Hair treatment composition and process using metal salts
First Claim
1. A composition for the treatment of human hair, comprising compositions (A) and (B) that are kept separate until application and that, upon admixture in the presence of water, increase in viscosity while generating heat, whereinan essentially anhydrous composition (A) comprises a physiologically compatible salt selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, aluminum chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate and beryllium chloride and that generates heat when mixed with water, and one or more thickening agents selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, pectin, silica, magnesium aluminum silicate and aluminum silicate, andcomposition (B) comprises one or more polyalcohols that is liquid at 25°
- C. and, is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, glycerol and diglycerol.

Abstract
A composition for hair treatment comprising at least two compositions (A) and (B) that are kept separate until application and that upon mixing increase in viscosity while generating heat, wherein one composition (A) comprises an essentially anhydrous mixture of a physiologically compatible salt that generates heat when mixed with water, and at least one thickening agent, and composition (B) comprising at least one polyalcohol that is liquid at 25° C. and is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, glycerol and diglycerol and, optionally, additional hair conditioning. A process for hair treatment, wherein composition (B) is first mixed with water and then blended with composition (A), whereby, while generating heat, a viscous gel develops that is applied onto the hair where it provides an enhanced conditioning effect due to improved penetration at higher temperature.

10. A process for the treatment of hair, comprising the steps of mixing
an essentially anhydrous composition (A) comprising a physiologically compatible salt selected from the group consisting of calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, zinc chloride, aluminum chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate and beryllium chloride and that develops heat upon admixture with water and one or more thickening agents selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, pectin, silica, magnesium aluminum silicate and aluminum silicate, water, and a composition (B) comprising one or more polyalcohols that is liquid at 25° - C. and is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol and di-, tri- or polyglycerol,
wherein heat is generated while viscosity of the mixture increases during mixing to obtain a gel, applying said gel onto human hair, and rinsing said gel after processing.
- C. and is selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol and di-, tri- or polyglycerol,
