20090070945METHOD OF COLORING HAIR - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to color hair. The composition contains at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, at least one hair colorant, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for coloring involve contacting hair with the composition of the disclosure.03-19-2009
20090071493COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CONDITIONING HAIR - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for protecting hair from both humid and arid environmental conditions. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate which protects the hair from adverse conditions. The compositions contain at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for protecting hair involve applying the compositions of the disclosure onto hair.03-19-2009
20090071494METHODS FOR INHIBITING COLOR FADING IN HAIR - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to inhibit color fading in hair. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate that inhibits color fading in both dye and naturally colored hair. The compositions contain at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for inhibiting color fading in hair involve contacting the hair with the compositions of the disclosure.03-19-2009
20090071495COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD FOR SHAPING AND STYLING HAIR - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to shape or style hair. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the hair which aids in shaping or styling hair. The compositions contain at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, at least one film-former, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for shaping or styling hair involve contacting the hair with the composition of the disclosure.03-19-2009
20090074683COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING KERATINOUS SUBSTRATES - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions to treat keratinous substrates. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate. The compositions contain at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for treating keratinous substrates involve contacting the keratinous substrates with the compositions of the disclosure.03-19-2009
20090074700COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMPARTING SHINE ONTO HAIR - The disclosure relates to compositions and methods for imparting shine onto hair. The compositions provide a water resistant and non-transferable protective barrier on the substrate which protects the hair from adverse conditions and imparts shine. The composition contains at least one polyamine, at least one acid, at least one water-insoluble ingredient, at least one shine agent, solvent and optionally at least one auxiliary ingredient. The methods for imparting shine onto hair involve applying the composition of the disclosure onto hair.03-19-2009
