Description

[0001] This invention relates to a hair treatment method, particularly a hair treatment method for dyeing and / or bleaching keratin fibers, especially hair, comprising applying at least two compositions, each containing a specific amino acid and a carboxylic acid, to the keratin fibers after applying a bleaching composition.

[0002] A known practice is to use hair bleaching methods to alter the natural color of hair. These methods typically involve applying a hair-applied composition containing chemical oxidants and optionally direct and / or oxidative dyes to keratin fibers.

[0003] These hair-dyeing or bleaching compositions undoubtedly have dyeing or bleaching capabilities, but they can occasionally lead to reduced fiber quality, and the proteins that make up hair may denature, resulting in unstable proteins. The higher the content of unstable proteins, the more damage to the hair.

[0004] This reduction in fiber quality can lead to significant breakage during combing, especially when these compositions are applied to sensitized hair. Therefore, it is common practice to rely on hair care compositions containing conditioning agents to limit the reduction or improvement of the hair's cosmetic properties. However, in some cases, these hair care compositions may impair the dyeing or bleaching of so-called treated keratin fibers.

[0005] Furthermore, when hair is sensitized by repeated chemical treatments (such as dyeing, bleaching, permanent wavy shaping, and / or relaxation), and / or when hair is loaded with minerals and / or their metal salts, dyeing or bleaching performance may not always be satisfactory, particularly in terms of color build-up, color intensity, or evenness, or in terms of shine. Specifically, tap water may sometimes contain high levels of metals such as copper, which can negatively impact the results of dyeing or bleaching by accumulating on the hair during continuous washing. Hair has a strong tendency to absorb these minerals and / or their metal salts due to the presence of anionic functional groups on its surface, which specifically correspond to the sulfonic or carboxylic acid functional groups of keratin. The minerals (very often polyvalent cations) are thus attracted to this negatively charged fiber and trapped by forming chemical bonds, preventing their release through conventional hair treatments. This leads to the potential accumulation of minerals on the hair over time. This fixation depends not only on the hardness of the water, the frequency and / or duration of the hair's exposure to the water in question, but also on the nature and length of the hair (especially porosity and charge), as well as its state of damage.

[0006] The accumulation of these minerals and / or their metal salts can lead to modifications of the hair fibers, and more or less significantly alterations to the cosmetic properties of the hair strands. Thus, the accumulation of calcium and magnesium can cause dry, dull hair, while the accumulation of copper can cause the hair to turn green.

[0007] In addition, the accumulation of metal (such as iron and copper) salts can accelerate damage to hair because they catalyze oxidation / reduction reactions and produce hydroxyl groups that can be harmful to keratin fibers, including in low concentrations.

[0008] This can lead to photodegradation of fibers, fiber brightening, and harmful changes in hair properties, which may cause premature breakage of hair strands; these phenomena are particularly observed during subsequent use of brightening or coloring products.

[0009] In other words, due to the accumulation of minerals and / or their metal salts, hair may become less resistant, more fragile, and actually more prone to breakage, or it may lose its shine.

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to find a technological solution that can overcome these different drawbacks and ultimately lead to improved dyeing or bleaching of hair, especially hair that has been repeatedly chemically sensitized and / or loaded with mineral and / or metal ions.

[0011] The applicant has unexpectedly discovered that all these objectives can be achieved by the method according to the invention, which includes applying a specific composition after a step of bleaching keratin fibers.

[0012] First Embodiment

[0013] Therefore, one subject of the present invention is a hair treatment method for keratin fibers, especially hair, particularly a dyeing and / or bleaching method, the method comprising:

[0014] - Step (i) of applying hair bleaching composition A to the keratin fibers, and then

[0015] - Step (ii) of applying cosmetic composition B1 to the keratin fibers, said cosmetic composition comprising at least 0.5% by weight of one or more amino acid-type compounds and one or more hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids comprising 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and / or their salts, and then...

[0016] - Step (iii) of applying cosmetic composition B2 to the keratin fibers, wherein the cosmetic composition comprises at least 0.5% by weight of one or more amino acid-type compounds and one or more hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids comprising 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and / or salts thereof;

[0017] Steps (ii) and (iii) should be spaced out by a maximum of 2 hours, especially a maximum of 90 minutes, or even a maximum of 60 minutes, preferably a maximum of 30 minutes, or even better a maximum of 15 minutes.

[0018] Second Embodiment

[0019] The subject of this invention is also a hair treatment method for keratin fibers, especially hair, particularly a dyeing and / or bleaching method, the method comprising:

[0020] - Step (i) of applying hair bleaching composition A to the keratin fibers, and then

[0021] - Step (ii) of applying cosmetic composition B1 to the keratin fibers, said cosmetic composition comprising one or more amino acid-type compounds; one or more hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids comprising 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and / or salts thereof; and one or more polysaccharides present in a total amount of at least 0.6% by weight, and then

[0022] - Step (iii) of applying cosmetic composition B2 to the keratin fibers, the cosmetic composition comprising one or more amino acid-type compounds; one or more hydroxylated (poly)carboxylic acids comprising 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and / or salts thereof; and one or more polysaccharides present in a total amount strictly less than 0.6% by weight.

[0023] It has been found that the method according to the invention enables the improvement of hair's resistance to breakage, strengthens the hair, and also significantly limits the reduction or loss of its shine, which is due to the undesirable effects that are easily caused by the presence of metal ions, especially copper or calcium ions, within the fibers.

[0024] After one of these methods is performed, the fibers appear to be strengthened, and this strengthening is improved with continued application of the composition.

[0025] The method according to the invention also enables the provision of conditioning properties to the hair, particularly a smooth feel, softness, suppleness, shine, and easy detangling, while providing strength, body, and volume to the entire head of hair.

[0026] Therefore, the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for hair that has become sensitized, fragile and / or damaged, especially due to physical treatments (repeated brushing) and / or chemical treatments (e.g., dyeing, bleaching, permanent wavy shaping and / or loosening).

[0027] They are also particularly suitable for cosmetic treatments of hair containing metals, especially metals in a concentration of at least 100 ppm, and more preferably at least 200 ppm; particularly copper in a concentration of at least 100 ppm, and more preferably at least 200 ppm and / or calcium in a concentration of at least 4000 ppm, and more preferably at least 10000 ppm.

[0028] It has also been found that the second method described above allows the surfactant to penetrate the hair strands better, and the conditioning composition (optionally applied at the end of the method) to deposit better.

[0787] [Table 1]

[0788]

[0789] The following shampoo compositions and hair mask compositions were also prepared:

[0790] [Table 2]

[0791]

[0792] This yields a hair composition, which can be used, in particular, in the method according to the invention:

[0793] - Apply a bleaching composition containing persulfate, leave it on, and then rinse it off.

[0803] [Table 3]

[0804]

[0805] Measurement Method: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a method known to those skilled in the art for quantifying the strengthening of proteins in the cortex of keratin fibers (Kinetics of the changes imparted to the main structural components of human hair by thermal treatment, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.tca.2018.01.014 &F.-J. Wortmann and H. Deutz, J. Appl. Polym Sci., 48, 137(1993)). The principle of the test is to measure the denaturation temperature of the proteins. It is generally believed that the higher the denaturation temperature of the proteins, the better the integrity of the cortex proteins, which reflects a reduction in fiber breakage. Denaturation temperature is directly related to the binding density of keratin present in the cortex. Therefore, the lower the denaturation temperature, the lower the binding density between proteins: disulfide bridges break and the cortex is damaged. Those skilled in the art consider a difference of 2°C to be a significant change.

[0806] The instrument used for the measurement is a TA Instruments DSC Q20 reference instrument. This instrument measures the energy flow of the sample during heating. The temperature at which the maximum energy flow occurs represents the denaturation temperature.

[0807] The following results were obtained (the average of three measurements taken for each hair lock):

[0808] [Table 4]

[0809]

[0810] Example 3

[0811] Prepare the following compositions B1A and B2A (% AM) according to the present invention:

[0812] [Table 5]

[0813]

[0814] RM stands for raw materials.

[0815] SQ means sufficient quantity.

[0816] The following compositions B3 and B4 were also prepared (for comparison with the first embodiment of the present invention) (% AM):

[0817] [Table 6]

[0818]

[0820] The solutions used in these two cases are detailed below:

[0821] - Apply a bleaching composition containing persulfate, leave it on, and then rinse it off.

[0822] - Apply composition B1A (B3), leave on for 5 minutes, followed by a shampooing and rinsing step, and then...

[0823] - Apply composition B2A (B4), leave on for 10 minutes, then...

[0824] - Apply a hair mask and rinse it off at the end.

[0825] The interval between administering B1A and B2A is approximately 10-15 minutes. Similarly, the interval between administering B3 and B4 is approximately 10-15 minutes.

[0826] Result: Smoothness and silkiness on wet hair

[0827] Performance quality in terms of smoothness and silkiness was assessed in a blind test on wet hair by three experts. Each of the three experts gave a score between -2 and +2 for each hair strand, representing the performance difference compared to a reference (including a comparison procedure involving the application of B3 followed by the application of B4) according to the following scale:

[0828] [-2]: If the hair strands show worse softness / smoothness than the reference;

[0829] [0]: No difference compared to the reference;

[0830] [+2]: If the tested hair strands show better softness / smoothness than the reference.

[0831] The assessment of smoothness is tactile. Experts pick up hair with both hands and attempt to fold it. They evaluate the hair's ability to bend easily and its flexibility.

[0832] To assess smoothness, experts hold a section of hair between their thumb and forefinger and slide their fingers along the section from top to bottom. They assess evenness, the uniformity of the hair from root to tip, the presence of rough patches, and whether their fingers get stuck in the hair.

[0833] The results are given below:

[0834]

[0835]

[0836] Three out of three experts (100%) agreed that keratin fibers treated with the method according to the first embodiment of the invention (including the application of compositions B1A and B2A in steps (ii) and (iii) respectively) were softer and smoother than those treated with the reference method. These results are significant given the standard deviation.

[0837] The method according to the first embodiment of the present invention produces superior smoothness and softness performance on wet hair compared to the reference method.
