摘要:
A method of treating a material, the method comprising the steps of: (1) contacting the material with a composition comprising an electrophilic species selected from aldehydes, succinimidyl esters, and mixtures thereof; (2) contacting the material with a composition comprising a chelating agent and/or a salt of an amine and a carboxylic acid. The material is preferably a keratinous material, particularly wool; human or animal hair. Step (1) may be performed before, after or simultaneously with step (2), particularly wherein steps (1) and (2) are simultaneous the components are provided in a single composition. Hair care compositions comprising an electrophilic species selected from aldehydes, succinimidyl esters, and mixtures thereof and a chelating agent and/or a salt of an amine and a carboxylic acid and packaged products comprising the same are also disclosed. The aldehyde is preferably selected from alpha-hydroxy aldehydes, such as 2-hydroxydecanal, 2-hydroxyoctanal and glyceraldehyde. The chelating agent is preferably a polycarboxylic acid, particularly N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-glutamic acid (GLDA) or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).
