Methods and compositions for preventing or reducing hair frizz. The compositions are preferably oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions comprise at least one polysiloxane fluid component selected from an amodimethicone and a polysiloxane component comprising a plurality of hindered amine side chains. The compositions also comprise a silicone-compatible, volatile or non-volatile liquid carrier component, preferably comprising a component selected from a low molecular weight, volatile siloxy component; a hydrocarbon; and an alcohol. The compositions are preferably combing cremes, sprays or mousses, and are suitable for use a “leave-in” hair care product, or as a touch-up hair care product suitable for use during the day.

Cosmetic compositions, systems and methods for conferring responsive durable shaping of keratinous fibers employ at least one shape memory polymer that includes a three-armed branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) based polymer that is functionalized with one or more metal-coordination active groups. The shape memory polymer forms a crosslinked network coating on a substrate, for example a substrate selected from keratinous substrates, for example, hair. Hair coated with the shape memory polymer and treated with an oxidizing agent can be shaped, locked into shape, and reprogrammed by modulation of pH. The coated hair retains durable shaping properties through at least one shampoo treatment. The cosmetic compositions, systems and methods provide durable and reprogrammable durable shaping of the keratinous substrate, for example for styling hair.

The present invention is in the field of personal care compositions, in particular compositions comprising antiperspirant actives. The present invention more particularly relates to compositions which do not contain the conventional and well established metal based actives, yet exhibit similar efficacy. This is achieved through use of a combination of a film forming polymer, a specific solvent and a particulate filler.
