Abstract: The present disclosure relates to leave-on hair styling compositions, and to methods for styling hair using the compositions. The leave-on hair styling compositions include: (a) pullulan; (b) one or more cellulose ethers; (c) one or more water-soluble solvents; and (d) water. The leave-on hair styling compositions are unique in that they impart durable styling or shaping benefits, volume and fullness, smoothness, shine, texture, control fizziness, and provide overnight style, without the need for silicones and/or synthetic film forming polymers.

Abstract: Provided are compositions suitable as hair styling compositions. Said compositions may comprise (a) at least one salt selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride, calcium phosphate and combinations thereof; and (b) at least one polyglyceryl ester having a structure represented by: wherein: R1 and R2 are each independently an alkenyl group having 9-21 carbon atoms and at least one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond, G is CH2—CH(OH)—CH2O, and n ranges from 1 to 15. Also provided are kits and methods of using said compositions.

Abstract: The instant disclosure relates to solid hair-styling compositions that have a unique physical appearance and provide desirable styling benefits to the hair. The solid hair-styling compositions are in the form of translucent, rock candy-like (or glass-like) crystals, which are visually striking. Major components of the solid hair-styling compositions include polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyquaternium-28. The amount of water in the compositions, if present, is kept at a minimum to ensure crystallinity. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the solid hair-styling compositions provide a variety of hair-styling benefits such as hold, shine, and conditioning to hair.

Abstract: Aqueous liquid compositions are provided, which comprise nonionic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or combinations thereof, and which are free of or substantially free of salt-forming groups. The aqueous liquids form solid, flexible films after direct application to skin, and the films may be peeled from the skin to remove adhered keratotic plugs from pores of the skin. The compositions are easily applied to skin, without dripping, with fingers, a brush, or other applicators.
