Abstract: A cosmetic composition and a method temporarily shaping keratinic fiber including the same are provided herein. In one embodiment, the cosmetic composition includes at least one vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer. The cosmetic composition further includes at least one crosslinked acrylate copolymer. In another embodiment, the method includes providing a cosmetic composition. The method further includes applying the cosmetic composition to keratinic fiber.

Abstract: Cosmetic composition having a heating effect and used for the care and temporary shaping of keratin fibers and related methods are provided. The cosmetic composition can include at least one polyethylene glycol comprising 4 to 20 oxyethylene units; a copolymer composed of hydrogenated castor oil and an n-alkyl dicarboxylic acid comprising 4 to 10 C atoms; and at least one film-forming agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for fixing hair or for temporarily shaping keratinous fibers, in particular, human hair, with which composition an excellent resistance to humidity is achieved, wherein the composition includes a combination of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyurethene-polyacrylate hybrid polymer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic agents for temporarily deforming keratinous fibers comprising—relative to the total weight thereof—a) 0.1 to 2.0 w % of at least one hydrophobically modified (meth) acrylic acid copolymer and b) 0.2 to 12 wt % of at least one polymeric quaternary ammonium compound from the group of vinylpyrrolidone copolymers, to the use thereof, and to methods using said agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to cosmetic products for temporarily shaping keratin fibers, including, relative to the total weight of the product, a) 0.5 to 3.0 wt.-% of at least one hydrophobically modified (meth)acrylic acid copolymer; and b) 0.5 to 5.0 wt.-% of at least one copolymer which is different from copolymer a) and which is obtained by reacting at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer unit (b1) with at least one saccharide monomer unit (b2), and to the use thereof and to a method for using said products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the temporary shaping of hair, which includes a combination of two specific anionic acrylate resins. The cosmetic composition provides a very good combination of stiffness and long-lasting hold.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the temporary shaping of hair, including a combination of the two specific (co)polymers. Said cosmetic preparation provides an extremely good combination of stiffness and long-term hold.

Abstract: The invention relates to styling agents, comprising—with respect to the weight thereof—0.1 to 20 wt % of strengthening polymer(s) and 0.1 to 5 wt % of esters of the formula (I), in which R1 stands for —H or CH3, R2 stands for a straight-chain or branched alkyl group having 7 to 15 carbon atoms, and n stands for an integer from the group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Said styling agents effect significantly improved curl retention, in particular significantly improved high-humidity curl retention, thus a higher degree of curl retention even in a humid environment in addition to further improved hold and improved hair feel, such as texture and combability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the temporary shaping of keratin-containing fibers, including (a) at least one emulsifier (a) from the group of the ethoxylated unsaturated C16-C18 fatty alcohols with an average degree of ethoxylation between 4 and 6; (b) at least one emulsifier (b) from the group of ethoxylated saturated C16-C18 fatty alcohols with an average degree of ethoxylation between 12 and 30, characterized in that the weight ratio of emulsifier (a) to emulsifier (b) ranges from 2:1 to 1:5, preferably from 1:1 to 1:2, and particularly suitable for the temporary shaping of keratin-containing fibers, particularly human hair.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic composition for the temporary shaping of keratin-containing fibers, including (a) 4.0-17% by weight of at least one emulsifier (a) from the group of the ethoxylated unsaturated C16-C18 fatty alcohols with an average degree of ethoxylation between 4 and 6; (b) 6.0-24% by weight of at least one emulsifier (b) from the group of ethoxylated saturated C16-C18 fatty alcohols with an average degree of ethoxylation between 12 and 30; (c) 6.0-30% by weight glycol. The composition is particularly suitable for the temporary shaping of keratin-containing fibers, particularly human hair.

Abstract: A styling agent in a cosmetically acceptable carrier includes, based in each case on its weight: 0.01 to 3 wt % of at least one copolymer A as defined herein, and 0.05 to 10 wt %, by preference 0.1 to 7.5 wt %, more preferably 0.25 to 6 wt %, and in particular 0.5 to 5 wt % of at least one film-forming polymer, and 0.5 to 30 wt %, by preference 1 to 25 wt %, more preferably 2.5 to 20 wt %, and in particular 5 to 15 wt % of at least one wax having a melting point in a range from 40° C. to 90° C. The agent has a high degree of hold and a pleasant care-providing feel, and is not heavy.
