Dry composition for and methods for fabrication of dry compositions

1. A method of providing a treatment for cleaning and removing oils from hair without rinsing the hair, comprising:

providing a powder phase including at least one emollient and at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, starch, talc, kaolin and zeolite;

providing a solvent phase;

blending the powder phase and the solvent phase to form a slurry; and

forming the slurry into a dry shampoo tablet; and

removing solvent from the dry shampoo tablet;

wherein the dry shampoo tablet is adapted for manual application to the hair by pressing the dry shampoo tablet to the hair without wetting the dry shampoo tablet or the hair.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the dry shampoo tablet includes molding and heating the slurry, wherein molding is done using a mold made of a porous material.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dry shampoo tablet is formed in the shape of a disc having a diameter of between approximately 1 and 3 inches.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the emollient includes at least one of isodecyl neopentanoate and a silicon containing material such as dimethicone.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the powder phase includes zeolite at 1 to 5 weight percentage.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the powder phase further includes a fragrance component.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the powder phase further includes a colorant component.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the powder phases comprises a majority mica.

9. A method of providing a treatment for deodorizing hair, comprising:

blending a solvent phase with a powder phase, wherein the powder phase includes:

at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, starch, talc, kaolin, and zeolite; and

at least one emollient; and

forming the blended powder and solvent phases into a dry deodorizing tablet; and

removing solvent from the dry deodorizing tablet;

wherein the dry deodorizing tablet is adapted for manual application to the hair la pressing the dry deodorizing tablet to the hair without wetting the dry deodorizing tablet or the hair.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the step of forming the dry shampoo tablet includes molding and heating the blended powder and solvent phases.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the dry deodorizing tablet is formed in the shape of a disc having a diameter of between approximately 1 and 3 inches.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the emollient includes isodecyl neopentanoate.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the zeolite form 1 to 5 weight percent of the powder phase.

14. A method of providing a treatment for hair, comprising:

providing a powder phase including at least two absorbents selected from the group of mica, silica, starch, talc, kaolin and zeolite, at least one emollient, and at least one colorant or highlighting component;

providing a solvent phase;

blending the powder phase and the solvent phase;

forming the blended powder and solvent phases into a dry tablet; and

removing solvent from the dry tablet;

wherein the dry tablet is adapted for manual application to the hair by pressing the dry tablet to the hair without wetting the hair.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the step of forming the dry shampoo tablet includes molding and heating the blended powder and solvent phases.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the dry tablet is formed in the shape of a disc having a diameter of between approximately 1 and 3 inches.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the emollient includes isodecyl neopentanoate.
