An agent for hair deforming treatment comprising the following components (A), (B) and (C):

Agent for hair deforming treatment

The hair cosmetic composition of the present invention, which is a one-agent type or a multi-agent type hair cosmetic composition, contains, the following components (A) to (D):

Hair cosmetic composition

The hair cosmetic composition of the present invention, which is a one-agent type or a multi-agent type hair cosmetic composition, contains, the following components (A) to (D), the component (C) content, relative to the total composition of the hair cosmetic composition, being 0.1 mass % or higher and lower than 20 mass %:

The invention provides a gel-form hair cosmetic composition, which contains components (a) to (c) emulsified in an aqueous component, and which exhibits an endothermic peak temperature of from 40&#xb0; C. to 75&#xb0; C. as measured through DSC, wherein the components are (a) a polyalkyleneimine derivative or a salt thereof, the polyalkyleneimine derivative being formed of a polyalkyleneimine having a weight average molecular weight of from 3,300 to 50,000, in which one of the substituents of R&#x2014;CO&#x2014;, R&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CHX&#x2014;CH&#x2014;, and R&#x2014;NH&#x2014;CO&#x2014; [Ris H, alkyl, alkenyl, or the like; Ris H, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl or the like; n is 0 or 1; X is H or OH; Ris H, alkyl, or alkenyl; at least one of Rto Rhas 13 or more carbon atoms; and the entirety of R, R, and Rhas an average number of carbon atoms of 9 or more and a linear group content of 30 mol % or more] is bonded to 40 mol % or more of the nitrogen atoms of the polyalkyleneimine; (b) a C12 to C28 saturated aliphatic alcohol; and (c) a cationic surfactant.

Gel hair cosmetic

A hair cleansing composition contains (a), (b), and (c). Component (a), as particles having mean particle size of 0.5-50 &#x3bc;m, is a polyalkyleneimine derivative or a salt thereof, having weight average molecular weight of 3,300-50,000, with at least one of R&#x2014;CO&#x2014;, R&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CHX&#x2014;CH&#x2014;, and R&#x2014;NH&#x2014;CO&#x2014; bonded to 40 mol % or more of the N atoms of the polyalkyleneimine. In (a), Rrepresents H, alkyl, alkenyl, or the like; Rrepresents H, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, or the like; n is 0 or 1; X represents H or OH; Rrepresents H, alkyl, or alkenyl; at least one of Rto Rhas 13 or more carbon atoms, and the entirety of Rto Rhas an average number of carbon atoms of 9 or more and a linear group content of 30 mol % or more. Component (b) is an anionic surfactant. Component (c) is a water-soluble cationic polymer.

Hair cleansing composition

A management server acquires software configuration information, hardware configuration information, and operation achievement information from each server system; generates server operation achievement information for managing operation achievements of each server system based on each acquired information; generates server operation achievement statistic information by aggregating the software configuration information about each server system based on the generated server operation achievement information; and, upon receipt of a software configuration decision request from a requestor server system, selects the software configuration information which matches a hardware configuration of the requestor server system, from the server operation achievement statistic information.

Computer system, computer system information processing method, and information processing program

A method of managing a virtual computer in a computer system including a plurality of computers, each of the computer storing a program for realizing a virtualization management module for managing a virtual computer, including a management storage area that is accessible only by the virtualization management module, storing start-up management information representing a correspondence among identification information on the virtual computer, identification information on a logical storage area storing a service program, and start-up authentication information for starting the virtual computer. The method including: a step of referring to the start-up management information to determine whether the start-up authentication information corresponding to the virtual computer exists, in a case of receiving a start-up request; a step of reading the service program from the logical storage area and executing the read service program, in a case of being determined the start-up authentication information exists.

Method of managing virtual computer, computer system and computer

Provided is a hair cosmetic composition containing Components (A) to (C), and having a pH (at 25&#xb0; C.) of from 1 to 5.5 when diluted to 20 times its weight with water: (wherein, at least one of Rto Rrepresents a Caliphatic hydrocarbon and the remainder represents H, Calkyl or hydroxyalkyl, or benzyl, Rrepresents a Calkylene, A represents &#x2014;CONH&#x2014; or &#x2014;NHCO&#x2014;, and a stands for 0 or 1), The hair cosmetic composition is excellent in the effect of restoring the flyaway or waved hair, which has appeared as a result of accumulation of damage due to hair coloring or the like, to its former state before damage and can give the hair good flexibility and smoothness during use of it.

A hair cleansing composition containing the following Components (A) to (D): The hair cleansing composition according to the present invention is excellent in the hair feel during shampooing and effects for straightening the flyaway or waved hair tip, which has resulted from the accumulation of damages caused, for example, by hair coloring.

The present invention provides polymer particles being capable of stably maintaining a hydrophobic protecting agent for skin and/or hair and a method of treating fibers by the polymer particles. It is polymer particles having a volume average particle diameter of 0.001 to 30 &mgr;m, which comprises an organic high-molecular polymer (a) as the wall membrane and a hydrophobic-protecting agent for skin and/or hair (b) as the core material, or chitosan and a polymer of an organic acid having reactive vinyl group and/or a salt thereof as the membrane wall and the protecting agent (b) as the core material; a fiber-treating agent comprising said polymer particles; fiber having said polymer particles present continuously or discontinuously on the surface thereof; or a fiber-treating method which comprises bringing said polymer particles or said fiber-treating agent into contact with fiber.
