from about 9% to about 11% arabinose;
from about 4% to about 6% ethylene carbonate; and
a cosmetically acceptable carrier;
(b) applying the crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and
(c) mechanically shaping the keratin fibres with an appliance at a temperature of from about 50° C. to about 250° C.;
wherein the ratio of arabinose to ethylene carbonate is about from 7:4 to about 9:4.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mechanical shaping of keratin fibres is straightening keratin fibres or curling keratin fibres.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking composition comprises about 10% arabinose, by weight of the crosslinking composition.
