Patent ID: 8021651

Claim:
A process for temporary deformation of keratin fibers comprising: preparing a liquid styling composition comprising an aqueous solvent and at least one film-forming and/or setting polymer chosen from vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl acetate/crotonic acid copolymers, vinyl caprolactam/vinylpyrrolidone/dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymers, octylacrylamide-acrylate-butylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymers and vinylpyrrolidone/dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, mixing the liquid styling composition with silica silylate forming a pulverulent composition, wherein the pulverulent composition comprises 50 to 95 wt. % of the aqueous solvent, based on total weight of the pulverulent composition, at least one film-forming and/or setting polymer, and silica silylate, wherein the silica silylate is present in an amount of 0.5 to 15 wt. %, and applying the pulverulent composition to the fibers.
