Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method which achieves a simultaneous coulouring and straightening of the hair in a single step, utilizing a hair treatment composition comprising at least one carboxylic acid of formula (I) defined below and at least one direct dye: R—CO—COOH  Formula (I) In another aspect, the invention is directed to the hair treatment composition and the use thereof for straightening and colouring the hair.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for simultaneously straightening and coloring hair, comprising the following steps: (a) application of a single hair treatment composition for straightening and coloring hair comprising a direct dye selected from the group consisting of an anionic direct dye, a cationic direct dye, and a nitro direct dye wherein the total amount of the direct dye is 0.01 to 7.5% by weight and glyoxylic acid at a total concentration in the range of 2.5 to 20% by weight based on the weight of the total single hair treatment composition onto the hair: (b) leaving the single hair treatment composition on the hair for 10 to 60 minutes; (b′) optionally rinsing off the hair; (c) drying the hair; and (d) treating the hair with an iron having a surface temperature of 180 ±50° C.; (e) optionally rinsing off and/or shampooing the hair and drying, wherein the hair treatment composition has a pH of 1 to 3, wherein the single hair treatment composition is free of any sulfur-based reducing agents. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the single hair treatment composition further comprises a conditioning component selected from the group consisting of a silicone oil and a cationic polymer. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature of the iron is in the range of 170 to 200° C.
