Abstract:
The present invention relates to a two-component hair relaxer system comprising (a) a first component comprising a cream base containing a water-soluble salt of a relatively strong base with an anion capable of being precipitated by an alkaline earth metal ion under highly alkaline conditions, and (b) a second, separate component, which is substantially free of water, and containing an alkaline material having an alkaline earth metal ion which forms a precipitate with the anion when the first component and second component are mixed.
