Abstract: The hairdressing cosmetic preparation of the present invention is characterized by comprising a heat-gelling polymer which becomes to gel upon heating. The gelling temperature of the heat-gelling polymer is preferably 60° C. or higher. Preferable heat-gelling polymer is polysaccharides such as &bgr;-1,3-glucan, &bgr;-1,3-xylan, curdlan and the like. The hair dressing preparation of the present invention, due to using such heat-gelling polymer, can give excellent hairdressing effect and hair-setting power when hair applied with the hairdressing preparation is treated with heating.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hair revitalizing tonic composition containing a dimethylpropanediol derivative of the formula: wherein R1 and R2 are each independently a C1-30 hydrocarbon group which may be substituted, or a five- or six-membered heterocyclic group which contains 1 to 4 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen atoms and which may be substituted, R3 is hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may be substituted, an acyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a phenoxycarbonyl group, or a carbamoyl group which may be substituted, and a and b are each 0 or 1, as well as a method for effecting hair growth promotion, hair growth stimulation, or hair loss prevention in mammals by using such a hair revitalizing tonic composition. Also disclosed is the use of a compound of formula (I) in the preparation of a hair revitalizing tonic composition. Thus, this invention can provide an excellent means of hair revitalization or hair loss prevention in mammals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hair revitalizing tonic composition containing, as an active ingredient, at least one lipid derivative of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and Y are as defined in the specification, and a and b are 0 or 1, as well as its use.

Abstract: A hair revitalizing agent including a compound represented by the formula shown below or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.10, R.sup.14 to R.sup.23, X, Y, and n are the same as defined in the present specification).

Abstract: A transfer member with a pattern of metallic luster is so constructed that a release layer is formed on the whole surface of a release sheet, a metal thin film layer is formed on the release layer, and a pattern-like adhesive layer including thermosetting resin and 5-70 parts by weight of loading pigment is formed thereon. As required, the metal thin film layer is partially formed to partially form a color adhesive layer on the release layer. The metal thin film layer is formed on the whole surface of the release layer formed on the whole surface of the release sheet, then, the pattern-like adhesive layer is formed on the metal thin film layer, thereafter a part of the metal thin film layer which is not covered with the adhesive layer is dissolved and removed therefrom by alkaline or acidic aqueous solution, and then the pattern-like color adhesive layer is formed thereon to manufacture a transfer member.

Abstract: In a transfer material for coloring a circumferential surface of an article, which includes a releasable base sheet and an adhesively transferable ink layer; the improvement comprising: said ink layer being formed by printing an ink containing a resinous binder and at least one coloring agent therein on the surface of said base sheet as continuously reducing the amount of the ink per unit area to its both ends.
