Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A hair styling composition for imparting body and/or stylability to hair, comprising: (a) at least one hair treatment material selected from the group consisting of a surfactant present in an effective amount to clean the hair, a conditioning agent present in an effective amount to condition the hair, and water or volatile solvent present in an effective amount as a carrier; and (b) an effective amount to impart body and/or stylability to hair of a material consisting essentially of a per-alk(en)yl hydrocarbon mixture of materials with respective high and low weight average molecular weights ranging from 20,000 to 1,000,000 and from 70 to 5,000 in a relative weight ratio of 10:1 to 1:10, said hydrocarbon mixture of materials having the formula: ##STR5## wherein: n=0-3; m=an integer such that the weight average molecular weight is as defined above; R 1 is --H or a C 1-4 alkyl group; R 2 is a C 1-4 alkyl group; R 3 is --H or a C 1-4 alkyl group; and ##STR6##
