Hair treatment compositions based on polycationic polymers

A hair shaping cosmetic composition contains in an aqueous, alcoholic or hydoalcoholic carrier a quaternized polymer.

Ionene polymers have been prepared and have been found to be useful in cosmetic compositions for the treatment of the hair and skin, or in the treatment of natural or synthetic textile fibers. These polymers comprise units of the formula ##STR1##

Ionene polymer and preparation thereof

A cosmetic composition for application to the hair, skin or nails comprises in a cosmetic vehicle selected from water, a lower alkanol or a dilute lower alkanol solution, 0.01 to 15 percent by weight of a cationic polymer having units of the formula ##STR1## said polymer having a molecular weight between 1,000 and 50,000. R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 each independently represent alkyl or hydroxyalkyl wherein the alkyl of each has 1-20 carbon atoms. A is alkylene, hydroxyalkylene, --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --Z--(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- wherein Z is oxygen and n is a whole number ranging from 2-10, or --EO).sub.m.sbsb.1 (DO.sub.m D.sub.1 wherein E is alkylene or hydroxyalkylene containing 1-5 carbon atoms, m.sub.1 is 0 or 1, m is 1-600 with the proviso that m is greater than 1 when m.sub.1 =0. D.sub.1 represents E when m.sub.1 =1 and D.sub.1 represents D when m.sub.1 =0.
