Composition for fast dry of hair

Abstract:

The present invention discloses a hair conditioner composition comprising a) from about 0.15% to about 16% moisture control material or mixtures of moisture control materials wherein one or more moisture control material is selected from the group containing: i. Class I Moisture Control Material having the structure selected from: ##STR00001## wherein R' is --COOY, sulfonic acid, or --C.dbd.CH--COOY, Y is hydrogen or a metal ion, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 is hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, vinyl, allyl, methoxy, ethoxy, hydroxyl, halogen, sulfate, sulfonate, nitro, or --CH.dbd.CH--COOR, and wherein the moisture control material is an acidic material and further wherein the moisture control material has a % Protein binding higher than 20 and Molecular Volume lower than 500 and Partition coefficient octanol to water (log P) lower than 3 and hydrogen binding higher than 10 and pKa lower than 5.0; ii. Class IIa having the structure selected from: ##STR00002## wherein R is hydrogen or metal ion, R.sub.6 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, alkenyl or phenyl having less than 12 carbon atoms and wherein R.sub.7, R.sub.8, R.sub.9, R.sub.10, R.sub.11, R.sub.12 are hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, hydroxyl, methoxy or ethoxy groups; iii. Class IIb having the structure selected from: ##STR00003## an alcohol wherein R13 is an alkyl, alkenyl, straight or branched carbon chains and; and wherein R14 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkyl, methyl, ethyl and propyl wherein the structure of such alcohol contains less than 20 total carbon atoms; iv. Class IIc being an alcohol comprising an unsaturated double bond in the C2 position; v. Class IId being an alkyl-substituted glycol wherein the structure of such alkyl substituted glycol contains less than 20 carbon atoms; vi. Class IIe being a monoalkyl or dialkyl substituted glycerin or mono- or di-esters of glycerin with fatty acids wherein the structure of such monoalkyl- or dialkyl-substituted glycerin or glycerin esters contains less than 20 total carbon atoms; vii. Class IIf having a structure the structure selected from: ##STR00004## wherein R.sub.15 could be hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl group and wherein the structure of the R.sub.13 group contains less than 20 carbon atoms; viii. Class IIg being a fatty acid ester containing from 15-40 total carbon atoms; and wherein the moisture control material of Class II is weakly to non-acidic and further wherein the moisture control material of Class II has protein binding higher than 10 and molecular volume lower than 1500 and log P higher than 0.5 and pKa of 5 or higher and hydrogen-binding higher than 4; b) from about 0.1% to about 12% of one or more silicone material wherein at least one of the silicone materials is curable or cross-linkable upon the application of the conditioner on the hair or during hair drying; c) from about 70% to about 98% of an aqueous carrier.
