and a cosmetically acceptable excipient,
wherein n is an integer between 0 and 20 and m is an integer between 1 and 6, and having a molecular weight less than about 1500 g/mol, and
wherein the composition does not contain a free radical initiator, a polymerization initiator or a polymerization catalyst.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated ester is present in the composition in a range of 0.1% to 20% w/w.
3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated ester is
4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is a shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, styling cream or styling spray.
5. A method for treating scalp hair comprising applying to scalp hair a composition comprising a non-polymeric fluorinated ester having the following terminal fluorinated alkyl moiety:
and a cosmetically acceptable excipient,
wherein n is an integer between 0 and 20 and m is an integer between 1 and 6, and having a molecular weight less than about 1500 g/mol, and
wherein the method does not employ a free radical initiator, a polymerization initiator or a polymerization catalyst.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the method does not have a rinsing step.
