The invention relates to opaque hair conditioner compositions that have a lamellar dispersion in the internal aqueous phase and which are water in oil emulsions that comprise: a) about 40 to 95 % aqueous phase comprising (i) water and (ii) a cationic surfactant, capable of forming lamellar dispersion, present at about 0.1 to about 10 % of the auqueous phase; b) about 0.5 to about 30 % oil, comprising a volatile silicone compound, a nonvolatile silicone compound, a volatile hydrocarbon compound, a nonvolatile hydrocarbon compound, or a mixture thereof; c) about 0.1 to about 20 % silicone surfactant; and d) optionally di-long chain alkyl amines having C10 to C22 carbon chains, long chain fatty alcohols having C10 to C22 carbon chains, or ethoxylated fatty alcohols. |
