Method of Treating Hair with a Concentrated Conditioner

Abstract

A method of treating the hair including providing a concentrated hair care composition in an aerosol foam dispenser. The concentrated hair care composition includes one or more silicones, perfume, and less than 10% high melting point fatty compounds. The method also includes dispensing the concentrated hair care composition from the aerosol foam dispenser as a dosage of foam; applying the foam to the hair; and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm 3 to about 0.40 g/cm 3 when dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A concentrated conditioner composition comprising:
 a. from about 4 wt. % to about 12 wt. % of silicone, selected from the group consisting of amino morpholino silicones, aminosilicones, quaternary ammonium polyalkylene oxide silicones, and combinations thereof; wherein the particle size of the one or more silicones is from about 1 nm to about 300 nm;   b. less than 6 wt. % of one or more fatty alcohols selected from the group consisting of cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof;   c. from about 1 wt. % to about 6 wt. % perfume;   d. from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % water;   e. from about 1 wt. % to about 12 wt. % aerosol propellant;   wherein the concentrated conditioner composition comprises a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 8000 centipoise.   
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the aerosol propellant is selected from the group consisting of propane, n-butane, isobutane, cyclopropane, and mixtures thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the composition comprises a liquid phase viscosity of Born about 1 centipoise to about 2500 centipoise. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the composition comprises a liquid phase viscosity of from about 10 centipoise to about 1500 centipoise. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein the composition comprises a viscosity of about 15 centipoise to about 1000 centipoise. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1  where in the particle size of the silicone is from about 8 nm to about 200 nm. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1  where in the particle size of the silicone is from about 1 nm to about 100 nm. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1  wherein composition comprises from about 1 wt. % to about 4 wt. % of one or more fatty alcohols. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1  further comprising from about 0.25 wt. % to about 5 wt. % cationic surfactant. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 9  wherein the cationic surfactant comprises behentrimonium methosulfate. 
     
     
         11 . A concentrated conditioner composition comprising:
 a. from about 4 wt. % to about 12 wt. % of an aminosilicone; wherein the particle size of the aminosilicone is from about 1 nm to about 100 nm;   b. from about 1 wt. % to about 4 wt. % of one or more fatty alcohols selected from the group consisting of cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof;   c. from about 0.25 wt. % to about 5 wt. % behentrimonium methosulfate;   d. from about 1 wt. % to about 6 wt. % perfume;   e. from about 60 wt. % to about 90 wt. % water;   f. from about 1 wt. % to about 12 wt. % aerosol propellant;   wherein the concentrated conditioner composition comprises a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 2500 centipoise.   
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the composition comprises a liquid phase viscosity of from about 10 centipoise to about 1500 centipoise. 
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the composition comprises a viscosity of about 15 centipoise to about 1000 centipoise. 
     
     
         14 . The concentrated conditioner composition of  claim 11  wherein the composition comprises from about 1.5 wt. % to about 3.0 wt. % fatty alcohol. 
     
     
         15 . The composition of  claim 11  wherein the aerosol propellant is selected from the group consisting of propane, n-butane, isobutane, cyclopropane, and mixtures thereof.
