Abstract

A method for smoothing and straightening human hair includes cleansing the hair, drying the hair a first time, applying a smoothing fluid to the hair, drying the hair a second time, applying a smoothing cream to the hair, ironing the hair, rinsing the hair, hydrating the hair, and maintaining the hair. The method also includes applying the smoothing fluid to the hair with a foaming applicator that is capable of converting the smoothing fluid to a smoothing foam.

Abstract

A non-aqueous composition and method for reducing the drying time of wet hair includes applying added water to human hair to obtain wet hair and applying a nonaqueous serum comprising a combination of about 55 to about 65 percent by weight of at least one volatile silicone compound, about 30 to about 40 percent by weight of at least one high molecular weight silicone elastomer, a thermoprotective agent, an emollient, and a conditioning agent; applying the nonaqueous serum and heat to the wet hair in order to remove from about 80% to about 100% of the added water. In one embodiment, the application of the serum is capable of reducing a drying time of the wet hair by at least 25 percent.

Abstract

A composition and method for reducing the drying time of wet hair by about 20 to about 30 percent includes applying a silicone-free, non-aqueous composition comprising about 90 to about 96 percent by weight of a volatile hydrocarbon mixture comprising C13 - C16 isoparaffin, C12 - C14 isoparaffin; and C13 - C15 alkane; about 2 to about 3 percent by weight of ppg-3 benzyl ether myristate; about 0.001 to about 0.01 percent by weight of a sodium laneth 40-maleate/styrene sulfonate copolymer; and about 0.01 to about 0.5 percent by weight of an emollient mixture comprising isostearic acid, sorbitan oleate, cocoyl hydrolyzed keratin and heat to wet hair, thereby removing from about 85% to about 100% of water added to the hair during washing.
