Description

The invention relates to a means for increasing the malleability and shine of hair, the one special homo- or copolymer, a polyethylene contains glycol and a non-ionic surfactant.

Research in the field has been around for a long time the hair care product set the goal of preparations develop that the formability and gloss of the Increase hair. So far, pomades, creams, Gels or waxes are used that are high in content Thickeners, emulsifiers or consistency agents the desired rheological behavior and to ensure emulsion stability by one to increase the formability and shine of hair suitable care products are required. Such To preparations are z. B. from K. Schrader, "Basics and Recipes for Cosmetics ", Hüthig Buch Verlag, Heidel berg, 2nd edition, 1989, pages 752 to 763. The disadvantage, however, is that this goal with the previously used hair care products only by Use of high concentrations of the substances mentioned is to achieve, on the one hand, an increase in costs and on the other hand to a considerable burden on the Lead hair. The task therefore arose  Hair treatment products to develop this Disadvantages no longer has.

The task is solved by a means to increase the formability and the shine of hair containing

• (A) 0.01 to 10 percent by weight of a homo- or copolymer formed from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer of the general formula (I)
  CH ₂ = CR ¹ R ² (I)
  where R ^{1 is} selected from A- (CH ₂ CH ₂ O) _x -R ³ and COOH, A is selected from C (= O) O, C (= O) NH and CH ₂ O, x is a number from 1 to 100 is, R ^{3 is} a C1 to C30 alkyl radical, R ^{2 is} selected from H, C1-C30 alkyl and CH ₂ -R ¹ , provided that at least one of the radicals R ¹ and R ² is group A. - contains (CH ₂ CH ₂ O) _x -R ³ ,
• (B) 0.01 to 50 weight percent of one Polyethylene glycol and
• (C) 0.01 to 20% by weight of one not ionic surfactant.

By an appropriate combination of these three main Ingredients of the hair treatment according to the invention means an unexpectedly strong, synergistic Increase in the viscosity and emulsifiability of the Systems not achieved by the individual substances can be. The agent according to the invention draws is characterized in particular by the fact that  water-insoluble substances such as hydrocarbons or Silicone oils form stable emulsions, whereby the rheological behavior of the hair care product Varying the content of the above ingredients the rheological behavior of a pomade, a cream, a wax or a gel can be adapted.

Component (A) is preferably a copolymer which is formed from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer of the general formula (I) and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer of the general formula (II)
