Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A process of setting the hair comprising applying to the hair a lotion wherein the active component is an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution of a film-forming resin which resin contains 0.05 to 4% by weight of a water soluble salt of chitosan as the film-forming component, the said chitosan salt being obtained by reacting chitosan or a chitin product containing about 70-90% by weight of chitosan with a sufficient amount of an acid to neutralize the free amino groups present on chitosan and to form a water-soluble salt thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A process of setting the hair comprising applying to the hair a lotion wherein the active component is an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution of a film-forming resin which resin contains 0.05 to 4% by weight of a water soluble salt of chitosan as the film-forming component, the said chitosan salt being obtained by reacting chitosan or a chitin product containing about 70-90% by weight of chitosan with a sufficient amount of an acid to neutralize the free amino groups present on chitosan and to form a water-soluble salt thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

66 words
A process of setting the hair as defined in claim 1 wherein the lotion is applied to the washed and towel-dry hair followed by an alkalizing aftertreatment with an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solution, emulsion or gel of a compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia, an organic amine, and a basic reacting salt, the hair being set and dried before or after the alkalizing treatment.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
