Abstract
Abstract Mercaptyl-containing quaternary nitrogen compounds, which may contain additional functional moieties such as dye, polysiloxane, or polyoxyalkylenes groups, are useful in the treatment of hair, used in hair-treating compositions, to impart properties such as conditioning, shape, color, sheen, and manageability.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A hair-treating composition comprising an effective hair-treating amount of a mercapto-containing quaternary nitrogen compound of the formula: ##STR4## a is 1; m and n are each independently about 1 to about 20; R 1 is alkyl; R 2 is alkyl; R 3 is a silicon containing substituent of the formula --(CH.sub.2).sub.p --OSi(R.sub.4)(R.sub.5)--[OSi(R.sub.4)(R.sub.5)].sub.b --R.sub.5 wherein: b is about 1 to about 25; p is about 1 to about 14; and R 4 and R 5 are each independently lower alkyl, with R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 each being independently lower alkyl; and X - is a nontoxic anion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
