Abstract
A hair-treating composition containing a diester or polyester of a naphthalene dicarboxylic acid having compound formula (I) or (II), or mixtures; for imparting gloss and/or hair color stabilization: ##STR1## wherein each R.sup.1, same or different, is an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, a diol having the structure HO--R.sup.2 --OH, or a polyglycol having the structure HO--R.sup.3 --(--O--R.sup.2 --).sub.m --OH, wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3, same or different, are each an alkylene group, straight chain or branched, having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and wherein m and n are each 1 to about 100, or a mixture thereof. These diesters and polyesters of formula (I) or (II) are quite effective in stabilizing the dibenzoylmethane derivative UV-A filter compounds making them more effective, and effective for longer periods of time.
