IPA COPYRIGHT: ASHP A novel technique of hair treatment via introduction of nonpolar residues into hair structure in hydroalcoholic media is described. Hair modified in this manner exhibits greatly enhanced settability and high set retention, even at high levels of ambient humidity. The setting behavior can be manipulated by utilizing the differential swelling response of treated hair to water and aqueous alcohols.
