Abstract

The present invention is related to a styling emulsion composition for keratin fibres especially hair for conditioning, styling and restyling purposes. The compositions comprise at least one oil and/or wax, at least one natural starch and at least one emulsifier. Furthermore hair fixing polymers are part of the compositions.

Claims

1. An aqueous composition for keratin fibres especially for human hair characterised in that it comprises at least one oil and/or wax, at least one natural starch and at least one emulsifier.

2. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that wax is selected from petrolatum, ozokerit, carnauba wax, paraffin, lanolin wax, candelila wax, bees wax, microcrystalline wax and cocoglycerides.

3. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that oil is selected from natural and synthetic oil.

4. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises oil and/or wax at a concentration of 5 and 40% by weight calculated to total composition.

5. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that natural starch is selected from wheat, rice, potato, corn starches, and mixtures thereof.

6. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises starch at a concentration of 0.1 to 25% by weight calculated to total composition.

7. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that at least one emulsifier is selected from anionic, cationic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants.

8. Composition according to claim 7 characterised in that emulsifier is mixture of at least one non ionic surfactant and anionic or cationic surfactants.

9. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises emulsifiers at a concentration of 0.05 to 10% by weight calculated to total composition.

10. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises at least one hair fixing polymer selected from anionic, non-ionic, cationic and amphoteric polymers at a concentration of 1 to 20% by weight calculated to total composition.

11. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises one or more organic solvents.

12. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises polyol.

13. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises at least one UV filter.

14. Composition according to claim 1 characterised in that it comprises at least one direct dye.

16. Process for styling hair wherein a composition according to claim 1 is applied onto wet and/or dry hair and hair is styled without rinsing the composition off.

17. Process for restyling hair wherein a new style is given to hair which already styled with a composition according to claim 1 without applying any additional styling agent.
