Abstract

The hair care composition includes a cationic surfactant, a silicone, and an aqueous carrier, wherein the silicone to high melting point fatty compounds ratio is about 100:0. Additionally, the hair care composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 500 centipoise. The hair care composition can be dispensed as a dosage of foam; applying the foam to the hair; and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm³ to about 0.15 g/cm³ when dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser.

Claims
