Abstract

Aqueous aerosol mousse compositions are disclosed which contain a water-dispersible silicone elastomer. The presence of the elastomer provides for clean wet hair feel along with good style retention.

Claims

1. An aerosol hair styling mousse comprising:

(a) from about 0.1% to about 5% of a anionically stabilized hydroxylated polyorganosiloxane emulsion capable of forming an elastomer;

(b) from about 3% to about 30% of an aerosol propellant; and

(c) water.

2. An aerosol composition according to claim 1 wherein the propellant is selected from the group consisting of trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, monochlorodifluoromethane, trichlorotrifluoroethane, dimethyl ether, propane, isobutane, η

-butane and mixtures thereof.

3. An aerosol composition according to claim 1 further comprising a hair setting polymer.

4. An aerosol composition according to claim 3 wherein the hair setting polymer is selected from the group consisting of cationic, amphoteric, nonionic, and anionic polymers.

5. An aerosol composition according to claim 4 wherein the hair setting polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone and other monomers and mixtures thereof.

6. An aerosol composition according to claim 3 further comprising a high molecular silicone contained in the propellant phase of the composition.

7. An aerosol composition according to claim 5 wherein the silicone elastomer emulsion has a solid content of from about 20% to about 60% and a pH of from about 9 to about 11.5.

8. An aerosol composition according to claim 7 wherein the silicone present in the emulsion has 2 silicone-bonded hydroxyls per molecule.

9. An aerosol composition according to claim 1 further comprising a suspending agent.

10. An aerosol composition according to claim 9 wherein the suspending agent is selected from the group consisting of carboxyvinyl polymers and clay.

11. An aerosol composition according to claim 10 further comprising a hair setting polymer.

12. An aerosol composition according to claim 11 further comprising a high molecular weight silicone in the propellant phase.

13. An aerosol composition according to claim 1 further comprising an anionic or nonionic surface active emulsion stabilizer.

14. A method of styling hair by applying a composition according to claim 1 to said hair.

15. A method according to claim 14 wherein the composition is according to claim 5.

16. A method according to claim 14 wherein the composition is according to claim 8.

17. A method according to claim 14 wherein the composition is according to claim 10.

18. A method according to claim 14 wherein the composition is according to claim 12.
