PROCESS FOR CREATING NANOSTRUCTURED POLYMERIC FILMS ATTACHED TO HAIR THAT YIELD DISPERSED COLORS BY LIGHT DIFFRACTION

摘要

A hair treatment process for providing dispersed colors by light diffraction including (a) coating the hair with a material comprising a polymer, (b) pressing the hair with a pressing device including one or more surfaces, and (c) forming a secondary nanostructured surface pattern on the hair that is complementary to the primary nanostructured surface pattern on the one or more surfaces of the pressing device. The secondary nanostructured surface pattern diffracts light into dispersed colors that are visible on the hair. The section of the hair is pressed with the pressing device for from about 1 to 55 seconds. The polymer has a glass transition temperature from about 55 C to about 90 C. The one or more surfaces include a primary nanostructured surface pattern.
