Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is related to a hair styling composition and process for styling keratin fibers, especially for hair. The object of the present invention is an aerosol composition for keratin fibers, especially for hair, based on an aqueous, aqueous-alcoholic or alcoholic medium comprising at least one natural starch and at least one propellant. Compositions according to present invention can furthermore comprise at least one film forming polymer, one or more surfactant, UV filter and direct hair dye.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for styling hair, the process comprising: applying an aerosol composition onto one hair selected from wet hair and dry hair, wherein the aerosol composition comprises: an aqueous, aqueous—alcoholic or alcoholic medium; a natural rice starch present at a concentration of 0.1 to 25% by weight calculated to total composition excluding propellant; at least one propellant; one or more film forming polymer, selected from VP/VA copolymer, Acrylates/Octylacrylamide copolymer, Polyquaternium-16, and Acrylates/t-butylacrylamide copolymer, at a concentration of 0.1 to 20% by weight calculated to total composition excluding propellant, and a polyethyleneglycol ether of fatty acid glyceride or partial glyceride with polyethyleneglycol units in a range from 30 to 1000, wherein the aerosol composition is an aerosol foam composition; and styling the one hair without rinsing off the aerosol composition. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the propellant is at least one propellant selected from n-butane, i-butane, butane, propane, 1,1 difluoroethane, tetrafluoroethane and dimethylether or mixtures thereof. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises at least one synthetic or natural oil present at a concentration of 0.1 to 40% by weight, calculated to total concentration excluding propellant. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises at least one wax present at a concentration of 0.01 to 20% by weight, calculated to total concentration excluding propellant. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises an organic solvent. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises at least one surfactant selected from anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, non-ionic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants. 7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises at least one UV filter. 8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the aerosol composition further comprises at least one direct dye. 9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more film-forming polymer is present at a concentration of between 2 to 10 wt. %, calculated to the total composition excluding propellant. 10. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethyleneglycol ether of fatty acid glyceride or partial glyceride is selected from the group consisting of PEG-45 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-50 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-55 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-65 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-80 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-100 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-200 hydrogenated castor oil, PEG-50 castor oil, PEG-55 castor oil, PEG-60 castor oil, PEG-80 castor oil, PEG-100 castor oil and PEG-200 castor oil. 11. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the polyethyleneglycol ether of fatty acid glyceride or partial glyceride is present at a concentration from 0.01 to 5 wt. %, calculated to the total composition excluding propellant. 12. The process according to claim 11 , wherein the polyethyleneglycol ether of fatty acid glyceride or partial glyceride is PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. 13. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the polyethyleneglycol ether of fatty acid glyceride or partial glyceride is present at a concentration from 0.1 to 1 wt. %, calculated to the total composition excluding propellant. 14. The process according to claim 1 , further comprising: restyling the styled hair, with or without wetting, to give the styled hair a new style.
