  • Compositions suitable for the treatment of hair comprising chelants and methods for reducing oxidative hair damage
    Patent number: 7186275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising an oxidizing agent and chelants having log ? ? K CuL log ? ? K CaL ratio calculated at pH 10 of at least 3.20 wherein log KCuL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Cu2+ and log KCaL is the common logarithm of the Conditional Stability Constant of said chelant with Ca2+. Suitable chelants are diamine-N,N?-dipolyacids or monoamine monoamide-N,N?-dipolyacids. The compositions according to the present invention contribute to reducing the oxidative damage sustained by a keratinous fiber such as hair during bleaching, dyeing, perming or other oxidative treatments. Especially preferred diamine dipolyacid is ethylenediamine-N,N?-disuccinic acid (EDDS).

  • Method for the ultrasonic treatment of hair and other keratinous fibers
    Patent number: 6732744
    Abstract: The invention is the use of a chelating agent with an ultrasonic device for the treatment of hair and other fibers. The treatment device includes an ultrasound generator, a comb device responsive to the generated ultrasonic waves, a reflector for reflecting the incident ultrasonic waves disposed on the distal end of the comb device, and a chelating agent preferably disposed within the treatment device. The treatment device efficaciously dispenses the chelating agent and ultrasonically treats the fiber.
