Hair spray compositions containing a carboxylated polyurethane resin, and having a low volatile organic content, are disclosed. The compositions have a low viscosity, and can be applied as a pump spray or as an aerosol, to hold the hair and impart excellent hair set retention properties. The hair spray compositions can be used with a curling iron or a blow dryer to style the hair.

Method of styling hair with hair spray compositions containing carboxylated polyurethane resins

Foaming propellant compositions for use in hair mousse compositions described. These compositions contain hydrofluorocarbon 152A and a suitable hydrocarbon in a ratio of about 30 to 70; to about 50 to 50; more preferably about 40 to 60. These compositions comprise the hydrofluorocarbon 152A; and a hydrocarbon, selected from the group consisting of propane, isobutane, and n-butane in the above recited ratios. The above propellant mixture is about 4 to 9 wt. % of total foaming, hair care composition.

Propellant compositions comprising a hydrofluorocarbon and a hydrocarbon

Hair styling gels containing a carboxylated polyurethane resin, a viscosity enhancer, and an optional second hair fixative resin, in an aqueous carrier, are disclosed. The styling gel compositions impart excellent hair styling, conditioning, and hair set retention properties to treated hair.
