Permanent waving composition
First Claim
1. A hair reducing or permanent waving lotion for use in the permanent waving of hair, said lotion comprisingA. between about 5% and 40% by weight of the total composition of a reducing agent comprising at least one polyoxyethyleneglycol dimercaptoalkyl-ester having the formula
where n is 2 to 33, and ##STR6## B. between about 2% and 6% by weight of an ionic or non-ionic detergent;
C. between about 1% and 2% by weight of ammonium chloride;
D. between about 2% and 6% by weight of a penetrating agent; and
E. the balance comprising one or more agents selected from the group consisting of protein hydrolyzates, chelating agents, wetting agents, fragrances, conditioning agents and water.

Abstract
An entirely new class of reducing agents with substantially enhanced beneficial results is attained by employing polyoxyethyleneglycol dimercaptoalkylester compounds in a permanent waving lotion. This new class of reducing agents are water soluble, non-volatile and provide a substantially reduced malodor effect. Furthermore, by employing the dithiol compounds of the present invention as the reducing agent, long lasting hair conditioning and enhanced physical attributes, such as shine, luster, softness, manageability, and hair thickness, are also realized.
