Abstract:
Treatment compositions including a polycarbodiimide together with a carboxysilicone polymer to enhance the quality of keratinous substrates. Treatment compositions and processes related thereto for treating keratinous substrates, in particular for hair-care, where, according to the process, the polycarbodiimide and carboxysilicone polymer actives may be applied in a treatment that is a single step emulsion or at least two sequential steps. The composition includes 0.5 to 40.0%, by weight, of the composition of a combined amount of the polycarbodiimide and the carboxysilicone polymer in amounts sufficient to impart hydrophobicity to keratinous substrates, including hair fibers, upon application thereto. It is in particular a treatment composition and process for imparting lasting protection and for improving damaged hair by enhancing the hair's hydrophobicity, thereby enhancing retention of curl, making the make hair easier to comb, and improving the feel thereof.
