The average results of quadruplicate extrac­ tion analyses for deposition onto hair of cassia HPTC and guar HPTC from their respective formulas are shown in Table II. The cassia formula deposited significantly more polymer onto hair than the analogous guar formula. This correlates well with the

The surface composition of the treated hair fibers was assessed using ToF-SIMS spec­ troscopy and imaging. ToF-SIMS is complementary to Cryo-SEM and extraction mea-
