                Appeal No.  2002-1559                                                Page 13                  
                Application No.  09/282,708                                                                   

                      Appellants argue that Hawley “comes no closer to suggesting the claimed                 
                hair treatment compositions,” and that the rejection should be withdrawn for the              
                same reasons already discussed.                                                               
                      Appellant’s arguments are not found to be convincing for the reasons                    
                given above with respect to the rejections of claims 1-5, 9, 10, 12 and 14.                   
                Therefore, the rejection is affirmed.
