Abstract:
An agent for the permanent shaping of hair, characterized in that it contains as active keratin-reducing substance a compound of the general formula ##STR4## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 stand for H, carboxy or a straight- or branched-chain alkyl radical, monohydroxyalkyl radical or polyhydroxyalkyl radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms respectively, on the condition thatnot all radicals R.sub.1 to R3 stand for H at the same time;if R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 stand for H, then R.sub.3 is carboxy or a branched alkyl, branched monohydroxyalkyl or branched polyhydroxyalkyl radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms;if none of the radicals R.sub.1 to R.sub.2 stand for carboxy or have a branched alkyl, branched monohydroxyalkyl or branched polyhydroxyalkyl radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, then at least two of the radicals R.sub.1, R.sub.2 or R.sub.3 stand for a straight-chain alkyl, monohydroxyalkyl or polyhydroxyalkyl radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms andif one of the radicals is carboxy, then the other two radicals are not carboxy at the same time.
