An isolated peptide consisting of FKCRRWQWRMKKL (SEQ ID NO: 1) for preserving the natural color of the hair, or slowing the decay in the natural pigment production of the hair follicle, or reducing the appearance of hair graying is provided. Also disclosed herein are methods and compositions for preserving the natural color of the hair, or slowing the decay in the natural pigment production of the hair follicle, or reducing the appearance of hair graying in a mammal subject.

Hair treatment products contain 0.001 to 20% by weight of a complexing agent selected from tetrasodium-N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamate, pentasodium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), tetrasodium disuccinate (IDS) and from about 0.05 to about 0.5 mol/kg of either a bivalent salt of a monovalent organic acid or 0.01 to 0.5 mol/kg of at least one monovalent organic acid (c1) and 0.01 to 0.1 mol/kg at least one bivalent inorganic salt (c2). Use improves structural reinforcement and reduces or prevents color washout in dyed hair.

Hair treatment products comprising, in relation to its weight, from about 0.001 to about 20% by weight of at least one alpha-substituted aldehyde and from about 0.001 to about 20% by weight of at least one protein hydrolysate, which lead to improved structural reinforcement of keratin fibres and improved hair care, and which reduce or prevent colour washout in dyed hair.

Hair treatment products, comprising, in relation to its weight, from about 0.001 to about 20% by weight of a complexing agent from the groups tetrasodium-N,N-bis(carboxylatomethyl)-L-glutamate (tetrasodium glutamate diacetic acid, GLDA), pentasodium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), tetrasodium disucciniate (IDS) and from about 0.001 to about 50% by weight of at least one amino-functional silicon, which lead to improved structural reinforcement of keratin fibres and improved hair care, and which reduce or prevent colour washout in dyed hair.

The present invention is directed to the hair care treatment compositions, including pre- and post-treatment compositions, containing select aryl alkanone compounds as quenching and/or chelating agents.

This disclosure relates to a composition for coloring hair containing comprising a multi-lamellar gel emulsion, which includes a haircolor formulation, and a method of making the same. The multi-lamellar gel emulsion includes about 0.5 wt % to about 4.0 wt % of cosmetically acceptable emulsifying fats, a cosmetically acceptable non-ionic surfactant, a water-soluble suspending polymer, and at least 80 wt % of water.

The present disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions comprising at least one amino acid, at least one carboxylic acid, and monoethanolamine. The disclosure also relates to methods of using the hair treatment compositions.

A method of in person customization and creation of a hair care product, the method includes establishing a brick and mortar store, the brick and mortar store having an interior area with stations; creating a first station having one or more hair product bases; creating a second station having one or more add ins for hair care; and providing a container for an individual to create a customized hair care product within the container, the customized hair care product having one of the one or more hair product bases; the customized hair care product is based on the individual's hair care needs; and the one or more hair product bases and one or more add ins are composed of natural ingredients.

A method of combatting colour loss from a dyed material, the method comprising contacting the material with a composition comprising an alpha-substituted aldehyde.

Compositions, kits, and methods for repairing bonds, for example, disulfide bonds, in hair or on the skin are disclosed. The compositions provide improved conditioning benefit for dry hair or moisturize the skin. The compositions also provide a long lasting moisturized feel and smooth feel to the skin or hair, without feeling greasy. The compositions contain one or more compounds that covalently bind at least two thiol groups in the hair or on the skin. Use of the binding compositions prevents reversion of the repaired bonds to their free thiol state, for at least one week or one month, or more, after a single application of the composition. Improved methods of styling hair, for example permanent hair waving, hair curling, hair coloring or highlighting, and hair straightening, are also provided.
