Abstract

A hair conditioning composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 20% of a lipid being one or more unsaturated fatty material selected from a group consisting of an unsaturated fatty acid; an unsaturated fatty alcohol; an unsaturated amine; an unsaturated amide; and an unsaturated phospholipid; wherein the molecule of said unsaturated fatty material comprises a linear or branched carbon chain with 8 to 24 carbon atoms, and one carbon-carbon double bond in a position of the said carbon chain between position C3 and position omega for the unsaturated fatty acid or unsaturated amide and between position C2 and position omega for the unsaturated fatty alcohol, unsaturated amine or unsaturated phospholipid and wherein the LogP of said unsaturated fatty material is less than 7; and 0.1% to 20% of one or more lipid enhancing agent selected from the group comprising of a fatty acid monoester of a polyol wherein the molecule of the fatty acid component of such monoester contains a linear or branched carbon chain with 10 to 22 carbon atoms and wherein the fatty acid monoester of a polyol has a logP of less than 7; a saturated fatty alcohol wherein the molecule of the fatty alcohol contains a linear or branched carbon chain with 8 to 22 carbon atoms; an ester of a saturated fatty alcohol wherein the molecule of said ester contains 10 to 44 total carbon atoms; an alcohol wherein the molecule of such alcohol contains an aromatic ring.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for replenishing internal hair lipids in hair fibers by using a hair conditioning composition comprising:
a) from about 0.1% to about 20% of oleic acid;
b) from about 0.1% to about 20% of glyceryl monooleate;
wherein a combination ratio of Component (a) to (b) is from 1:1 to 2.5:1.

2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the pH of the hair conditioning compositions is from about 3 to about 9.

3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the pH of the hair conditioning compositions is from about 4 to about 6.

4. A method according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises a silicone.

5. A method according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises materials selected from the group consisting of conditioning materials, organic conditioning materials, solvents, rheology modifier, suspending agent, thickeners, hair health actives, anti-dandruff actives, anti-oxidants, pigments, abrasives, absorbents, biological actives, buffering agents, chelating agents, opacifying agents, pH adjusters, vitamins, chelants, perfumes, brighteners, enzymes, sensates, attractants, anti-bacterial agents, dyes, bleaches and mixtures thereof.

6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises a cationic surfactant system.

7. A method according to claim 1 further comprising materials selected from the group consisting of niacinamide, caffeine, histidine and mixtures thereof.

8. A method according to claim 1 further comprising panthenol.

9. A method according to claim 1 further comprising palmitoleic acid.

10. A method according to claim 1 wherein the hair conditioning composition provides a reduction in combining force (gf) as compared to untreated hair.
