The invention concerns the use of combinations of active substances, consisting of (a) a cationic derivative of a protein hydrolyzate and (b) a carbohydrate and/or (c) a cationic, anionic or ampholytic polymer, in hair-cleaning and hair-care agents, thus improving the qualities of the hair, in particular its brittleness and its ease of combing when dry.

Cosmetic preparations for the hair

This invention is directed to an aerosol container system with two separate chambers, each of which contains a component to be mixed with the other component just prior to use. The container system comprises:

Dual chamber aerosol container

An aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic composition useful for washing or rinsing hair which contains a water-soluble ionic polymer and from about 0.1 to 20% by weight of a water soluble salt of a di- or tri-carboxylic acid containing from 6 to 44 carbon atoms. The ionic polymers may be cationic, anionic, amphoteric or zwitter-ionic. Preferred di- or tri-carboxylic acids are those in which two of the carboxyl groups are separated from one another by at least 3 carbon atoms. The composition further includes a quaternary ammonium compound as a preferred component. Hair rinses preferably contain as an additional ingredient from about 0.1 to 10% by weight of a water-insoluble cosmetic oil or fat component, while shampoos additionally contain from about 1 to 25% by weight of anionic, ampholytic, zwitter-ionic or nonionic surfactant.

Preparations for washing or rinsing hair containing di- or tri-

Cosmetic compositions for hair care and aftertreatment include a surface-active quaternary ammonium compound of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 -alkyl; R.sup.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, benzyl, or --(C.sub.n H.sub.2n O)z; n is 2 or 3; x, y, and z are 1-20; and A is an anion; as hair revitalizing agents with particularly good emulsifying properties. In one embodiment, the compositions are in the form of oil-in-water emulsions useful as hair rinses and contain from 0.1 to 5% by weight of the quaternary ammonium compound and from 0.2 to 10% by weight of a water-insoluble oil or fatty component, especially a C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty alcohol, a mono- and/or diglyceride of a C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 fatty acid, or a paraffin wax.

Hair care and aftertreatment preparations

New zwitterionic polymers are obtained as the copolymerization product of:

Zwitterionic polymers and their use in hair treatment preparations

Hair-treatment preparations containing as additive at least one surface-active phosphonic acid corresponding to general formula I, II or III below ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.5 -C.sub.21 alkyl, R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, and R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, hydroxyl, or, if R.sup.2 is --PO.sub.3 H.sub.2, --NH.sub.2, and R.sup.4 represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or a water-soluble salt thereof, improved the wet combability of hair and reduce its tendency to develop static charges. Octane-1-phosphonic acid, decane-1-phosphonic acid and dodecane-1-phosphonic acid or their salts are particularly effective. The phophonic acids are used in quantities of from 0.05 to 10% by weight, and preferably in quantities of from 0.1 to 2.0% by weight together with anionic tensides.

Hair-treatment preparation for improved wet combability

Preparations for washing or rinsing hair contain polyaldehydocarboxylic acids having an average molecular weight of from 600 to 10,000, a carboxyl group content of from 5 to 9 and preferably from 7 to 9 and an aldehyde group content of from 1 to 5 and preferably from 1 to 3 per 10 monomer units, or water-soluble salts thereof. These additives reduce the smoothness of dry hair and improve body and stylability after washing. The polyaldehydocarboxylic acids are preferably used in conjunction with hair-conditioning linear alkyl and/or alkylether phosphate salts, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl and/or aminoalkyl phosphonate salts. Preferred embodiments are hair shampoos containing from about 1 to about 10% by weight of the polyaldehydocarboxylic acids and from about 5 to about 50% by weight of anionic surfactants of the alkyl sulfate and/or alkylether sulfate type and hair rinses containing from about 1 to about 10% by weight of hair-conditioning alkyl and/or alkylether phosphate salts and/or alkane phosphonate salts.

Preparations for washing and rinsing hair

Aqueous hair treatment preparations containing as anionic surfactant an alkylether sulfonate corresponding to the following formula

Hair treatment preparations

Soil-collecting detergency enhancers for detergent solutions comprising a substantially water-insoluble polyfunctional quaternary ammonium compound or a water-soluble polyfunctional quaternary ammonium compound fixed to a water-insoluble solid carrier. The detergency enhancers may be used in the cleaning of soiled articles, particularly those soiled with pigments, in aqueous detergent solutions such as for washing fabrics.

Soil-collecting cleaning enhancers in aqueous surfactant laundering and

Hair-cosmetic compositions for improving the structure, resilience and strength of hair comprising a content of onic acids derived from aldohexoses or disaccharides containing a free aldehyde function and/or their .gamma.- or .delta.-lactones and a method of improving the structure and strength of hair, particularly hair which has been adversely affected by cosmetic treatments such as dyeing, bleaching, permanent waving, etc.

Cold permanent wave composition

This invention relates to a topical cosmetic preparation for treating oily hair or seborrhea which contains a sebosuppressively effective amount of at least one long-chain alkanol and at least one antioxidant.
