Abstract
This invention details the use of a simple blend of polyvinyl formamide and one or more polyvinyl alcohols as the fixative polymer system in a clear hair gel composition. The interaction of the polymer system and gelling agents provides clarity of less than 20 NTU and other physical properties such as good curl compression, resistance to high humidity and resistance to flaking.
Claims26
A clear hair gel composition comprising a gelling agent and a polymeric fixative, wherein said polymer fixative comprises a blend of at least one polyvinyl formamide, and at least one polyvinyl alcohol wherein the ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the polyvinyl formamide is from 4:1 to 1:4.
A clear hair gel composition comprising:
- a polymer fixative system and an acrylate cross-linked gelling agent,
- said polymer fixative system comprising:
- a blend of at least one polyvinyl formamide and at least one polyvinyl alcohol,
- wherein the ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the polyvinyl formamide is from 4:1 to 1:4.
A polymeric hair fixative system comprising a blend of at least one polyvinyl formamide, and at least one polyvinyl alcohol.
