• the smoothing step becomes gradually more detrimental to the hair as the application time proceeds, for as a consequence of the disorganization of its structure the tensile strength of the hair decreases considerably and thus the combing or smoothing operation may cause more or less important local breakages if care is not taken to avoid this operation when about one-half of the application time has elapsed.

It is obvious that the viscosity of these emulsions may range from the milk grade to a pasty one, the technological adaptation alone determining the choice of the viscosity and therefore the proper formulation.
• These emulsions or creams contain as a rule, like most permanent wave solutions. from 3% to 8% of thioglycolic or thiolactic acid, or of an ammonium salt or of an alkali metal salt of these acids.
• an alkali metal salt of an aminoacid consists preferably of v. glycine or glycocoll (aminoacetic acid) but lysine methionine, tyrosine, glutamic acid, leucine, valine, alanine may also be used to this end.'These aminoacids may be, used in the racemic form or in the form of one of their optical isomers.

• the carbonate of the aminoacid alkali metal salt such as sodium glycinate, is adapted to alkalize the curling or uncurling product without having the inconveniences of ammonia; in fact it is not volatile and eliminates the release of unpleasant and suffocating odors, does not attack or modify the perfumes added to said product and is less noxious to the users skin and to the skin of the person undergoing the treatment.
• the organic base possibly associated with the aminoacid alkali metal salt carbonate is advantageous in that it makes the hair considerably more pervious to the curling or uncurling product and permits, as a function of its proportion in the product, of graduating the strength thereof, i.e. the degree and rapidity of the curling and uncurling actions obtained with the product.
• the proportion of aminoacid alkali metal salt carbonate in the product may advantageously range from about 2 to about 12% by weight, and the proportion of the possible organic base may range preferably from about 1% to about by weight.
• the aminoacid alkali metal salt carbonate may be prepared extemporaneously, or even within the curling or uncurling product itself, and in either case without any isolation. This preparation consists in putting into mutual contact, in stoichiometric proportions, alkali metal carbonate and aminoacid, for example 1 mole of sodium carbonate and 2 moles of glycocoll or glycine or aminoacetic acid. From the economical point of view it is advantageous to perform this preparation extemporaneously in aqueous phase during the process of manufacturing the curling or uncurling product.
