A method of treating the hair including providing a concentrated hair care composition in a foam dispenser. The concentrated hair care composition includes one or more silicones, perfume, and less than 6% high melting point fatty compounds. The method also includes dispensing the concentrated hair care composition from the foam dispenser as a dosage of foam; applying the foam to the hair; and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm.sup.3 to about 0.40 g/cm.sup.3 when dispensed from the foam dispenser. The one or more silicones form a silicone layer that has a Targeted Deposition Index of from about 0.8 to about 1.6.

The present invention relates to a damaged hair improving agent, comprising: (A) an ester compound made from dipentaerythritol and at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of fatty acids having 5 to 16 carbon atoms, wherein the molar ratio of dipentaerythritol residue to the fatty acid (having 5 to 16 carbon atoms) residue ranges from 1.0:3.0 to 1.0:6.0, and one or more substances selected from the group consisting of (B) an ester compound having a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 16 to 18 carbon atoms wherein hydrogen atoms on these groups are optionally replaced with hydroxyl groups, and a viscosity of 2,000 mPa.Math.s or less at 25° C. (exclusive of the component (A)), (C) an alcohol having a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 16 to 18 carbon atoms and a viscosity of 2,000 mPa.Math.s or less at 25° C., and (D) hydrocarbon oil having at least 20 carbon atoms. The damaged hair improving agent imparts sleek fell to damaged hair and reduces gritty feel of the damaged hair to impart smooth feel to the damaged hair.

Technologies are generally described for a method and compounds for managing dag on hair. The method of managing dag on hair includes applying a low energy compound including a silicone and a terminal reactive group to the hair and applying a hair binding moiety to the hair for functionalizing the low energy compound, at its terminal reactive group, to bind to the hair. The applied low energy compound enables ease of removal of dag from the hair or mitigation of dag formation on the hair. The functionalized low energy compound may be made prior to the application to the hair.

Compositions are described that include an oil, a surfactant, and optionally a charged polymer complex, where the composition may also include an aqueous phase to provide a microemulsion. Methods of manufacturing the compositions are also described, along with methods of using the compositions in home care and personal care.

The present disclosure relates to an active ingredient composition for the care of human hair. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic agent for treating a keratinous material comprising a) at least one organic silicon compound and b) pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid or a salt of pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid, the cosmetic agent being particularly suitable for caring for stressed hair.

Disclosed the use of gelatin or deeply processed gelatin materials in the preparation of hair quality-improving compositions.

The present invention relates to hair care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of using such hair care compositions. Such hair care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesirable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduly altered by the malodor control technology.

A transparent cosmetic or personal care composition comprising: a) a polymeric thickener, b) a protein, c) an active material, which is selected from disaccharides, lactones, inorganic salts, diacids and mixtures thereof, d) a solubiliser, e) a pH adjuster, f) a dye g) water wherein the solubiliser comprises a mixture of at least two components, said mixture comprising at least one high HLB component having an HLB value of from 10 to 20 and at least one low HLB component having an HLB value of from 1 to less than 10, and wherein the dye comprises violet, blue, red or mixtures thereof.

The disclosure relates to compositions for treating keratinous substrates, such as the hair, comprising monoethanolamine and at least one carboxylic acid, as well as systems and methods for treating keratinous substrates with the compositions.

In one aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a protein-containing surface, including applying to the surface a microcapsule suspension including droplets of a dispersed water-immiscible core phase, an aqueous continuous phase, and a wall surrounding each core phase droplet, the wall including the salt formed from at least one amphiphilic Lewis acid reactant or amphiphilic Lewis base reactant, and at least one corresponding Lewis base reactant or Lewis acid reactant.
