Dry feel In the sensory hair swatch test, we found best dry feel scoring for VARISOFT ® BT 85 and VARISOFT ® PATC. Gloss/shine For the gloss improvement, again determined by the sensory hair swatch test we found best results for TEGO ® Amid S 18 and ABIL ® Quat 3474. The results for the ABIL ® Quat 3474 were confirmed in a halfhead salon test where this silicone quaternary was judged to be directionally better than CTAC.

Body/Volume Conditioners reduce the volume of the hair by three mechanisms: reducing the fiber to fiber friction to smooth the hair, softening the fibers and by weighing down the hair mass. According to our sensory test, VARISOFT ® W 575 PG was the conditioning additive least likely to impart these effects making it most suited to conditioners developed for the fine hair segment. Because of the good result for the aminofunctional siloxane, we combined this product with some conditioning additives that are known to reduce the body of hair. Figure 13 shows the results. In all cases the negative impact of the organic quats on body/volume could be minimized via the addition of ABIL ® Soft AF 100. The most significant synergy was exhibited by a blend of the ABIL ® Soft AF 100 with the VARISOFT ® BT 85. VARISOFT ® 300 VARISOFT ® BT 85 VARISOFT ® TA 100 VARISOFT ® 432 PPG VARISOFT ® 300 + ABIL ® Soft AF 100 VARISOFT ® BT 85 + ABIL ® Soft AF 100 ABIL ® Soft AF 100 provides better volume score than the quats (as single ingredients). Combinations (1:1) of organic quats with ABIL ® Soft AF 100 compensate the negative impact of organic quats on body/volume.
