Description: Hair Styling Compositions Containing Select Polyalkylene Glycol Styling Agents FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates to hair styling compositions which provide improved hair restyling performance. In particular, the present invention relates to hair styling compositions which contain select polyalkylene glycols that provide for improved dry hair restyling performance without reapplication of the composition and/or any additional hair styling aids. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hair styling compositions are well known and are commercially available in a variety of forms including mousses, gels, lotions, pumps, or hairsprays. Many of these products contain various hair styling agents to provide temporary hair styling benefits such as body, hold, luster, improved hair feel, and good style retention. One method of providing temporary hair styling benefits from a styling product while styling the hair involves the use of a hair mousse. Many hair mousse products have been formulated such that the hair mousse composition can be applied to wet or damp hair before styling or "setting" the hair. Typically, the hair mousse compositions are aqueous formulations which contain water-soluble styling agents that provide adhesive properties to the hair while the hair is wet and being styled. These styling agents, however, can form hard breakable films on the hair as the styling process is near completion, and this can result in an unacceptable hair style or in a hair style that cannot be restyled unless additional water and/or supplemental styling products are added to the hair. Moreover, the use of aqueous hair mousse compositions which contain water-soluble styling agents can leave the hair feeling unduly sticky and stiff. One attempt at producing an aqueous hair mousse composition that is especially effective in providing good hair styling performance without leaving the hair feeling unduly stiff or sticky involves the formulation of an aqueous hair mousse which comprises a water-soluble styling polymer, a silicone emulsion, a liquid carrier comprising a combination of water and lower alcohols, and a silicone-linear polyoxyalkylene block copolymer surfactant which maintains stability of the silicone emulsion. Although these aqueous hair mousse compositions are effective in providing good hair styling performance and improved hair feel, they are also typically applied to wet or damp hair, and often lead to the application of an additional styling product once the hair has dried in order to achieve the desired final hairstyle form. Another attempt at producing an aqueous aerosol hair mousse composition that provides good hair styling performance and improved hair feel involves the use of a combination of panthenol and certain low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols The low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols, 1 e , polyethylene glycols or polypropylene glycols havmg from 3 to about 12 ethylene glycol or propylene glycol units, help to effectively and efficiently deliver the panthenol to the hair These hair mousse compositions, however, are also typically applied to wet or damp hair to achieve the desired hair conditioning benefits and generally require reapphcation of the composition or another styling product to maintain or modify the original hairstyle Therefore, a need exists for hair stylmg compositions which provide for a desired hair style to be achieved and maintained, and which can be applied or sprayed on the hair duπng the stylmg process A recent method of making a hair stylmg composition that can be applied to wet and/or dry hair duπng the stylmg process, and provide improved stylmg performance is descπbed m JP 8-346608, published June 23, 1998 The hair stylmg compositions disclosed m this publication contain polyalkylene glyceryl ethers stylmg agents to provide for sustained hair styhng performance and improved aesthetics such as longer moisture and luster to the hair These polyalkylene glyceryl ether stylmg agents typically do not readily penetrate mto the hair and can remain on the hair fibers to provide the improved hair stylmg benefits The polyalkylene glyceryl ether containmg compositions disclosed in this particular publication, however, tend to provide minimal or no hold to the hair, and this can result in poor style achievement and poor style retention performance. Another recent method of making a hair stylmg composition that can be apphed duπng the styhng process, and provide improved styhng performance is descπbed in WO 98/38969, published September 11, 1998 The compositions disclosed in this pubhcation use certam styhng agents which dehver hair style performance to dry hair, and provide for the dry hair to be restyled without havmg to reapply the composition and without requiring the use of another styhng product. The styhng agents described m this reference mclude aruonic, canonic, amphoteπc, and nomomc styhng polymers, preferably sulfonated anionic styling polymers which have an average molecular weight of from about 500 to about 5,000,000 These styhng agents, however, have exceptional cohesive strength which provides for the hair fibers to be firmly held together, and this can cause the dry hair to feel coarse and be difficult to comb, style, and restyle It has now been found that other hair styhng compositions, particularly aerosol hair styhng compositions, can be formulated to provide improved dry hair restyle performance without the need to reapply the composition and/or add any other styhng aids. Unlike the compositions descπbed in the WO 98/38969 pubhcation, these new aerosol hair styhng compositions comprise low molecular weight, water- soluble polyalkylene glycol styhng agents that are liquids or seπnsohds under ambient conditions and that can remain as a liquid or se isohd after the compositions have been apphed and allowed to dry on the hair These select polyalkylene glycols can provide for a fluid film to be left on the hair which can be characterized as a reformable weld that allows the hair fibers to be separated by forces such as wind, and then re-adhere using styhng techniques such as combing, brushing, or running your fingers through the hair The ability of these select polyalkylene glycol styhng agents to remain as a liquid or semisohd also provides for an aerosol hair styling product that can be applied and evenly distributed onto dry hair, resulting m the dry hair feelmg extremely smooth and very easy to restyle This improved restyle performance provided by these select polyalkylene glycols can last for extended peπods of several days without the need to reapply the composition and/or add any additional stylmg aids on the hair It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide aerosol or non-aerosol hair stylmg compositions which provide improved dry hair restylmg performance and unproved hair feel, and which contain select polyalkylene glycol styhng agents that have a number average molecular weight of from about 190 to about 1500 and which optionally contain silicones or silicone derivatives having a molecular weight of greater than about 40,000 daltons. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an aerosol hair styhng composition m the form of a hair mousse which provides improved dry hair restylmg performance and unproved hair feel, and which contains select polyalkylene glycol stylmg agents that have a number average molecular weight of from about 190 to about 1500 and which optionally contain silicones or silicone derivatives having a molecular weight of greater than about 40,000 daltons. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an aerosol hair styhng composition which provides improved dry hair restylmg performance and unproved nan feel for extended peπods of time without the need to reapply the composition or add any other styhng aids. It is still yet another object of the present invention to provide an aerosol hair styhng composition that is a leave-on hair styhng composition, and further to provide such a composition that does not feel unduly sticky or stiff after the composition has been apphed and allowed to dry on the hair. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to aerosol hair styhng compositions which compπse (a) from about 5% to about 90% by weight of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol that is substantially free of polyalkylene glyceryl ethers and that has a number average molecular weight of from about 190 to about 1500 and from about 5 to about 35 repeating alkylene oxide radicals wherem each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; (b) from about 1% to about 90% by weight of a hqmd earner; and (c) from about 5% to about 40% by weight of a propellant.

The present invention is also directed to hair styling compositions which comprise (a) from about 2% to about 80% by weight of a water-soluble polyalkylene glycol that has a number average molecular weight of from about 900 to about 1500 and from about 5 to about 35 repeating alkylene oxide radicals . wherein each of the repeating alkylene oxide radicals has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, (b) from about 1.5% to about 60% of a silicone or silicone derivative having a molecular weight of greater than about 40,000, and (c ) from about 1% to about 90% of a liquid carrier, wherein the ratio of the pol alkyene glycol to silicone or silicone derivative ranges from about 1 :4 to about 4:1. It has been found that the aerosol hair styling compositions of the present invention can provide improved dry hair restyling performance for several days without the need to reapply the composition or add any other styling aid on the hair. This is accomplished by formulating an aerosol hair styling composition, especially a hair mousse, that contains select polyalkylene glycol styling agents which are capable of being deposited on the hair as a hquid or semisohd and can remain a hquid or semisohd after the composition has been allowed to dry on the hair. These select styling agents can create a fluid film on the hair in the form of a reformable weld that provides for improved hair restyling performance such as 1) dry hair styled and restyled without reapplication of the compositions and/or water and/or any other styling aid, 2) dry hair restyled for several days by simply combing or brushing the hair, and 3) improved styling aesthetics including frizz and volume control, superior hair hold, and superior hair feel.

For compositions which contam a sihcone or sihcone denvative. the ratio of polyoxyalkylene glycol to sihcone or silicone denvative must range from about 4 to 1 to 1 to 4, preferably from about 3 to 1 to 1 to 3 If the ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to sihcone or sihcone denvative is less than about 4T, hair treated with the hair styling composition may appear less glossy and the feel of the hair may become undesirable On the other hand, if the ratio of the polyalkylene glycol to si cone or sihcone denvative is greater than about 1 4. hair treated with the stylmg composition may appear frizzy The sdicones or sihcone denvatives optionally incorporated into the stylmg compositions herem have a molecular weight of greater than about 40,000. preferably greater than about 60,000, more preferably greater than about 80,000. The silicone may be added to the product in any form.

Because polymerization emulsions tend to require a lot of surfactant in order to fonn the emulsion, it is preferred that if pre-formed emulsions are used that they be mechanical emulsions. Non-limiting examples of nonvolatile silicones include nonvolatile soluble silicones, nonvolatile insoluble silicones, or combinations thereof. In this context, the term "soluble" means that the silicone is misctble with the liquid carrier so as to form part of the same phase. Conversely, the term "insoluble" means that the silicone forms a separate, discontinuous phase from the liquid carrier, such as in the form of an emulsion, microeniulsion. or a suspension of droplets of the silicone. The term "nonvolatile" as used in this context means that die silicone has a boiling point of at least about 265°C, preferably at least about 275°C, more preferably at least about 300°C. Such materials exhibit very low or no significant vapor pressure at ambient conditions. Suitable nonvolatile insoluble silicones include those insoluble silicone fluids such as polyalkylsiloxanes, polyarylsiloxanes, polyalkylaryl siloxanes, polyether siloxane copolymers, and mixtures thereof. Other nonvolatile insoluble silicone fluids having feel enhancing properties can also be used. In this context, the term "silicone fluid" refers to diose silicone materials which have a M.W. of greater than about 40,000 .° Nonlimiting examples of silicone fluids for use in the aerosol hair styling compositions of the present invention include polyalkyl or polyaryl siloxanes which conform to the formula: 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) may have any structure as long as the resulting silicones remain fluid at ambient conditions, are hydrophobic, are neither irritating, toxic nor otherwise harmful when applied to the hair or skin, are compatible with the other components of the composition, are chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, and are capable of being deposited on and of improving the feel of hair or skin. Suitable A groups include methyl, ethyl, phenyl, phenylene, hydroxy, methoxy. ethoxy, propoxy, and aryloxy. The two R groups on the silicone 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. phenethyl,methylphenyl and phenylmethyl. The preferred silicone fluids are polydimethylsiloxane. polydiethylsiloxane. and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane is most preferred. Specific examples of nonvolatile insoluble silicone fluids include, but are not limited to, polydimethylsiloxanes such as the Viscasil R® and SF96® series (commercially available from the General Electric Co.), and die Dow Corning 200® series (commercially available from Dow Corning Corp.); polymediylphenylsiloxane such as SF1075® methyl phenyl fluid (commercially available from the General Electric Co). Pre-emulsified silicones are especially useful as they can usually be directly added to the batch without high shear mixing equipment. Examples of preferred silicone emulsions are SM2169 and SM2140 from General Electric, D.C1664 offered by Dow Corning. BY22-029 offered by Toray, and KM902 offered by Shin-Etsu. Other suitable silicone fluids are disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,826,551. issued to Geen; U.S. Patent 3,964,500. issued to Drakoff, on June 22, 1976; U.S. Patent 4,364.837, issued to Pader; and British Patent 849.433, issued to Woolston, all of which disclosures are incorporated herein by reference. Other suitable silicones include insoluble silicone gum. The term "silicone gum", as used herein, means polyorganosiloxane materials having a viscosity at 25°C of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 centistokes. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch and others including U.S. Patent 4,152,416, Spitzer et al., issued May 1, 1979; and Noll, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York: Academic Press 1968. 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) (methylvmylsiloxane)copolymer,poly(dimemylsiloxane)(diphenylsiloxane)(me ylvinylsiloxane)copolymer, and mixtures thereof. Other suitable silicones include a silicone resin. Silicone resins are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems. The crosslinking is introduced through the incorporation of trifunctional and tetrafunctional silanes with monofunctional or difunctional, 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, sihcone 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. Sihcone materials which have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom will generally be silicone resins herein. Preferably, the ratio of oxygemsilicon 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 methylvinyl-chlorosilanes, 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 sihcone 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. Background material on silicones including sections discussing silicone fluids, gums, and resins, as well as manufacture of silicones. can be found in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 15, Second Edition, pp. 204-308.

Many such salts are known in the art, examples of which are described in World Patent Publication 87/05297, Johnston et al., pubhshed September 11, 1987, which description is incorporated herein by reference. Prefened optional crosslinked carboxylic acid polymers are those crosslinked carboxylic acid homopolymers or copolymers which contam unneutralized acid monomers It has been found that crosslinked carboxylic acid polymers which have unneutralized acid monomers are especially effective m providmg gelling properties to the residue without suppressmg the ease of removability of the residue by shampooing the hair Partially or fully neutralized crosslinked carboxylic acid polymers are also suitable for use as an optional gelling agent m the hair stylmg compositions of the present mvention, provided that these carboxylic acid polymers are mcluded m combination with one or more stylmg agents which have an average solubility parameter of above about 14 (cal/cm 3 ) 0 5 to about 20 (cal/cm 3 ) 0 5 Solubility parameters for the styhng agents or other matenals, and means for determining such parameters, are well known in the chemical arts A descnption of solubility parameters and means for determimng them are descnbed by C D Vaughan, "Solubility Effects m Product, Package, Penetration and Preservation" 103 Cosmetics and Todetnes 47-69, October 1988, and C D Vaughan, "Using Solubdity Parameters in Cosmetics Formulation", 36 J. Soc. Cosmetic Chemists 319-333, September/October, 1988, which descnptions are incorporated herem by reference. Smtable crosslinked carboxylic acid homopolymers mclude those crosslinked homopolymers which have an acrylic acid monomer, or denvative thereof, (e.g , wherem the acrylic acid has substituents on the two and three carbon positions mdependently selected from the group consisting of C __> alkyl, -CN, -COOH, and mixtures thereof).

These copolymers are known as acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymers and are commercially available as Carbopol® 1342, Pemulen TR-1, and Pemulen TR-2, from B.F. Goodπch. Smtable crosslinked carboxylic acid polymers are more fully descnbed m U.S. Patent No. 5,087,445, to Haffey et al., issued February 11, 1992; U.S. Patent No 4,509,949, to Huang et al., issued Apπl 5, 1985; U S. Patent No. 2,798,053, to Brown, issued July 2, 1957; which descnptions are incorporated by reference herem. See also, CTFA International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, fourth edition, 1991, pp. 12 and 80; which descnption is also incorporated herem by reference. Modified Nomomc Cellulose Polymers The prefened optional gelling agent suitable for use m the aerosol hair styhng compositions of the present mvention also mclude water-soluble hydrophobically modified nomomc cellulose polymers. The term "water-soluble hydrophobically modified nomomc polymers" refers to those water-soluble nomomc polymers which have been modified to compnse substituted hydrophobic groups to make the polymer less soluble in water. Hence, the nomomc cellulose polymers compnse a water-soluble cellulosic chain (or hydrophihc cellulosic chain) which forms the backbone, wherem the backbone compnse substituted hydrophobic groups. Smtable substituted hydrophobic groups mclude C8-C22 alkyl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl groups, and mixtures thereof. The degree of substitution on the backbone should be from about 0.10% to about 1.0%, dependmg on the particular polymer backbone The nomomc cellulose polymers generally contam a ratio of hydrophihc substituents to hydrophobic substituents of from about 10:1 to about 1000:1. Nonlimiting examples of prefened hydrophobically modified nomomc cellulose polymers mclude those nomomc cellulose polymers which compnse a cellulose ether substrate and a long chain alkyl modifier. In this context, the term "long chain alkyl modifier" means that the modifying compound can comprise an alkyl radical or other functional groups such as an alphahydroxyalkyl radical, a urethane radical, or an acyl radical. These polymers, and methods of making the polymers, are also descπbed m U S Patent 4,228,277, issued to Landoll on October 14, 1980, which descnption is incorporated herem by reference Suitable cellulose ether substrates mclude any known or otherwise effective water-soluble nomomc cellulose ether Nonlimiting examples of smtable water-soluble nomomc cellulose ethers mclude, but are not limited to, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, and methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose The amount of the nomomc substituent (e g , methyl, hydroxyethyl, or hydroxypropyl substituent) is not cntical provided that the amount is sufficient to assure that the ether is water-soluble The prefened cellulose ether substrate is hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) which has a weight average molecular weight of from about 50,000 to about 700,000 It has been found that hydroxyethyl cellulose is the most hydrophihc smtable cellulose ether substrate, and therefore, can allow for greater modification than other smtable water-soluble cellulose ether substrates before water-insolubility is achieved. Accordingly, control of the modification process and control of the properties of the modified substrate can be more precise with hydroxyethyl cellulose substrates Hydrophilicity of the most commonly used nomomc cellulose ethers ranges from hydroxyethyl to hydroxypropyl to hydroxypropylmethyl to methyl, with hydroxyethyl bemg the most hydrophihc and methyl bemg the least hydrophihc The long cham alkyl modifier can be attached to the cellulose ether substrate via an ether, ester, or urethane linkage. The ether linkage is prefened. The size and effect of the hydrocarbon cham of smtable modifiers effectively conceals any noticeable effect deπved from functional groups other than alkyl hahdes which links the modifier to the substrate. In other words, if the long cham alkyl modifier is an epoxide containmg an alphahydroxyalkyl radical, an isocyanate containmg a urethane radical, or an acyl chlonde containmg an acyl radical, the effect of these functional groups are unnoticeable and the performance of the hydrophobically modified nomomc cellulose polymer is not significantly different from a polymer modified with an alkyl hahde modifier. Specific examples of prefened hydrophobically modified nomomc cellulose polymers mclude Natrosol Phis Grade 330, and Natrosol Plus CS Grade D-67, both commercially available from the Aqualon Company located m Wilmington, Delaware. Natrosol Plus Grade 330 is a hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose which has a weight average molecular weight of approximately 300,000 pπor to modification; which has been substituted with from about 0 4% to about 0.8%, by weight, of an alkyl modifier havmg sixteen carbon atoms; and which has a hydroxyethyl molar substitution of from about 3 0 to about 3 7 Natrosol Plus CS Grade D-67 is a hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose which has a weight average molecular weight of approximately 700,000 pπor to modification, which has been substituted with from about 0 50% to about 0 95%, by weight, of an alkyl modifier havmg sixteen carbon atoms; and which has a hydroxyethyl molar substitution of from about 2.3 to about 3.3. Other cellulose polymers which can provide measurable viscosity mcrease to the residue are also smtable for use as an optional gelling agent herem A specific example of other smtable cellulose polymers mclude a water-soluble -hydrophobically modified catiomc cellulose polymer commercially available as Quatrosoft from Amerchol Other Optional Matenals Other optional matenals suitable for use m the aerosol han stylmg compositions of the present mvention mclude, but are not limited to, preservatives, surfactants, conditioning polymers, electrolytes, fatty alcohols, hair dyes, antidandruff actives, odor masking agents, pH adjusting agents, perfume oils, perfume solubilizing agents, sequestering agents, emollients, lubncants and penetrants such as vaπous lanolin compounds, protem hydrolysates and other protem denvatives, sunscreens, volatile sihcone fluids, and lsopanafins.

An effective amount of the composition is either sprayed or applied onto dry hair before or after the hair is styled. As used herem "effective amount" means an amount sufficient to provide the hair hold and style performance desired according to the length and texture of the hair.
