Abstract: A method directed to a hair soaking treatment for frizz reduction comprising immersion of consumer hair into an aqueous composition is disclosed. The corresponding composition comprises from about 0.25% to 20% of a moisture control material or mixture of moisture control materials wherein the moisture control material has structure selected from the group A) wherein R is hydrogen or metal ion, R6 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, alkenyl or phenyl having less than 12 carbon atoms and wherein R7, R8, R9, R10, R11, R12 are hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, hydroxyl, methoxy or ethoxy groups; B) an alcohol wherein R13 is an alkyl, alkenyl, straight or branched carbon chains and; and wherein R14 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, methyl, ethyl and propyl wherein the structure of such alcohol contains less than 20 total carbon atoms; C) alcohol comprising an unsaturated double bond in the C2 position.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a hair conditioner composition comprising a) from about 0.15% to about 16% moisture control material or mixtures of moisture control materials wherein one or more moisture control material is selected from the group containing: i. Class I Moisture Control Material having the structure selected from: wherein R? is —COOY, sulfonic acid, or —C?CH—COOY, Y is hydrogen or a metal ion, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, vinyl, allyl, methoxy, ethoxy, hydroxyl, halogen, sulfate, sulfonate, nitro, or —CH?CH—COOR, and wherein the moisture control material is an acidic material and further wherein the moisture control material has a % Protein binding higher than 20 and Molecular Volume lower than 500 and Partition coefficient octanol to water (log P) lower than 3 and hydrogen binding higher than 10 and pKa lower than 5.0; ii.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of detecting stray fibers emanating from a substrate comprising: a) Taking an image or a series of consecutive images of stray fibers in front of a contrasted background, that is created using one or more light sources, using a digital device; b) Segmenting of stray fibers and background from objects not directly contrasted against the background resulting in a binary image mask; c) Applying an edge detection technique to the image or modification of original image to enhance contrast of stray fibers against the background; and Applying the binary image mask from step b) to an image created in step c) to create an image in which only the stray fibers and/or outline of any other object contrasted against the background are present.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of treating the hair, the method comprising: a) applying to the hair a shampoo composition comprising a detersive surfactant, wherein the shampoo composition is substantially free of silicone conditioning agents and/or cationic conditioning polymers; b) rinsing the shampoo composition from the hair; c) applying to the hair a conditioning composition comprising a silicone resin and an aminosilicone, wherein the aminosilicone has non-quaternized and/or quaternary amine functional groups. The present invention provides improved conditioning benefits such as hair manageability and/or reduced frizziness/friction.
