Patent ID: 8142767

Claim:
A hair cosmetic composition, comprising: (A) a solvent-containing silicone emulsion which is prepared by emulsifying a mixture of an emulsion (a) and a volatile solvent (b), wherein the emulsion (a) contains a high-molecular-weight α, ω-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxane, an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene (2) lauryl ether sulfate, polyoxyethylene (3) lauryl ether sulfate, and polyoxyethylene (4) lauryl ether sulfate, and/or lauryl sulfate, and water, wherein the high-molecular-weight α, ω-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxane is obtained by emulsion polymerization of an α, ω-dihydroxydimethylsiloxane, the volatile solvent (b) is decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane or isoparaffinic hydrocarbon having a boiling point in a range of 201 to 265°; (B) one or more surfactants selected from an anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant and a nonionic surfactant; and (C) water, wherein the solvent-containing silicone emulsion (A) is in the range of 0.1 to 10 wt % as a total amount of the high-molecular-weight α, ω-dihydroxypolydimethylsiloxane in the emulsion (a) and the volatile solvent (b), and the surfactant (B) is in the range of 0.05 to 40 wt %.
