Abstract

Disclosed is a hair conditioning composition comprising: a cationic surfactant; a high melting point fatty compound having a melting point of 25° C. or higher; a material having a refractive index of from about 1.30 to about 1.70; and an aqueous carrier, wherein a composition has a transmittance of at least about 0.5%. The composition is further specified by either: (i) the material is a polyol having at least 3 hydroxyl groups and the polyol is contained at a level of above 30% to about 80% by weight of the composition; or (ii) the cationic surfactant is a salt of a mono-long alkyl amine and an acid. The compositions provides both translucent appearance and conditioning benefits, especially conditioning benefit on wet hair when used as a rinse-off conditioner and/or spreadability on hair.
