Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A composition for the conditioning of hair treated with an alkaline medium prior to the conditioning, consisting essentially of, based on the total weight of the composition, from about 0.1% to about 10% of at least one cationic polymer product, from about 0.2% to about 20% of at least one amphoteric surfactant product, and sufficient acid to give the composition a pH in the range of from about 1 to about 6, wherein the ratio ##EQU3## is from about 0.2 to about 5, in an aqueous carrier, and from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of at least one betaine of the formula: ##STR13## in which R is a long chain aliphatic radical containing 10 to 24 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A composition for the conditioning of hair treated with an alkaline medium prior to the conditioning, consisting essentially of, based on the total weight of the composition, from about 0.1% to about 10% of at least one cationic polymer product, from about 0.2% to about 20% of at least one amphoteric surfactant product, and sufficient acid to give the composition a pH in the range of from about 1 to about 6, wherein the ratio ##EQU3## is from about 0.2 to about 5, in an aqueous carrier, and from about 0.1% to about 5.0% of at least one betaine of the formula: ##STR13## in which R is a long chain aliphatic radical containing 10 to 24 carbon atoms.
