Description

Hair conditioner composition

The present invention relates to a hair conditioner composition having an excellent hair conditioning effect and easy to apply to hair, and more particularly, containing a cationic surfactant, a higher fatty alcohol, an aromatic alcohol, and excellent hair moisturizing and gloss. The present invention relates to a conditioner composition for hair that has a conditioning effect and is capable of maintaining a formulation that is easy to apply to hair.

In general, shampoos clean hair by removing contaminants such as excess oil and dirt. However, in general, after the use of the shampoo in the wet state of the hair is a lot of tangling and can not be cleaned. In addition, due to excessive degreasing after shampooing, the lack of moisturizing and natural oils of the hair causes swelling and hair blowing during drying. In addition, recently, consumers are demanding an easy-to-apply hair conditioner so that the effect can be evenly applied to the hair, with excellent conditioning effects that can stop the deepening of the damage due to increased hair damage due to dyeing and perm. It is a trend.

Generally, the hair conditioner maintains the proper viscosity and creamy formulation by the structure composed of cationic surfactant, higher fatty alcohol and oil, replenishes the oil of hair removed after shampooing and cationic on the surface of the anionic hair. The surfactant adsorbs to prevent hair damage and static electricity, making it easier to manage both wet and dry hair. Hair conditioners to provide the above functions are mainly prepared using long chain quaternary ammonium compounds, fatty alcohols and hydrocarbon oils. The long-chain quaternary ammonium cationic surfactants, higher fatty alcohols and hydrocarbon oils give the hair a gloss, moist and softness. However, these additives only increase the viscosity of the formulation and do not provide satisfactory ease of application to the hair, but rather have a stiff feeling when applying the hair.

Thus, there is a demand from consumers for conditioners having formulations that are easy to apply to hair with improved conditioning effects. Specifically, when the hair is dried, there is a need for an excellent conditioning effect to impart moisture and gloss to hair and to prevent tangling in the wet state, and to easily apply the formulation to the hair.

In the present invention, by containing an aromatic alcohol in the hair conditioner composition, to provide a hair conditioner composition prepared to maintain a formulation that is easy to apply to the hair while excellent in the hair conditioning effect, such as moisturizing, gloss of the hair.

1 shows the friction force measurement results of the conditioners.
