TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Wax: At least 95 weight% (wt.%) of the particles of a wax has a melting point of 30-150degreesC.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Components: The hair styling polymer is a copolymer having a backbone comprising a polyether and poly(vinyl ester) groups. At least some of the ester groups are hydrolyzed to the corresponding alcohol. The wax is naturally occurring wax, synthetic hydrocarbon wax and/or synthetic silicone wax. The propellant is propane, n-butane, isobutane and/or dimethyl ether. Preferred Amount: The composition comprises 2-30 wt.% of the aerosol propellant, 0.01-5 wt.% of the surfactant, 0.001-10 wt.% of the hair conditioning agent, 0.1-2.5 wt.% of the wax particles and 50-90 wt.% of water. Preferred Properties: The wax has a melting point of 40-100degreesC. The wax particles have an average size of 1-150 mum. EXAMPLE - 60 g of wax was melted with emulsifiers (4 g of Brij-72, 6 g of Myri-52S and 8 g of cetyl alcohol) or (16 g of cetyl ammonium chloride). The melt was slowly poured into hot water (324 g); at 20degreesC above the melting point of wax) with stirring at 500-2000 rpm. The heat was removed and the emulsion was left to cool. As the emulsion cooled through the melting point temperature, the mixture thickened to give a cream. The emulsions prepared by the process where approximately 15% active by weight of wax. Hair styling formulation was prepared by compounding (in weight%) carnauba wax emulsion (1.5), polyoxy ethylene glycol vinyl alcohol (30), styrene polymer (1.5), Volpo CSS0 (0.5), 1,2-dibromo-2-4-dicyanobutane (0.0075), 5,5-(1,3 dihydroxy methyl) dimethyl hydantoin (0.055), perfume Vigorflor UN 131.786/F (0.15), propellant A50/DME (60:40) (8) and deionized water (quantity sufficient to 100). The composition was found to be stable and gave creamy foams 24 hours after gassing. The composition produced mean foam weight of 2.11 g, foam weight of standard deviation of 0.03 g, the melting point of raw wax was 83.5degreesC, the particle size of raw wax emulsion was 15 mum, and the foam was favorable. The composition was less sticky on hands and in wet hair, less slippery and easier to comb/brush wet hair, produced favorable conditioning feeling and softness and exhibited ease of styling hair.
