[0002] Recently, the requirement to hair and a hair treating agents are becoming more serious. The moist feel, slippery feel, wetting feeling, smooth feel, soft feel, slightly oily feel, rustle feeling, luster, supple, no stickiness, non congealing of hair top, setting ability, maintaining (or keeping) ability of hair styling, prevention of loss of color after hair colorings operation (prevention of loss of dye), brightness of color developing of color wax, smooth wave formation with waving agents, no waving unevenness, prevention of hair damage, well spread of cream, salt resistance of hair treating agents of hair treating agents, easy removing of wax by shampoo, natural hair line (increased volume feel or decreased volume feel), smooth combing, low irritation and no liquid dropping are strongly required.

[0003] For the purpose to satisfy the above-mentioned requirement of the consumer, hair treating agents [e.g., hair conditioners such as hair treatments (including so called “non rinsing treatments”) and rinses, hair colorings, waving agents, finishing agents, color fixing agents or another hair treating agents such as permanent waving iron sliding improvers], in which various ingredients are contained, are proposed.

[0004] However, at the preparation of the conventional hair treating agents, the processes are complicated and take long time and high cost because each ingredients must be respectively weighed, added and blended, and these processes are considered as a serious problem.

Preparation of Hair Conditioners

Examples 166-176

[0709] Accoding to the ingredients and contents shown in Table 35 and Table 36, hair conditioners were prepared by following methods.

[0710] Initial purified water was heated to the temperature of 83-86° C. (Examples 166, 173-176) or 87-91° C. (Examples 167-172). And to this, glycerin, if necessary, was added and dissolved to prepare aqueous solution.

[0711] On the other hand, the composition blended in hair conditioner obtained above (examples 152, 153, 155, or 156) was heated to the temperature 83-86° C. (Examples 166, 169-176) or 87-91° C. (Examples 167, 168), and then dissolved homogeneously. Further, to this, silicones (or in Example 170 and 172, additive compositions instead of silicones), parabens and 1, 3-butylene glycol, if necessary, were added and dissolved homogeneously.

[0712] The homogeneous dissolved material was added to the above-mentioned hot water with constant stirring and emulsified. Then the emulsion was cooled down to the temperature of 50° C. with constant stirring. And, additives, if necessary, PPT, perfumes, cationized cellulose, pigments, additive compositions (Example 176) were added.Finaly, purified water (add water) was added so as to adjust the total weight to be 100 kg and then mixed homogeneously. Thus, the hair conditioners of the present invention (Examples 166-176) were prepared.

Example 177

[0713] After the composition blended in hair conditioner (Example 157) was heated to the temperature 85° C., and then dissolved homogeneously., additive compositions, isopropyl myristate, propylene glycol, proper amount of parabens, proper amount of perfumes were added and dissolved homogeneously., Finaly, purified water (add water) was added so as to adjust the total weight to be 100 kg and then mixed homogeneously. Thus, the hair conditioner of the present invention was prepared. Ingredients and contents (kg) are shown in Table 36.

Example 178

[0714] After the composition blended in hair conditioner (Example 157) was heated to the temperature 85° C. and then dissolved homogeneously., lanolin amidopropyl ethyl dimethyl ammonium ethylsulfate, proper amount of parabens and proper amount of perfumes were added and dissolved homogeneously., Finaly, purified water (add water) was added so as to adjust the total weight to be 100 kg and then mixed homogeneously. Thus, the hair conditioner of the present invention was prepared. Ingredients and contents (kg) are shown in Table 36.

Example 179

[0715] The compositions blended in hair conditioners (Example 158), that was heated to the temperature 83-86° C., was added with stirring to initial purified water that was previously heated to the temperature 83-86° C., and then emulsified. Then the emulsion was cooled down below the temperature of 40° C. with constant stirring, another additives shown in Table 36 were added, and then further, purified water (add water) was added so as to adjust the total weight to be 100 kg. Thus, the hair conditioner of the present invention was prepared. Ingredients and contents (kg) are shown in Table 36.
