PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a formulation, kit and method for reconstructing disulfide bonds in keratin found in hair, skin or nails. Hair damaged by hair coloring treatments and / or other reduction treatments such as in wave perms can be treated with a formulation comprising one or more active agents. The formulation may be applied after or simultaneously with the hair coloring process. The use of an active agent formulation during wave perm treatment allows at least 1 week, preferably at least 3 months, more preferably at least 1 year, most preferably more than 1 year from one or more applications of the formulation. The hair is prevented from returning to the previous state. Application of the active agent formulation to the skin or nails can help repair disulfide bonds that have been damaged by natural wear or natural aging. [Selection figure] None |
