A method of protecting the internal protein of hair from damage by ultraviolet light, comprising the step of applying, to the hair, a hair treatment composition comprising a lactone, a disaccharide, an inorganic salt and an organic acid or salt thereof, having a pH in the range of from 3 to 6.5 prior to the application of an ultraviolet light to the hair, and a use of such a hair treatment composition, in the treatment of hair, to protect hair from damage by ultraviolet light.

An aerosol cosmetic hair preparation including a cosmetic hair preparation stock solution containing a surfactant (A) and an organic acid except for citric acid, or a salt thereof (B), and a propellant (C) containing carbon dioxide, having a pH at 20° C. of 3.0 or more and 5.0 or less. The component (B) comprises an aromatic sulfonic acid or a salt thereof.

Hair treatment compositions and methods of using them to treat hair are described. The hair treatment compositions include: (a) citric acid, one or more salts of citric acid, or a combination thereof; or a combination of citric acid and one or more salts of citric acid, wherein the weight ratio of citric acid to salts of citric acid added to form the combination is from 1:10 to 10:1; (b) one or more surfactants; and (c) water; wherein the pH of the composition is from about 3 to about 10; and weight percentages are based on the total weight of the composition. The hair treatment compositions are particularly useful for strengthening hair fibers.
