摘要:
Disclosed herein is an aqueous hair care composition capable of providing durable non-permanent hair styling and/or wash-resistant retention of shape of hair fibers comprising a polyelectrolyte complex having a gel matrix structure or a mixture of gel matrix and microgel formed by electrostatic attraction, wherein the polyelectrolyte complex comprises a complex between: (A) about 0.01 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of at least one anionic polymer containing monoacid, diacid, triacid, half-acid/half-ester, acid anhydride functionality, or salts thereof having a molecular weight of from about 100,000 Daltons to about 5000,000 Daltons; and (B) about 0.1 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of at least one cationic or pseudo cationic polymer having a (i) molecular weight range of about 80,000 Daltons to about 5,000,000 Daltons, and (ii) a charge density of less than about 4.0 meg/gram, and wherein, the charge ratio of (B):(A) is more than about 0.70.
