(57) Summary A hair care composition contains polypropylene glycol and a gel matrix. The polypropylene glycol is selected from single polypropylene glycol chain segment polymers, multiple polypropylene glycol chain segment polymers, and mixtures thereof. A single polypropylene glycol chain segment polymer is represented by the following formula: HO— (C 3 H 6 O) a H, where a is a number from about 20 to about 100. The multi-polypropylene glycol chain segment polymer is represented by the following formula (III): Wherein n is a number from about 0 to about 10, each R is independently selected from the group consisting of H and C 1 -C 30 alkyl, and each b is independently a number from about 0 to about 2. C and d are independently a number from about 0 to about 2, b + c + d is at least about 2, each e is independently a number 0 or 1, and each x, y, and z is independent And about 7 to about 100, and x + y + z is greater than about 20. The gel matrix contains a cationic surfactant, a solid aliphatic compound, and water. |
