     EXAMPLES OF PREPARATION 
     Example 1 
     Preparation of (3-benzylthio-2-hydroxy propyl) diethylamine hydrochloride. 
     6.20 g of benzylmercaptan and 2g of NaOH are stirred together in 25 cc of water, under a nitrogen atmosphere, for 5 minutes at which time there is added thereto a solution of 8.28 g of 1,1-diethyl-3-hydroxy azetidinium chloride in 25 cc of ethyl alcohol. The resulting mixture is heated for 1 hour at 75°C. After evaporating to dryness the product thus obtained is taken up in ether.

     In the second stage (a neutralization stage) the following composition, packaged in two parts, is utilized: 
     
         1st part                                                                  
H.sub.2 O.sub.2, q.s.p.

Water, q.s.p.        100 g                                                
2nd part                                                                  
N-(3-benzylthio-2-hydroxy propyl)

hydrochloride        1.5 g                                                
 
    
     Immediately before carrying out the second stage of the permanent waving operation, i.e. before the neutralization stage, the N-(3-benzylthio-2-hydroxy propyl)bis-(2-hydroxy ethyl)amine hydrochloride, in the form of a powder, is dissolved in the H 2  O 2  solution of the 1st part defined above. The resulting mixture is then applied to the hair which had previously been reduced and rolled upon curlers for a time sufficient to reform the disulfide links of the keratin of the hair. 
     After having rinsed the hair, removed the rollers and dried in hair, there is thus obtained a permanent wave exhibiting very good holding characteristics. Further the thus treated hair has a very good non-greasy appearance.
