Abstract: To provide means for improving tactile sensation of hair during application of a hair cosmetic composition, particularly a hair conditioner or a hair rinse, after washing of the hair. The present inventors have found that the object can be attained by a hair cosmetic composition containing the following ingredients (1) to (5): (1) a tertiary amine compound represented by formula (I) in an amount of 0.01 to 10 mass % with respect to the hair cosmetic composition: wherein R1 represents a C6 to C24 linear or branched alkyl group, A represents an amido or ether group, R2 represents a C2 to C4 alkylene group, or a C2 to C4 linear or branched hydroxyalkylene or hydroxyalkylenyl group, and R3 and R4, which are identical to or different from each other, each represent a hydrogen atom or a C1 to C3 linear or branched alkyl group; (2) a higher alcohol and/or a higher fatty acid in an amount of 0.

Abstract: To provide means for improving sensation of hair in application of a hair cosmetic composition, particularly a hair conditioner, after washing of the hair. The present inventors have found that the object can be attained by a hair cosmetic composition containing the following ingredients (1) to (4): (1) a hydroxyetheramine compound represented by formula (I) in an amount of 0.01 to 10 mass % with respect to the hair cosmetic composition: wherein R1 represents a C6 to C24 linear or branched alkyl group or alkenyl group, R2 represents a C2 to C6 linear or branched hydroxyalkylene or hydroxyalkylenyl group, and R3 and R4, which are identical to or different from each other, each represent a hydrogen atom or a C1 to C6 linear alkyl group; (2) a higher alcohol and/or a higher fatty acid in an amount of 0.1 to 20 mass % with respect to the hair cosmetic composition; (3) an organic acid having an aromatic ring skeleton; and (4) water.

Abstract: The invention provides a hair shape-controlling composition which has excellent applicability to hair, which causes less damage to permanent-waved hair or straightened hair, which can provide treated hair with an excellent texture as expected, and which does not impede a glossy appearance of treated hair. The hair shape-controlling composition including a first component containing a reducing agent and an alkaline agent, and a second component containing an oxidizing agent is provided by containing a specific hydroxy-ether-amine compound or a specific quaternary ammonium salt.
