General Description

4,5-Dimethylresorcinol is an organic chemical compound of the resorcinol family. It's scientifically identified as C8H10O2 and contains two methyl groups on its aromatic ring. This chemical is largely present in several manufacturing industries due to its diverse range of scientific and industrial applications. It is used in the production of light stabilizers in the polymer industry, as an intermediary in pharmaceuticals, and in manufacturing dyes. However, due to its reactive nature, 4,5-dimethylresorcinol should be carefully handled, as exposure could result in eye or skin irritation.

PROCESS FOR STRAIGHTENING KERATIN FIBRES WITH A HEATING MEANS AND DENATURING AGENTS

The invention relates to a process for straightening keratin fibres, comprising: (i) a step in which a straightening composition containing at least two denaturing agents is applied to the keratin fibres, (ii) a step in which the temperature of the keratin fibres is raised, using a heating means, to a temperature of between 110 and 250° C.
