Abstract: A hair coloring composition that includes about 5 to 25 wt. % of a first monosaccharide having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, up to about 10 wt. % of a second monosaccharide having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, about 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a surfactant, and about 0.1 to 5 wt. % of a delivery agent, each based on a total weight of the hair coloring composition. A method for coloring hair, that involves applying the hair coloring composition onto the hair, and optionally applying heat to the hair at a dyeing temperature of 30 to 205° C.

Abstract: A hair care composition having a combination of a mixture of alkyl amine cationic surfactants, high melting point wax to provide a hydrophobic film (frizz resistance) and thermo-pliable film (heat styling response), along with a lightweight conditioner, to produce a hair care composition that is far less susceptible to buildup than traditional products currently marketed.

Abstract: A hair conditioner which provides hair conditioning, de-tangling, frizz control and reduced flyaway benefits, without weighing down hair or loosing hair volume, in a clear composition, is disclosed. The composition utilizes a combination of high levels of PEG/PPG silicone surfactants together with cationic polymeric thickeners (such as polyquaternium-37) to provide those benefits.

Abstract: The present application discloses hair conditioning compositions which provide effective hair conditioning, particularly to wavy or curly hair, the conditioning benefit lasting in the hair over several (up to 10) subsequent shampooings. The compositions comprise a film-forming polyester that is the reaction product of at least one diol, at least one polyol, and at least one dicarboxylic acid; polyquaternium-52 and/or polyquaternium-37; and at least one amino or aminopropyl-functional silicone, in an aqueous vehicle. The composition may additionally include dimethicone and/or a branched-chain ester. The method of conditioning hair using the defined compositions is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hair treatment agent containing the following components (A) to (D) and water: (A) succinic acid or a salt thereof: 0.1 mass % or more and 2 mass % or less in terms of succinic acid; (B) erythritol: 0.5 mass % or more and 15 mass % or less; (C) at least one aromatic alcohol selected from the group consisting of benzyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol and benzyloxyethanol; and (D) at least one of polyoxyalkylene glycol with an alkylene group having 2 or 3 carbon atoms: 0.01 mass % or more and 5 mass % or less, in which the mass ratio of component (C) to component (D), (C)/(D), is 0.1 or more and 20 or less.

Abstract: The present application discloses hair care compositions which both clean and condition hair. The compositions comprise a defined amidoamine material, a long chain fatty alcohol, a nonionic amide surfactant as defined herein, and water as the solvent. The composition may additionally include an oil which is liquid at room temperature. The method of cleaning and conditioning hair using the defined composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Rinse-off of the volumizing compositions, having an acidic pH, and in the form of a lotion, gel or cream are disclosed. The compositions include one or more linear hairstyling polymers which exhibit polar behavior in acidic pH, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, together with a selected group of polycationic hairstyling polymers, such as polyquaternium-37. The compositions not only provide a strong hair volumizing effect, but that effect is durable, being retained after two or more shampooing operations of the hair. The compositions are used by applying an effective amount to wet hair, leaving the composition for at least about three minutes, and rinsing the composition out of the hair.

Abstract: Wash-out hair treatment compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprise a cosmetically-acceptable suspending agent (such as xanthan gum), a cosmetically-acceptable organic acid (such as succinic acid or gluconic acid), silicone having amino, aminopropyl and/or quaternary ammonium functional groups (such as bis-cetearyl amodimethicone), and a hair care carrier; the pH of the compositions being within about 0.75 pH units of the pKa1 of the selected organic acid or mixtures of organic acids. The method of using the defined compositions to provide hair care benefits which can last through several shampoos is also disclosed.
