(57) Summary The present invention relates to hair styling compositions, and more particularly to hair spray compositions. These compositions comprise a silicone-containing adhesive copolymer and a solvent for the copolymer selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol and mixtures thereof. Spray composition, when dried, cohesive strength greater than about 0.5 kgf / mm 2, has a total energy absorption per unit volume greater than about 0.55kgfmm / mm 3, preferably at impact strength above about 7000ergs Have. The hair spray compositions of the present invention also have a hair stiffness of 0 to about 3.5 (0 to 4 scale) and 0 to 3.5 (0 to 4) as determined by the removal ability methodology defined herein. Results in improved removal from hair as defined by the hair flaking value of the scale. |
