Abstract

Abstract A process for form setting into a desired physical configuration as keratinous substrate such as hair, wool and the like which as been modified by a chemical treatment involving the use of olefinically unsaturated compounds comprising wetting the substrate, placing it into the desired physical configuration, and then drying it while in said configuration. This form-setting procedure may be repeated many times on the treated substrate.
