Abstract: A client subscription hydroponic system and method is provided that includes a growth module and a hydro-farm, where the growth module has a replaceable growth media element configured for growing a living plant in a growth module nutrient solution, where the growth module is assigned to a client according to a subscription software account hosted on a remote computer. The client is provided an option to order a growth media element and a genus of a replacement plant from a hydro-farm using a subscription software mail-order purchase process. The hydro-farm and growth media element nutrient solution physical parameters are matched prior to shipping the growth media element and the replacement plant from the hydro-farm. The ordered growth media element and the replacement plant are installed to the growth module, where the subscription account is updated according to activity of the subscription activity with the remote computer program.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a composition comprising: —at least one photo-crosslinkable polymer comprising at least one photo-dimerizable pendant group; —one or more alkaline agent(s) and/or amino alkoxysilane derivative(s), the alkaline agent(s) and/or amino alkoxysilane derivative(s) being present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.01 to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, the pH of the composition being greater than or equal to 7.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly including: —a styling tool (5), in particular a straightening iron, to be moved along a lock of hair to which water and/or a cosmetic composition has been applied, and—a collecting device (7) coupled to the styling tool so as to collect a runoff generated during the movement of the tool over the hair on account of the presence of water and/or said composition on the hair, the collecting device having a reservoir (9) for picking up the runoff.

Abstract: A device for treating hair, including two arms configured to move relative to one another between a moved-together configuration for treating the hair and a spaced-apart configuration for inserting hair to be treated between the arms. At least one of the arms includes a seal.

Abstract: A process for treating keratin fibres may include applying a hair treatment composition to the keratin fibres. The composition may comprise at least one of fatty substances, surfactants, polymers with a glass transition temperature (Tg) ranging from about 40° C. to about 150° C., oxidation dye precursors, and direct dyes. The process may also include inserting the keratin fibres into a device comprising two elements that are moveable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the two elements may define a substantially leaktight closed space. The process may further include moving the two elements into the closed position to confine the keratin fibres in the closed space, and heating the keratin fibres to a temperature ranging from about 40° C. to about 250° C. while the keratin fibres are confined in the closed space.
