Durable fiber treatment composition

Abstract

A hair treatment composition is presented comprising organomodified silicones having defined physico-chemical properties and an additive which allows the organomodified silicone to be retained on the hair over longer periods of time than traditionally has been the case. The present composition finds particular application on hair that has been damaged through chemical treatments, such as occurs during permanent dyeing, bleaching and permanent waving.
