Abstract
Abstract A hair conditioner composition for use under highly alkaline conditions comprising an aqueous dispersion containing from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of mineral oil, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a non-ionic emulsifier, and from about 0.05 to 20 weight percent of a quaternary polymer having recurring units of the formula ##STR1## and compositions and methods for waving or straightening hair employing the above hair conditioner composition and a hair waving or straightening solution containing sufficient sodium hydroxide to provide a pH of about 12 to 13.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A hair conditioning composition for use under highly alkaline conditions comprising an aqueous dispersion containing from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of mineral oil, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a non-ionic emulsifier, and from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent of a quaternary polymer having recurring units of the formula: ##STR4##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A hair conditioning composition for use under highly alkaline conditions comprising an aqueous dispersion containing from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of mineral oil, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a non-ionic emulsifier, and from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent of a quaternary polymer having recurring units of the formula: ##STR4##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein said nonionic emulsifyer is selected from the class consisting of Emulsifying Wax N.F., polyethylene glycol esters of fatty acids, polyoxyethylene ethers of fatty alcohols, polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide condensates, and polyoxyethylene lanolin ether.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The hair conditioner composition of claim 2 wherein said quaternary polymer is a homopolymer wherein all of the groups are substantially as shown.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
The hair conditioner composition of claim 2 wherein said quaternary polymer is a copolymer wherein at least about 50% of the groups are substantially as shown, and the remainder are acrylamide moieties.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The hair conditioner composition of claim 2 wherein said quaternary polymer is polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
64 words
The hair conditioner composition of claim 2 wherein said mineral oil is present in an amount from abut 3 to 7 weight percent, said fatty alcohol is cetyl alcohol and is present in an amount from about 8 to 12 weight percent and said non-ionic emulsifier is Emulsifying Wax N.F. and is present in an amount from about 5 to about 10 weight percent.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
70 words
A method of straightening or waving hair which comprises applying to said hair the composition of claim 1, thereafter applying to said hair an aqueous dispersion containing petrolatum and a sufficient concentration of sodium hydroxide to provide in said aqueous dispersion a pH between about 12 and about 13, placing said hair in a desired configuration and thereafter shampooing said hair with an acidic shampoo composition to neutralize excessive alkalinity.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said quaternary polymer of the composition of claim 1 is polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
45 words
A hair conditioner composition for use under highly alkaline conditions comprising an aqueous dispersion containing about 5 weight percent of mineral oil, about 10 weight percent of cetyl alcohol, about 7 weight percent of Emulsifying Wax N.F., and about 4 weight percent of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
45 words
A hair conditioner composition for use under highly alkaline conditions comprising an aqueous dispersion containing about 5 weight percent of mineral oil, about 10 weight percent of cetyl alcohol, about 7 weight percent of Emulsifying Wax N.F., and about 4 weight percent of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
122 words
A composition for waving or straightening hair comprising an aqueous dispersion containing from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of mineral oil, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a non-ionic emulsifier, from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent of a quaternary polymer having recurring units of the formula: ##STR5## from about 10 to about 30 weight percent of petrolatum, from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a normal liquid polyhydroxy compound, and from about 1 to about 3 weight percent of a watersoluble alkaline caustic material, the composition having a pH between about 12 and about 13.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
122 words
A composition for waving or straightening hair comprising an aqueous dispersion containing from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of mineral oil, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of a fatty alcohol having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of a non-ionic emulsifier, from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent of a quaternary polymer having recurring units of the formula: ##STR5## from about 10 to about 30 weight percent of petrolatum, from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of a normal liquid polyhydroxy compound, and from about 1 to about 3 weight percent of a watersoluble alkaline caustic material, the composition having a pH between about 12 and about 13.
