Abstract

A hair transformation agent, useful in transforming hair texture from kinky to curly, by application of this non permanent solution. The solution acts like the sebum of a human. Hair that is naturally rich in sebum is healthy, shiny, strong, nourished. Hair that is lacking is in typically in bad condition. Hair shaft can lack sebum because of chemical use, but seems to be a natural occurrence in kinky hair. Because of this people with kinky hair often seek extreme measures to restore their hair or make it more manageable. Most resort to chemical processing to change the texture look and feel of the hair only this just makes the hair worst. Our formula will give kinky hair the sebum it is lacking and in the process the hair will begin to act, look and feel like another hair texture that has abundant sebum naturally, curly hair, and textural change will occur.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of transforming hair texture from kinky to curly, via a physical change, the formula acts like human sebum, a natural oil secreted from the scalp of human being and animals.
 To facilitate change a non permanent solution is applied comprising of generous portions of what can be described as (a) a moisturizer, which aids as an anti caking agent, or a lubricant, which allows the hair to stay hydrated for a duration of time, allows waxes within the formula to be pliable, these oils can come in two forms essential oil or a carrier oil; (b) a wetting agent that facilitates holding power, sets in curls, allowing hair to change its texture from kinky to curly, and allows hairs to adhere to one another to form curly pattern and renounce its former afro form temporarily, also allows formula to have a soft, creamy consistency; (c)a plasticizing agent which also acts as an, emollient, gloss agent, feel modifier, degreaser, and a lubricant, which deposits shine on to the hair to give a wet look, also acts as an anti caking, anti freezing to keep waxes in the formula from hardening; (d) a generous amount of emulsifying agent which keeps all waxes, oils and liquid bound together to create a thick butter like homogenous mixture; (e) the coating agent which also acts as a bonding and binding agent, are the combination of two or more waxes derived from plant and or animal, they act as -a coating agent by forming an invisible layer around each hair shaft which serves as its protector it also increases the diameter of each hair strand making it thicker and stronger—a hair shaft binding agent, causing the hairs to adhere to one another to form the curls—a hair shaft bonding agent which bonds the split-ends or any other discontinuities on the hair shaft together temporarily; (f) a holding agent may be used to add color, reflect light and to add shine to strands and also acts as a holding agent to help manipulate hair to stay in a more defined curl pattern, these agents together comprised in this  claim 1  combine to make the invention being addressed, the formula will act like the natural human sebum secreted from the sebaceous glands, hence the change in texture and the over-all physical characteristics of the hair, the kinky hair will take on all the properties of curly hair and will begin to mimic its behavior ,all because the formula with its natural sebum properties are applied, when natural human sebum is abundant in hair that is not chemically treated, the hair's texture will be soft, manageable, healthy, strong, it can also serve as a natural protector that keeps hair healthy when it is chemically treated, when sebum is lacking hair will be dry, dull, and have no defense against breaking in its natural state or especially if it is chemically treated, kinky hair naturally lacks this special human secretion called sebum, giving it the sebum it needs will not only make it look and feel better but it will begin to take on the properties of hair types that are rich in sebum mainly curly hair.   
     
     
         2 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said hair shaft bonding agent, hair shaft binding agent, coating agent and emulsifying agent comprise of at least one component consisting of hydrocarbons, fatty acids, alcohols, free acids, and esters as well as other materials. 
     
     
         3 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said holding agent etc., contain complex silicate of aluminium and alkalies with hydroxyl. They crystallize in monoclinic system. Some varieties may contain iron, magnesium, lithium and rarely fluorine, barium, manganese and vandium. 
     
     
         4 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said plasticizing agent's etc., chemical makeup is oxygen, carbon, and C12- C15 fatty moiety. 
     
     
         5 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said wetting agent consist of H2O, amylase and amylopectin, chemical compound, Na 2 B 4 O 7.10H 2 O. Also unknown preserving and processing agents used to stabilize. 
     
     
         6 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein said moisturizing agent consist of any one or more than one essential oil and any or more than one carrier oil. Essential oils are scented and plant-based. While highly favored for their aromatic qualities, the oils are also nutrient-rich. An essential oil carries many of the same vitamins and minerals as the plant it is extracted from. This means the oils provide a powerful dose of nutrients to unhealthy hair. Carrier oils are non-scented and usually vegetable or nut-based. They can be used alone or used as a way to dilute essential oils. The exact proportions used to mix essential and carrier oils depends largely on the characteristic of the specific hair texture being dealt with or what the product seeks to achieve. There are currently about eight different variations of the formula to transform kinky hair to curly hair so types of oil, and the amounts, may be different in each variation, also oils may be used that comes from animal sebum such as lanolin. 
     
     
         7 . When the product is applied for the first time, and any time after that the hair's texture will change from kinky to curly and a physical change in texture that is not permanent will be observable even after product is washed out. When the product is removed the hair will return to its natural kinky state. Over time the process of the hair changing from kinky to curly will get easier, the hair will have gotten used to the formula and would have gotten used to being in a curly pattern. Even when the product is washed out of the hair using shampoo the hair will retain some of its curly and wavy_features because it would have gotten used to being in that pattern and will try to revert to it when possible. However this is still not due to a chemical change, it is only due to the fact that hair has memory and will tend to take on any pattern that it is frequently manipulated into. So texture or pattern will become so that it is in-between slightly curly and kinky overtime it will become more curly and less kinky, as it was before the hair was ever introduced to the product. So texture will improve with increased use of the product and will continue to do so overtime. When the user stops using the product entirely, over time the hair will more than likely lose its curly pattern and go back to being entirely kinky as it was before the product was used. 
     
     
         8 . The hair especially kinky hair will have split ends or other damage to the hair shaft, from combing, tugging, washing, heat styling, blow drying, dying. Since the hair is dead it is unable to repair itself even if damage becomes apparent. Split ends are characterized by the end of the hair actually being split into 2, 3 and even 4 at the end or anywhere else on the air shaft. This is caused by the hair being weak and becoming frayed at the ends, or the hair becoming damaged anywhere on the shaft. It is caused by chemicals, styling, heating, and is a natural occurrence no one if free from, the hair gets dry, weak and then it splits. When the formula is smoothed onto the hair the split ends seal back together temporarily.
