Acrylic hair fixatives and methods of making same

摘要

Methods of preparing a homogeneous solution of a partially-neutralized acrylic polymer in a solvent system comprising greater than 50 weight percent water and 0 to less than 50 weight percent of an organic solvent are disclosed, wherein the homogeneous solution of the partially-neutralized acrylic polymer has pH and viscosity which are effective for use in acrylic hair fixative compositions. Also disclosed are methods of preparing an acrylic hair fixative composition, which methods include preparing the homogeneous solution of the partially-neutralized acrylic polymer as above. Also disclosed are acrylic hair fixative compositions which contain the partially-neutralized acrylic polymer, water and, optionally, one or more of an organic solvent, a propellant and an emulsifier.
