Abstract:
A hair styling composition, comprising:a.) from greater than 0.5% to about 5% by weight of the composition of a friction enhancing agent which is a water soluble, non-polymeric mineral salt;b.) from about 0.05% to about 0.5% of by weight of the composition of a lipophilic material;c.) from about 0.01% to about 0.5% by weight of the composition of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, anionic, nonionic and mixtures thereof wherein the nonionic surfactant has a formula selected from the group consisting of: ##STR8## R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 Z.fwdarw.Oand mixtures thereof where R is a long chain alkyl group or mixer of alkyl groups containing 10-24 carbon atoms; X is a phenyl, ##STR9##sulfur or nil; Y is a hydrogen or methyl; and n is an integer from 1 to 20, preferably from 2 to 15, and most preferably from 2 to 10; when X is nil, R is bonded directly to ##STR10##and wherein R.sub.1 contains an alkyl, alkenyl or monohydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties, and from 0 to about 1 glyceryl moiety, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 contain from about 1 to about 3 carbon atoms and from 0 to about 1 hydroxy group; and Z is a nitrogen, phosphorus or sulfur bonded directly to O;andd.) aqueous hair care carrierwherein the composition contains less than 0.01% cationic surfactant and wherein the composition contains less than about 0.2% by weight of the composition of a chemical protein modifying agent and wherein the composition contains less than 0.01% formate, sorbate, salicylate and carbonate and wherein the composition contains less than about 0.2% of a polymer having a solubility parameter of from about 8.5 to about 12.0 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 and wherein the composition has a hair friction index of at least 1.07.
