[0331] According to Tables 1 and 2 above, Examples 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5 were prepared based on the following protocol:

[0332] A tank contained water. Polyacrylate-3 was added to the tank and the ingredients in the tank were mixed until uniform. Then, a neutralizing agent was added, at which point the batch thickened and turned clear. Surfactants and polymers, including acrylates copolymer and polyurethane-34, were added to the batch. Then, additional surfactants and aminofunctional silicones were added to the batch in Examples 1-3; additional surfactants and non-aminofunctional silicones were added to the batch in Comparative Example 4; and additional surfactants were added to the batch in Comparative Example 5. Solvents, preservatives, and other additional components were added to the batch. The batch was mixed between the additions until it was uniform. Each of the compositions containing propellants (isobutane and propane) was packaged in respective vacuum-sealed pressurized cans; propellants were released through a valve into the vacuum-sealed pressurized cans, wherein the propellants and composition could mix together.

[0333] Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5 were then applied to corresponding locks of wet hair and hair on mannequin heads. A panel of experts evaluated the compositions based on ease of application and distribution on the hair. The panel of experts also evaluated the locks of hair based on hair volume, feel of the hair, and conditioning effects. The treated locks of hair were then blow dried with a round brush, and the panel of experts evaluated the dry treated hair based on the same criteria.

[0334] Examples 1, 2, and 3, provided great conditioning properties in both wet and dry stages while maintaining a clean feel and high resistance to humidity. The hair locks treated with Examples 1, 2, and 3 had a clean, natural, and/or invisible feel and a lack of stickiness.

[0335] In contrast, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 did not provide desirable hair care benefits. Specifically, the hair treated with Comparative Example 4 was heavy and had low volume and a greasy feel. Comparative Example 5 imparted a dry and super clean feel to the hair, which led to difficult application and distribution of the product, dryness, and static in the hair. Further, Comparative Examples 4 and 5 did not provide conditioning effects after the treated hair locks were blow dried.

[0336] Both examples 6 and 7 imparted to hair a natural/clean feel (no residue, no flaking, not sticky), a touchable feel, frizz control, long lasting natural shape control and lightweight feel to the hair (did not give a heavy feeling to the hair).

[0337] Example 6 provided to the hair more flexible hold and additional shine while providing a hold that resulted in a textured look.

[0338] Example 7 provided a strong hold and enhanced the natural waves and curls of the hair.
