Abstract:
A hair care composition which comprises (a) one or more polymer systems in the form of discrete polymers of cross-linked polydimethyl siloxane, wherein said polymers have absorbed one or more compatible non-aqueous solvents into their structure so as to increase their volumes, and (b) water or hydroalcoholic solution carrier; and wherein said cross-linked polydimethyl siloxanes have as a cross-linker an alpha, omega, aliphatic diene of the following structure:CH2&boxH;CH(CH2)xCH&boxH;CH2, wherein x ranges from 1-20; and wherein said non-aqueous solvent is a linear or cyclic polydimethyl siloxane having a viscosity of about 0.5 to about 50 centistokes or mixtures thereof.
