Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to solid hair-styling compositions that have a unique physical appearance and provide desirable styling benefits to the hair. The solid hair-styling compositions are in the form of translucent, rock candy-like (or glass-like) crystals, which are visually striking. Major components of the solid hair-styling compositions include polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyquaternium-28. The amount of water in the compositions, if present, is kept at a minimum to ensure crystallinity. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the solid hair-styling compositions provide a variety of hair-styling benefits such as hold, shine, and conditioning to hair.
