Abstract
Cosmetic agents for simultaneously lightening and temporarily shaping keratin fibers include a specific thickener and also at least one oxidant and have a viscosity of from 31,000 to 90,000 mPas. Despite the high viscosity, the agents can be easily removed from the packaging and moreover can be homogeneously applied to the keratin fibers without said agents dripping after application. The agents result in a homogeneous lightening and a good hairstyle hold. A method for lightening and temporarily shaping keratin fibers uses such cosmetic agents.
Claims9
A cosmetic agent for lightening and temporarily shaping keratin fibers, containing, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier,
- a) at least one thickener, selected from xanthan gum and/or crosslinked anionic copolymers, including at least one structural unit of formula (I) and at least one structural unit of formula (II)
- in which
- R1 and R4 each independently of one another represent hydrogen or a C1-4 alkyl group,
- R2 and R3 each independently of one another represent a C1-4 alkyl group,
- A represents O, NH, or S,
- b represents integers from 1 to 5,
- X+ represents a physiologically acceptable cation, and
- b) at least one oxidant,
- wherein the cosmetic agent has a viscosity of from 31,000 to 90,000 mPas (Brookfield RV, spindle T96, 4 rpm).
