Abstract:
A hair treatment composition comprising:i) at least one water soluble or dispersible hairsetting polymer (A) selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyesters, polyamides, poly(amide)esters, and homopolymers and copolymers of monoolefinically unsaturated monomers, wherein these polymers have ionogenic and/or ionic groups attached to the polymer chain, and ii) a water soluble or dispersible (poly)siloxane-containing salt (B) of the formula I [A(X)n]nâˆ’. (n/m)[HmB]m+â€ƒâ€ƒ(I) wherein[A(X)n]nâˆ’ is the anion of a siloxane-containing acid, where X is a carboxylate or sulfonate group, and n is the valency of the (poly)siloxane-containing acid; B is a cosmetically acceptable amine base; m is the valency of the amine B; wherein the weight ratio of the hairsetting polymer (A) to the (poly)siloxane-containing salt (B) is from 1:0.01 to 1:0.5, and wherein the (poly)siloxane-containing acid is selected froma) polycondensates which in addition to polysiloxane moieties comprise moieties selected from the group consisting of polyurethane and polyurea moieties, the polyurethane moieties and polyurea moieties comprising carboxylic and/or sulfonic groups, (b) dibasic acids of the formula (VII) whereinR5 is C2-C4 alkylene, n1+n2 is 0 to 20, and where m is 1 to 6 and n is 1 to 50, and(c) siloxane-containing, polybasic acids of the formula (VIII) whereinR6 is H or C1-C6 alkyl, p is 1 to 100, and G is the tetravalent rest of a dianhydride of the formula selected from the group consisting of wherein R3 is C1-C6 alkylene.
