Abstract:
1. A hair fixative composition comprising: a) a polygalactomannan having repeating units containing a D-mannosyl to D-galactosyl residue ratio of at least 5 to 1, said D-mannosyl and D-galactosyl residues having pendant hydroxyl groups, and wherein a portion of the hydrogen groups on the pendant hydroxy substituents on the mannosyl and galactosyl residues are substituted with a group represented by the formula: wherein A is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R 1 is a group independently —N(R 3 ) 3 + X − , —S(R 3 ) 2 + X − , and —P(R 3 ) 3 + X − ; wherein R 3 independently represents substituted and unsubstituted C 1 to C 24 alkyl, substituted and unsubstituted benzyl and substituted and unsubstituted phenyl; and X is any suitable anion that balances the charge on the onium cation; and b) guar gum; and c) polyacrylate-1 crosspolymer wherein the weight ratio of said polygalactomannan to said guar gum ranges from 1:5 to 5:1.
