogenated aromatic group, one or more oxidizing agents, and water; wherein the pH of the developer composition is from about 1 to about 4. The developer compositions are combined with hair coloring base compositions to form ready-to-use hair coloring compositions. Methods for making ready to use hair coloring compositions and methods for coloring hair are also disclosed.

Abstract: Hair treatment and hair lightening compositions, methods of making and use, and to kits comprising the compositions. The components of the hair treatment compositions may be included in hair lightening compositions and used to lighten and/or color hair. The hair treatment compositions include: (a) one or more polycarboxylic acids, and/or a salt thereof; (b) one or more amino acids, and/or a salt thereof; and (c) one or more antioxidant comprising an aromatic ring having two alcohol functional groups. The hair lightening compositions further include (d) one or more bleaching agents.

Abstract: A telescoping handle includes an outer tubular rod, an inner rod and a lock. The lock is made of a collar; two arc-rings, two retaining covers, and two buttons. The collar slides over the outer tubular rod and the inner rod slides into the other end. A recess in the collar holds two arc-rings that define an inwardly projecting pin sized to pass through the collar and into a hole on the inner rod. Two buttons passing through covers to the recesses enables contact with the two arc-rings causing each projecting pin to withdraw from the inner rod when pushed. When released, each button disengages from the two-arc rings causing the projecting pin to slide into a hole in the inner rod to prevent movement of the inner rod. A spring may be used to bias the two arc-rings into engagement with the inner rod.
