  • Publication number: 20170296451
    Abstract: A method for colouring hair. The method comprises the formation of a first plurality of coated hair fibre portions by applying a first composition to a first plurality of hair fibre portions and subsequently styling the hair. The first plurality of coated hair fibre portions is contacted with a second plurality of coated hair fibre portions but does not comprise the application of a solid barrier means in order to separate the first plurality of coated hair fibre portions from the second plurality of coated hair fibre portions. The composition comprises from about 0.2% to about 20% of viscosity-increasing agent and the viscosity-increasing agent is selected from the group consisting of: clays; polysaccharides; silicas; block copolymers of polypropylene oxide (PPO) and polyethylene oxide (PEO); and mixtures thereof. Also provided are a hair colouring composition being in ready to use form, the use of the composition, a developing formulation, and a process for creating a hair colouring composition.

  • Patent number: 9662291
    Abstract: A method of achieving improved hair feel. The method comprises applying to hair a composition comprising: (a) a specific cationic guar polymer; (b) a specific cationic copolymer; (c) an anti-dandruff active; (d) a cosmetically acceptable carrier; (e) a surfactant; wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) is from about 1000:1 to about 3.5:1; and wherein the sum of (a)+(b) is an amount of from about 0.0001% to about 0.7%, by total weight of the composition. The composition forms coacervate particles upon dilution of the composition with water and the coacervate particles have a squeeze flow viscosity of from about 1 cP to about 100 cP. The percentage of coacervate particles with a floc size of greater than about 20 micron is from about 1% to about 60% and the on-scalp deposition of the anti-dandruff active is at least about 1 microgram/cm2.

  • Patent number: 9404215
    Abstract: A stretch composite having one or more elastomeric members disposed on at least one region of an extensible fibrous substrate to provide stretch properties to a targeted region of the substrate. The composite has been incrementally stretched to at least partially break up the structure of the substrate in order to reduce its resistance to stretch. The stretch composites are useful for disposable and durable articles, such as disposable absorbent articles including diapers, pull-on diapers, training pants, incontinence briefs, catamenial garments, baby bibs, and the like, and durable articles like garments including sportswear, outerwear and the like. Also disclosed are methods of forming such stretch composites.
