Abstract:
A composition for hair shaping and/or form retention of hair, comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable aqueous medium, at least one film-forming acrylic oligomer, which is soluble or dispersible in said aqueous medium, having a molecular weight of less than or equal to 50,000 and with a glass transition temperature Tg ranging from 0.degree. C. to 45.degree. C.,wherein said at least one film-forming acrylic oligomer comprises:a) at least one residue of monomer (A) selected from tert-butyl methacrylate, tert-butyl acrylate, and isobutyl methacrylate;b) at least one residue of monomer (B) with ethylenic unsaturation comprising at least one carboxylic acid functional group; andc) at least one residue of monomer (C) comprising a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl acrylate, said residues of monomers (A), (B) and (C) being present in an amount sufficient to produce an oligomer having a Tg temperature ranging from 0 to 45.degree. C.,wherein monomer (C) is not tert-butyl acrylate.
