Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Since N-acyl amino acid-based surfactants are less irritating to hair and skin than lauryl sulfate, they have been increasingly incorporated into hair cleansing compositions in recent years. <\\

[0005] By the way, hair to which a hair cosmetic containing an oily component (for example, a hair styling agent such as hair wax and hair clay) has adhered may be washed with a hair cleansing composition. However, when washing hair to which a hair cosmetic containing an oily component has adhered using a conventional hair cleansing composition containing an N-acyl amino acid-based surfactant, poor foaming may occur, or a residual feeling of the hair cosmetic may occur on the hair after washing.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a hair cleansing composition that can produce good lather even when used on hair to which hair cosmetics containing oily components have adhered, and that can reduce the feeling of residual hair cosmetics. [Means for solving the problem]

Furthermore, while the transparency of conventional hair cleansing compositions tends to decrease when component (G) is blended above the lower limit, the hair cleansing composition of the present invention can maintain high transparency even when the content of component (G) is above the lower limit. When the content of component (G) is below the upper limit, the transparency of the hair cleansing composition can be maintained at an even higher level.

[0092] (Component (H)) Component (H) is ethanol. Using component (H) can increase the solubility of component (G). Furthermore, using component (H) can enhance the preservative effect.

[0156] The prepared evaluation wig was wet with lukewarm water. Next, 5g of the obtained hair cleansing agent composition was evenly applied to the entire hair of the evaluation wig, and the evaluation wig was massaged to create a lather. The lathering on the hair to which the hair cosmetic had been applied was evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0157] <Evaluation criteria for lathering on hair with hair cosmetic product applied> ○(Good): Lathers up enough to cover the entire hair. × (Poor): The foam does not completely cover the hair, and the hair is visible.

[0158] (Test example 3: Persistence of hair cosmetic residue) After evaluating Test Example 2, the hair cleansing agent composition was thoroughly rinsed off the evaluation wig using lukewarm water, while running fingers through the wig. Next, the evaluation wig was towel-dried and then dried with a hairdryer. The residual feeling of the hair cosmetic was evaluated based on the tactile sensation of the hair of the dried evaluation wig when gripped with the hand, according to the following criteria.

[0159] <Evaluation Criteria for the Residual Sensitivity of Hair Cosmetics> ○ (Good): The evaluation wig before and after application of the hair cosmetic product felt the same, and there was absolutely no feeling of residual hair cosmetic product. × (Poor): The feel of the evaluation wig before applying the hair cosmetic was clearly different from that of the evaluation wig after drying, and it was clear that some of the hair cosmetic remained.
