Abstract
A method and composition for improving hair body and manageability while not effecting a change in color, such method comprising applying to the hair an effective amount of an aqueous solution of from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an aromatic peracid oxidizing agent, particularly m-chloroperbenzoic acid and diperisophthalic acid, the aromatic peracid oxidizing agents providing maximum reaction with the fiber surface producing increased hair body and manageability with minimum diffusion into the interior of the hair so as to avoid effecting a change in color.
