Rinse-Off Post-Color Treatment Method

[0217]Hair swatches (from IHIP, about 1.5 grams) were colored using a commercial hair coloring product (1 g color creme / 1.5 g developer / 1 g hair) for 30 minutes to give the hair an intense auburn color. These colored hair swatches were then treated with one of the following post-color treatments.[0218]Post-color treatment with Hydroxy-Polycarboxylic Acid: The colored hair swatches were treated with 40 wt. % solution of citric acid (0.5 g solution / 1 g hair). The solution of 40 wt. % citric acid was allowed to remain on the hair at room temperature for 20 minutes, then rinsed with water for 10 seconds.[0219]Post-color treatment with Alkaline Earth Metal Salt: The colored hair swatches were treated (0.5 g solution / 1 g hair) with 50 wt. % solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2). The solution of 50 wt. % calcium chloride was allowed to remain on the hair at room temperature for 20 minutes, then rinsed with water for 10 seconds.[0220]Post-color treatment ...

Leave-On Post-color Treatment Method

[0224]Hair swatches (from IHIP, about 1.5 grams) were colored using a commercial hair coloring product (1 g color creme / 1.5 g developer / 1 g hair) for 30 minutes to give the hair an intense auburn color. These colored hair swatches were treated with one of the following post-color treatments. The colored hair swatches were treated with a solution comprising 5 wt. % citric acid and 5 wt. % calcium chloride (CaCl2) or with a solution comprising 10 wt. % citric acid and 10 wt. % calcium chloride (CaCl2) (0.5 g solution / 1 g hair).

[0225]The total change in hair color (ΔE) after shampooing 10 times was assessed based on the L*, a*, b*, values. The higher the ΔE the more the color change (more fading) compared to the initial color.

In-Color Treatment and Post-Color Treatment Method

[0227]Hair swatches (from IHIP, about 1.5 grams) were subjected to one of the following four treatments.[0228]Typical Color Treatment: Hair swatches were colored using a commercial hair coloring product (1 g color creme / 1.5 g developer / 1 g hair) for 30 minutes to give the hair an intense auburn color.[0229]In-Color Treatment with Alkaline Earth Metal Salt: Hair swatches were colored with the same commercial hair coloring product above, except that an alkaline earth metal salt (CaCl2) was included with the coloring composition (1 g of 30 wt. % CaCl2 / 1 g color creme / 1.5 g developer / 1 g hair). The hair was treated with the coloring composition for 30 minutes to give the hair an intense auburn color.[0230]Post-Color Treatment with Hydroxy-Polycarboxylic Acid: Hair swatches were colored using a commercial hair coloring product (1 g color creme / 1.5 g developer / 1 g hair) for 30 minutes to give the hair an intense auburn color. After colorin...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods for improving the quality and durability of color in artificially colored hair. The methods employ alkaline earth metal salts that act as a mordant (a fixing agent) with the dye and hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids, which act as chelators. The artificially colored hair is treated with a post-color treatment composition comprising one or more alkaline earth metal salts and one or more hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids. Also, the one or more alkaline earth metal salts may be incorporated into a coloring composition for coloring the hair (in-color treatment composition) and a subsequent post-color treatment composition comprising one or more hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids can be applied to the hair.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for providing color protection to hair, in particular, for improving the quality and durability of color in artificially colored hair. The compositions and methods employ alkaline earth metal salts that act as a mordant (a fixing agent) with a dye and hydroxy-polycarboxylic acids, which act as chelators.BACKGROUND[0002]There are many products available for changing the natural color of hair. The process of changing the color of hair can involve either depositing an artificial color onto the hair, which provides a different shade or color to the hair, or lifting the color of the hair, such as for example, from a dark brown shade to a medium brown or a light brown shade. Hair color can be changed using permanent, semi-permanent, or temporary hair coloring products.[0003]Many consumers desire a permanent color change and therefore use products containing permanent dyes. Conventional permanent hair c...
