Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns a shampoo which improves the lustre and combability of the hair and which comprises an aqueous solution of a non-soap synthetic anionic detergent and from 0.05 to 5% by weight of certain water-soluble carboxylic linear polymers, preferably poly(methacrylic acid) of molecular weight between 10,000 and 100,000.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 130 words
A shampoo which improves the lustre and ease of combing of the hair comprising an aqueous solution having a pH value of from about 3 to about 10 of i. from about 5 to about 50% by weight of a non-soap synthetic anionic detergent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl sulphate, an alkyl ether sulphate, an alkyl sulphonate, an alkyl benzene sulphonate and a sulphosuccinate; and ii. from 0.05 to 5% by weight of a water soluble carboxylic linear polymer having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to about 500,000 which contains repeating carboxylic acid units selected from the formulae consisting of: ##EQU4## and ##EQU5## wherein R 2 is H or CH 3 and R 3 is H or OCH 3 , or the water soluble salt thereof.
