Abstract: A method for colouring hair. The method comprises the formation of a first plurality of coated hair fibre portions by applying a first composition to a first plurality of hair fibre portions and subsequently styling the hair. The first plurality of coated hair fibre portions is contacted with a second plurality of coated hair fibre portions but does not comprise the application of a solid barrier means in order to separate the first plurality of coated hair fibre portions from the second plurality of coated hair fibre portions. The composition comprises from about 0.2% to about 20% of viscosity-increasing agent and the viscosity-increasing agent is selected from the group consisting of: clays; polysaccharides; silicas; block copolymers of polypropylene oxide (PPO) and polyethylene oxide (PEO); and mixtures thereof. Also provided are a hair colouring composition being in ready to use form, the use of the composition, a developing formulation, and a process for creating a hair colouring composition.

Abstract: Absorbent articles comprising a variable stretch composite obtained by a process comprising the steps of providing a first extensible fibrous substrate, printing a first elastomeric composition to a first elasticized region of the substrate, printing a second elastomeric composition to a second elasticized region of the substrate, and incrementally stretching at least a portion of the composite perform to form a variable stretch composite.

Abstract: Personal care composition and methods are included with respect to a dried zinc pyrithione-polymer aggregate.

Abstract: A process that results in a flexible dissolvable porous solid article that can be used as a personal care composition or a fabric care composition.

Abstract: A stretch composite having one or more elastomeric members disposed on at least one region of an extensible fibrous substrate to provide stretch properties to a targeted region of the substrate. The composite has been incrementally stretched to at least partially break up the structure of the substrate in order to reduce its resistance to stretch. The stretch composites are useful for disposable and durable articles, such as disposable absorbent articles including diapers, pull-on diapers, training pants, incontinence briefs, catamenial garments, baby bibs, and the like, and durable articles like garments including sportswear, outerwear and the like. Also disclosed are methods of forming such stretch composites.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a stretch composite, said method comprising: a) providing a first substrate in a machine direction, wherein said substrate has opposing first and second surfaces; b) providing a gravure printing roll having an exterior surface that comprises one or more cells wherein at least a portion of the surface is relatively cool; c) depositing a molten, non-adhesive, elastomeric composition onto the exterior surface of the gravure printing device which comprises a gravure printing roll, wherein said composition is characterized as having a peel force of less than about 3 N/cm; d) causing said composition to be pushed into said cells; and e) contacting said first surface of said substrate with said gravure printing roll and substantially completely transferring said elastomeric composition from said cells of said exterior surface on said gravure printing roll to said first surface; wherein said process is substantially free of tackifier.
