FIELD: nonpermanent deformation of individual's keratin fibers, in particular, hairs. SUBSTANCE: method involves providing contact between fibers and gas containing water steam for time interval not exceeding 2 min at temperature not exceeding 75 C, while keratin fibers are tightened. Keratin fibers are covered with composition containing at least one silicone. Treated keratin fibers are cooled and devices for mechanical tightening of keratin fibers are removed. As a result, individual's hairs are kept in curled state for prolonged time and, besides, hairs become soft and smooth. EFFECT: increased efficiency and improved qualities of hairs. 14 cl
