Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition containing a cationic silicone emulsion.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Human hair is soiled by contact with the surrounding environment and by the sebum secreted by the scalp. Dirt on the hair causes a dirty feel and an unaesthetic appearance. Hair stains require regular and frequent shampooing. Shampoo cleanses the hair by removing excess dirt and sebum.
However, shampoos can leave the hair moist, tangled and generally awkward. Once the hair dries, the natural oils and other natural conditioning and moisturizing components of the hair are removed, often leaving the hair damp, rough, dull or shredded. Further, if the hair is left to have an increased level of static electricity due to drying, it will be difficult to comb, resulting in what is commonly referred to as "hair splashes" or the undesirable phenomenon of "split ends" (especially Can occur in long hair.

Various methods have been developed to alleviate these post-shampoo problems.
These methods include the application of hair conditioners such as leave-on and rinse-off products after shampooing and hair conditioning shampoos for both cleaning and conditioning hair in a single product. While some consumers prefer the lightness and convenience of shampoos containing conditioners, a significant percentage of consumers apply it to their hair as a separate step from shampoo, usually after shampoo. They prefer more conventional conditioner formulations. Conditioning formulations can be in the form of rinse-off or leave-on products, and can be in the form of emulsions, creams, gels, sprays and mousses. Consumers who prefer conventional conditioner formulations appreciate the relatively high conditioning benefits, or the ease with which they can vary the amount of conditioning formulation depending on the amount and condition of the hair.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-7534 discloses a hair conditioning composition containing a cationic surfactant and an emulsion-polymerized silicone emulsion. It is disclosed that the composition provides the hair with a shine, smoothness, softness and free-moving feel. It is also well known that hair conditioner compositions that typically provide the above benefits also bring down the hair. For consumers who desire volume up of hair, such as consumers with fine hair, the volume down effect of hair is undesirable. The term "hair volume up" as used herein is not equivalent to hair splash. Splashed hair is due to an increase in the level of static electricity, and represents a very small increase in volume throughout the hair, which is undesirable. On the other hand, hair volume up as used herein relates to increasing the bulk volume of hair. While consumers with fine hair desire volume up of the hair, they also desire control of unwanted hair splashes. As mentioned above, it is still desirable to provide a hair conditioning composition that provides volume up of the hair while not degrading conditioning benefits such as softness, moisturization, and hair splash control. It is also desirable to provide such a hair conditioning composition while having sufficient malleability on the hair and maintaining an acceptable rheology as produced by a convenient manufacturing process. No technology provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention.

The present invention relates to hair conditioning compositions comprising: (a) about 1 to about 20% by weight of a cationic silicone emulsion, a cationic surfactant, and less than 50 microns. From about 0.1 to about 20% by weight of a cationic silicone emulsion containing an emulsifiable amount of a silicone compound having a particle size of; Group compounds; (c) about 0.1-10% by weight of a cationic conditioning agent; and (d) an aqueous carrier. These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reading the present disclosure.

By-products are not included.

(Cationic Silicone Emulsion) The hair conditioning composition of the present invention contains a cationic silicone emulsion. The cationic silicone emulsion herein is a predispersed stable emulsion containing at least a cationic surfactant, a silicone compound, and water. While the cationic silicone emulsions herein increase the overall bulk volume of the hair, they do not diminish conditioning benefits such as controlling hair splash. It is of particular importance in the present invention that the cationic surfactant be present in the silicone emulsion rather than in the entire composition. Cationic surfactants are generally included in the entire conditioning composition for hair conditioning benefits such as controlling hair splatter, but can also reduce the bulk volume of the hair. Surprisingly, when the cationic surfactant is contained in the silicone emulsion, a significant improvement in increasing the bulk volume of the hair compared to when the same amount of cationic surfactant is contained throughout the composition. It became clear that was seen.
