Claim:
A process for permanently reshaping keratin fibers, comprising: (i) applying a reducing composition to the keratin fibers; and (ii) oxidizing the keratin fibers; wherein the process further comprises applying to the keratin fibers, before (i) and/or after (ii), a pre-treatment and/or post-treatment cosmetic composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable medium, at least one aminosilicone in non-microemulsified form chosen from aminosilicones of formulae (I) and (II) below: wherein in formula (I): m and n are numbers such that the sum (n+m) ranges from 1 to 1 000, n is a number ranging from 0 to 999 and m is a number ranging from 1 to 1 000; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , which may be identical or different, are chosen from hydroxyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy radicals, wherein at least one of the radicals R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is chosen from C 1 -C 4 alkoxy radicals; and wherein in formula (II): p and q are numbers such that the sum (p+q) ranges from 1 to 1 000, p is a number ranging from 0 to 999 and q is a number ranging from 1 to 1 000; R 1 , R 2 , which may be identical or different, are chosen from hydroxyl and C 1 -C 4 alkoxy radicals, wherein at least one of the radicals R 1 and R 2 is chosen from C 1 -C 4 alkoxy radicals.
