Description

EXAMPLES

Example 1

[0250] Compositions (A1), (A2), (A3), (A4), (A5), (A6) and (A7) were prepared using the ingredients of which the contents, expressed as weight percentage of active material, relative to the total weight of each composition, are mentioned in the table below.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 A1 A4 A6 (inv) A2 A3 (inv) A5 (inv) A7 Ammonium 0.84 0.84− 0.84 0.84 polyacryloyldimethyltaurate (Hostacerin AMPS ®) Polyquaternium-67 1.16 1.16 (Softcat polymer SL-100) Polyquaternium-10 1.16 1.16 Polyquaternium-4 1.16 1.16 Sodium chloride 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Vinyl 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 acetate/vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (Luviskol VA 64 from BASF) pH Agent, qs pH 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 3.5 Water qs 100 g 100 g 100 g 100 g 100 g 100 g 100 g

[0251] Each of compositions (A1) to (A7) thus obtained was applied to locks of natural hair weighing 2.7 g, prewashed with a DOP shampoo, in a proportion of 1 g of composition per lock.

[0252] After a leave-on time of approximately 15 seconds, the locks of hair were rinsed with water for 15 seconds. The locks are then toweled dry and then deposited flat and left to air dry.

[0253] At the outcome of this treatment, the fixing and hold of the shape were evaluated on dry hair, by 6 trained experts: [0254] The fixing was evaluated by exerting a pressure on the lock between two fingers of a hand: the more difficult it is to fold the lock of hair, the stronger the fixing. [0255] The hold was evaluated by subjecting the lock to 3 passes of the fingers from the root to the end: the more the lock retains its initial structure after the passing of the fingers, the greater the hold.

[0256] These two parameters are graded from 0 to 5. The minimum limit of these two parameters is acquired after wetting a non-treated lock with water: the fixing and also the hold are zero. The maximum limit is obtained after application to a lock of the Vivelle Dop Concrete Force fixing styling gel: its fixing and hold parameters are each 5 out of 5.
