COMPOSITIONS FOR HAIR THAT DO NOT RINSE AND CONTAIN A DIOL CROSS REFERENCE WITH RELATED APPLICATIONS "This application claims the benefit in accordance with Article 35 of CEU §119 (e) of the provisional application of the United States of Daniel Wayne Michael and Errol Hoffman Wahl which has Serial No. 60 / 091,016 , filed on June 29, 1998, and the United States provisional application of Daniel Wayne Michael and Errol Hoffman Wahl, which has Serial No. 60 / 110,435, filed on December 1, 1998.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to non-rinsing hair care compositions that provide improved hair conditioning properties. These compositions comprise a diol selected from either 1,2 C5-C8-alkane diols or C2-C10-alkyl glycerol ethers. These products provide an unexpected reduction of hair curling without leaving it feeling greasy. Hair care products that are not rinsed are easy to remove and therefore do not accumulate on the hair with repeated use. These compositions are used in non-rinsing products such as, for example, hair tonics, hair sprays, gels, mousses or foams and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The scalp and hair become soiled due to their contact with the surrounding environment and the secreted sebum from the hair follicles. The accumulation of sebum and environmental dirt can cause the hair to have a dirty or greasy feeling and a very unattractive appearance. In order to improve these effects, it is necessary to shampoo the hair with a lateral flow. Washing the hair with shampoo removes excess sebum and other environmental soils but has the disadvantages that the hair can be left in a wet, tangled and relatively unwieldy state. Frequent shampooing can result in hair becoming dry due to the removal of natural oils or other hair moisturizing materials. After washing with shampoo, the hair can also suffer from a noticeable loss of "softness". Frequent shampooing also contributes to the phenomenon of "split ends", particularly for long hair. Open ends refer to a condition where the ends of the hair open at two or more ends, resulting in a matted or frizzy appearance. Also, many people have a hair that by its nature is curly and has a high volume or frizzy appearance. Many people usually become permanent and / or dye their hair. It is known that these types of treatments in general can dry and even damage the hair. This damaged hair is less soft and will have a curly appearance. Often people with curly-looking hair want to reduce the volume of their hair, thereby reducing the frizzy appearance. Traditionally people should use a general conditioner for hair to help reduce frizz. A variety of approaches to hair conditioning have been developed, ranging from hair shampoos applied after shampooing, to hair conditioners and sprays that are not rinsed, that is, they are left to inclusion. of hair conditioning components in shampoos Although many consumers prefer the ease and convenience of a shampoo that includes conditioners, typical shampoo and conditioner combinations alone do not provide sufficient conditioning to reduce the curling appearance of damaged hair, hair with Open ends, or naturally irritated hair Also, a significant proportion of consumers prefer to use the conditioning formulations that are applied to the hair as a separate stage after shampooing., usually after shampooing. These hair conditioners are typically any rinse conditioners, used immediately after washing with shampoo in the shower, bath or tub, or non-rinsing conditioner products, used separately after the step of shampooing. Rinse conditioners typically contain silicone conditioning agents or quaternary ammonium compounds that are deposited on the hair. These conditioners are generally applied to wet hair immediately after washing with shampoo and then removed from the hair by rinsing. However, typical rinse conditioners also do not provide enough frizz reduction to benefit people with frizzy hair.Resolving conditioners are sold as gels, tonics, sprays or mousses depending on the mode chosen to ship the product. These conditioners that are not rinsed in general also contain silicone conditioning agents or quaternary ammonium compounds.These conditioners that are not rinsed generally provide high levels of conditioning compounds. no rinsing results in frizz reduction, the high level of deposited quaternary compounds and / or silicones results in a feeling of loose, greasy and dirty hair.Also, the typical rinse-off conditioners accumulate with use, even with regular washing with shampoo of the This accumulation accentuates the sensation characteristics of the greasy and dirty hair of the typical products.

Polyols have been widely used in hair care compositions as humectants and humectants. "Polyols, including 1,2-hexanediol, have been studied for their impact on hair damage and hair flexibility. Hosokawa et al., In "The Effets of Polyols on Human Hair", J. Soc. Cosmet, Chem. Jpn., 31 (2), 167-175 (1997) Hosokawa shows polyols, such as, for example, glycerin, hexylene glycol and 3-met il-1, 3-butanediol that have the effect of making hair more flexible Hosokawa also shows that polyols that have long carbon chain lengths (eg, 1,2 hexanediol) have a higher Permeability to hair It has been found in the present invention that non-rinsing hair care compositions containing 1,2 Cs-Ca-alkanediols or C 2 -C 0 -alkyl glycerol ethers provide sufficient conditioning to reduce the curly appearance of hair damages do, with split ends or naturally curled, as a feeling of cleanliness. It is an object of this invention to provide hair care compositions for application thereto, which do not have to be rinsed after use and which provide this combination of conditioning and cleansing sensation.
