Abstract
A process for imparting curl retention onto hair involving (a) forming a hair fixative, said hair fixative containing: (i) an alkyl polyglycoside having general formula I: R1O(R2O)b(Z)a I wherein R1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; R2 is divalent alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms; Z is a saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms; b is a number having a value from 0 to about 12; a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6; and (ii) a solvent; and (b) applying said hair fixative onto said hair.

A process for imparting curl retention onto hair comprising:
- (a) forming a hair fixative, said hair fixative consisting essentially of:
- (i) an alkyl polyglycoside having general formula I:
- R1O(R2O)b(Z)a I
- wherein R1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms;
- R2 is a divalent alkylene radical having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms;
- Z is a saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms;
- b is a number having a value from 0 to about 12;
- a is a number having a value from 1 to about 6;
- and
- (ii) a solvent;
- and
- (b) applying said hair fixative onto said hair.
A process for imparting curl retention onto hair comprising:
- (a) forming a hair fixative, said hair fixative consisting essentially of:
- (i) from about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside having general formula I:
- R1O(R2O)b(Z)a I
- wherein R1 is a monovalent organic radical having from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms;
- b is zero;
- Z is a saccharide residue having 5 or 6 carbon atoms;
- a is a number having a value 1.45;
- and
- (ii) from about 88 to about 98 percent by weight, of a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, a hydrocarbon, an alcohol, a polyol, and mixtures thereof, all weights being based on the weight of the hair fixative;
- and
- (b) applying said hair fixative onto said hair.
