A hair treatment composition in a anionic, nonionic or amphoteric system includes water and a novel association of polysaccharide, such as inulin, and a film-forming polymer, such as polysilicone-29. The composition may include one or more additional components selected from polymers such as anionic polymers and nonionic polymers, amphoteric surfactants, or fatty compounds, embodied to deliver one or more of smoothing, straightening and curling/curl defining style features to achieve a particular straight or curly style with frizz control, softness and manageability.

The invention relates to the use of a polyurethane urea on hair for improving the water resistance of the hairstyle obtained by shaping the hair, which polyurethane urea is obtained by reacting at least a) a polyisocyanate component, b) a polymer polyol component, c) a hydrophilic component, and d) an amino functional chain extender component, wherein the polyisocyanate component comprises a) 75% mol-% isophorone diamine (IPDI) and the amino functional chain extender component comprises c) 75 mol-% isophorone diamine (IPDA).

Methods, formulations, and kits for curling and/or preventing damage in the curling of hair are disclosed herein. Hair can be curled by treatment with hydroxide-containing agents, in combination with one or more active agents, without the need for thiol-based or peroxide-based agents. The active agent can be applied simultaneously with the hydroxide-containing agent, to impart curl to the hair. They may be applied as a combined formulation or as separate formulations applied simultaneously. Use of the active agent along with a hydroxide-containing agent can be used to control the level of curl imparted to hair, as compared to the natural amount of curl, if any, in the untreated hair.
