Hair conditioning products and methods for enhancing the adhesion of beneficial particles

Abstract

The preparation consists of: (i) branched cationic surfactants from 0.01 to 10% by weight; selected from structure 1, in which: • R1 and R-2 consist of straight-chain alkyl chains, saturated or unsaturated, with carbon chain lengths from 4 to 20 carbon atoms; • R3 consists of alkyl chains with carbon chain lengths from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably with 1 to 2 carbon atoms; • R4 consists of a proton or alkyl chain with a carbon chain length of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 2 carbon atoms; and * n has a range from 0 to 10; • m has a range from 1 to 6, preferably 1 and 2; • X® is an organic or inorganic anion; (ii) straight-chain fats from 0.1 to 10% by weight consisting of straight-chain carbon chains, selected from fatty alcohols, alkylated fatty alcohols, fatty acids and mixtures thereof; (iii) cationic structure-forming substances from 0.01 to 5% by weight; having a charge density at pH 7 from 0.1 to 2.5; and (iv) a granular beneficial substance selected from the rinsing active ingredients; in which the molar ratio of branched-chain cationic surfactant (i) to straight-chain fatty acid (ii) is in the range of 1:20 to 1:1, resulting in improved adhesion of the granular beneficial substance to bleached hair.
