A method for enhancing the appearance of the density of a user's scalp hair and modifying the color balance of the user's hair to make it appear more black in color, comprising applying a freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture to the user's scalp hair, wherein the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture includes:
- elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers in an amount of about 25 weight percent including a pigment material deposited thereon and/or therein, wherein the elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers have an average length between about 10 and 30 microns;
- silica in an amount of about 10 weight percent;
- mica in an amount between about 20.00 and 25.00 weight percent;
- black iron oxide in an amount between about 25.00 and 30.00 weight percent;
- titanium dioxide in an amount between about 5.00 and 10.00 weight percent;
- oat kernel protein particles in an amount between about 5.00 and 10.00 weight percent, said oat kernel protein particles having an average particle size between 50 and 100 microns;
- wherein said mixture is in the form of a dry, hydrophobic powder having a structure characterized substantially of a mixture of plates and fibers, wherein said plates and fibers and hydrophobic characteristics of the mixture facilitate adhesion of the mixture to hair fibers by way of electrostatic forces, wherein the particles in the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture have an average dimension of about 20 microns.
A method for enhancing the appearance of the density of a user's scalp hair and modifying the color balance of the user's hair to make it appear more brown in color, comprising applying a freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture to the user's scalp hair, wherein the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture includes:
- elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers in an amount of about 30 weight percent including a pigment material deposited thereon and/or therein, wherein the elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers have an average length between about 10 and 30 microns;
- silica in an amount between about 10.00 and 15.00 weight percent;
- mica in an amount between about 10.00 and 15.00 weight percent;
- black iron oxide in an amount between about 10.00 and 15.00 weight percent;
- yellow iron oxide in an amount between about 2.00 and 5.00 weight percent;
- titanium dioxide in an amount between about 5.00 and 10.00 weight percent;
- oat kernel protein particles in an amount between about 15.00 and 20.00 weight percent, said oat kernel protein particles having an average particle size between 50 and 100 microns;
- wherein said mixture is in the form of a dry, hydrophobic powder having a structure characterized substantially of a mixture of plates and fibers, wherein said plates and fibers and hydrophobic characteristics of the mixture facilitate adhesion of the mixture to hair fibers by way of electrostatic forces, wherein the particles in the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture have an average dimension between about 15 and 20 microns.
A method for enhancing the appearance of the density of a user's scalp hair and modifying the color balance of the user's hair to make it appear lighter in color, comprising applying a freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture to the user's scalp hair, wherein the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture includes:
- elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers in an amount of about 30 weight percent including a pigment material deposited thereon and/or therein, wherein the elongate polyethylene terephthalate fibers have an average length between about 10 and 30 microns;
- silica in an amount between about 10.00 and 15.00 weight percent;
- mica in an amount of about 5.00 weight percent;
- black iron oxide in an amount of about 5.00 weight percent;
- yellow iron oxide in an amount between about 5.00 and 10.00 weight percent;
- titanium dioxide in an amount between about 5.00 and 10.00 weight percent;
- oat kernel protein particles in an amount between about 25.00 and 30.00 weight percent, said oat kernel protein particles having an average particle size between 50 and 100 microns;
- wherein said mixture is in the form of a dry, hydrophobic powder having a structure characterized substantially of a mixture of plates and fibers, wherein said plates and fibers and hydrophobic characteristics of the mixture facilitate adhesion of the mixture to hair fibers by way of electrostatic forces, wherein the particles in the freely-flowing dry, powdered mixture have an average dimension between about 15 and 20 microns.
