Abstract

An opacifier composition for use in permanent waving compositions and neutralizer compositions associated therewith. The opacifier composition is an aqueous emulsion containing: (a) methyl ester of hydrogenated rosin acids, (b) an alkylene glycol such as octylene glycol, and (c) a mixture of nonionic surfactants, such as the polyoxyethylene ethers of fatty alcohols, for example lauryl alcohol. The use of the opacifier composition eliminates or minimizes hair breakage which occurs with other opacifier systems such as those employing latex emulsions.
