Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions comprising (a) at least one polyol with a heterocyclic moiety; (b) at least one nonionic polysaccharide thickening agent; (c) at least one linear or branched C3-C8 polyol chosen from diols and triols; (d) at least one cationic surfactant; (e) at least one emulsifier chosen from fatty alcohols, esters, or combinations thereof; and (f) optionally, at least one vegetable oil. The compositions can be used as leave-in compositions for elongation of hair curls. The disclosure also relates to kits comprising the compositions and methods of using the compositions.

Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to hair cosmetic compositions that include a unique combination of components that function to impart desirable cosmetic properties to hair, in particular, curly hair. The hair cosmetic compositions typically include a nonionic guar gum; a gum selected from xanthan gum and sclerotium gum, a fatty alcohol, esters selected from glyceryl ester and a second ester, plant- or vegetable-based fatty component comprising coconut oil and shea butter, and water.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to hair styling and/or shaping compositions having a unique transformative nature that allows the composition to change from a gel to a foam when a shear stress is applied to the gel. The disclosure also relates to packaging systems comprising the compositions, and methods of using the compositions.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions for treating, caring for, and/or conditioning keratinous substrates, the compositions comprising (a) at least one vegetable oil; (b) at least one fatty alcohol; (c) at least one cationic conditioning agent; and (d) at least one propellant, as well as systems and kits comprising the compositions, and methods of using the compositions.

Abstract: Hair styling compositions including about 5 wt. % or more of hydrogenated starch hydrolysate; about 3 wt. % or more of polyol, wherein a weight ratio of the total amount of hydrogenated starch hydrolysate to the total amount of polyol is from 1:1 to 10:1; about 1 to about 10 wt. % of a plant or vegetable based oil, wherein the plant or vegetable based oil comprise shea butter, castor oil, or a combination thereof; about 0.1 to about 7 wt. % of a cationic surfactant; about 0.5 to about 10 wt. % of emulsifiers are chosen from a glyceryl ester, a fatty alcohol, and a combination thereof; and water, wherein all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the hair styling composition. Methods for styling hair using the hair styling compositions are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to leave-on hair styling compositions comprising: (a) calcium carbonate: (b) one or more sugar alcohols; (c) one or more thickening polymers; and (d) water. The leave-on hair styling compositions do not require synthetic film-forming polymers nor do they require silicones. The leave-on hair styling compositions are particularly useful in methods for imparting durable styling or shaping benefits, providing volume and fullness, and imparting frizz control to hair.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to leave-on hair styling compositions comprising: (a) one or more guar compounds: (b) one or more cellulose compounds; (c) one or more glycerol esters of fatty acids; and (d) water. The leave-on hair styling compositions do not require synthetic film-forming polymers nor do they require silicones. The leave-on hair styling compositions are particularly useful in methods for imparting durable styling or shaping benefits and/or frizz control to hair.
