Abstract

This invention concerns a treatment which may be applied on practically all hair and which substantially improves the cosmetic properties thereof. More particularly, it contemplates a novel hair grooming aid to beautify hair, particularly living hair, which includes as a necessary ingredient a solid phase of finely divided fibrillatable polytetrafluoroethylene (hereinafter referred to as "PTFE") resin. The invention includes a process of grooming hair comprising applying the grooming aid to hair and brushing the hair at a temperature above the transition temperature at which PTFE fibriliates to form microscopic and submicroscopic fibers, in an amount sufficient to give the hair a natural appearance and to maintain its set for a long time.
