Abstract

Disclosed are hair styling compositions comprising by weight: (a) from about 0.2% to about 5% of an anionic polymer; (b) from about 0.2% to about 5% of a cationic polymer; (c) from about 0.2% to about 5% of an amphoteric polymer; and (d) a solvent; whereein the total of components (a), (b), and (c) is from about 0.6 to about 15%, and wherein the level of the component comprised at the lowest level among components (a), (b), and (c) is at least about 5% of that of the component comprised at the highest level among components (a), (b), and (c).

Claims

1. A hair styling composition comprising by weight of the concentrate:

(a) from about 0.2% to about 5% of an amphoteric polymer;

(b) from about 0.2% to about 5% of an anionic polymer;

(c) from about 0.2% to about 5% of a cationic polymer; and

(d) a solvent;

wherein the total of components (a), (b), and (c) is from about 0.6 to about 15% by weight of the concentrate, and wherein the level of the component comprised at the lowest level among components (a), (b), and (c) is at least about 5% of that of the component comprised at the highest level among components (a), (b), and (c).

2. The hair styling composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition is in the form of a mousse further comprising from about 0.02% to about 1% by weight of the concentrate of a nonionic surfactant having a total HLB value by Griffin method of at least 12.

3. The hair styling composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition is in the form of a hair spray.
