Description: HAIR CONDITIONING COMPOSITION COMPRISING HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED CELLULOSE ETHER TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to hair conditioning composition comprising a hydrophobically modified cellulose ether. BACKGROUND Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and from the sebum secreted by the scalp. The soiling of hair causes it to have a dirty feel and an unattractive appearance. The soiling of the hair necessitates shampooing with frequent regularity. Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess soil and sebum. However, shampooing can leave the hair in a wet, tangled, and generally unmanageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left in a dry, rough, lusterless, or frizzy condition due to removal of the hair's natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing components. The hair can further be left with increased levels of static upon drying, which can interfere with combing and result in a condition commonly referred to as "fly-away hair", or contribute to an undesirable phenomena of "split ends", particularly for long hair. A variety of approaches have been developed to alleviate these after- shampoo problems. These approaches range from post-shampoo application of hair conditioners such as leave-on and rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos which attempt to both clean and condition the hair from a single product. Although some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo which includes conditioners, a substantial proportion of consumers prefer the more conventional conditioner formulations which are applied to the hair as a separate step from shampooing, usually subsequent to shampooing. Conditioning formulations can be in the form of rinse-off products or leave-on products, and can be in the form of an emulsion, cream, gel, spray, and mousse. Such consumers who prefer the conventional conditioner formulations value the relatively higher conditioning effect, or convenience of changing the amount of conditioning depending on the condition of hair or amount of hair. Some consumers with fine hair have a desire to volume-up their hair. The term "hair volume-up" as used herein is not equal to fly-away hair. Fly-away hair is due to the increased level of static, and represents volume increase of only very minor amount of the hair as a whole, and is not desirable. On the other hand, hair volume-up as used herein relates to increase of the bulk of the hair volume. Consumers having fine hair have the desire to achieve hair volume-up while controlling undesirable fly-away of the hair. Generally, hair conditioner products targeted for such consumers provided the volume-up or less volume- down benefit by decreasing the level of conditioning actives included in the composition. This is thought to be emerging from the concept that conditioning actives weigh down the hair. Consequently, hair conditioner products targeted for consumers which desire volume-up generally had only compromised conditioning benefits. Based on the foregoing, there remains a desire to provide hair conditioning compositions which provide hair volume-up while not compromising basic conditioning benefits such as soft, smooth, easy to comb, clean, draggy feel to the hair. United States Patents 5,100,658, 5,106,609, and 5,855,878 disclose the use of hydrophobically modified nonionic water-soluble polymers in hair conditioning compositions. It is disclosed in each reference that such composition provides effective delivery of an active cosmetic component to the hair or skin. European Patent Application EP-0,875,557-A discloses aqueous compositions of surfactant mixtures with hydrophobically-modified polymers; in particular, hydrophobically-modified polymeric rheology modifiers (thickeners) to provide enhanced thickening efficiency. European Patent Application EP- 0,786,249-A discloses a topical composition containing active cosmetic and/or dermatological agent including cetyl hydroxyethyl cellulose as gelling agent. Hair conditioning compositions containing hydrophobically modified cellulose polymers can become very viscous and provide negative performance to the feel of hair or manufacturing of the composition. Thus, there is also a desire to provide such hair conditioning compositions while maintaining acceptable rheology profiles to provide satisfactory spreadability on the hair, and so as to be made by a convenient manufacturing method. None of the existing art provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention. SUMMARY The present invention is directed to a hair conditioning composition comprising by weight: (a) from about 0.001 % to about 2% of a hydrophobically modified cellulose ether comprising a hydrophilic cellulose backbone and a hydrophobic substitution group; the hydrophilic cellulose backbone being water soluble and selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl ethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxybutyl cellulose, and mixtures thereof; and having grafted thereto the hydrophobic substitution group to render the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether to have less than 1 % water solubility, the hydrophobic substitution group selected from a straight or branched chain alkyl group of from about 10 to about 22 carbons; wherein the ratio of the hydrophilic groups in the hydrophilic cellulose backbone to the hydrophobic substitution group being from about 2:1 to about 1000:1 ; (b) from about 0.1 % to about 15% of a high melting point fatty compound having a melting point of 25°C or higher; (c) from about 0.1 % to about 10% of a cationic conditioning agent having saturated alkyl groups; and (d) an aqueous carrier. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION While the specification concludes with claims which particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description. All cited references are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. Citation of any reference is not an admission regarding any determination as to its availability as prior art to the claimed invention. Herein, "comprising" means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms "consisting of and "consisting essentially of. All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore, do not include carriers or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials. HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED CELLULOSE ETHER The composition of the present invention compπses by weight from about 0.001 % to about 2%, preferably from about 0.01 % to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.5%, of a hydrophobically modified cellulose ether. The hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers useful herein have been known in the art as hydrophilic thickeners to aqueous compositions. It has been surprisingly found that, when included in a gel matrix vehicle system at certain levels, the hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers provide increase in bulk hair volume. It has further been surprisingly found that cellulose ethers with no hydrophobic modifications, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, do not provide such increase in bulk hair volume. Without being bound by theory, it is believed this is due to the significant substantivity and controlled water solubility of the hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers herein. The hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers would deposit on the hair as discrete particles, thus enhance the inter fiber interactions and change its spatial orientation, and consequently provide more volume to the hair. The controlled level of hydrophobically modified cellulose ether also provides acceptable rheology profiles in the conditioning composition of this invention, so this composition provides satisfactory spreadability on the hair, and can be made by a convenient manufacturing method. The hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers useful herein comprise a hydrophilic cellulose backbone and a hydrophobic substitution group. The hydrophilic cellulose backbone has a sufficient degree of nonionic substitution to cellulose to be water soluble. Such hydrophilic cellulose backbone is selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl ethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxybutyl cellulose, and mixtures thereof. The amount of nonionic substitution is not critical, so long as there is an amount sufficient to assure that the hydrophilic cellulose backbone is water soluble. The hydrophilic cellulose backbone has a molecular weight of about less than 800,000, preferably from about 20,000 to about 700,000, or from about 75 D. P. to about 2500 D. P. Further, where a high viscosity building effect is not desirable, a lower molecular weight cellulose backbone is preferred. One of the preferred hydrophilic cellulose backbone is hydroxyethyl cellulose having a molecular weight of from about 50,000 to about 700,000. Hydroxyethyl cellulose of this molecular weight is known to be one of the most hydrophilic of the materials contemplated. Thus, hydroxyethyl cellulose can be modified to a greater extent than other hydrophilic cellulose backbones. The hydrophilic cellulose backbone is further substituted with a hydrophobic substitution group via an ether linkage to render the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether to have less than 1 % water solubility, preferably less than 0.2% water solubility. The hydrophobic substitution group is selected from a straight or branched chain alkyl group of from about 10 to about 22 carbons; wherein the ratio of the hydrophilic groups in the hydrophilic cellulose backbone to the hydrophobic substitution group being from about 2:1 to about 1000:1 , preferably from about 10:1 to about 100:1. Commercially available hydrophobically modified cellulose ethers useful herein include: cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose having tradenames NATROSOL PLUS 330CS and POLYSURF 67, both available from Aqualon Company, Del, USA, having cetyl group substitution of about 0.4% to about 0.65% by weight of the entire polymer.

The high melting point fatty compound useful herein have a melting point of 25°C or higher, and is selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty alcohol derivatives, fatty acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof. It is understood by the artisan that the compounds disclosed in this section of the specification can in some instances fall into more than one classification, e.g., some fatty alcohol derivatives can also be classified as fatty acid derivatives. However, a given classification is not intended to be a limitation on that particular compound, but is done so for convenience of classification and nomenclature. Further, it is understood by the artisan that, depending on the number and position of double bonds, and length and position of the branches, certain compounds having certain required carbon atoms may have a melting point of less than 25°C.

When included in the composition of the present invention in combination with the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether, polypropylene glycol may deliver flyaway hair control benefits without affecting the bulk hair volume. Accordingly, a highly preferred single-polypropylene glycol-chain segment polymer has the following formula: HO-(C 3 H 6 0) a H wherein a is a value from about 4 to about 400, preferably from about 20 to about 100, and more preferably from about 20 to about 40.

In Formula II, each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H, and C C 30 alkyl, and preferably each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H, and C C 4 alkyl. In Formula II, each b is independently a value from about 0 to about 2, preferably from about 0 to about 1 , and more preferably b = 0. Similarly, c and d are independently a value from about 0 to about 2, preferably from about 0 to about 1. However, the total of b + c + d is at least about 2, preferably the total of b + c + d is from about 2 to about 3.

RHEOLOGY MODIFIER The hair conditioning composition of the present invention may further comprise a rheology modifier. The rheology modifier may be any polymer which increases the rheology of the composition, and which are compatible with the other polymers included in the composition, and do not negatively affect the benefits provided by the composition.

The silicone compounds hereof can include volatile soluble or insoluble, or nonvolatile soluble or insoluble silicone conditioning agents. By soluble what is meant is that the silicone compound is miscible with the carrier of the composition so as to form part of the same phase. By insoluble what is meant is that the silicone forms a separate, discontinuous phase from the carrier, such as in the form of an emulsion or a suspension of droplets of the silicone.

The viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capillary viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTM0004, July 20, 1970, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Silicone compound of high molecular weight may be made by emulsion polymerization. Silicone compounds useful herein include polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkyleneoxide-modified siloxanes, silicone resins, amino-substituted siloxanes, and mixtures thereof. The silicone compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkyleneoxide- modified siloxanes, silicone resins, and mixtures thereof, and more preferably from one or more polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes. Polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes useful here in include those with the following structure (I) wherein R is alkyl or aryl, and x is an integer from about 7 to about 8,000. "A" represents groups which block the ends of the silicone chains. The alkyl or aryl groups substituted on the siloxane chain (R) or at the ends of the siloxane chains (A) can have any structure as long as the resulting silicone remains fluid at room temperature, is dispersible, is neither irritating, toxic nor otherwise harmful when applied to the hair, is compatible with the other components of the composition, is chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, and is capable of being deposited on and conditions the hair. Suitable A groups include hydroxy, methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, and aryloxy. The two R groups on the silicon atom may represent the same group or different groups. Preferably, the two R groups represent the same group. Suitable R groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, methylphenyl and phenylmethyl. The preferred silicone compounds are polydimethylsiloxane, polydiethylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane, which is also known as dimethicone, is especially preferred. The polyalkylsiloxanes that can be used include, for example, polydimethylsiloxanes. These silicone compounds are available, for example, from the General Electric Company in their ViscasilR and SF 96 series, and from Dow Corning in their Dow Corning 200 series. Polymethylphenylsiloxanes, for example, from the General Electric Company as SF 1075 methyl phenyl fluid or from Dow Corning as 556 Cosmetic Grade Fluid, are useful herein. Also preferred, for enhancing the shine characteristics of hair, are highly arylated silicone compounds, such as highly phenylated polyethyl silicone having refractive index of about 1.46 or higher, especially about 1.52 or higher. When these high refractive index silicone compounds are used, they should be mixed with a spreading agent, such as a surfactant or a silicone resin, as described below to decrease the surface tension and enhance the film forming ability of the material. Another polyalkyl polyaryl siloxane that can be especially useful is a silicone gum. The term "silicone gum", as used herein, means a polyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25°C of greater than or equal to 1 ,000,000 centistokes. It is recognized that the silicone gums described herein can also have some overlap with the above-disclosed silicone compounds. This overlap is not intended as a limitation on any of these materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch, and others including U.S. Patent No. 4,152,416, to Spitzer et al., issued May 1 , 1979 and Noll, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York: Academic Press 1968. Also describing silicone gums are General Electric Silicone Rubber Product Data Sheets SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and SE 76. All of these described references are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The "silicone gums" will typically have a mass molecular weight in excess of about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1 ,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer, polydimethylsiloxane diphenylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer and mixtures thereof. Polyalkyleneoxide-modified siloxanes useful herein include, for example, polypropylene oxide modified and polyethylene oxide modified polydimethylsiloxane. The ethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide level should be sufficiently low so as not to interfere with the dispersibility characteristics of the silicone. These material are also known as dimethicone copolyols. Silicone resins, which are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems, are useful herein. The crosslinking is introduced through the incorporation of tri- functional and tetra-functional silanes with mono-functional or di-fu notional, or both, silanes during manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in the art, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane units incorporated into the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units, and hence, a sufficient level of crosslinking, such that they dry down to a rigid, or hard, film are considered to be silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of the level of crosslinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials which have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom will generally be silicone resins herein. Preferably, the ratio of oxygen:silicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1.0. Silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinylchlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane, with the methyl substituted silanes being most commonly utilized. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in a dissolved form in a low viscosity volatile or nonvolatile silicone fluid. The silicone resins for use herein should be supplied and incorporated into the present compositions in such dissolved form, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the silicone resins can enhance deposition of other silicone compounds on the hair and can enhance the glossiness of hair with high refractive index volumes. Other useful silicone resins are silicone resin powders such as the material given the CTFA designation polymethylsilsequioxane, which is commercially available as Tospearl™ from Toshiba Silicones. Silicone resins can conveniently be identified according to a shorthand nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art as the "MDTQ" nomenclature. Under this system, the silicone is described according to the presence of various siloxane monomer units which make up the silicone. Briefly, the symbol M denotes the mono-functional unit (CH3)3SiO) 5; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH3)2SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH3)SiO-ι .5; and Q denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit Siθ2- Primes of the unit symbols, e.g., M', D', T\ and Q' denote substituents other than methyl, and must be specifically defined for each occurrence. Typical alternate substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxyl, etc. The molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to the symbols indicating the total number of each type of unit in the silicone, or an average thereof, or as specifically indicated ratios in combination with molecular weight, complete the description of the silicone material under the MDTQ system. Higher relative molar amounts of T, Q, T' and/or Q' to D, D', M and/or or M' in a silicone resin is indicative of higher levels of crosslinking. As discussed before, however, the overall level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio. The silicone resins for use herein which are preferred are MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ resins. Thus, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl. Especially preferred are MQ resins wherein the M:Q ratio is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is from about 1000 to about 10,000. Amino-substituted siloxanes useful herein include those represented by the following structure (II) wherein R is CH3 or OH, x and y are integers which depend on the molecular weight, the average molecular weight being approximately between 5,000 and 10,000. This polymer is also known as "amodimethicone". Suitable amino-substituted siloxane fluids include those represented by the formula (III) (R1 )aG3-a-Si-(-OSiG 2 ) n -(-OSiG b (R 1 )2-b)m"0-SiG 3 . a (R ) a (III) in which G is chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, OH, C<|-C8 alkyl and preferably methyl; a denotes 0 or an integer from 1 to 3, and preferably equals 0; b denotes 0 or 1 and preferably equals 1 ; the sum n+m is a number from 1 to 2,000 and preferably from 50 to 150, n being able to denote a number from 0 to 1 ,999 and preferably from 49 to 149 and m being able to denote an integer from 1 to 2,000 and preferably from 1 to 10; R^ is a monovalent radical of formula CqH2qL in which q is an integer from 2 to 8 and L is chosen from the groups -N(R2)CH2-CH 2 -N(R2)2 -N(R 2 )2 -N(R 2 ) 3 A " -N(R2)CH2-CH 2 -NR 2 H2A " in which R2 is chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl, a saturated hydrocarbon radical, preferably an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and A " denotes a halide ion. An especially preferred amino-substituted siloxane corresponding to formula (III) is the polymer known as "trimethylsilylamodimethicone", of formula (IV): CH3 CH 3 fCH3) 3 Si-O[— p-O— In— [— ^i-O— lm— Si (CH 3 3 (IV CH3 (CH_Da NH (CH 2 NH 2 In this formula n and m are selected depending on the molecular weight of the compound desired. Other amino-substituted siloxane which can be used are represented by the formula (V): where R3 denotes a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably an alkyl or alkenyl radical such as methyl; R4 denotes a hydrocarbon radical, preferably a C-| - C<|8 alkylene radical or a C-| - C-|8. and more preferably C-| - Cs, alkyleneoxy radical; Q " is a halide ion, preferably chloride; r denotes an average statistical value from 2 to 20, preferably from 2 to 8; s denotes an average statistical value from 20 to 200, and preferably from 20 to 50. A preferred polymer of this class is available from Union Carbide under the name "UCAR SILICONE ALE 56." In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the silicone compound is contained in the hair conditioning composition in the form of a cationic silicone emulsion. The cationic silicone emulsion herein is a pre- dispersed stable emulsion comprising at least a cationic surfactant, a silicone compound, and water. The cationic surfactant useful herein is any known to the artisan, such as those selected from the species disclosed above under the title "Cationic Conditioning Agent". The cationic silicone emulsion herein is also believed to minimize hair volume reduction, while not deteriorating conditioning benefits such as fly-away control. It is of particular significance that, in this preferred embodiment, the cationic surfactant is present in the silicone emulsion, and not just in the bulk of the composition. The cationic silicone emulsion herein also provides acceptable rheology profiles in conditioning compositions. The cationic silicone emulsion typically contains, by weight of the cationic silicone emulsion, from about 1 % to about 20%, preferably from about 2% to about 8%, of a cationic surfactant; and an emulsifiable amount of silicone compound. The silicone compound is preferably contained from about 0.1 % to about 70%, more preferably from about 5% to about 60% by weight of the cationic silicone emulsion. The amount of silicone compound to the entire composition is preferably from about 0.1 % to about 10% by weight. The cationic silicone emulsion is included in the composition at a level by weight from about 0.1 % to about 20%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 5%. The cationic silicone emulsion can be made by any convenient method known in the art. For example, the cationic silicone emulsion may be made by mechanical emulsification by taking a polysiloxane polymer and emulsifying it in water in the presence of at least one emulsifying agent using mechanical means such as agitation, shaking and homogenization. The emulsifying agent can be the cationic surfactant comprised in the cationic silicone emulsion, or other suitable surfactant. Mechanical emulsification may require use of two or more surfactants, and two or more mixing processes using different surfactants. Two or more types of silicone compounds, such as a highly viscous silicone compound and a low viscosity silicone compound, may be used. One particularly preferred process for obtaining the cationic silicone emulsion of the present invention via mechanical emulsification is through the process disclosed in EP Publication 460,683A, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In this reference, it is disclosed that the emulsion is prepared by combining the polysiloxane, water, and a primary nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 15-19 to form a first mixture, adding to the first mixture a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic, cationic and anionic surfactants having an HLB value of 1.8-15 to form a second mixture and mixing the second mixture at a temperature of about 40°C, until the particle size of the polysiloxane in the emulsion is less than about three hundred nanometers. The cationic silicone emulsion herein may be made by emulsion polymerization. An emulsion polymerization process includes taking a polysiloxane monomer and/or oligomer and emulsifying it in water in the presence of a catalyst to form the polysiloxane polymer. It is understood that unreacted monomers and oligomers may remain in an emulsion polymerized silicone emulsion. One particularly preferred process for obtaining the cationic silicone emulsion of the present invention via emulsion polymerization is through the process disclosed in GB application 2,303,857, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This reference discloses a process for making stable cationic silicone oil-in-water emulsion comprising: 1 ) blending a mixture of silicones selected from the group consisting of cyclic silicone oligomers, mixed silicone hydrolyzates, silanol stopped oligomers, high molecular weight silicone polymers, and functionalized silicones with 2) water, and 3) an anionic surfactant; 4) heating the blend to a temperature ranging from about 75 to about 98°C for a period of time ranging from about 1 hours to about 5 hours; 5) cooling the heated blend to a temperature ranging from 0 to about 25°C for a period of time ranging from about 3 hours to about 24 hours; 6) adding a compatibilizing surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactant having an HLB ratio greater than 9; and 7) adding a cationic surfactant. The silicone compound in the cationic silicone emulsion has a particle size of less than about 50 microns, preferably from about 0.2 to about 2.5 microns, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 0.5 microns. The particle size of the silicone compound is believed to affect the deposition of the silicone compound on the hair. The particle size of the silicone compound is determined based on the desired deposition and uniformity of distribution of the silicone compound.

METHOD OF PREPARING COMPOSITION The hair conditioning composition of the present invention may be made by any method of preparation known in the art. In one embodiment, the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether is dispersed in water at room temperature to make a polymer solution, and is either heated up to above 70°C, or added to a water base preheated to above 70°C. Alternatively, the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether, which is typically obtained in the form of a powder, is directly added to the preheated water base. The cationic conditioning agent and the high melting point fatty compound are also added in the heated solution to form a gel matrix together with the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether. The mixture thus obtained is cooled down to below 60°C, and the remaining components are added with agitation, and further cooled down to about 30°C. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the hair conditioning composition of the present invention is prepared by the following steps; (a) mixing the high melting point fatty compound, the cationic conditioning agent, and the aqueous carrier at a temperature of at least about 70°C; (b) cooling the mixture obtained in step (a) to below about 60°C; (c) adding the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether to the cooled mixture obtained in step (b); and (d) mixing until a homogeneous composition is obtained. In step (a), the gel matrix is formed. The hydrophobically modified cellulose ether is added to this gel matrix, preferably after the gel matrix is cooled to a temperature of below about 60°C, still preferably about 40°C to 60°C in step (b). The hydrophobically modified cellulose ether can be added in the form of a powder, as typically obtained, or in the form of a partially or completely dissolved water solution in step (c). The obtained mixture is thoroughly mixed, as necessary using a triblender and/or mill, until homogeneous in step (d). When cationic polymers, polypropylene glycols or rheology modifers are included in the composition, such components are added in either step (a) or (c). Any remaining components of the compositions are added in step (d). Heat sensitive components may be added after the mixture is cooled to room temperature. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that, when the preferred embodiment method is used for preparing the present composition, the hydrophobically modified cellulose ether is mixed in the composition in a fully solubilized manner, thereby providing a stable composition in terms of rheology. Surprisingly, this stable composition may further provide an improved increase to bulk hair volume of the hair when applied to the hair.
