Abstract:
A hairspray composition comprising in addition to at least 5% by weight water:a) from 0.5% to 10% by weight of a hairspray resin;b) from 0 to 50% by weight of an aerosol propellant; andc) from 0.05% to 2% by weight of an autophobic hairspray surfactant or polymer, which is a surfactant or polymer which exhibits autophobic behaviour in conjunction with at least 0.5% water, and which is selected from the group consisting of:(i) dimethicone copolyols of formula (I): ##STR6##where n is an integer chosen to give the copolyol a molecular weight of at least 600;x and x' are integers of from 1 to 12;a, a', b, b' are integers of from 0 to 50, and R is hydrogen or a C1-4 alkyl radical; and(ii) polydimethicone copolyols of formula (II): ##STR7##where x and n are integers chosen to give the copolyol a molecular weight of at least 500;y is an integer of from 1 to 12, anda and b are integers of from 0 to 50.
