Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hair treatment method. Background Art

[0002] Hair dyeing takes a long time and causes hair damage. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of hair dyeings, a method for improving the color durability of the dyed hair is needed. Specifically, a method for treating hair that causes less color change even after washing the hair after dyeing is desired.

[0003] As a method for improving the durability of hair color, various methods using pre-treatment agents or post-treatment agents for hair dyeing have been studied.

[0004] For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-140326 (Patent Document 1) discloses a method for preventing fading of dyed hair, which can exhibit an excellent anti-fading effect on dyed hair. The method is characterized in that an anti-fading agent containing a predetermined lactone derivative is applied to the hair and then heat-treated.

[0005] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-170838 (Patent Document 2) discloses a hair dye pretreatment composition that can provide excellent dyeing uniformity and fastness to hair with various dyeing histories. The hair dye pretreatment composition is characterized by containing a direct dye, glycine and / or taurine, and water.

[0006] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-320355 (Patent Document 3) describes a post-treatment agent for hair dyeing. Application of the post-treatment agent to hair that has been dyed can repair damage caused by dyeing, prevent damage from accumulating, and improve the feel and color retention. The post-treatment agent for hair dyeing comprises a pH buffer (the pH buffer comprising an organic acid and / or an organic acid salt, and an alkaline agent), and a wheat protein hydrolyzate and / or a silylated protein hydrolyzate.

[0007] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-133227 (Patent Document 4) discloses a two-part hair treatment agent that improves dyeing uniformity during hair dyeing and improves color fastness after dyeing. The two-part hair treatment agent comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is applied to the hair as a pretreatment for dyeing with an oxidative hair dye, and the second part is applied to the hair after the first part. The first part is formed by blending a keratin derivative, hydrolyzed keratin, or a derivative thereof, and the second part is formed by blending an amino-modified silicone.

[0008] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2021-59517 (Patent Document 5) discloses a hair cosmetic that improves the elasticity of damaged hair, provides an excellent moisturized and smooth feel, and further has an excellent effect of preventing hair color fading (color loss). The hair cosmetic comprises: a predetermined amount of at least one component selected from hydroxypropyl glucamide and hydroxypropylammonium gluconate; and a predetermined amount of at least one component selected from glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and acetylhydroxyproline.

[0009] Furthermore, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-123535 (Patent Document 6) discloses a composition for preventing hair dye from fading, which can reduce or inhibit the fading of hair after dyeing.

[0044] Specific implementation methods

[0045] However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires heat treatment, and therefore there is a concern that heat damage may be caused to the hair.

[0046] Furthermore, the hair dyeing pretreatment composition disclosed in Patent Document 2 contains a direct dye, and therefore there is a concern that it may affect the color tone of the hair after dyeing.

[0047] Furthermore, the methods described in Patent Documents 3 to 6 all involve treatment in combination with a water-soluble base. However, the color is easily lost when the hair is washed after dyeing, and their effectiveness in improving color durability is limited.

[0048] The present invention provides a hair treatment method that reduces color change of dyed hair and improves color durability.

[0049] The present inventors have discovered that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by a hair treatment method comprising, in sequence, a step (I) of applying a predetermined hair dye composition to the hair to dye the hair, and a step (II) of applying a composition containing predetermined components to the hair.

[0050] According to the present invention, a hair treatment method can be provided in which the color tone of dyed hair is less changed and the durability of the color is improved.

[0051] [definition]

[0052] In this specification, "the color tone of the dyed hair is minimally changed" means that the color tone of the hair after step (I) and before step (II) is minimally different from the color tone of the hair after steps (I) and (II). The change in hair color tone can be evaluated by the change in hue angle h (Δh), specifically, by the method described in the Examples.

[0053] The hue angle h is based on the CIE1976 L * a * b * a specified by the color system * value, b * The value is calculated by the following formula.

[0054] Hue angle h = tan -1 (b * / a * )

[0055] In this specification, "improving the color durability of dyed hair" means that even after washing the hair after step (I) and step (II), the color is less likely to fall off, especially the color of the hair before and after washing. * The difference in values ​​(ΔL * ) is less. L * The value refers to the CIE1976 L * a * b * Brightness L specified by the color system * Specifically, the L of hair * Value and ΔL * Evaluation can be performed by the method described in the Examples.

[0056] [Hair treatment methods]

[0057] The hair treatment method of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as "hair treatment method" or simply "treatment method of the present invention") comprises the following steps (I) and (II) in sequence.

[0058] Step (I): applying a hair dye composition A containing the following components (A1) and (A2) to the hair to dye the hair,

[0059] (A1) oxidation dyes,

[0060] (A2) hydrogen peroxide,

[0061] Step (II): a step of applying a composition B containing the following components (B1) and (B2) and having a pH value of 8.0 or more and 11.0 or less to the hair,

[0062] (B1) a compound represented by the following general formula (1) or a salt thereof,

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, the dotted line indicates the presence or absence of a π bond; R 1 represents a hydroxyl group or an acetoxy group; R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, or -COOR (R is a hydrogen atom, a methyl group or an ethyl group); R 3 represents a hydrogen atom, an acetyl group, a methyl group or an ethyl group,

[0065] (B2) Alkaline agent.

[0066] The treatment method of the present invention, by having the above-mentioned characteristics, can suppress the change in color tone of the hair after dyeing in step (I) and improve the color durability.

[0067] The present invention may exert the above-mentioned effects for the following reasons.

[0068] In step (I), hair is dyed using a hair dye composition A containing a coloring ingredient, namely an oxidation dye, and an oxidizing agent, namely hydrogen peroxide, namely (A2). Composition B, used in the subsequent step (II), contains a melanin precursor, namely component (B1), and an alkaline agent, namely (B2). When composition B is applied to the hair, component (B1) penetrates the hair and polymerizes through oxidation in air. Component (B1) and its polymers then reside in the stratum corneum, located outside the cortex of the hair. This prevents the oxidation dye from shedding from the hair dyed in step (I), thereby improving color durability.

[0069] Component (B2) in composition B adjusts the pH to a range of 8.0 to 11.0, thereby promoting the oxidative polymerization of component (B1) within the hair. Furthermore, by swelling the hair and opening the cuticle, component (B1) can be more efficiently penetrated, thereby enhancing the effect of suppressing the loss of the oxidation dye from the hair and improving color durability.

[0070] Furthermore, component (B1) becomes a melanin-like substance by oxidative polymerization and can also function as a colorant, thereby reducing changes in hair color tone compared to the use of other oxidation dyes or direct dyes.
