Summary:The present invention relates to a cosmetic treatment method comprising the steps of providing a foamable composition, forming a foam from said foamable composition on release from a pressurized container, drying said foam wherein the foam does not disappear upon drying, wherein said foam is applied or generated between the scalp and the scalp hair and thereby raising the hair. Preferred methods are hair styling methods, methods of permanently shaping the hair, methods of coloring hair and hair care methods. The dried foam can be used as mechanical support for raising the hair, especially as substitutes for conventional hair curlers, rollers, pins, hair clips or hairgrips. The invention also relates to devices for use in said method. The devices comprise a composition capable of forming a foam that can be dried; and an aerosol container equipped with a foaming device. The composition comprises at least 1% by weight, based on the composition without propellants, of a zwitterionic surfactant or a surfactant mixture comprising at least one zwitterionic surfactant, at least one hair fixing polymer, at least 20% by weight, based on the total composition, of at least one propellant and water. Preferred zwitterionic surfactants are surfactants containing a betaine or a sultaine structure. La presente invencion se refiere a un metodo de tratamiento cosmetico que comprende los pasos de proporcionar una composicion espumante, formar una espuma a partir de esa composicion espumante cuando se libera desde un recipiente presurizado, secar esa espuma que no desaparece al secarse, en donde esa espuma se aplica o genera entre el cuero cabelludo y el cabello del cuero cabelludo y de ese modo levanta el cabello. Los metodos preferidos son los metodos para estabilizar el cabello, metodos para modelar permanentemente el cabello, metodos de coloracion del cabello y metodos para el cuidado del cabello. La espuma seca se puede utilizar como soporte mecanico para levantar el cabello, en especial, como sustituto de los rizadores de cabello, tubos, pasadores, horquillas para el cabello o broches convencionales. La invencion se refiere tambien a dispositivo para utilizar en ese metodo. Los dispositivos comprenden una composicion capaz de formar una espuma que puede secarse; y un recipiente de aerosol equipado con un dispositivo espumante. La composicion comprende por lo menos 1 % en peso, basado en la composicion sin propelentes, de un surfactante zwitterionico o una mezcla de surfactantes que comprende por lo menos un surfactante zwitterionico, por lo menos un polimero fijador del cabello, por lo menos 20% en peso, basado en la composicion total, de por lo menos un propelente y agua. Los surfactantes zwitterionicos preferidos son los surfactantes que contienen una estructura de betaina o de sultaina.
