Tertiary Amine-Containing Copolymers. Copolymers based on DMAEMA (dimethylarninoethyl methacrylate) in either free amine form or quatemized with diethyl sulfate or methyl chloride have achieved commercial significance as fixatives in hair-styling formulations, especially in the weU-pubhcized "mousses" or as hair-conditioning shampoo additives. This success has occurred because the cationic charge affords substantive resins that strongly adhere to the hair (141). 

Compositions have been pubHshed for cream tinses (82), hair conditioners, dressiags, and mousses (83), hair-styling products (84), hair sprays (85), hair colorants (86), hair-waving products (87), hair-straightening products (88), and depilatories (89). 

Mousses are designed for hair styling and setting hair in position. Commonly, formulations are based on cationic conditioning polymers with quaternary ammonium salts, alcohols, perfumes, colorants, water, and preservatives. They may be in propellant, foam, or jelly form for direct application to hair after shampoo or cutting, see also Fibrous Protein Formulation Chemistry Proteins.

Hairsprays, setting lotions, and mousses are related in the sense that each of these products applies a resinous material to the hair and helps to maintain style retention by enhancing interfiber interactions. If the hair is not combed after the resin has set (after the solvent evaporates), rigid contact sites of resin are formed between fibers, analogous to strip welding (Figure... 

When the product is applied to wet hair and the hair is set and combed, after the solvent evaporates (as for styling lotions and mousses), the deposited polymer still influences the hair assembly character, by increasing the interfiber forces, but not as much through rigid contacts (Figure... 

Surfactants and oils are also present in most mousse formulations. Surfactants function to lower the surface tension to help spread the polymer film over the hair surface and to support the foam character of the product. Mousses are added to wet hair. They are combed through without rinsing, to distribute the product through the hair. The hair is then styled and dried. Mousses can improve wet hair manageability by lowering combing forces. They also enhance body and style retention. 

Because the mode of application of these products is similar to the mousse and involves combing the product through wet hair prior to setting and drying and then recombing the hair after it has dried, these products do not function by forming rigid bonds exactly as hairsprays do. Nevertheless, these products do enhance interfiber forces to provide increased hair body and improved style retention. 

To develop and evaluate hairsprays, setting products, and mousses, a variety of methods have been developed. The methods described in this section have been developed primarily for hairspray formulation and evaluation. Style retention is without question the most important property of hair-sprays, and several approaches to evaluating hairspray holding power have been described in the literature [59-61]. One novel approach by Ganslaw and Koehler [62] involves measurement of the rate of untwisting of hair swatches treated with hair fixative solution. This parameter, which these authors call twist retention analysis, correlates with curl retention and is claimed to allow for more rapid evaluation of data. 

Style retention may be dehned as the ability of hair to stay in place after styling. It is time-dependent and includes curl retention, wave retention, and straightness retention. Style retention may be described in terms of single-hber properties, or it may be treated as an assembly property. It is most important to permanent waves and to hairsprays as well as to conditioner sets or wave sets and mousses.
