Abstract

Hair treatment compositions and methods for using them are described. The hair treatment compositions include: (a) one or more fatty alcohols; (b) one or more liquid alkane oils; (c) a combination of cationic surfactants comprising one or more mono-alkyl cationic surfactants and one or more di-alkyl cationic surfactants; (d) a combination of silicone oils comprising one or more non-volatile dimethicone oils and one or more non-piperidinyl amino silicones; and (e) water. The hair treatment compositions are useful for treating hair, in particular, for improving the smoothness, alignment, shine, and moisturization of hair.

and
(c)(ii) about 0.1 to about 6 wt. % of one or more di-alkyl cationic surfactants;
wherein the one or more mono-alkyl cationic surfactants of (c)(i) and the one or more di-alkyl cationic surfactants of (c)(ii) are in a weight ratio of about 10:1 to about 1:1 ((c)(i):(c)(ii));
(d) about 1 to about 10 wt. % of a combination of silicone oils comprising:
(d)(i) about 0.5 to about 20 wt. %, of one or more non-volatile dimethicone oils;
