A hair treatment composition, particularly a hair colouring and/or bleaching composition, comprising an oxidizing agent, an alkalizing agent selected from the group consisting of ammonia, its salts and mixtures thereof, one or more fatty alcohol(s), one or more non-ionic surfactant(s) and a specific fatty compound. It is also provided a kit, method and use thereof. Superior hair treatment performance, particularly superior colouring and bleaching performance, with a reduced or an eliminated smell of said alkalizing agent upon application, is achieved.

Hair treatment composition, kit and method thereof

The hair treatment composition contains at least one nonionic, water-insoluble vinyl/silicone copolymer having a backbone chain of siloxane polymer units and a side chain of vinyl polymer units and at least one nonvolatile silicone derivative compound. Hair, which is treated with the composition according to the invention, has a long-lasting fixing effect, which lasts through several washings. The hair treated with the composition of the invention is flexible and has a natural feel.

Hair treatment composition with long-lasting hair fixing properties

The hair treatment composition includes (A) at least one polydimethylsiloxane with hydroxy end groups, advantageously .alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-hydroxy-poly[oxy(dimethylsilylene)]; (B) at least one volatile, linear or cyclic polydimethylsiloxane, advantageously octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, and (C) at least one isoparaffin, advantageously an isomeric mixture of isododecanes. Also the composition is advantageously free of water or contains no more than 5 % water and is free of cross-linking agents. The composition forms a smooth protective film on hair which is treated with it, with brilliant luster, without loading the hair.

Silicone-containing hair treatment composition

The hair cleansing composition contains from 0.1 to 30 percent by weight of a dimethylsiloxanelmethyl-3-mercapto-propylsiloxane/isobutylmethacrylate copolymer and from 3 to 50 percent by weight of at least one detergent surfactant. The composition can also contain dimethylsiloxane glycol copolymers and/or polydimethylsiloxanes with or without hydroxy terminal groups. This composition has a definite fixing effect as well as satisfactory hair cleaning action. The film formed on the hair after washing and drying the hair does not significantly load the hair or leave an appreciable residue.

Hair cleansing composition with fixing properties

The aqueous hair fixing composition contains 0.1 to 30 percent by weight of at least one thickener, e.g. acrylic acid polymer; 0.1 to 25 percent by weight of a film-forming polymer ingredient which consists of vinyl acetate/crotonic acid copolymer, acrylic acid/acrylamide copolymer and/or methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer and 45 to 99.8 percent by weight water. This aqueous hair fixing composition necessarily contains no organic solvents, no cationic surfactants and no cationic polymers and a physiologically acceptable acid or base is added to it to adjust its pH so that the film-forming polymer ingredient is at least partially precipitated.

Aqueous hair fixing composition containing a water-soluble hair fixing

Aqueous composition for fixing hair in the form of a high viscous

The hair treatment composition is based on a polymer combination including (A) 0.01 to 40 percent by weight of a salt formed from a chitosan having a molecular weight of at least 100,000 g/mol and 2-pyrrolidon-5-carboxylic acid, and (B) 0.01 to 50 percent by weight of at least one synthetic, film-forming anionic or nonionic hair fixing polymer, or natural film-forming hair fixing polymer. This hair treatment composition provides an improved action in regard to combability, care sensitivity, load on the hair, brushability, hair feel, hair fixing action and residues left on the hair.

Hair treatment compositions

The aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic hair treatment composition contains:
