Hair waving process and process for permanently restructuring kinky or curly hair

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, A process for the restructuring of hair in which the hair is exposed to the action of a reducing solution containing at least one reducing agent capable of cystine cleavage, for a time, e.g. from about 5 to about 20 minutes, to achieve substantially maximum cystine bond cleavage; blotting the hair to remove the reactive reducing solution; contacting the hair with a protein flow solution for a period of time, e.g. from about 5 to about 10 minutes, sufficient to induce protein flow in the hair; and urging the hair into a new configuration prior to application of an oxidizing agent to reestablish the cystine bonds. The protein flow solution is an aqueous solution …
