Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
In a process for simultaneously cold waving and coloring hair in which the hair is first treated with a hair waving composition containing a reducing agent wrapped in rods, and thereafter treated with a neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent, the improvement which comprises carrying out said prior to the start of the second stage, the first stage comprising treating the hair with a first stage neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent for 2 to 10 minutes to partially neutralize the reducing on the hair, and the second stage comprising treating the hair with a second stage neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent and hair dye for 3 to 7 minutes to complete the neutralization and to simultaneously dye the hair.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
In a process for simultaneously cold waving and coloring hair in which the hair is first treated with a hair waving composition containing a reducing agent wrapped in rods, and thereafter treated with a neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent, the improvement which comprises carrying out said prior to the start of the second stage, the first stage comprising treating the hair with a first stage neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent for 2 to 10 minutes to partially neutralize the reducing on the hair, and the second stage comprising treating the hair with a second stage neutralization composition containing an oxidizing agent and hair dye for 3 to 7 minutes to complete the neutralization and to simultaneously dye the hair.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said reducing agent is selected from the group consisting of sulfites, thioglycolic acids and salts thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the concentration of reducing agent in said hair waving composition is from about 2% to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of said hair waving composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said hair dye is a direct dye.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said hair dye comprises an oxidation hair dye system containing a primary oxidation hair dye intermediate and an oxidation hair dye coupler.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 or 5 wherein said oxidizing agent is an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
65 words
The process of claim 6 wherein the concentration of the oxidizing agent in the first stage neutralization composition is from about 1% to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of said composition and the concentration of the oxidizing agent in the second stage neutralization composition is from about 2% to about 4% by weight based on the total weight of said composition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process of claim 7 wherein the hair dye is present in the second stage neutralization composition in an amount of from about 0.02% to about 4% by weight based on the total weight of said composition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of contacting the hair with a metal salt solution following treatment with the hair waving composition and prior to treatment with the first stage neutralization composition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the salt solution contains a cation selected from Cu ++ , Fe ++ in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight based on the total weight of the salt solution.
