Abstract

Abstract A hair conditioning composition containing an amino functional silicone polymer in aqueous emulsion such as amodimethicone, and an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair of a cationic surfactant-emulsifier containing at least one long chain fatty acid residue which has between 12 and 18 carbon atoms, and an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair and for improving the durability of the conditioning effect of at least one cationic polymer in an aqueous carrier. The process of the invention involves the application of the aforementioned conditioning composition before or after shampooing whereby the durability of the conditioning effect is further enhanced.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 86 words
A hair conditioning composition comprising: (a) from about 0.2 to about 10% by weight of an amino functional silicone polymer in aqueous emulsion; (b) an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair, of a cationic surfactant-emulsifier containing at least one long chain fatty acid residue, such residue containing between 12 and 18 carbon atoms; and (c) an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair and for improving the durability of the conditioning effect, of at least one cationic polymer; in (d) an aqueous carrier.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 86 words
A hair conditioning composition comprising: (a) from about 0.2 to about 10% by weight of an amino functional silicone polymer in aqueous emulsion; (b) an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair, of a cationic surfactant-emulsifier containing at least one long chain fatty acid residue, such residue containing between 12 and 18 carbon atoms; and (c) an effective amount for increasing the combability of hair and for improving the durability of the conditioning effect, of at least one cationic polymer; in (d) an aqueous carrier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The hair conditioning composition of claim 1, wherein said amino functional silicone polymer is amodimethicone.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
The hair conditioning composition of claim 1, wherein said cationic surfactant-emulsifier is at least one of tallowtrimonium chloride and stearalkonium chloride.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
The hair conditioning composition of claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said cationic polymer is at least one of quaternium-40, quaternium-41, onamer, quaternized poly-4-vinyl pyridine, poly(methacryl-amidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride), quaternized poly(vinylamine), quaternized poly(ethyleneimine); and quaternium-19.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 87 words
The hair conditioning composition of claim 2, wherein said cationic surfactant-emulsifier is at least one of tallowtrimonium chloride and stearalkonium chloride, and said effective amount of said cationic surfactant-emulsifier is from about 0.1 to about 1.5% by weight based on the composition, and said cationic polymer is at least one of quaternium-40, quaternium-41, onamer, quaternized poly-4-vinyl pyridine, poly(methacryl-amidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride), quaternized poly(vinylamine), quaternized poly(ethyleneimine); and quaternium-19, and said effective amount of said cationic polymer is from about 0.05 to about 1% by weight, based on the composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 34 words
A process for conditioning hair which comprises applying the composition of claims 1 or 5 to hair and shampooing the hair with an anionic surfactant either before or after the application of said composition.
