Leave-on or rinse-out hair care conditioner compositions containing silicone quaternary compounds and thickeners

A hair care composition which comprises (a) one or more polymer systems in the form of discrete particles, wherein said particles are swollen with a non-aqueous solvent; and (b) water or a hydroalcoholic solution carrier, are described. A method for treating hair which comprises contacting said hair with compositions of the invention is also described.

Hair care compositions and method for depositing swollen polymer particles onto hair

The invention relates to aqueous hair care compositions including conditioners, shampoos, and mousses. The invention also relates to methods of treating hair, and more particularly to treating hair with aqueous hair care compositions which contain one or more elastomeric resinous materials. These materials when tested at the same concentration that could be incorporated into a product exhibit a G&prime; modulus between 1&times;10 and 1&times; dynes/cm . Furthermore these resins when mixed with a hydrophilic or hydrophobic diluent at a ratio of 1:95 to 95:1% and this mixture then incorporated into an aqueous emulsion in the range of 0.1 to 10% have been demonstrated to deliver a consumer perceptible increase in hair body without sacrificing conditioning attributes.
