摘要 |
A heat activated hair curling treatment composition containing an effective amount of a certain linear or branched or crosslinked water soluble polyethylene oxide polymer having a melting point of 50 DEG to 80 DEG C. and a molecular weight in a range of from 50,000 to 250,000 for the linear polymers and from about 20,000 to 250,000 for the branched or crosslinked polymers. The composition may be formulated into aerosols or pump sprays and facilitates long lasting hair styling without damaging hair. The polymer is exposed to heat from a curling iron which causes it to melt thereby imparting a curl to the hair. The composition is comprised of the polyethylene oxide polymer, optionally, at least one surfactant, and a cosmetically acceptable solvent such as water, ethanol and mixtures thereof.
