This invention relates to compounds useful for treating fungal infections, more specifically topical treatment of onychomycosis and / or cutaneous fungal infections. This invention is directed to compounds that are active against fungi and have properties that allow the compound, when placed in contact with a patient, to reach the particular part of the skin, nail, hair, claw or hoof infected by the fungus. In particular the present compounds have physiochemical properties that facilitate penetration of the nail plate.

A method and apparatus to automatically generate a customized color palette receives data corresponding to several physical attributes of a living subject, such as hair, skin and eyes and conducts an analysis uniquely corresponding to each attribute, and may associate each attribute with at least one property such as a color family, a technical identifier, an intensifier, a temperature, a power color, and a saturation designation. Software may identify the color linked to each attribute by, for example, an LAB value, an RGB value, an HTML value, an XYZ value or a CMY value, while an intensifier may be a contrasting color, and saturation may indicate whether the color linked to the attribute is a tone, tint, shade or hue. A color palette uniquely compatible with the subject may be presented by print media, monitor, printer, cell phone, personal digital assistant, or the like.

A method for applying a particulate benefit agent to a body surface is provided. The method employs a particulate benefit agent coated with a polymer. The polymer-coated benefit agent is applied to a body surface such as hair or skin, in the presence of a composition comprising a peptide having affinity for the polymer. The presence of the polymer-binding peptide in the application serves to extend the binding longevity of the coated particulate benefit agent on the body surface.

A two step method of coloring hair is described. The hair is first contacted for a period of time with a dye precursor mixture containing an oxidative dye, specific fatty components and one or more water miscible organic solvents. Color is then developed in a second step by contacting the hair with one or more oxidizing agents. Greater color intensity and longevity are achieved when the fatty component in the dye precursor mixture contains at least one fatty amine and the fatty ingredients and organic solvents satisfy the relationship, ΣFC<0.037(ΣOS)2−3.35(ΣOS)+63, where ΣFC and ΣOS are respectively the total weight of fatty ingredients and the total weight of water miscible organic solvents in the precursor mixture.

The present invention provides compositions blended in hair treating agents which can prepare a hair conditioner, a coloring agent, a waving agent, a finishing agent, a feeling improving agent, a perfume dispersing agent, a refreshner or a thickning agent easily and by lower price, further provides a hair treating agent which is excellent in hair treating feature, such as moist feel, slippery feel, wetting feeling, smooth feel, soft feel, slightly oily feel, rustle feeling, luster, supple, no stickiness, smooth combing, setting ability by containing alcohols.

A handheld head treatment device and method for reducing hair loss and stimulating hair growth by supplying current and laser light to a user's head. The device includes a current generator disposed within a housing configured to output a current for passage into the user's head and a laser source and guide means disposed within the housing configured to output and direct respective portions of the laser beam outward from the hair treatment device toward the user's head when the hair treatment device is in use. The method comprises the step of directing a series of different current and laser treatments to a portion of the scalp wherein the programmed current treatments are sequentially administered and include a continuous and pulsed direct current treatment.

An integrated shaver and hair trimmer device with an adjustable handle includes a shaver and trimmer assembly with a shaver / trimmer head including one or more cutting blade assemblies and an elongated handle assembly connected to the shaver and trimmer assembly. The shaver and trimmer assembly and the handle assembly are constructed and arranged such that at a point of connection of the assemblies either the shaver and trimmer assembly or the handle assembly move or pivot about the point of connection to adjust a position or angle of the handle assembly relative to the shaver and trimmer assembly. The device is further constructed and arranged to securely and removably fix the handle assembly at a required or desired position or angle relative to the shaver and trimmer assembly including any one of a multiple of positions or any position within a certain range of movement of the handle assembly. Alternatively, the handle assembly is constructed and arranged at a fixed position or angle relative to the shaver and trimmer assembly. The device may further include an extension arm movably connected to the handle assembly to permit the handle assembly to be lengthened or shortened. The integrated shaver and hair trimmer device may be constructed as either a battery-operated device or as an electric device.
