This invention describes a hair relaxer system and method that ameliorates and inhibits the adsorption and retention by alkaline, chemically-relaxed hair of exogenous multivalent metal ion present in the chemical relaxer, in the rinse water or both employed during the process of relaxing naturally curly hair with compositions containing strong chemical base. In a preferred relaxer method aspect, the alkaline, chemically relaxed hair was contacted with an aqueous metal ion chelating composition containing at least one multivalent metal ion chelating agent employing a disclosed delivery system adapted for practical salon use. In another preferred relaxer method embodiment, wipes impregnated with multivalent metal ion chelating composition were employed during the relaxer process.

A conditioning hair lightener system, compositions, method, and kit therefor, is disclosed which ameliorates the deleterious effects of chemical oxidative hair lightening on the strength and subjective properties of hair. The conditioning hair lightener system comprises a conditioning hair lightener emulsion having a pH of at least about 8 prepared from at least two separate components, (A) and (B). Component (A) preferably is a substantially anhydrous, substantially free-flowing composition comprising an effective hair conditioning amount of a water-dispersible, self-emulsifying, fatty acid-derived conditioner, an effective hair lightening amount of a peroxy salt compound, optionally an effective hair protective amount of hair protectant, deswelling agent, and optionally, a water-soluble cosmetic adjuvant. Component (B) preferably is an aqueous medium containing hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide source. Components (A) and (B) are maintained separate until substantially immediately before use, and are mixed together to provide a conditioning hair lightener emulsion.

A hair softening method and compositions for hair treatment which require the use of an essential softening agent as obtained substantially as recommended in U. S. Pat. No. 3,915,904 by the polymerization of an epihalohydrin and an alkylene polyamine of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is lower alkylene of about 2 to 6 carbon atoms and R. sup. 1 and R. sup. 2 are each lower alkyl of about 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the resulting polymer being crosslinked by at least a minor proportion of the epihalohydrin used in the polymer.

A hair brightening process and aqueous hair brightening compositions therefor are disclosed effective for removing discolorations from hair which is undesirably discolored due to chemical processes and environmental exposure or natural aging to provide a substantially more natural tone. The hair brightening compositions of the invention comprise certain hair brightening activating salts and organic colorants as active brightening ingredients which surprisingly remove discoloration without imparting an unnatural tone to the hair. The inventive hair brightening compositions provide a significant improvement over conventional prior-art hydrogen peroxide-based hair brightening compositions in effectiveness, are less damaging to the hair, and more varied in their useful product forms. The invention is also directed to compositions and methods for alkali relaxing and brightening hair, especially naturally gray hair, and single-use kits comprising the inventive hair brightener compositions.

This invention relates to a process for relaxing hair fibers that comprises applying to the hair fibers a lanthionizing composition that comprises a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate and/or a sugar. The present invention also provides a lanthionizing composition that comprises hydrogenated starch hydrolysate and/or a sugar which decreases the amount of damage that occurs to hair fibers during the lanthionization process.

A process for relaxing hair in which the hair fibers undergo minimal swelling is provided, using a composition that decreases the swelling of hair fibers. Use of the composition or process decreases hair fiber swelling during the relaxing process, thereby decreasing structural damage to the hair while increasing hair fiber strength.
