Abstract: The present invention is a method of pre-treating keratinous fibers prior to the application of a hair colorant or bleaching composition comprising the steps of applying a pre-treatment composition to the keratinous fibers said composition comprising at least one conditioning agent, said composition having a viscosity of from 100 Pa cps to 300 Pa, wherein said pre-treatment composition is not rinsed off from the hair prior to the application of said hair coloring or bleaching composition.

Abstract: A fiber treatment composition is presented comprising organomodified silicones having defined physico-chemical properties and a additive which allows the organomodified silicone to be retained on the hair over longer periods of time than traditionally has been the case. The present composition finds particular application on hair that has been damaged through chemical treatments, such as occurs during permanent dyeing, bleaching and permanent waving.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an applicator (1) which allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to a hair strand. The applicator (1) comprises a plate (10) movably joined by a connection (30) to a well (20), a hair orientation means on the internal surface (101) of the plate (10) which extends towards the well (20) and a fluid metering means comprising a lower metering means (50) on the rim (222) of the well (20) and an upper metering means (60) on the internal surface of said plate (10), wherein said upper metering means (60) and lower metering means (50) independently comprise at least one resilient strip (13). When said applicator (1) is in a closed state, the lower metering means (50) and the upper metering means (60) are substantially juxtaposed to provide said fluid metering means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair treatment applicator (1), which comprises a plate (10) and a containment portion (20) movably joined by a connection (30) so that said applicator (1) may alternate between a closed state and an open state. At least one member (40), which is continuous and liquid impervious, projects from the substantially flat internal surface (101) of the plate (10). The hair treatment applicator according to the invention allows for precise, non-messy and even application of a hair treatment composition to the hair, in particular to a hair strand and preferably to a bundle of hair strands.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system to highlight the hair. The system comprises a device (10) and a composition (50). Device (10) comprises a first portion movably joined to a second portion. Composition (50) comprises a percentage of hydrogen peroxide and a percentage of an alkalizer by weight of said composition (50). The weight percentages of hydrogen peroxide and of an alkalizer are defined by equation (I): X+1.5Y?15 (I) wherein X is the percentage by weight of hydrogen peroxide by weight of the composition (50) and wherein Y is the percentage by weight of an alkalizer by weight of the composition (50). Said composition (50) comprises at least 2% of hydrogen peroxide by weight of said composition (50) and said alkalizer is an inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of hair care. More specifically, the present invention relates to the conditioning of hair after it has been oxidized in a coloring, bleaching or perming treatment. Superior conditioning is obtained by providing a cationic polymer to the hair while it is subjected to the oxidizing treatment, and then the oxidized hair is subjected to a conditioning treatment with a composition comprising a functionalized silicone.

More specifically, the present invention relates to the conditioning of hair after it has been oxidised in a coloring, bleaching or perming treatment. Superior conditioning is obtained by providing a cationic polymer to the hair while it is subjected to the oxidising treatment, and then the oxidised hair is subjected to a conditioning treatment with a composition comprising a functionalized silicone.

Abstract: A method of imparting hair strand effects may include identifying each of a plurality of hair strands to which to apply a hair strand effect product independently and individually, the plurality of hair strands associated with an illustration of at least one type of hair strand effects and one of a plurality of hair styles, and applying the product to each of the plurality of hair strands independently and individually subsequent to identifying the plurality of hair strands. In the alternative or in combination, a hair instruction guide may be consulted, the guide having at least one strand size associated with one of the plurality of types of hair strand effects, and a strand of hair may be identified according to the at least one strand size. A system for creating a hair strand effect may include a hair strand effect product and such a hair instruction guide.

Abstract: A hair colouring and conditioning composition comprising:

Abstract: A method of providing a colour change to human or animal hair wherein the method comprises the steps of (a) applying to hair a hair colour altering composition, (b) leaving the hair colour altering composition on the hair for from about 0.5 to about 15 minutes and then (c) optionally, rinsing the hair colour altering composition from the hair, wherein steps (a) and (b) and (c) are repeated from about once a month to about 3 times a day.

Abstract: In a first aspect, the present invention relates organomodified silicones having defined structures. In a further aspect, the invention relates to topical compositions comprising these organomodified silicones which deposit more evenly and durably than prior art conditioners on a viariety of fibers, especially hair, of differing levels of damage. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a hair treatment kit comprsising the topical compositions.
