Abstract:
1. A process for permanently reshaping keratin fibres comprising: a) placing the keratin fibres under mechanical tension by rolling keratin fibres on a tensioning device so as to form curls, b) applying a reducing composition to the keratin fibres, c) individually covering each tensioning device rolled with keratin fibres with a cover comprising at least one heat-insulating material chosen from aluminum foil, polyvinylidine chloride, and polyvinyl chloride, so as to form at least one closed space above the keratin fibres, d) heating the keratin fibres at a constant temperature ranging from 45 to 250° C., with a variation of about 3° C., for a period of time ranging from 1 minute to 2 hours, and e) entrapping heat and condensation from the heating of the keratin fibres within the closed space so as to maintain the closed space at a substantially uniform temperature throughout the closed space, wherein at least one of the tensioning device and the cover comprising at least one heat-insulating material further includes at least one heat source as part of the at least one tensioning device and the cover.
