Abstract

Abstract A water-based hair spray composition is provided herein which is capable of delivering a fine finishing mist to provide a stiff resin film having excellent hair holding power, with superior shine, and feel, and within a relatively low drying time, approaching that of alcohol-based systems. The composition of the invention attains its unique attributes by including a predetermined blend of at least two hair spray resins, one being a water soluble resin, and the other resin being a water dispersible polyester or polyesteramide.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A water-based hair spray composition according to claim 2 which is the ethyl or butyl half-ester of a linear copolymer of methyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A water-based hair spray composition according to claim 2 which is a terpolymer derived from the polymerization of vinyl acetate, mono-n-butyl maleate and isobornyl acrylate.
Claim 7
