First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hair treatment composition comprising: at least one monoamine chosen from: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, or combinations thereof, or combinations comprising at least two of: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, 3-butoxypropylamine, and monoethanolamine; and at least one carboxylic acid chosen from maleic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, citraconic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, sebacic acid, benzoic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof; wherein the hair treatment composition has a pH ranging from about 2 to about 4. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid is chosen from citric acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, sebacic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid is chosen from maleic acid, citraconic acid, fumaric acid, benzoic acid, or combinations thereof. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid is chosen from maleic acid, citric acid, or combinations thereof. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least one carboxylic acid is present in an amount up to about 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid is present in an amount up to about 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one monoethanolamine is present in an amount up to about 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. 8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one monoethanolamine is present in an amount up to about 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. 9. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one additive chosen from surfactants, solvents, conditioning agents, or combinations thereof. 10. The composition of claim 9 , wherein the solvents are chosen from water, cosmetically acceptable organic solvents, or combinations thereof. 11. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one bleaching agent, at least one colorant compound, or combinations thereof. 12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein: the at least one bleaching agent is chosen from peroxides, persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, peracids, bromates, their salts, or mixtures thereof; and the at least one colorant compound is chosen from oxidation dyes, direct dyes, pigments, or mixtures thereof. 13. A hair treatment system comprising: (a) a hair treatment composition comprising: at least one monoamine chosen from: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, or combinations thereof, or combinations comprising at least two of: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, 3-butoxypropylamine, and monoethanolamine; at least one carboxylic acid chosen from maleic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, citraconic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, sebacic acid, benzoic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof; and at least one solvent; wherein the hair treatment composition has a pH ranging from about 2 to about 4; and (b) a hair conditioning composition comprising: at least one monoamine chosen from: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, or combinations thereof, or combinations comprising at least two of: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, 3-butoxypropylamine, and monoethanolamine; at least one carboxylic acid chosen from maleic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, citraconic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, sebacic acid, benzoic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof; and at least one additive. 14. The hair treatment system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid present in the hair treatment composition and/or the hair conditioning composition are independently chosen from maleic acid, citric acid, or combinations thereof. 15. The hair treatment system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid present in the hair treatment composition and/or the hair conditioning composition are independently chosen from citric acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, sebacic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof. 16. The hair treatment system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one carboxylic acid present in the hair treatment composition and/or the hair conditioning composition are independently chosen from maleic acid, citraconic acid, fumaric acid, benzoic acid, or combinations thereof. 17. The hair treatment system of claim 13 , further comprising at least one composition or agent for coloring or shaping the hair. 18. The hair treatment system of claim 17 , wherein the composition for coloring or shaping the hair comprises the hair treatment composition. 19. The hair treatment system of claim 17 , wherein the agent for coloring the hair is chosen from bleaching agents, colorant compounds, or combinations thereof, and/or the agent for shaping the hair is chosen from agents for straightening, relaxing, or permanent waving the hair. 20. The hair treatment system of claim 19 , wherein: the bleaching agents are chosen from peroxides, persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, peracids, bromates, their salts, or mixtures thereof; and the colorant compounds are chosen from oxidation dyes, direct dyes, pigments, or mixtures thereof. 21. A method for treating hair, the method comprising: applying to the hair a hair treatment composition comprising: at least one monoamine chosen from: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, or combinations thereof, or combinations comprising at least two of: 3-isopropoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, 3-ethoxypropylamine, 3-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-propylamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, 3-butoxypropylamine, and monoethanolamine; at least one carboxylic acid chosen from maleic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, citraconic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, sebacic acid, benzoic acid, glyoxylic acid monohydrate, or combinations thereof; and at least one solvent; wherein the hair treatment composition has a pH ranging from about 2 to about 4. 22.
