Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multi-phase liquid agent for the non-chemical smoothing and de-curling of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, which has an aqueous-alcoholic phase and a non-aqueous phase existing separately therefrom and which can be applied as a spray, and a method for non-chemical smoothing or de-curling of keratin fibers using the agent.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure is a method for blonding and/or lightening keratinous fibers, which permits a multi-tone coloration with lighter (“highlights”) sections (strands) to be produced, wherein the use of solid, flat separating aids, more particularly from solid materials, such as aluminum, paper or Styrofoam and similar materials, is not required. In addition, an entire keratinous fiber ensemble can be blonded and/or lightened, wherein the release of ammonia and the drying of the blonding or lightening agent are reduced.

Abstract: The subject matter of the present disclosure is a method for treatment keratinous fibers which make it possible to color the hair in a single treatment session and simultaneously achieve a multi-tonal coloring with sections (strands) having different colors, more particularly lighter (“highlights”) sections (strands), wherein the use of solid, flat separating aids, more particularly foils from solid materials such as aluminum, paper or Styrofoam and similar materials is not required.

Abstract: The aim of the present disclosure was to provide an improved oxidizing agent preparation for oxidative color modifying agents, which are present as soap based gels and contain ammonia as the alkalizing agent and optionally at least one oxidation dye precursor, and have a pH in the range of from 8 to 11.5, measured at 20° C., with which homogeneous and viscosity-stable application mixtures can be produced that release less ammonia during the entire leave-in time. It was surprisingly found that aqueous hydrogen peroxide preparations which contain selected 1-alkanols, glyceryl fatty acid esters, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, polyols and oils, achieve said aim in a very satisfactory manner.

Abstract: The aim of the present disclosure was to provide an improved oxidizing agent preparation for oxidative color modifying agents, which are present as soap based gels and contain ammonia as the alkalizing agent and optionally at least one oxidation dye precursor, and have a pH in the range of from about 8 to about 11.5, measured at 20° C. with which homogeneous and viscosity-stable application mixtures can be produced that release less ammonia during the entire leave-in time. It was surprisingly found that aqueous hydrogen peroxide preparations which contain selected 1-alkanols, ethylene glycol fatty acid esters, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, polyols and oils achieve said aim in a very satisfactory manner.

Abstract: Methods and kits for protecting skin against contact with a hair treatment agent are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for protecting the skin against contact with a hair treatment agent during a hair treatment includes (a) applying a polysaccharide composition (D) onto the hair and (b) applying a gelling composition (C) onto the hair. An exemplary hair treatment kit contains at least one hair treatment agent and at least one agent for protecting the skin against contact with the hair treatment agent, said hair treatment agent being selected from agents for permanent reshaping, straightening or perming, and agents for dyeing keratinous fibers.
