Composition for the permanent deformation of hair having reduced odor

1. A permanent shaping composition for the permanent deformation of hair comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier,

(a) at least one reducing agent comprising a mercapto functional group,

(b) at least one alkalizing agent, and

(c) a malodor suppressant system comprising at least a first and a second malodor suppressant, the first and second malodor suppressants form the malodor suppressant system, wherein the first and second malodor suppressants are a combination of operanide and isopropyl myristate.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the malodor suppressant system (c) is comprised in an amount of at least 0.05 wt % to 70 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition has a viscosity of from 0.3 to 200 mPas.

4. A kit for the permanent deformation of hair comprising

A. an individually packaged composition comprising

(a) at least one reducing agent comprising a mercapto functional group, and

(b) at least one alkalizing agent;

B. an individually packaged malodor suppressant system (c) comprising at least a first malodor suppressant, and a second malodor suppressant, the first and second malodor suppressant form the malodor suppressant system, wherein the first malodor and second malodor suppressants are operanide and isopropyl myristate; and

C. optionally, an individually packaged fixing composition comprising an oxidizing agent.

5. A method for the permanent deformation of hair comprising the following steps:

i. providing a permanent shaping composition by mixing

(a) at least one reducing agent comprising a mercapto functional group,

(b) at least one alkalizing agent, and

(c) a malodor suppressant system comprising at least a first malodor suppressant, and a second malodor suppressant and optionally one or more further maloder suppressants, the first and second malodor suppressant and any further maloder suppressant-form the malodor suppressant system, wherein the first malodor and second malodor suppressants each have a molecular weight of from 100 to 400 g/mol, and a distribution coefficient log P (octanol/water) of 2 or more, wherein the first and second malodor suppressant are different compounds;

ii. applying the permanent shaping composition to the hair before or after putting the hair in a desired shape;

iii. allowing the permanent shaping composition to act on the hair for a predetermined acting time sufficient for the permanent shaping of the hair;

iv. rinsing the hair with water;

v. applying to the hair a fixing composition comprising an oxidizing agent for performing an oxidative post-treatment of the hair; and

vi. rinsing the hair with water.
