摘要：
A hair straightening topical composition comprising transglutaminase and polylysine, which act to form a surface barrier film and moisture shield around human hair. The transglutaminase also contributes to hair straightening. The composition also comprises one or more additional hair straightening agents, other than TGase, that are capable of affecting secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures of human hair, preferably sodium metabisulfite and/or tourmaline. The invention includes compositions that may be washed out of the hair after straightening has occurred, and compositions that are intended to remain in the hair for additional or extended benefits. The invention includes methods of using a topical composition that is capable of affecting secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures of human hair. Testing indicates that the hair straightening is long term, occurs significantly faster than known commercial hair straightening compositions, and there is significantly less damage to hair compared to known heat and chemical treatments.
