Formulations, kits and methods for reconstituting disulfide bonds in hair, skin or nails. Damaged hair due to other reducing treatments such as during hair dyeing and / or permanent waving can be treated with formulations containing one or more active agents. The formulation may be applied subsequently to the hair dyeing process or simultaneously with the hair dyeing process. The use of an active agent formulation during permanent waving is preferred for at least one week, preferably at least three months, more preferably at least one year, and most preferably more than one year after at least one application of the formulation, Thereby preventing it from returning. Application of the active agent formulation to the skin or nail can restore damaged disulfide bonds due to natural wear or natural aging. |
