Abstract: Provided is a hair-styling composition, which preferably includes polyvinylpyrrolidone, at least one additional film former, at least one thickener and water, wherein the composition is substantially free of carbomer, and when applied to human hair, exhibits at least about 80% curl retention after about 2 hours under conditions of about 85% relative humidity and about 75° F. Also provided is a method of styling keratinous fibers with the composition of the present invention and a method of controlling the frizz condition of keratinous fibers with the composition.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a personal care product comprising combining a fragrance, a propellant and porous carrier particles, to produce a composition substantially free of pre-encapsulated fragrance particles, and containing the composition in a pressurized container. Also provided is a personal care product comprising a pressurized container and a composition contained therein, which includes a fragrance, a propellant and porous carrier particles, wherein the composition is substantially free pre-encapsulated fragrance particles. When the composition is released from the container, the propellant evaporates rapidly to produce a matrix, which incorporates the fragrance into the pores of the carrier, to produce a sustained-release fragrance delivery system.
