Abstract: The invention provides a hair treatment composition such as a shampoo or conditioner comprising a disaccharide, alkali metal salt and a di-acid or salt thereof. Use of said composition for smoothing and aligning hair, for preventive damage to the hair.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous cleansing composition which comprises a combination of short and long chain anionic surfactants that provide mild cleansing and good lathering.

Abstract: The invention provides hair styling compositions, for example creams, gels and especially aerosol hair styling mousses. The compositions contain a cross-linked silicone, such as an emulsion of cross-linked dimethiconol gum, and a cationic hair styling polymer having a cationic charge density of at least 1 meq/g. The compositions provide excellent styling as well as sensory feel.

Abstract: The invention provides an aqueous hair styling aid comprising a volatile silicone selected from cyclic silicones having the general formula (I): [(CH3)2Si—O—]n  (I) wherein n=3-7, and short chain linear silicones having the general formula (II): (CH3)3Si—O—[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3  (II) wherein n=1-7; together with hairstyling polymer, surfactant and at least 5% water.
