Abstract
A hair styling composition comprising: (a) from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight, of an adhesive polymer, said polymer being characterized by an organic polymeric backbone wherein said polymer is substantially free of silicone; (b) from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight, of a silicone grafted adhesive polymer, said polymer being characterized by an organic polymeric backbone, compatible with said adhesive polymer of (a) wherein said silicone grafted adhesive polymer has silicone macromers grafted to said backbone and wherein the number average molecular weight of said silicone macromers is greater than about 500; (c) from about 0.1% to about 15%, by weight, of a hydrocarbon solvent selected from the group consisting of C,-C,branched chain hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof having a boiling point of from about 105° C. to about 260° C.; (d) a polar solvent phase comprising from about 80% to about 99%, by weight of the composition, of a polar solvent selected from the group consisting of water and C,-C,monohydric alcohols, and mixtures thereof, wherein said composition contains no more than about 15%, by weight, of C,monohydric alcohol; wherein said organic polymer backbone is soluble in said polar solvent phase, and said silicone macromers of said hair setting polymer are soluble in said hydrocarbon solvent.
