Abstract
A transparent leave-on hair treatment composition including capsules of a water insoluble hair-treating compound encased in a shell material, such as gelatin or acacia gum. The aqueous leave-on composition is applied to the hair and the water insoluble hair-treating compound is released from the capsules to treat the hair. The shell disintegrates into sufficiently small residual particles such that the physical and esthetic properties of the hair, like shine and combability, are retained.
