Hair care compositions and methods of treating hair using same
View Patent ↗The present invention provides kits and methods for treating hair on the scalp comprising non-toxic compositions providing beneficial effects on hair without employing high temperatures, free radical initiators or rinsing hair after applying the compositions.
1. A method for treating hair, comprising the step of:
applying to hair a composition comprising a compound according to formula (I):
having a molecular weight less than about 1500 g/mol;
wherein R 11 is hydrogen, fluorine, or methyl optionally substituted with one to three fluorine atoms;
R 12 is cyclic, acyclic, branched or unbranched aliphatic; cyclic, acyclic, branched or unbranched heteroaliphatic; cyclic, acyclic, branched or unbranched aryl; cyclic, acyclic, branched or unbranched heteroaryl, or branched or unbranched acyl;
wherein R 12 contains a terminal F 2 HC-group; and
wherein the method does not employ a free radical initiator, a polymerization initiator or a polymerization catalyst.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least 50% of the total number of hydrogen and fluorine atoms are fluorine atoms.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least 90% of the total number of hydrogen and fluorine atoms are fluorine atoms.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least 95% of the total number of hydrogen and fluorine atoms are fluorine atoms.
