Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Corn Starch is a quaternized version of maize starch with a high molecular weight that allows it to form films around the hair to provide a smooth, manageable style.

It is very versatile as it works in both aqueous and hydroalcoholic systems, and it is unaffected by the presence of electrolytes.
To show the superior holding capabilities of Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, curl retention studies compared this ingredient in a gel to a PVP polymer styling gel. After 4 hours at 85% relative humidity, it retains the curled style better than the PVP gel.
