Abstract: The present invention relates to aerosol foam composition for styling and conditioning keratin fibres especially human hair. The composition improves hair styling with excellent hold and especially conditions hair with excellent shine, combability, volume and body and also excellent elasticity. The inventors of the present invention have found out surprisingly that an aqueous composition based on at least one hair styling polymer selected from anionic, non-ionic, cationic and/or amphoteric or zwitterionic ones which additionally comprises at least one oil or oily compound, at least one fatty acid soap, at least one emulsifier and at least one propellant shows excellent styling and conditioning benefits and has an appearance like a whipped cream which has not been know in cosmetic market prior to present invention.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a hair styling composition for keratin fibres especially for hair. The object of the present invention is an aerosol composition for keratin fibres especially for hair based on an aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic or alcoholic medium comprising at least one natural starch and at least one propellant. Compositions according to present invention can furthermore comprise at least one film forming polymer, one or more surfactant, UV filter and direct hair dye.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a sprayable aerosol foam styling composition. The present invention aims at developing a foaming spray styling product with excellent volume up effect and with quick breaking foam, which makes partial application especially at hair root area possible. Furthermore the objective of the present invention is as well to develop sprayable foaming hair styling composition, which does not make hair extremely rough and hard and therefore easy to work out into hair during styling. The inventors have surprisingly found out that an organic solvent free (other than propellants) hair styling composition comprising at least one amphoteric polymer and at least one non-ionic polymer pressurised with a propellant combination of C2-C4 alkanes or halogenated alkanes and dimethylether shows excellent volume up effect.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a hair treatment composition in the form of an emulsion, preferably of a micro emulsion, which improves hair quality in terms of softness, shine and touch feeling. Emulsion type of hair treatment composition is characterized in that it comprises in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium a—one or more surfactants as emulsifier, b—one or more natural and/or mineral oil, c—one or more silicone oil, and d—at least one polyethyleneglycol with a molecular weight of more than 10,000.

Abstract: Organopolysiloxanes composed of an organopolysiloxane segment and a poly(N-acylalkyleneimine) segment which is bonded to at least one silicone atom of said organopolysiloxane segment via an alkylene group containing heteroatom(s) and which consists of repeating units represented by formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and n is a number of 2 or 3;wherein the weight ratio of the organopolysiloxane segment (a) to the poly(N-acylalkyleneimine) segment (b) [(a)/(b)] is at least 5/95 and less than 40/60, and the weight-average molecular weight is from 10,000 to 500,000.These organopolysiloxanes are soluble or dispersible in water and can form a film with an excellent texture. Thus, they can be appropriately employed as additives for cosmetic products.

Abstract: The invention refers to a hair spray containing a low proportion of volatile compounds and having improved spraying and setting properties comprisinga) about 5% to about 50% of at least one lower alcohol selected from the group of ethanol, n-propanol and (or) isopropyl alcohol;b) about 15% to about 70% by wt. water;c) about 1% to about 15% by wt. of at least one film-forming polymer;d) about 0.1% to about 3% by wt. of a water-dispersible silicone wax of the general formula I, ##STR1## wherein n and m may be identical or different and denote an integer between 10 and 20; which is either packede1) as an aerosol spray composition with dimethyl ether or a compressed gas selected from the group of di-nitrogen oxide, air, nitrogen and (or) carbon dioxide as propellent, ore2) as a manually operated pump spray.
