Method of treating hair
A method of treating the hair including providing a concentrated hair care composition in an aerosol foam dispenser. The concentrated hair care composition includes one or more silicones, perfume, an emulsifier system, and less than 10% high melting point fatty compounds. The method also includes dispensing the concentrated hair care composition from the aerosol foam dispenser as a dosage of foam; applying the foam to the hair; and rinsing the foam from the hair. The foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm 3 to about 0.40 g/cm 3 when dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser.
1. A method of treating the hair, the method comprising:
a) providing a concentrated hair care composition in an aerosol foam dispenser, wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises:

ii) from about 1% to about 12% propellant, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
iii) from about 0.5% to about 7% perfume, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
iv) an emulsion comprising:
a) an amodimethicone comprising a particle size from about 1 nm to about 125 nm;
b) from about 1% to about 10% of a first alcohol ethoxylate, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition, comprising from about 5 to about 9 moles of ethoxylate and an HLB value of from about 10.3 to about 13;
c) from about 0.5% to about 5% of a second alcohol ethoxylate, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition, comprising from about 2 to about 4.9 moles of ethoxylate and an HLB value of from about 8 to about 10.3; and
from about 60% to about 90% water, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises from about 3% to about 25% of the amodimethicone, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
wherein the concentrated hair care composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 8,000 centipoise;
b) dispensing the concentrated hair care composition from the aerosol foam dispenser as a foam;
c) applying the foam to the hair; and
d) rinsing the foam from the hair;
wherein the foam has a density of from about 0.025 g/cm 3 to about 0.40 g/cm 3 when dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition has a liquid phase viscosity of from about 1 centipoise to about 2,500 centipoise.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises from about 4% to about 20% of the amodimethicone, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particle size of the amodimethicone is from about 5 nm to about 115 nm.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particle size of the amodimethicone is from about 8 nm to about 100 nm.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the particle size of the amodimethicone is from about 1 nm to about 75 nm.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises from about 5% to about 15% of the amodimethicone, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises less than 6% fatty alcohols, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises from about 1 to about 4% fatty alcohols, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises from about 1% to about 6% perfume, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the foam has a dosage weight of from about 1 g to about 5 g when dispensed from the aerosol foam dispenser.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the density of the foam is from about 0.035 g/cm 3 to about 0.20 g/cm 3 .
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the liquid phase viscosity is from about 700 centipoise to about 2,000 centipoise.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein the emulsion is formed by phase inversion by composition.
15. A method of treating the hair, the method comprising:
a) providing a concentrated hair care composition in a dispenser, wherein the concentrated hair care composition comprises:
i. less than 8% fatty alcohol, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition, wherein the fatty alcohol is selected from the group consisting of cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, and combinations thereof;
ii. optionally from about 2% to about 10% propellant, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
iii. from about 1% to about 6% perfume, by weight of the concentrated hair care composition;
iv. an emulsion comprising:
