Abstract:
1. An aqueous hair setting composition comprising an effective hair setting amount of a rheology modifying hair setting associative polymer which is the polymerization product of a monomer mixture comprising: (a) about 10 to about 75 weight percent of at least one acidic vinyl monomer or a salt thereof; (b) about 10 to about 90 weight percent of at least one nonionic vinyl monomer; (c) about 0.1 to about 25 weight percent of a first associative monomer having a first hydrophobic end group; (d) about 0.1 to about 25 weight percent of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of a second associative monomer having a second hydrophobic end group, a semihydrophobic monomer, and a combination thereof; and, optionally, (e) up to about 20 weight percent of a monomer selected from the group consisting of a crosslinking monomer, a chain transfer agent, and a combination thereof: wherein the associative polymer is substantially the sole hair setting agent in the composition.
