1. A process for permanent reshaping keratin fibers comprising:
(i) applying onto the keratin fibers a composition comprising magnesium gluconate in an amount ranging from 0.01% to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the composition has a pH ranging from 8.0 to 12.0;
(ii) heating the keratin fibers after applying the composition onto the keratin fibers at a temperature ranging from 70° C. to 180° C.; and
(iii) rinsing the keratin fibers,
wherein the process does not reduce or oxidize the keratin fibers.
