Hair compositions containing mixtures of quaternary ammonium compounds and tertiary amine salts of long-chain acids

Claim 1

A hair treating composition seleereo from the group consisting of creme rinses and conditioners comprising component (a) a quaternary ammonium compound of the formula ##STR18## in which ##STR19## where R is an alkyl or alkenyl chain of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 21 are methyl or ethyl, and R 3 and R 31 are alkyl chains of 1 to 3 carbons, and component (b) a tertiary amine salt of a long-chain acid of the formula ##STR20## wherein R 4 is selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic groups containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, ##STR21## RN(CH 3 )CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 --, RN(CH 2 CH 2 OH)CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 --, ##STR22## CH 3 O[CH 2 CH(CH 3 )0] 1-5 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 --, H[O(CH 3 ) CHCH 2 ] 3-8 , H[O(CH 3 )CHCH 2 ] 3-8 OCH 2 CH 2 --, RCHOHCH 2 , and ROCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , wherein R represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated groups containing from one to about two carbon atoms and H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) 1-15 , R 5 is selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic groups containing from about 1 to about 22 carbon atoms, ##STR23## RN(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 Ch 2 CH 2 --, RN(CH 2 CH 2 OH)CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 --, ##STR24## CH 3 O[CH 2 CH(CH 3 )O] 1-5 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 --, H[O(CH 3 ) CHCH 2 ] 3-8 , H[O(CH 3 )CHCH 2 ] 3-8 OCH 2 CH 2 --, RCHOHCH 2 , ROCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 , saturated and unsaturated groups containing from one to about two carbon atoms and H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) 1-15 , and R 7 is selected from the group consisting of ##STR25## RCH═CH 2 SO 3 --, RCONHCH(CH 3 )CO 2 --, ROSO 3 , RC 6 H 5 SO 3 --, RNHCOCH═CHCO 2 , isostearic acid residue, ricinoleic and residue, and dimer acid residue, wherein R represents a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, the weight-to-weight ratio of the quaternary ammonium compound/tertiary amine salt of long-chain acid varying from 60/40 to 90/10.
