Abstract

A process for permanently reshaping keratin fibers, comprising the application to the keratin fibers, before reducing and/or after the fixing, of a pre-treatment and/or post-treatment cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one aminosilicone, as defined herein, in non-microemulsified form.

11. The process according to claim 1 , wherein in formula (II) the p is a number ranging from 159 to 239.

12. The process according to claim 1 , wherein in formula (II) the q is a number ranging from 1 to 10.

13. The process according to claim 1 , wherein in formula (II) the q is a number ranging from 1 to 5.

14. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the C 1 -C 4 alkoxy radical is a methoxy radical.

15. The process according to claim 1 , wherein, for the at least one aminosilicone of formula (I), the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio ranges from 0.2:1 to 0.4:1.

16. The process according to claim 15 , wherein the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio ranges from 0.25:1 to 0.35:1.

17. The process according to claim 16 , wherein the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio is equal to 0.3:1.

18. The process according to claim 1 , wherein, for the at least one aminosilicone of formula (II), the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio ranges from 1:0.8 to 1:1.1.

19. The process according to claim 18 , wherein the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio ranges from 1:0.9 to 1:1.

20. The process according to claim 19 , wherein the hydroxyl/alkoxy molar ratio is equal to 1:0.95.

21. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one aminosilicone of formula (I) has a weight-average molecular mass ranging from 2 000 to 1 000 000.

22. The process according to claim 21 , wherein the at least one aminosilicone of formula (I) has a weight-average molecular mass ranging from 3 500 to 200 000.

23. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one aminosilicone of formula (II) has a weight-average molecular mass ranging from 2 000 to 200 000.

24. The process according to claim 23 , wherein the at least one aminosilicone of formula (II) has a weight-average molecular mass ranging from 5 000 to 100 000.
