A fluorescent organosilicon compound derived from the reaction of an aminofunctional organopolysiloxane and a fluorescent labeling reagent in which the fluorescent labeling reagent is incorporated into the molecule of the aminofunctional organopolysiloxane by means of a sulfonamide linkage. A method of treating hair is also disclosed in which the fluorescent organosilicon compound is applied to hair and the treated hair is examined for fluorescence under ultraviolet light in order to determine the extensiveness of deposition of the fluorescent organosilicon compound.

Hair care compositions containing a hydrophobic cationic emulsion of a highly branched and crosslinked silicone polymer. The silicone polymer is a polydimethylsiloxane and the silicone emulsions can be formulated into conditioners, styling gels, pump sprays and permanent hair waving products. The compositions are effective in enhancing wet and dry combing and feel of hair.
