HAIR TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN AND POLYQUATERNIUM-6

摘要

Charged protein-polymer complexes that bind to human hair are formed byreactingPolyquaternium-6 with hydrolyzed wheat protein PG-propyl silanetriol. Thecomplexes can bedelivered to the hair as a pre-treatment prior to applying a hair careproduct. Alternatively, thecomplexes may be incorporated into a hair care or makeup composition, such asa mascara,shampoo or conditioner for simultaneous application to the hair. Oncedeposited on the hair, theprotein-polymer complex does not wash or rinse out after several attempts. Theprotein-polymercomplexes have the effect of repairing and/or protecting the cuticles of thehair from damageassociated with use of makeup or treatment products, treatment regimens andenvironmentalaggressors. Some embodiments of the invention include polylysine and/or one ormore filmforming agents that further enhance the protein complex.
