     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The technical field describes cosmetic agents based on a specific polymer combination, use of these cosmetic agents for temporarily deforming keratinic fibers and cosmetic methods using these agents. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Polymers are widely used in the most varied cosmetic agents. They are to be found in agents for treating skin as well as in agents for treating hair, in agents which are washed off or out again directly after use, i.e. “rinse-off products”, and in agents which remain on the skin or hair, i.e. “leave-on agents”. The polymers are used for the most varied reasons and specific properties of the polymers are exploited in each case. In agents for treating skin, in shampoos, hair rinses and hair masks, the emphasis often lies on the thickening or conditioning properties of the polymers. In agents for temporarily deforming keratinic fibers, hereinafter also known as styling agents, alongside these properties film-forming and/or setting effects are particularly desired. Polymers often also serve as auxiliaries for improving or indeed enabling deposition and fixing of other active substances and ingredients on the skin or hair. By adding suitable polymers to hair coloring agents, for example, rubbing fastness and coloring durability may be increased. 
     Cosmetic agents generally contain individual polymers which are specifically tailored to achieving a very specific effect. If various effects are to be achieved, a plurality of polymers must be added. However, using too many different polymers may be associated with a series of disadvantages. Problems may accordingly arise during formulation, for instance because the polymers react with one another or with other components of the agent resulting in precipitation or decomposition phenomena. Certain polymers also have a tendency to be deposited so permanently on the skin and in particular on the hair that they are no longer completely removed with normal washing and the polymer accumulates undesirably so ultimately leading to contamination of the skin or hair. 
     There is therefore a constant need for polymers or suitable combinations of small numbers of polymers which simultaneously exhibit as many as possible of the desired properties. 
     For example, in the case of styling agents, the polymers used need to give the treated hair the strongest possible hold. In addition to a high degree of hold, styling agents must meet a whole series of further requirements. These may be broadly divided into properties on the hair, properties of the respective formulation, for example properties of the foam, the gel or the sprayed aerosol, and properties which affect the handling of the styling agent, wherein properties on the hair are of particular importance. Particular mention should be made of moisture resistance, low tackiness and a well-balanced conditioning effect. Moreover, a styling agent should as far as possible be universally applicable for all hair types. If the styling agent is a gel or a paste, the polymers should additionally have thickening properties. 
     Accordingly, at least one object herein is to provide suitable polymer combinations that are distinguished by good film-forming and/or setting properties, have a very high level of hold without having to sacrifice flexibility and good moisture resistance, in particular perspiration and water resistance, and are additionally suitable for producing stably viscous and stably transparent cosmetic compositions. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the invention and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with this background of the invention.

As used herein, the term protein hydrolysates also covers total hydrolysates and individual amino acids and the derivatives thereof and mixtures of different amino acids. The molecular weight of the protein hydrolysates which may be used herein is between about 75, the molecular weight of glycine, and about 200,000, the molecular weight preferably amounting to about 75 to about 50,000 and particularly preferably to about 75 to about 20,000 daltons. 
     The agent contemplated may furthermore contain at least one vitamin, a provitamin, a vitamin precursor and/or one of the derivatives thereof as a conditioning substance. Preferred vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors useful herein are those which are conventionally assigned to groups A, B, C, E, F and H. 
     Like the addition of glycerol and/or propylene glycol, the addition of panthenol increases the flexibility of the polymer film formed using the agent. 
     The agents contemplated herein may furthermore contain at least one plant extract, but also mono- or oligosaccharides and/or lipids as conditioning substance. 
     Oil bodies are furthermore suitable as a conditioning substance. Natural and synthetic cosmetic oil bodies include, for example, vegetable oils, liquid paraffin oils, isoparaffin oils and synthetic hydrocarbons and di-n-alkyl ethers having a total of between 12 to 36 C atoms, in particular 12 to 24 C atoms. Preferred cosmetic agents contain at least one oil body, preferably at least one oil body from the group of silicone oils. The group of silicone oils in particular includes dimethicones, which also include cyclomethicones, amino-functional silicones and dimethiconols. The dimethicones may be both linear and branched and cyclic or cyclic and branched. Suitable silicone oils or silicone gums are in particular dialkyl- and alkylarylsiloxanes, such as for example dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenylpolysiloxane, and the alkoxylated, quaternized or also anionic derivatives thereof. Preference is given to cyclic and linear polydialkylsiloxanes, the alkoxylated and/or aminated derivatives thereof, dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxanes and polyphenylalkylsiloxanes. 
     Ester oils, i.e. esters of C 6 -C 30  fatty acids with C 2 -C 30  fatty alcohols, preferably monoesters of the fatty acids with alcohols with 2 to 24 C atoms such as for example isopropyl myristate (Rilanit® IPM), isononanoic acid C 16-18  alkyl esters (Cetiol® SN), 2-ethylhexyl palmitate (Cegesoft® 24), stearic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, (Cetiol® 868), cetyl oleate, glycerol tricaprylate, coco fatty alcohol caprate/caprylate (Cetiol® LC), n-butyl stearate, oleyl erucate (Cetiol® J 600), isopropyl palmitate (Rilanit® IPP), oleyl oleate (Cetiol®), lauric acid hexyl ester (Cetiol® A), di-n-butyl adipate (Cetiol® B), myristyl myristate (Cetiol® MM), cetearyl isononanoate (Cetiol® SN), oleic acid decyl ester (Cetiol® V) are further preferred conditioning oil bodies. 
     Additional suitable conditioning substances are dicarboxylic acid esters, symmetrical, asymmetrical or cyclic esters of carbonic acid with fatty alcohols, trifatty acid esters of saturated and/or unsaturated linear and/or branched fatty acids with glycerol, or fatty acid partial glycerides, which should be understood to mean monoglycerides, diglycerides and the technical mixtures thereof. 
     With regard to cosmetic action, advantageous cosmetic agents have proven to be those in which the proportion by weight of the oil body in the total weight of the agent amounts to about 0.01 to about 5.0 wt. %, preferably about 0.02 to about 4.0 wt. % and in particular about 0.05 to about 2.0 wt. %. 
     The following tables show the composition of some preferred cosmetic agents (details in wt. % relative to the total weight of the cosmetic agent unless otherwise stated).

     The cosmetic agents contemplated herein may be formulated in any forms conventional for cosmetic agents, for example in the form of solutions, which may for example be applied onto the hair as a hair lotion, in the form of creams, emulsions, waxes, gels or also surfactant-containing foaming solutions or other preparations which are suitable for use on the hair. In an alternative embodiment, these agents may however also assume gel or cream form, wherein transparent gels are more preferred. 
     The compositions contemplated herein are in particular highly suitable for stabilizing gas bubbles in the agent. In this way, air or other gases or gas mixtures can be readily incorporated into the agents in such a manner as to be stable in the long-term. This may optionally proceed during production of the agents, by exposing the agent to gas, preferably air, before packaging and packaging a product containing visible gas bubbles. The agents preferably assume the form of a foam. A foam is here a preparation comprising gas filled bubbles surrounded by liquid (liquid foam) or solid (stiff foam) walls. The compositions listed in the following table are preferably stiff foams. The density of preferred compositions amounts to about 0.3 to about 1.0 g/cm 3 , preferably about 0.4 to about 0.9 g/cm 3  and in particular about 0.5 to about 0.8 g/cm 3 . Such foams may for example be produced by beating the preparation in a suitable mixer or by exposure to a suitable gas, preferably air. 
     The following tables show the composition of some preferred cosmetic foams. In this table the left-hand column (“formula x”) refers in each case to one of the exemplary cosmetic compositions listed in the tables disclosed further above. The further columns two to seven (“density”) in each case indicate the density of the corresponding cosmetic composition. 
     In other words, a cosmetic preparation according to line 12, column 5 of the following table comprises a cosmetic agent according to formula 11 with a density of 0.44 g/cm 3 .

     In an alternative embodiment, the cosmetic agents contemplated herein may be packaged as pump or aerosol sprays. In addition to further active and auxiliary substances, preferred aerosol sprays contain a propellant. Propellants (propellant gases) suitable for use herein are propane, n-butane, iso-butane, dimethyl ether (DME), nitrogen, air, nitrous oxide, 1,1-difluoroethane, specifically both individually and in combination. Hydrophilic propellant gases, such as for example carbon dioxide, may advantageously be used for the purposes herein if a small proportion of hydrophilic gases is selected and a lipophilic propellant gas (for example propane/butane) is present in excess. Dimethyl ether, propane, n-butane, iso-butane and mixtures of these propellant gases are more preferred. The use of propane/butane mixtures or isobutane is particularly preferred. Cosmetic agents which, relative to the total weight thereof, contain the propellant in a quantity of about 2.0 to about 20 wt. %, preferably about 4.0 to about 15 wt. % and more preferably about 5.0 to about 10 wt. %, are preferred. 
     The following tables show the composition of some preferred propellant-containing cosmetic agents. In this table the left-hand column (“formula x”) refers in each case to one of the exemplary cosmetic compositions listed in the tables disclosed further above. The further columns two to seven (“propellant”) in each case indicate the quantity of propellant added to the corresponding cosmetic composition. These indications in “wt. %” relate to the total weight of the cosmetic composition of the respective “formula x” without propellant. 
     In other words, a cosmetic preparation according to line 12, column 5 of the following table comprises a 20:1 mixture of the propellant-free cosmetic agent according to formula 11 with a propane/butane mixture.

     As explained above, the agents contemplated herein have advantageous hair-fixing properties. An exemplary embodiment therefore also provides a method for temporarily deforming keratinic fibers, in which a composition contemplated herein is applied onto the keratinic fibers. An exemplary embodiment also provides use of a cosmetic agent for temporarily deforming keratinic fibers. As explained above, the agents are distinguished in particular by improved hold in the case of temporary deformation of keratinic fibers. Another exemplary embodiment therefore additionally provides the use of a cosmetic agent to improve hold in the case of temporary deformation of keratinic fibers. 
     It has additionally been found that, by adding copolymer B to cosmetic agents containing copolymer A, the adhesive properties thereof are improved, in particular the tackiness and tacky phase (drying phase) thereof is reduced. 
     A further exemplary embodiment therefore further provides the use of a copolymer B formed from
         a monomer (B1) selected from quaternized N-vinylimidazoles,   a monomer (B2) selected from N-vinyllactams,
 
to reduce the tackiness of a cosmetic agent, containing in a cosmetically acceptable carrier a copolymer A formed from
   a monomer (A1) from the group of unsaturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated carboxylic acid esters,   a monomer (A2) from the group of unsaturated amine group-containing monomers,   a monomer (A3) from the group of unsaturated amphiphilic monomers.       

     Yet another exemplary embodiment therefore provides the use of a copolymer B formed from
         a monomer (B1) selected from quaternized N-vinylimidazoles,   a monomer (B2) selected from N-vinyllactams,
 
to reduce the tacky phase of a cosmetic agent, containing in a cosmetically acceptable carrier a copolymer A formed from
   a monomer (A1) from the group of unsaturated carboxylic acids and unsaturated carboxylic acid esters,   a monomer (A2) from the group of unsaturated amine group-containing monomers,   a monomer (A3) from the group of unsaturated amphiphilic monomers.
