Description

WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 1 HAIR CONDITIONING COMPOSITION COMPRISING HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED CATIONIC CELLULOSE 5 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hair conditioning composition containing 10 a hydrophobically modified cationic cellulose. BACKGROUND Human hair becomes soiled due to its contact with the surrounding environment and from the sebum secreted by the scalp. The soiling of hair causes it to have a dirty feel and an unattractive appearance. The soiling of the 15 hair necessitates shampooing with frequent regularity. Shampooing cleans the hair by removing excess soil and sebum. However, shampooing can leave the hair in a wet, tangled, and generally unmanageable state. Once the hair dries, it is often left in a dry, rough, lusterless, or frizzy condition due to removal of the hair's natural oils and other 20 natural conditioning and moisturizing components. The hair can further be left with increased levels of static upon drying, which can interfere with combing and result in a condition commonly referred to as "fly-away hair", or contribute to an undesirable phenomena of "split ends", particularly for long hair. A variety of approaches have been developed to condition the hair. 25 These approaches range from post-shampoo application of hair conditioners such as leave-on and rinse-off products, to hair conditioning shampoos which attempt to both clean and condition the hair from a single product. Although some consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo which includes conditioners, a substantial proportion of consumers 30 prefer the more conventional conditioner formulations which are applied to the hair as a separate step from shampooing, usually subsequent to shampooing. Conditioning formulations can be in the form of rinse-off products or leave-on products, and can be in the form of an emulsion, cream, gel, spray, and mousse. Such consumers who prefer the conventional conditioner formulations value the WO 01/34103 PCTIUS99/26511 2 relatively higher conditioning effect, or convenience of changing the amount of conditioning depending on the condition of hair or amount of hair. A common method of providing conditioning benefit to the hair is through the use of hair conditioning agents such as cationic surfactants and polymers, 5 high melting point fatty compounds, low melting point oils, silicone compounds, and mixtures thereof. Most of these conditioning agents are known to provide various conditioning benefits such as moisturized feel, softness, and static control to the hair, however, are also known to weigh down the hair and provide stickiness or greasy or waxy feeling. 10 Hair conditioning compositions comprising the conditioning agent described above, can provide conditioning benefits such as softness and moisturized feel on dry hair, however, also weigh down the hair. The weighed down hair gives an appearance of reduced bulk hair volume. For consumers who desire hair volume-up such as consumers having fine hair, the effect of hair 15 weighing down is not desirable. The term "hair volume-up" as used herein is not equal to fly-away hair. Fly-away hair is due to the increased level of static, and represents volume increase of only very minor amount of the hair as a whole, and is not desirable. On the other hand, hair volume-up as used herein relates to increase of the bulk of the hair volume. Consumers having fine hair have the 20 desire to achieve hair volume-up while controlling undesirable fly-away of the hair. Based on the foregoing, there remains a desire to provide hair conditioning compositions which provide hair volume-up while not deteriorating conditioning benefits such as softness, moisturized feel, and fly-away control. 25 None of the existing art provides all of the advantages and benefits of the present invention. SUMMARY The present invention is directed to a hair conditioning composition comprising by weight: 30 (a) from about 0.1% to about 5% of a hydrophobically modified cationic cellulose having the following formula: WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 3 C 0 n O3 CH3 m' 3 wherein R 1 is an alkyl having from about 8 to about 22 carbons, n is an integer from 1 to about 4,000; x is 0 or an integer from 1 to about 6; y is the level of cationic substitution from 0.1 to 1.0; and having a molecular 5 weight of no more than about 1,000,000; (b) from about 0.01% to about 20% of a conditioning agent; and (c) an aqueous carrier, wherein the hair conditioning composition increases bulk hair volume by a Volume Index of 20 or greater as measured by Instron Volume Measurement 10 Method. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become evident to those skilled in the art from a reading of the present disclosure. 15 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the invention, it is believed that the present invention will be better understood from the following description of preferred, nonlimiting embodiments and representations taken in conjunction with the accompanying 20 drawings in which: Fig. 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of the Instron Volume Measurement Equipment.

The cationic polymer useful herein is described below. As used herein, the term "polymer" shall include materials whether made by polymerization of one type of monomer or made by two (i.e., copolymers) or more types of 15 monomers. Preferably, the cationic polymer is a water-soluble cationic polymer. By "water soluble" cationic polymer, what is meant is a polymer which is sufficiently soluble in water to form a substantially clear solution to the naked eye at a concentration of 0.1% in water (distilled or equivalent) at 25*C. The preferred 20 polymer will be sufficiently soluble to form a substantially clear solution at 0.5% concentration, more preferably at 1.0% concentration. The cationic polymers hereof will generally have a weight average molecular weight which is at least about 5,000, typically at least about 10,000, and is less than about 10 million. Preferably, the molecular weight is from about 25 100,000 to about 2 million.

Cationic charge density of the cationic polymer can be determined according to the Kjeldahl Method. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the charge density of amino-containing polymers may vary depending upon pH and the isoelectric point of the amino groups. The charge density should be within the above limits 35 at the pH of intended use.

WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 17 Any anionic counterions can be utilized for the cationic polymers so long as the water solubility criteria is met. Suitable counterions include halides (e.g., Cl, Br, I, or F, preferably Cl, Br, or 1), sulfate, and methylsulfate. Others can also be used, as this list is not exclusive. 5 The cationic nitrogen-containing moiety will be present generally as a substituent, on a fraction of the total monomer units of the cationic hair conditioning polymers. Thus, the cationic polymer can comprise copolymers, terpolymers, etc. of quaternary ammonium or cationic amine-substituted monomer units and other non-cationic units referred to herein as spacer 10 monomer units. Such polymers are known in the art, and a variety can be found in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, 3rd edition, edited by Estrin, Crosley, and Haynes, (The Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, Inc., Washington, D.C., 1982). Suitable cationic polymers include, for example, copolymers of vinyl 15 monomers having cationic amine or quaternary ammonium functionalities with water soluble spacer monomers such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, alkyl and dialkyl acrylamides, alkyl and dialkyl methacrylamides, alkyl acrylate, alkyl methacrylate, vinyl caprolactone, and vinyl pyrrolidone. The alkyl and dialkyl substituted monomers preferably have C 1 - C 7 alkyl groups, more preferably C 1 20 - C 3 alkyl groups. Other suitable spacer monomers include vinyl esters, vinyl alcohol (made by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate), maleic anhydride, propylene glycol, and ethylene glycol. The cationic amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary amines, depending upon the particular species and the pH of the composition. In 25 general, secondary and tertiary amines, especially tertiary amines, are preferred. Amine-substituted vinyl monomers can be polymerized in the amine form, and then optionally can be converted to ammonium by a quaternization reaction. Amines can also be similarly quaternized subsequent to formation of the polymer. For example, tertiary amine functionalities can be quaternized by 30 reaction with a salt of the formula R'X wherein R' is a short chain alkyl, preferably a C 1 - C 7 alkyl, more preferably a C 1 - C 3 alkyl, and X is an anion which forms a water soluble salt with the quaternized ammonium.

Silicone compound 25 The silicone compound can be included in the composition at a level by weight of, preferably from about 0.1% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.25% to about 8%, still more preferably from about 0.5% to about 3%. The silicone compounds hereof can include volatile soluble or insoluble, or nonvolatile soluble or insoluble silicone conditioning agents. By soluble what is 30 meant is that the silicone compound is miscible with the carrier of the composition so as to form part of the same phase. By insoluble what is meant is that the silicone forms a separate, discontinuous phase from the carrier, such as in the form of an emulsion or a suspension of droplets of the silicone. The WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 20 silicone compounds herein may be made by conventional polymerization, or emulsion polymerization. The silicone compounds for use herein will preferably have a viscosity of from about 1,000 to about 2,000,000 centistokes at 250C, more preferably from 5 about 10,000 to about 1,800,000, and even more preferably from about 25,000 to about 1,500,000. The viscosity can be measured by means of a glass capillary viscometer as set forth in Dow Corning Corporate Test Method CTMOO04, July 20, 1970, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Silicone compound of high molecular weight may be made by emulsion polymerization. 10 Silicone compounds useful herein include polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkyleneoxide-modified siloxanes, silicone resins, amino-substituted siloxanes, and mixtures thereof. The silicone compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkyleneoxide modified siloxanes, silicone resins, and mixtures thereof, and more preferably 15 from one or more polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes. Polyalkyl polyaryl siloxanes useful here in include those with the following structure (I) R R R 20 wherein R is alkyl or aryl, and x is an integer from about 7 to about 8,000. "A" represents groups which block the ends of the silicone chains. The alkyl or aryl groups substituted on the siloxane chain (R) or at the ends of the siloxane chains (A) can have any structure as long as the resulting silicone remains fluid at room 25 temperature, is dispersible, is neither irritating, toxic nor otherwise harmful when applied to the hair, is compatible with the other components of the composition, is chemically stable under normal use and storage conditions, and is capable of being deposited on and conditions the hair. Suitable A groups include hydroxy, methyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, and aryloxy. The two R groups on the silicon 30 atom may represent the same group or different groups. Preferably, the two R groups represent the same group. Suitable R groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, methylphenyl and phenylmethyl. The preferred silicone compounds are polydimethylsiloxane, polydiethylsiloxane, and polymethylphenylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane, which is also known as WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 21 dimethicone, is especially preferred. The polyalkylsiloxanes that can be used include, for example, polydimethylsiloxanes. These silicone compounds are available, for example, from the General Electric Company in their ViscasilR and SF 96 series, and from Dow Corning in their Dow Corning 200 series. 5 Polymethylphenylsiloxanes, for example, from the General Electric Company as SF 1075 methyl phenyl fluid or from Dow Corning as 556 Cosmetic Grade Fluid, are useful herein. Also preferred, for enhancing the shine characteristics of hair, are highly arylated silicone compounds, such as highly phenylated polyethyl silicone having 10 refractive index of about 1.46 or higher, especially about 1.52 or higher. When these high refractive index silicone compounds are used, they should be mixed with a spreading agent, such as a surfactant or a silicone resin, as described below to decrease the surface tension and enhance the film forming ability of the material. 15 Another polyalkyl polyaryl siloxane that can be especially useful is a silicone gum. The term "silicone gum", as used herein, means a polyorganosiloxane material having a viscosity at 25 0 C of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 centistokes. It is recognized that the silicone gums described herein can also have some overlap with the above-disclosed silicone compounds. This 20 overlap is not intended as a limitation on any of these materials. Silicone gums are described by Petrarch, and others including U.S. Patent No. 4,152,416, to Spitzer et al., issued May 1, 1979 and Noll, Walter, Chemistry and Technology of Silicones, New York: Academic Press 1968. Also describing silicone gums are General Electric Silicone Rubber Product Data Sheets SE 30, SE 33, SE 54 and 25 SE 76. All of these described references are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The "silicone gums" will typically have a mass molecular weight in excess of about 200,000, generally between about 200,000 and about 1,000,000. Specific examples include polydimethylsiloxane, poly(dimethylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer, poly(dimethylsiloxane 30 diphenylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane) copolymer and mixtures thereof. Polyalkyleneoxide-modified siloxanes useful herein include, for example, polypropylene oxide modified and polyethylene oxide modified polydimethylsiloxane. The ethylene oxide and polypropylene oxide level should be sufficiently low so as not to interfere with the dispersibility characteristics of 35 the silicone. These material are also known as dimethicone copolyols.

WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 22 Silicone resins, which are highly crosslinked polymeric siloxane systems, are useful herein. The crosslinking is introduced through the incorporation of tri functional and tetra-functional silanes with mono-functional or di-functional, or both, silanes during manufacture of the silicone resin. As is well understood in 5 the art, the degree of crosslinking that is required in order to result in a silicone resin will vary according to the specific silane units incorporated into the silicone resin. In general, silicone materials which have a sufficient level of trifunctional and tetrafunctional siloxane monomer units, and hence, a sufficient level of crosslinking, such that they dry down to a rigid, or hard, film are considered to be 10 silicone resins. The ratio of oxygen atoms to silicon atoms is indicative of the level of crosslinking in a particular silicone material. Silicone materials which have at least about 1.1 oxygen atoms per silicon atom will generally be silicone resins herein. Preferably, the ratio of oxygen:silicon atoms is at least about 1.2:1.0. Silanes used in the manufacture of silicone resins include monomethyl-, 15 dimethyl-, trimethyl-, monophenyl-, diphenyl-, methylphenyl-, monovinyl-, and methylvinylchlorosilanes, and tetrachlorosilane, with the methyl substituted silanes being most commonly utilized. Preferred resins are offered by General Electric as GE SS4230 and SS4267. Commercially available silicone resins will generally be supplied in a dissolved form in a low viscosity volatile or nonvolatile 20 silicone fluid. The silicone resins for use herein should be supplied and incorporated into the present compositions in such dissolved form, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the silicone resins can enhance deposition of other silicone compounds on the hair and can enhance the glossiness of hair with high 25 refractive index volumes. Other useful silicone resins are silicone resin powders such as the material given the CTFA designation polymethylsilsequioxane, which is commercially available as TospearTM from Toshiba Silicones. Silicone resins can conveniently be identified according to a shorthand 30 nomenclature system well known to those skilled in the art as the "MDTQ" nomenclature. Under this system, the silicone is described according to the presence of various siloxane monomer units which make up the silicone. Briefly, the symbol M denotes the mono-functional unit (CH 3

)

3 SiO).

5 ; D denotes the difunctional unit (CH 3

)

2 SiO; T denotes the trifunctional unit (CH 3 )SiO 1 .5; and Q 35 denotes the quadri- or tetra-functional unit SiO 2 . Primes of the unit symbols, WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 23 e.g., M', D', T', and Q' denote substituents other than methyl, and must be specifically defined for each occurrence. Typical alternate substituents include groups such as vinyl, phenyl, amino, hydroxyl, etc. The molar ratios of the various units, either in terms of subscripts to the symbols indicating the total 5 number of each type of unit in the silicone, or an average thereof, or as specifically indicated ratios in combination with molecular weight, complete the description of the silicone material under the MDTQ system. Higher relative molar amounts of T, Q, T' and/or Q' to D, D', M and/or or M' in a silicone resin is indicative of higher levels of crosslinking. As discussed before, however, the 10 overall level of crosslinking can also be indicated by the oxygen to silicon ratio. The silicone resins for use herein which are preferred are MQ, MT, MTQ, MQ and MDTQ resins. Thus, the preferred silicone substituent is methyl. Especially preferred are MQ resins wherein the M:Q ratio is from about 0.5:1.0 to about 1.5:1.0 and the average molecular weight of the resin is from about 1000 15 to about 10,000. Amino-substituted siloxanes useful herein include those represented by the following structure (1l) H3 HO-[- i-O]x--T i-O-]y-H

A preferred polymer of this class is available from Union Carbide under the name "UCAR SILICONE ALE 56." Cationic silicone emulsion 5 The hair conditioning composition of the present invention preferably comprises a cationic silicone emulsion as one of the conditioning agents, which is suitable for increasing in bulk hair volume while not deteriorating conditioning benefits such as fly-away control. The cationic silicone emulsion herein is a pre dispersed stable emulsion, and comprises a cationic surfactant and a silicone 10 compound. In the hair conditioning composition comprising the cationic silicone emulsion, the cationic surfactant is present in the silicone emulsion, and not just in the bulk of the composition. The cationic surfactant and the silicone compound which is useful for comprising the silicone emulsion herein, are selected from the species disclosed 15 above under the titles "Cationic surfactant" and "Silicone compound". The cationic silicone emulsion comprises, by weight of the cationic silicone emulsion, preferably from about 1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 2% to about 8%, of the cationic surfactant; and an emulsifiable amount of the silicone compound, preferably from about 0.1% to about 70%, more preferably 20 from about 5% to about 60%, of the silicone compound. The amount of silicone compound to the entire composition is preferably from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight. The cationic silicone emulsion can be included in the composition at a level by weight of, preferably from about 0.1% to about 20%, more preferably 25 from about 0.5% to about 5%. The cationic silicone emulsion can be made by any convenient method known in the art. For example, the cationic silicone emulsion may be made by mechanical emulsification by taking a polysiloxane polymer and emulsifying it in water in the 30 presence of at least one emulsifying agent using mechanical means such as agitation, shaking and homogenization. The emulsifying agent can be the cationic surfactant comprised in the cationic silicone emulsion, or other suitable surfactant. Mechanical emulsification may require use of two or more surfactants, and two or more mixing processes using different surfactants. Two 35 or more types of silicone compounds, such as a highly viscous silicone WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 26 compound and a low viscosity silicone compound, may be used. One particularly preferred process for obtaining the cationic silicone emulsion of the present invention via mechanical emulsification is through the process disclosed in EP Publication 460,683A, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In 5 this reference, it is disclosed that the emulsion is prepared by combining the polysiloxane, water, and a primary nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of 15-19 to form a first mixture, adding to the first mixture a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic, cationic and anionic surfactants having an HLB value of 1.8-15 to form a second mixture and mixing the second mixture at a 10 temperature of about 400C, until the particle size of the polysiloxane in the emulsion is less than about three hundred nanometers. The cationic silicone emulsion herein may be made by emulsion polymerization. An emulsion polymerization process includes taking a polysiloxane monomer and/or oligomer and emulsifying it in water in the 15 presence of a catalyst to form the polysiloxane polymer. It is understood that unreacted monomers and oligomers may remain in an emulsion polymerized silicone emulsion. One particularly preferred process for obtaining the cationic silicone emulsion of the present invention via emulsion polymerization is through the process disclosed in GB application 2,303,857, which is incorporated herein 20 by reference in its entirety. This reference discloses a process for making stable cationic silicone oil-in-water emulsion comprising: 1) blending a mixture of silicones selected from the group consisting of cyclic silicone oligomers, mixed silicone hydrolyzates, silanol stopped oligomers, high molecular weight silicone polymers, and functionalized silicones with 2) water, and 3) an anionic surfactant; 25 4) heating the blend to a temperature ranging from about 75 to about 980C for a period of time ranging from about 1 hours to about 5 hours; 5) cooling the heated blend to a temperature ranging from 0 to about 250C for a period of time ranging from about 3 hours to about 24 hours; 6) adding a compatibilizing surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactant having an HLB ratio 30 greater than 9; and 7) adding a cationic surfactant. Preferably the silicone compound in the cationic silicone emulsion has a particle size of less than about 50 microns, more preferably from about 0.2 to about 2.5 microns, still more preferably from about 0.2 to about 0.5 microns. The particle size of the silicone compound is believed to affect the deposition of the 35 silicone compound on the hair. The particle size of the silicone compound is WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 27 determined based on the desired deposition and uniformity of distribution of the silicone compound. The silicone particle size herein is measured by a laser analyzing equipment using Coulter Model N4SD available from Coulter Electronics, Inc. 5 (Hialeah, FL, U.S.A.) using a spectrophotometer containing a Laser 4mW helium neon (632.8nm) and RS-232C serial interface. The particle size is analyzed via unimodal fit.

INSTRON VOLUME MEASUREMENT METHOD The Instron Volume Measurement Method is designed to analyze a bulk 5 hair volume of a hair sample by Volume Index which is calculated from a tensile work when the hair sample is pulled up and goes through a ring hole. The tensile work correlates with bulk hair volume, as more tensile work should be needed in proportion to increase in bulk hair volume when the hair sample is pulled up and goes through the ring hole having a fixed diameter. 10 The hair conditioning compositions of the present invention provide a significant, noticeable increase in the bulk hair volume. This increase in the bulk hair volume is assessed by Volume Index, and the hair conditioning composition of the present invention has a Volume Index of 20 or greater, preferably 25 or greater, more preferably 30 or greater, as measured by the method described 15 below. The phrase "increase in the bulk hair volume" as used herein is not equal to fly-away hair. Fly-away hair is due to the increased level of static, and represents volume increase of only very minor amount of the hair as a whole, and is not desirable. On the other hand, increase in the bulk hair volume as used 20 herein relates to volume increase of the hair as a whole while controlling fly-away of the hair. Referring to the drawing, Fig. 1 shows a side view of a preferred embodiment of the Instron Volume Measurement Equipment useful herein. The Instron Volume Measurement Equipment consists of Mini Instron tensile tester 25 MN 55 with Merlin Profiler soft ware (hereinafter tensile tester; available from Instron Computer), 1, and a stage, 6. The tensile tester, 1, comprises an Instron load cell, 2, a string, 3, and a sample holder, 4. The sample holder, 4, is typically a clip or clamp which stably suspends a hair sample, 7. The stage, 6, has a ring hole, 5, in the center. 30 The tensile tester, 1, measures a tensile strength when the hair sample, 7, goes through the ring hole, 5, by pulled up by the Instron load cell, 2, with the string, 3, and the sample holder, 4. The stage, 6, has an adequate height so that the hair sample, 7, does not touch the base when the hair sample is placed on the sample holder, 4. The ring WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 30 hole, 5, has an adequate diameter to measure the tensile strength, for example, in this embodiment, the ring hole of the stage has a diameter of 35mm. Preferably, this equipment should be located away from air currents or other forces which would disturb the hair sample, and is in a controlled 5 temperature and humidity environment, so as to ensure repeatable results. The hair sample, 7, typically consists of 20 cm (8 g) straight brown Caucasian hair switches (available from International Hair Importers & products Inc. of Bellerose, New York, USA). However, the hair volume increase benefits of the present invention are applicable to all types of hair samples. Further, it 10 has been shown that the results achieved with hair samples are comparable to the results achieved during actual use on people. The hair sample, 7, is prepared as follows: For initial hair samples 1) Wet hair sample with 0 grain water and then apply 12% ammonium lauryl 15 sulfate solution (0.1g per 1g hair) to the hair sample to strip the hair of soil. 2) Lather for 30 seconds and rinse for 30 seconds (The same washing condition should be used, including water temperature, water flow rate, and water hardness). 3) Apply 12% ammonium lauryl sulfate solution (0.1g per 1g hair) to the hair 20 sample. 4) Lather for 30 seconds and rinse the hair sample for 60 seconds. 5) Comb wet hair sample through to remove tangles. 6) Squeeze off excess water from the hair sample and make the hair sample flat rectangular shape. 25 7) Leave the hair sample in a 25 *C / 50% relative humidity room and dry for 24 hours. For treated hair samples 1) Wet hair sample obtained above with 0 grain water and then apply 0.1ml sample shampoo per 1g hair. 30 2) Lather for 30 seconds and rinse for 30seconds. 3) Apply 0.1ml sample shampoo per Ig hair. 4) Lather for 30 seconds and rinse for 60 seconds. 5) For conditioning ; apply 0.1ml sample conditioner per 1g hair for 30 seconds, comb for 15 seconds, and rinse for 30 seconds.

WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 31 6) Squeeze off excess water from the hair sample and make the hair sample flat rectangular shape. 7) Leave the hair sample in a 25 0C / 50% relative humidity room and dry for 24 hours. 5 The sample shampoo used herein is Prell shampoo (current commercial non-conditioning shampoo marketed in the U.S.) or the shampoo composition of "Shamp. 1" described in Examples. The sample conditioner used herein is one of the conditioning composition of "Cond. 1" through "Cond. 7" described in Examples. 10 Typically, the same hair sample is first measured as an "initial hair sample", and then measured as a "treated hair sample", both initial and treated hair sample are prepared according to the procedure described above. Once a hair sample (either initial or treated) is prepared, the hair sample is combed through 7 times, and then fixed in the sample holder, 4, through the ring 15 hole, 5, of the stage, 6. The distance from the sample holder, 4, to the ring hole, 5, should be the same for each measurement. Then the Instron load cell, 2, moves up to an adequate height from the base, the hair sample, 7, is pulled up by the Instron load cell, 2, through the string, 3, and the sample holder, 4 (pulling speed: 4mm/sec). When the hair 20 sample is pulled up, the hair sample goes through the ring hole, 5. A tensile strength is measured by Merlin Profiler Software, when the hair sample goes through the ring hole, 5. The measurement is repeated three times for a hair sample (either initial or treated), and 3 hair samples are used for the same treatment using the same 25 shampoo and/or the same conditioner. Therefore a total of nine measurement for treated hair samples and a total of nine measurement for initial hair samples are conducted for the same treatment. The data of the tensile strength is transferred into a computer to calculating a tensile work for an adequate distance, preferably for the first 8 cm 30 of the hair sample. The calculation is done using the following equations: x=D Tensile Work (mJ) =J Fdx x=0 WO 01/34103 PCT/US99/26511 32 wherein F is a extension load of the Instron load cell when the hair sample is pulled on distance x through the ring hole; and D is a length of the hair sample used for measurement. The difference between the tensile work for the treated and initial hair 5 samples is then calculated. The calculation is done using the following equations: A = Worktreated - Workinitial The differences are calculated for each 9 measurements for the same treatment, and then combined to produce an average of tensile work per the same 10 treatment (Atreatment). The above actual tensile work data(Atreatment) are converted into Volume Index, based on the tensile work data obtained for the top volume control treatment (Atop volume) and for the bottom volume control treatment (Abottom volume). The top volume control treatment is a treatment, which is below described in 15 Examples as "Treat. 1", using Prell shampoo (current commercial non conditioning shampoo marketed in the U.S.) without any conditioner. The bottom volume control treatment is a treatment, which is below described in Examples as "Treat. 2", using a shampoo and a conditioner both below described in Examples as "Shamp. 1" and "Cond. 1". The conversion is done using the 20 following equations: Volume Index = 100 x Atreatment - Abottom volume control Atop volume control - Abottom volume control EXAMPLES 25 The following examples further describe and demonstrate embodiments within the scope of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention, as many variations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
