Abstract
The present invention is in the field of hair treatment compositions; in particular relates to a method for hair volume reduction. Despite the prior art, there still exists the opportunity to increase the conditioning benefits delivered through hair treatment compositions. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method that retains shape and reduces frizz even after exposure to humidity and washing the hair. It has been found that reduced hair frizz and hair shape retention even after exposure to moisture can be obtained by using N-formyl amino acids.
Claims17
A method for reducing hair volume, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) treating the hair with an aqueous treatment composition comprising an aqueous continuous phase, wherein the aqueous continuous phase comprises at least 1% by weight of N-formyl amino acid based on total weight of the aqueous treatment composition, and b) allowing the aqueous treatment composition to contact the hair for 1 to 60 minutes before the hair is dried further wherein the hair is hair on the head, the composition having N-formyl amino acid in free acid form, salt form or a mixture thereof.
