Claims17
A hair conditioning composition comprising:
- (1) a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv);
- (i) an acrylic acid/alkyl acrylate copolymer having the following formula:
- 37
- wherein R51, independently, is a hydrogen or an alkyl of 1 to 30 carbons wherein at least one of R51 is a hydrogen, R52 is as defined above, n, n′, m and m′ are integers in which n+n′+m+m′ is from about 40 to about 100, n″ is an integer of from 1 to about 30, and l is defined so that the copolymer has a molecular weight of about 500,000 to about 3,000,000;
- (ii) an acrylates copolymer comprising by weight:
- (a) from about 5% to about 80% of an acrylate monomer selected from the group consisting of a C1-C6 alkyl ester of acrylic acid, a C1-C6 alkyl ester of methacrylic acid, and mixtures thereof;
- (b) from about 5% to about 80% of a monomer selected from the group consisting of a vinyl-substituted heterocyclic compound containing at least one of a nitrogen or sulfur atom, a (meth)acrylamide, a mono- or di-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C4)alkyl(meth)acrylate, a mono- or di-(C1-C4)alkylamino(C1-C4)alkyl(meth)acrylamide, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- (c) from 0% to about 30% of an associative monomer;
- (iii) a crosslinked polymer having the formula (A)m(B)n(C)p, wherein:
- (A) is selected from the group consisting of a dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate, a quaternized dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate, an acid addition salt of a quaternized dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate, and mixtures thereof;
- (B) is selected from the group consisting of a dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate, a quaternized dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate, an acid addition salt of a quaternized dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof;
- (C) is a nonionic monomer polymerizable with (A) or (B);
- and m, n, and p are independently zero or greater, but at least one of m or n is one or greater;
- and
- (iv) mixtures thereof;
- (2) a frizz control agent selected from the group consisting of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v):
- (i) PEG-modified glycerides having the structure:
- 38
- wherein one or more of the R groups is selected from saturated or unsaturated fatty acid moieties derived from animal or vegetable oils wherein the fatty acid moieties have a carbon length chain of from 12 and 22, any other R groups are hydrogen, x, y, z are independently zero or more, the average sum of x+y+z is equal to from about 10 to about 45;
- (ii) PEG-modified glyceryl fatty acid esters having the structure:
- 39
- wherein R is an aliphatic group having from 12 to 22 carbon chain length, and n has an average value of from 5 to 40;
- (iii) dimethicone copolyols having the structure:
- 40
- wherein x is an integer from 1 to 2000, y is an integer from 1 to 1000, a is zero or greater, b is zero or greater, the sum of a+b is at least 1, and having an HLB value of about 20 or less;
- (iv) dimethicone copolyols having the structure:
- 41
- wherein R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and combinations thereof, m is an integer from 1 to 2000, x is independently zero or greater, y is independently zero or greater, wherein the dimethicone copolyol has at least one ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide, and has an HLB value of about 20 or less;
- (v) mixtures thereof;
- and
