Method of conditioning hair
First Claim
1. In a method of conditioning human hair to provide a long lasting permanent wave which includes the steps of applying a permanent wave solution to the hair to shape the hair followed by applying a neutralizer solution to the hair to neutralize the effect of the permanent wave solution and reconstitute the hair, the improvement comprising the steps of:
- applying a reforming mixture to the hair after the hair has been shaped but prior to applying the neutralizer solution, said reforming mixture consisting essentially of magnesium sulfate, water and a reconstructor solution and having a magnesium sulfate to reconstructor weight ratio within the range of from about 0.7 to 1 to about 2.7 to 1 and a water to reconstructor weight ratio within the range of from about 1 to 1 to about 3.5 to 1; and
heating the hair for between about 15 to about 25 minutes after applying the reforming mixture but prior to applying the neutralizer solution.

Abstract
A method of conditioning human hair to provide a long lasting permanent hair wave includes the step of applying a reforming mixture to the hair after applying a wave solution but before applying a neutralizer solution. The reforming mixture includes magnesium sulfate, water and a hair reconstructor solution with a magnesium sulfate to reconstructor weight ratio within the range of from about 0.7 to 1 to about 2.7 to 1 and a water to reconstructor weight ratio within the range of from about 1 to 1 to about 3.5 to 1.
