Abstract:
A device for treating at least one lock of hair, comprising: —at least one device (20) for applying mechanical stress to the hair, having a reception surface intended to receive the lock of hair, this surface being greater in width L in a direction perpendicular to said lock, —a microwave-proof chamber which is configured so as to receive the mechanical-stress-application device (20) and at least one part of the hair to be treated, —a microwave emission antenna (30) placed inside the chamber, this antenna extending axially over a distance D at least equal to L/2.
Abstract:
The appliance for treating the hair, having two arms to be closed over the hair to be treated, at least one of the arms carrying a refill of hair treatment product, the appliance having an electronic control circuit with an electronic memory, this circuit being designed to detect the closure of the arms and the fitting of the refill, the appliance having a steam generator for outputting steam onto the hair and at least one heated straightening plate, the appliance being designed to increment a variable in the memory during the use of the appliance after the refill has been changed and to pass into a downgraded mode of operation in which the operation of the steam generator and/or of the straightening plate is modified when the variable exceeds a first predefined threshold.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibers, preferably the hair, comprising at least the steps consisting in: a) applying to said keratin fibers a composition containing at least one substance chosen from fatty substances, non-silicone polymers and surfactants, b) applying a mechanical tension to said keratin fibers, and c) exposing said keratin fibers under mechanical tension to microwaves, at a pressure ranging from 50 000 to 250 000 Pa, in the presence of at least one solvent in vapor form on contact with the keratin fibers and without there being complete drying of the keratin fibers throughout the entire exposure to the microwaves, the solvent(s) in vapor form being entirely generated by evaporating at least one compound present, before emission of the microwaves, on contact with the keratin fibers, step a) taking place prior to step c).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an assembly including: —a styling tool (5), in particular a straightening iron, to be moved along a lock of hair to which water and/or a cosmetic composition has been applied, and—a collecting device (7) coupled to the styling tool so as to collect a runoff generated during the movement of the tool over the hair on account of the presence of water and/or said composition on the hair, the collecting device having a reservoir (9) for picking up the runoff.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for treating the hair, which comprises: a) the application to the hair of a composition comprising one or more polymers containing a silicone unit bearing alkoxy-(aminomethyl)-silyl functional groups, b) the application to the hair of steam by means of a device that is capable of generating steam, step b) possibly preceding, following or being simultaneous with step a).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to particular photodimerizable polymers comprising at least one polyoxyalkylene group, and also to a composition comprising at least one of these polymers. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin materials, in particular keratin fibres, preferably human keratin fibres such as the hair, comprising the application to said keratin materials of at least one of these particular photodimerizable polymers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a foil (14) for a strand (12) of keratinic fibers including a first sheet (20) and a second sheet, the first sheet (20) being connected to the second sheet by an articulation, in particular a hinge, the first sheet (20) being movable relative to the second sheet between a closed configuration for illumination of the strand and an open configuration. The first sheet (20) is substantially at least partially transparent to the UV-visible light, and the second sheet (22) is substantially at least partially opaque to the UV-visible light.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a general process for treating keratin substances, preferably keratin fibres, comprising the following steps: c) applying to the keratin substances a composition comprising at least one photo-crosslinkable polymer including at least one photo-dimerizable pendant group and at least one hydrophobic pendant group, and d) irradiating said composition on the keratin substances to crosslink the polymer.
Abstract:
A device for treating hair, including two arms configured to move relative to one another between a moved-together configuration for treating the hair and a spaced-apart configuration for inserting hair to be treated between the arms. At least one of the arms includes a seal.
