Method for Lengthening Keratin Fibers

Abstract

There is a method for lengthening keratin fibers. The method has the steps of a) applying to the keratin fibers a composition having a solvent and one or more polymers soluble or solubilizable in the solvent b) allowing the solvent to evaporate. The composition is applied in an amount sufficient to lengthen the keratin fibers. There are also other methods for lengthening keratin fibers. There is also a mascara composition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for lengthening keratin fibers, comprising
 a) applying to the keratin fibers a fluid composition having
 i) a solvent; 
 ii) one or more polymers soluble or dispersible in the solvent, said one or more polymers comprising hydrogenated polycyclopentadiene, and 
   b) pulling said fluid composition with a brush or applicator to draw out said composition beyond the end of said keratin fibers; and   c) allowing said solvent to evaporate such that said one or more polymers set to thereby form a filamentous extension anchored to the keratin fiber.
