Abstract: A method for forming a large particle complex comprising the steps of combining a hydrolyzed corn starch polymer, a starch/cellulose polymer, a hydrogenated phospholipid, and gum arabic in a cosmetically acceptable carrier to form a premix composition; heating said premix to about 85° C. for about 15 minutes; and cooling the composition to room temperature. The particle complex is useful as a component of a sprayable composition which provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning as a leave-on treatment for human hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair straightening composition comprising at least one emulsifying silicone elastomer, at least one naturally derived deposition polymer, at least one silicone conditioning agent, and an aqueous carrier.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for straightening hair comprising applying an effective amount of a hair straightening composition to hair, the composition comprising at least one emulsifying silicone elastomer, at least one naturally derived deposition polymer; at least one silicone conditioning agent, and an aqueous carrier, wherein said composition is not rinsed from the hair.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a personal care composition comprising: a personal care composition comprising a particle complex consisting of a hydrolyzed corn starch, a starch/cellulose polymer, a hydrogenated phospholipid, and gum arabic; and an aqueous carrier. The personal care composition is suitable for delivery as a sprayable composition which provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning as a leave-on treatment. The present invention is also directed to a method for forming a particle complex wherein the complex provides volumizing, hair fixing, and conditioning benefits when applied to hair.

Abstract: A method for reducing the appearance of thinning hair comprising the successive steps of: a) treating hair with an exfoliating shampoo composition comprising at least one chemical exfoliant; b) treating hair with a conditioner comprising at least one natural conditioning polymer and at least one natural stimulant; c) treating hair with a scalp serum comprising at least one natural extract, and salicylic acid.
