Abstract
Hair conditioning compositions in the form of an emulsion comprising a volatile agent, a nonionic, water soluble thickening agent, a cationic hair conditioning agent and water.
Claims16
A hair conditioning composition in the form of an emulsion comprising:
- (A) from about 1% to about 13% of a volatile liquid hair conditioning agent having a boiling point in the range of from about 99.degree. C. to about 260.degree. C. and a solubility in water of less than about 0.1% selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons, silicones and mixtures thereof;
- (B) from about 0.1% to about 8% of a substantially nonionic, water soluble polymer having a viscosity in excess of about 200 poises at a shear of about 10.sup.-2 sec.sup.-1 while having a viscosity less than about 9 poises at a shear of about 500 sec.sup.-1 ;
- (C) from about 0.05% to about 4% of a cationic hair conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts or salts of fatty amines;
- and
- (D) water.

- (A) from about 1% to about 13% of a volatile liquid hair conditioning agent having a boiling point in the range of from about 99.degree. C. to about 260.degree. C. and a solubility in water of less than about 0.1% selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons, silicones and mixtures thereof;
- (B) from about 0.1% to about 8% of a substantially nonionic, water soluble polymer having a viscosity in excess of about 200 poises at a shear of about 10.sup.-2 sec.sup.-1 while having a viscosity less than about 9 poises at a shear of about 500 sec.sup.-1 ;
- (C) from about 0.05% to about 4% of a cationic hair conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts or salts of fatty amines;
- and
- (D) water
- to freshly shampooed hair;
- and
- II. rinsing the composition from the hair.
