Description

[0001] Henkel AG & Co. KGaA 2023P00100WO Process for coloring keratin fibers, comprising coloring with direct dyes and aftertreatment with C1-C6-alkoxysilanes in a solvent system. The present application relates to a process for coloring keratin fibers, in particular human hair, in which a colorant (F) and an aftertreatment agent (N) are applied to the keratin fibers. The colorant (F) contains at least one direct dye, and the aftertreatment agent (N) is low in water, contains at least one C1-C6-alkoxysilane, and at least one solvent. Changing the shape and color of keratin fibers, in particular human hair, represents an important area of ​​modern cosmetics. Depending on the coloring requirements, the skilled person is familiar with various coloring systems for changing hair color. For permanent,For intensive dyeings with good fastness properties and good gray coverage, oxidation dyes are usually used. Such dyes contain oxidation dye precursors, so-called developer components and coupler components.which, under the influence of oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, form the actual dyes. Oxidation dyes are characterized by very long-lasting coloring results. When using direct dyes, already fully formed dyes diffuse from the dye into the hair fiber. Compared to oxidative hair coloring, the colors obtained with direct dyes are less durable and wash out more quickly. Colorations with direct dyes usually remain on the hair for a period of between 5 and 20 washes. Therefore, there is still room for improvement regarding the fastness properties of colorations produced with direct dyes. FR 3081102 A1 describes a coloring process in which hair is first colored with a colorant containing at least one anionic,substantive dye. Following this dyeing step, another agent containing two different organosilanes is applied to the hair. This two-step process is intended to produce dyes with good fastness properties on hair. Although the dyeing processes described in FR 3081102 A1 are said to have good performance properties, the washfastness of the dyes produced using these processes still requires further optimization. The object of the present invention was to find a dyeing process based on substantive dyes that produces dyes with improved washfastness and improved leveling power. Surprisingly, it has now been found that this further improvement in fastness properties is possible when hair dyed with a substantive dye is treated with a post-treatment agent.which contains one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxy silanes in a special, low-water and solvent-based carrier system. A first aspect of the present invention is a method for dyeing keratinic fibers, in particular human hair, comprising the following steps in the specified order: (1) applying a dye (F) to the keratinic fibers, wherein the dye (F) contains: (F-1) one or more direct dyes, (2) allowing the dye (F) to act on the keratinic fibers, (3) optionally rinsing the dye (F), (4) applying a post-treatment agent (N) to the keratinic fibers, wherein the post-treatment agent (N) contains - based on the total weight of the post-treatment agent (N): (N-1) one or more organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes and / or their condensation products, (N-2) less than 25.0 wt.% water, and (N-3) at least one solvent other than water,(5) allowing the aftertreatment agent (N) to act on the keratin fibers, and (6) optionally rinsing out the aftertreatment agent (N). Keratin fibers Keratin fibers are understood to mean hair, wool, and fur. Most preferably, keratin fibers are understood to mean human hair. Application of the colorant (F) in step (1) In step (1) of the process according to the invention, the colorant (F) is applied to the keratin fibers or hair. The colorant (F) contains at least one direct dye (F-1). These are dyes that are absorbed directly onto the hair and do not require an oxidative process to develop the color. Direct dyes are usually nitrophenylenediamines, nitroaminophenols, azo dyes, anthraquinones,Triarylmethane dyes or indophenols. The direct dyes according to the present invention have a solubility in water (760 mmHg) at 25°C of more than 0.5 g / L and are therefore not considered pigments. Preferably, the direct dyes according to the present invention have a solubility in water (760 mmHg) at 25°C of more than 1.0 g / L. The water solubility of the direct dyes can be determined, for example, in the following way: 0.1 g of the direct dye is placed in a beaker. A stir bar is added. Then, 100 ml of water is added. This mixture is heated to 25°C on a magnetic stirrer while stirring. It is stirred for 60 minutes. The aqueous mixture is then visually assessed. If undissolved residues are still present, the amount of water is increased—for example, in 10 ml increments. Water is added untiluntil the used amount of dye has completely dissolved. If the dye-water mixture cannot be visually assessed due to the high intensity of the dye, the mixture is filtered. If a portion of undissolved dye remains on the filter paper, the solubility test is repeated with a higher amount of water. If 0.1 g of the anionic substantive dye dissolves in 100 ml of water at 25 °C, the solubility of the dye is 1.0 g / L. Substantive dyes can be divided into cationic, anionic, and non-ionic substantive dyes. When used in the process according to the invention, good color results with outstanding fastness properties could be achieved, particularly with cationic dyes (F-1). In one embodiment, the process according to the invention is characterized in that the colorant (F) comprises at least one substantive dye (F-1) from the group of cationic,anionic and / or non-ionic direct dyes, particularly preferably from the group of cationic direct dyes.

The colorant (F) can be applied to moistened or dry keratin fibers. The application can be carried out, for example, with the aid of a brush, a brush, or a nozzle.or the user can use their gloved hand for this purpose. In addition to the direct dye(s) (F-1), the colorant (F) can optionally also contain further ingredients. Thus, the colorant (F) can also contain further active ingredients, auxiliaries, and additives, such as cationic, non-ionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and / or anionic surfactants; thickening polymers, film-forming polymers; structuring agents such as glucose, maleic acid, and lactic acid; hair conditioning compounds such as phospholipids, for example lecithin and cephalins; perfume oils, dimethyl isosorbide, and cyclodextrins; fiber structure-improving agents, in particular mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides such as glucose, galactose, fructose, fructose, and lactose; dyes for coloring the product; anti-dandruff agents such as piroctone olamine,Zinc omadine and climbazole; amino acids and oligopeptides; protein hydrolysates of animal and / or plant origin, as well as in the form of their fatty acid condensation products or, where appropriate, anionically or cationically modified derivatives; sunscreens and UV blockers; active ingredients such as panthenol, pantothenic acid, pantolactone, allantoin, pyrrolidinone carboxylic acids and their salts and bisabolol; polyphenols, in particular hydroxycinnamic acids, 6,7-dihydroxycoumarins, hydroxybenzoic acids, catechins, tannins, leucoanthocyanidins, anthocyanidins, flavanones, flavones and flavonols; ceramides or pseudoceramides; vitamins, provitamins and vitamin precursors; plant extracts; fats and waxes such as fatty alcohols, beeswax, montan wax and paraffins; Swelling and penetrating agents such as glycerol, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, carbonates, hydrogen carbonates, guanidines, ureas as well as primary, secondary and tertiary phosphates; opacifiers such as latex,Styrene / PVP and styrene / acrylamide copolymers; pearlescent agents such as ethylene glycol mono- and distearate and PEG-3 distearate; and propellants such as propane-butane mixtures, N2O, dimethyl ether, CO2, and air. The selection of these additional substances will be made by the person skilled in the art according to the desired properties of the agent. Regarding further optional components and the amounts of these components used, reference is expressly made to the relevant manuals known to the person skilled in the art. The additional active ingredients and auxiliaries are preferably used in the preparations according to the invention in amounts of 0.0001 to 25 wt.%, in particular 0.0005 to 15 wt.%, based on the total weight of the respective agent. Exposure of the colorant (F) in step (2) In step (2) of the process according to the invention, the colorant (F) is allowed to act on the keratin fibers or hair. Typical exposure times are, for example, 1 minute to 60 minutes,preferably 5 minutes to 45 minutes. During the exposure time of the dye (F) to the fibers, it may be advantageous to support the dyeing process by applying heat. The heat can be supplied by an external heat source, such as warm air from a warm-air blower, or, particularly when dyeing hair on a live test subject, by the subject's body temperature. In the latter case, the area to be dyed is usually covered with a hood. In particular, the temperature during the exposure time is between 10 °C and 45 °C.in particular between 20°C and 40°C. Rinsing out the colorant (F) in step (3) In step (3) of the process, the colorant (F) can be rinsed out. The rinsing step is optional and, in one embodiment, can be carried out, for example, with water or with water with the aid of a shampoo. The colorant (F) is preferably rinsed out after the action in step (3). Therefore, a method for dyeing keratin fibers, in particular human hair, is preferred, comprising the following steps in the given order: (1) applying a dye (F) to the keratin fibers, wherein the dye (F) contains: (F-1) one or more direct dyes, (2) allowing the dye (F) to act on the keratin fibers, (3) rinsing out the dye (F), (4) applying a post-treatment agent (N) to the keratin fibers,wherein the aftertreatment agent (N) contains, based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N): (N-1) one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes and / or their condensation products, (N-2) less than 25.0 wt.% water, and (N-3) at least one solvent other than water, (5) exposure of the aftertreatment agent (N) to the keratin fibers, and (6) optionally rinsing out the aftertreatment agent (N). Within the scope of a further particularly preferred embodiment, the process according to the invention is characterized by (2) exposure of the colorant (F) to the keratin fibers for a period of 2 to 60 minutes, preferably 5 to 45 minutes, and particularly preferably 5 to 30 minutes, and (3) rinsing out the colorant (F). Applying the after-treatment agent (N) in step (4) If the dye (F) is not rinsed out,then, the application of the aftertreatment agent (N) takes place in step (4) following step (2). Within the scope of this embodiment, the aftertreatment agent (N) is then applied to the hair still covered with the colorant. However, it is preferred if the colorant (F) is rinsed out before applying the aftertreatment agent (N). If the colorant (F) is rinsed out, the aftertreatment agent is applied to the keratin fibers in step (4) following step (3). The application can take place on the hair that is still damp or towel-dried after rinsing, or the keratin fibers are dried between steps (3) and (4). Within the scope of a further embodiment, a method according to the invention is therefore characterized by (4) applying an aftertreatment agent (N) to towel-dried or dried keratin fibers. Particularly durable colorations have been obtainedwhen the after-treatment product (N) has been applied to damp or towel-dried hair. Since the after-treatment product (N) itself contains little or no water, the amount of water still present in the hair supports the condensation of the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes directly on the surface of the keratin. This creates a particularly uniform and resistant coating that tightly envelops the hair fiber and forms directly where the film is intended. Dampened or towel-dried hair refers to hair that has been completely wetted with water at the sink or in the shower, then squeezed out and rubbed dry with a towel (e.g., for 30 seconds). Dampened or towel-dried hair is therefore no longer dripping wet,but still moist. In another particularly preferred embodiment, the method according to the invention is characterized by (4) applying the aftertreatment agent (N) to still moist or towel-dried keratin fibers. For the keratin fibers that are still moist or towel-dried shortly before application of the aftertreatment agent (N), the colorant (F) is washed out a maximum of 30 minutes, preferably a maximum of 10 minutes, before application of the aftertreatment agent (N). The aftertreatment agent (N) is characterized in that it contains - based on its total weight - (N-1) one or more organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes and / or their condensation products, and (N-2) less than 25.0 wt.% water,and (N-3) at least one solvent other than water. The organic C1-C6 alkoxysilane(s) (N-1) are therefore present in the aftertreatment agent (N) in a solvent-containing carrier and in a water-poor environment. As the first substance class essential to the invention, the aftertreatment agent (N) contains one or more organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes (N-1) and / or their condensation products. The organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes (N-1) are reactive compounds. Organic silicon compounds, alternatively also referred to as organosilicon compounds, are compounds that either have a direct silicon-carbon bond (Si-C) or in which the carbon is linked to the silicon atom via an oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur atom. The organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes according to the invention are compoundswhich contain one to three silicon atoms. The organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes particularly preferably contain one or two silicon atoms. According to IUPAC rules, the term silane refers to a group of chemical compounds based on a silicon backbone and hydrogen. In organic silanes, the hydrogen atoms are completely or partially replaced by organic groups such as (substituted) alkyl groups and / or alkoxy groups. In the organic silanes, some of the hydrogen atoms can also be replaced by hydroxyl groups. Organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes comprising at least one C1-C6 alkoxy group,which is directly bonded to the silicon atom. The alkoxy group is reactive and can first be hydrolyzed in the presence of water and subsequently condensed with another organic C1-C6-alkoxysilane (or its hydrolysis product). The C1-C6-alkoxy group is preferably an ethoxy group or a methoxy group. If, for example, the hydrolyzable group is an ethoxy group, the organic silicon compound preferably contains a structural unit R'R''R'''Si-O-CH2-CH3. The radicals R', R'', and R''' represent the three remaining free valences of the silicon atom. Particularly good results were obtained when the aftertreatment agent (N) according to the invention contained at least one first organic C1-C6-alkoxysilane (N-1) of the formula (I).

In a further preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) contains one or more organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes (N-1) from the group consisting of methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltrimethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, hexyltrimethoxysilane, hexyltriethoxysilane, octyltrimethoxysilane, octyltriethoxysilane, dodecyltrimethoxysilane, dodecyltriethoxysilane, and / or their condensation products. Other organic silicon compounds particularly suitable for achieving the object of the invention are also - vinyltrimethoxysilane and - vinyltriethoxysilane.In an explicitly particularly preferred embodiment, an aftertreatment agent (N) according to the invention is characterized in that it contains at least one first organic C1-C6-alkoxysilane of the formula (I), which is selected from the group consisting of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane, and additionally contains at least one second organic C1-C6-alkoxysilane of the formula (II), which is selected from the group consisting of methyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltrimethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, hexyltrimethoxysilane, and hexyltriethoxysilane. The organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes described above are reactive compounds. To achieve particularly good dyeing results, it is particularly advantageous to use the organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes of the formula (I) and / or (II) in certain quantitative ranges in the dyeing agent (F).In this context, it has been found to be preferred if the aftertreatment agent (N) according to the invention - based on the total weight of the agent - contains one or more organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes (N-1) and / or their condensation products in a total amount of 0.1 to 30.0 wt.%, preferably of 0.5 to 20.0 wt.%, more preferably of 5.0 to 15.0 wt.% and very particularly preferably of 6.0 to 12.5 wt.%. Within the scope of a further very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is therefore characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - contains one or more organic C1-C6-alkoxysilanes (N-1) and / or their condensation products in a total amount of 0.1 to 30.0 wt.%, preferably of 0.5 to 20.0 wt.%, more preferably of 5.0 to 15.0 wt.% and very particularly preferably of 6.0 to 12.5 wt.%.The organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes (N-1) according to the invention, in particular those of formula (I) and / or (II), are reactive compounds that can undergo hydrolysis and condensation reactions with water. The reaction of the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes with water can occur in various ways. The reaction starts as soon as the C1-C6 alkoxysilanes come into contact with water by mixing. As soon as the C1-C6 alkoxysilanes and water come into contact, an exothermic hydrolysis reaction takes place according to the following scheme (reaction scheme using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as an example): Depending on the number of hydrolyzable C1-C6 alkoxy groups per silane molecule, the hydrolysis reaction can also take place multiple times per C1-C6 alkoxy silane used: Hydrolysis using the example of methyltrimethoxysilane: OMe OMe CH 3Si OMe + H 2 O CH3 Si OH + MeOHOMe OMe Depending on the amount of water used, the hydrolysis reaction can also take place several times per C1-C6 alkoxy silane used: OMe OH CH 3Si OMe + 2 H 2 O CH3 Si OH + 2 MeOH OMe OMe or OMe OH CH 3Si OMe + 3 H 2 O CH3 Si OH + 3 MeOH OMe OH Following the hydrolysis, or almost simultaneously with the hydrolysis, a condensation of the partially (or partially completely) hydrolyzed C1-C6 alkoxy silanes takes place. The precondensation can, for example, proceed according to the following scheme: OH OH OMe OH H3C Si OMe + H3C SiOMe MeO Si O SiOMe + MeOHOMe OMe CH3CH3. Both partially hydrolyzed and fully hydrolyzed C1-C6 alkoxysilanes can participate in the condensation reaction, undergoing condensation with unreacted, partially, or fully hydrolyzed C1-C6 alkoxysilanes. Possible condensation reactions include (shown using the mixture of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and methyltrimethoxysilane): and / or and / or In the above exemplary reaction schemes, the condensation to form a dimer is shown in each case, but more extensive condensations to form oligomers with several silane atoms are also possible and also preferred. This hydrolysis or condensation reaction begins even in the presence of very small amounts of water, therefore the oligomers and / or condensation products of the aforementioned organic silicon compounds are also encompassed by this invention. A further characteristic feature of the aftertreatment agent (N) is its water content (N-2), which must be below 25 wt.%. Based on its total weight, the aftertreatment agent (N) therefore contains less than 25.0 wt.% water. The low water content in the aftertreatment agent (N) ensures the storage stability of the aftertreatment agent (N) and also ensures that the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes are still in reactive form and have not yet fully polymerized.If the complete crosslinking of the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes only takes place after the application of the aftertreatment agent (N) to the keratin fibers, the film formed during crosslinking is characterized by particularly high robustness and resistance. Robust films are obtained even if the aftertreatment agent (N) contains less than 25.0 wt.% water. It has proven preferable if the water content in the aftertreatment agent (N) is reduced even further. Particularly preferably, the aftertreatment agent (N) is formulated with such a low water content that the water content of the aftertreatment agent (N) - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - is in the range from 0 to 20.0 wt.%, preferably from 0.1 to 10.0 wt.%, more preferably from 0.1 to 5.0 wt.%, and particularly preferably from 0.5 to 3.0 wt.% water (F3).Within the scope of a further particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - contains 0 to 20.0 wt. %, preferably from 0.1 to 10.0 wt. %, more preferably from 0.1 to 5.0 wt. %, and particularly preferably from 0.5 to 3.0 wt. % water (N-2). As a third constituent essential to the invention, the aftertreatment agent (N) contains at least one solvent (N-3) other than water. A solvent is a fixed term and is used in chemistry for a substance that is liquid at room temperature (20 °C) and that is capable of dissolving other chemical substances. The solvent(s) (N-3) lower the polarity of the aftertreatment agent compared to water, prevent premature polymerization orFilm formation of the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes (N-1) and simultaneously increase the storage stability of the aftertreatment agent (N). Since the aftertreatment agent (N) is formulated with low water content, the solvent (N-3) preferably forms the cosmetic carrier—either together with the small amounts of water or alone—and thus preferably represents the main component of the aftertreatment agent (N). Suitable solvents include, for example, compounds from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,2-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, glycerin, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, poly-C1-C6 alkylene glycols, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, and glycerol carbonate.Within the scope of a further particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) contains at least one solvent (N-3) other than water, which is selected from the group consisting of ethanol, isopropanol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, glycerol, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, poly-C1-C6-alkylene glycols, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate and glycerol carbonate, preferably from the group consisting of ethanol and isopropanol, particularly preferably ethanol.

In a preferred embodiment, the solvent(s) (N-3) represent(s) the cosmetic carrier of the aftertreatment agent (N) and are therefore preferably used as the main ingredient in the aftertreatment agent (N).In this context, the term main constituent refers to an ingredient whose use amount exceeds that of all other ingredients. When used as the main constituent, it can prove advantageous to select a correspondingly high amount of the solvent(s) (N-3). For example, the aftertreatment agent (N) can contain - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - one or more solvents (N-3) other than water in a total amount of 1.0 to 90.0 wt.%, preferably 5.0 to 75 wt.%, more preferably 10.0 to 55 wt.%, even more preferably 15.0 to 45 wt.%, and most preferably 15.0 to 25.0 wt.%.Within the scope of a further particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - contains one or more solvents (N-3) other than water in a total amount of 1.0 to 90.0 wt.%, preferably 5.0 to 75 wt.%, more preferably 10.0 to 55 wt.%, even more preferably 15.0 to 45 wt.% and most preferably 15.0 to 25.0 wt.%.

Like the solvents (N-3), the liquid fatty components (N-4) can also further reduce the polarity of the aftertreatment agent (N) and further increase the storage stability of the aftertreatment agent. For the purposes of the invention, “fatty components” are understood to mean organic compounds with a solubility in water at room temperature (22°C) and atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) of less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.1% by weight. A fatty component that is liquid at 20°C has a melting point below 20°C (measured under atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg)). The definition of fatty components explicitly includes only uncharged (i.e., non-ionic) compounds. Fatty components have at least one saturated or unsaturated alkyl group with at least 8 carbon atoms.The molecular weight of the fatty components is a maximum of 5000 g / mol, preferably a maximum of 2500 g / mol, and particularly preferably a maximum of 1000 g / mol.

Silicone oils can also be referred to as oligoalkylsiloxanes and polyalkylsiloxanes that are liquid at 20°C, i.e., the silicone oils have a melting point below 20°C (at atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg). Preferred linear silicone oils are oligoalkylsiloxanes of the general formula (V). where z is an integer from 0 to 10000, preferably an integer from 0 to 1000, more preferably an integer from 0 to 100, and most preferably an integer from 0 to 10. Very particularly preferred linear oligoalkylsiloxanes are, for example, - hexamethyldisiloxane . - Decamethyltetrasiloxane Hexamethyldisiloxane has the CAS number 107-46-0 and can be purchased commercially from Sigma-Aldrich, for example.

In contrast to the reactive organic silicon compounds, in particular the silanes of the formulas (I) and (II), the oligoalkylsiloxanes are composed exclusively of dialkylsilyl groups (in particular dimethylsilyl groups) and trialkylsilyl groups (in particular trimethylsilyl groups) which are linked to one another via oxygen atoms.Thus, the oligoalkylsiloxanes themselves are not reactive compounds within the meaning of this invention and do not contain any hydrolyzable groups. Hydrocarbon oils are also particularly suitable fatty components which are liquid at 20°C. Hydrocarbons are compounds having 8 to 80 carbon atoms and consisting exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as mineral oils, liquid paraffin oils (e.g., paraffinium liquidum or paraffinum perliquidum), isoparaffin oils, and polydecenes, are particularly preferred in this context. The hydrocarbons according to the invention are also characterized in that they have a melting point below 20°C under atmospheric pressure. Liquid fatty acid triglycerides are also particularly suitable fatty components which are liquid at 20°C. A C. 12 -C 30For the purposes of the present invention, fatty acid triglyceride is understood to mean the triester of the trihydric alcohol glycerol with three equivalents of fatty acid. Both structurally identical and different fatty acids within a triglyceride molecule can participate in the ester formation, provided that the fatty acid triglyceride has a melting point below 20°C. For the purposes of the invention, fatty acids are understood to be saturated or unsaturated, unbranched or branched, unsubstituted or substituted C12-C30 carboxylic acids.

Liquid fatty alcohols are also particularly suitable fatty components that are liquid at 20°C.Preferred linear, unsaturated fatty alcohols are (9Z)-octadec-9-en-1-ol (oleyl alcohol), (9E)-octadec-9-en-1-ol (elaidyl alcohol), (9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dien-1-ol (linoleyl alcohol), (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trien-1-ol (linolenoyl alcohol), gadoleyl alcohol ((9Z)-eicos-9-en-1-ol), arachidonic alcohol ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraen-1-ol), erucyl alcohol ((13Z)-docos-13-en-1-ol) and / or brassidyl alcohol ((13E)-docosen-1-ol). An example of a branched liquid fatty alcohol is 2-octyldodecanol. Ester oils are also particularly suitable fatty components that are liquid at 20 °C. Ester oils are esters of C12-C30 fatty acids with aliphatic C1-C24 alcohols that are liquid at room temperature (20 °C). In other words, ester oils according to the invention are characterized by having a melting point below 20 °C at atmospheric pressure (1013 mbar).A particularly strong improvement in the hair feel was achieved when a post-treatment product containing at least one ester oil from the group of monoesters of C. 12 -C 24 -fatty acids with aliphatic, monovalent C1-C 24 -alcohols. In a further embodiment, the process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent contains at least one fatty component (N-4) from the group of esters of a C 12 -C 30 -fatty acid and an aliphatic, monovalent C1-C 24 -alcohol. Within the group of C 12 -C 30 -fatty acids are the C 12 -C 24 -fatty acids are particularly well suited. Examples of C 12 -C 24-Fatty acids suitable for the formation of ester oils (N-3) are caproic acid, caprylic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, isotridecanoic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid and erucic acid as well as their technical mixtures.

The aliphatic C1-C24 alcohols can be linear or branched, saturated, or mono- or polyunsaturated. For example, an alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol, 2-ethylhexanol, n-hexanol, n-octanol, n-decanol, and n-dodecanol can be used as an aliphatic saturated C1-C24 alcohol. Examples of monohydric, unsaturated, C1-C24 alcohols are oleyl alcohol (octadec-9-en-1-ol), palmitoleyl alcohol (cis-9-hexadecen-1-ol), elaidyl alcohol (trans-9-octadecen-1-ol), and cis-11-octadecen-1-ol. To form the esters, the C12-C24 fatty acids and the C1-C12 alcohols are selected so that the ester formed by esterification of both reactants is an ester oil, i.e.that it has a melting point below 20°C at 1013 mbar. Some ester oils according to the invention can be used in the form of commercially available raw materials, which are mixtures of esters obtained from fatty acids of different chain lengths and / or alcohols of different chain lengths. These raw materials can have a melting range. For these raw materials, a melting point below 20°C means that the melting process begins at a temperature below 20°C. If, for example, an ester oil can be used in the form of a certain raw material on average, this raw material having a melting range of 16 to 27°C, this raw material contains at least one ester oil with a melting point below 20°C. This ester oil is therefore according to the invention. Particular preference according to the invention is given to 2-ethylhexyl palmitate (Cegesoft. ® 24), isopropyl myristate (Rilanit ®IPM), Isononansäure-C16-18-alkylester (Cetiol ® SN), Stearinsäure-2-ethylhexylester (Cetiol ® 868), Cetyloleat, Glycerintricaprylat, Kokosfettalkohol-caprinat / -caprylat (Cetiol ® LC), n- Butylstearat, Oleylerucat (Cetiol ® J 600), Isopropylpalmitat (Rilanit ® IPP), Oleyl Oleate (Cetiol ® ), Laurinsäurehexylester (Cetiol ® A), Di-n-butyladipat (Cetiol ® B), Cetearyl Isononanoate (Cetiol ® SN), Ölsäuredecylester (Cetiol ®V).

Particularly good results were obtained when the colorant (F) contained one or more fatty constituents (c) liquid at 20°C in a total amount of 1.0 to 99% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 95.0% by weight, preferably 10.0 to 90% by weight, more preferably 30.0 to 85% by weight, even more preferably 40.0 to 80% by weight, and most preferably 50.0 to 75% by weight, based on the total weight of the colorant (F). In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) - based on the total weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) - contains one or more fat components (N-4) which are liquid at 20 °C in a total amount of 1.0 to 95.0 wt.-%, preferably from 10.0 to 90 wt.%, more preferably from 30.0 to 85 wt.%, even more preferably from 40.0 to 80 wt.% and most preferably from 50.0 to 75 wt.%. The very best results were obtained with an aftertreatment agent (N) which contained - based on its total weight - - from 15.0 to 45 wt.% ethanol (N-3) and - 40.0 to 80 wt.% hexamethyldisiloxane (N-4). It is understood that the amounts used of components (N-1), (N-2), (N-3) and optionally (N-4) in the aftertreatment agent (N) cannot add up to more than 100 wt.%. The post-treatment agent (N) is intended to improve the washfastness of the direct dyes previously applied in the dyeing step, but is not a dye itself and therefore preferably does not contain any color-imparting compounds. Thus, the post-treatment agent (N) does not contain any oxidation dye precursors, direct dyes, or pigments.In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is characterized in that the aftertreatment agent (N) contains no color-providing compounds from the group of oxidation dye precursors, direct dyes, and pigments. Pigments within the meaning of the present invention are understood to mean color-providing compounds which, at 25°C, have a solubility in water of less than 0.5 g / L, preferably less than 0.1 g / L, and even more preferably less than 0.05 g / L. The water solubility can be determined, for example, using the method described below: 0.5 g of the pigment is weighed into a beaker. A stirring bar is added. Then, one liter of distilled water is added. This mixture is heated to 25°C for one hour while stirring on a magnetic stirrer.If undissolved components of the pigment are still visible in the mixture after this period, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g / L. If the pigment-water mixture cannot be assessed visually due to the high intensity of the pigment, which may be present in finely dispersed form, the mixture is filtered. If a proportion of undissolved pigment remains on the filter paper, the solubility of the pigment is below 0.5 g / L. Action of the aftertreatment agent (N) on the keratin fibers in step (5) In step (5) of the process according to the invention, the aftertreatment agent (N) is allowed to act on the keratin fibers. Typical exposure times can be, for example, a period of 1 to 60 minutes, preferably 2 to 45 minutes and particularly preferably 5 to 30 minutes.During the action of the aftertreatment agent (N), it has proven particularly advantageous to treat the keratin fibers still covered with the aftertreatment agent with a water-containing agent. In this way, a defined amount of water is again brought into contact with the aftertreatment agent. The defined amount of water is preferably applied to the keratin fibers still coated with the aftertreatment agent (N). The amount of water applied in step (5) is preferably at most twice the weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) applied in step (3). By additionally applying the defined amount of water in step (5), post-condensation or post-crosslinking of the organic C1-C6 alkoxysilanes can be initiated. This post-crosslinking ensures further strengthening of the film or coating.Within the scope of a further embodiment, a method is preferred which comprises (5) allowing the aftertreatment agent (N) to act on the keratin fibers, wherein during the action a water-containing agent (W) is applied to the keratin fibers still covered with the aftertreatment agent (N) and is mixed with the aftertreatment agent (N). However, the application of the water-containing agent (W) in step (5) should not yet result in the aftertreatment agent (N) being washed out, i.e. the additional amount of water applied to the hair coated with the aftertreatment agent (N) should be large enough that the C1-C6 alkoxysilanes can come into contact with a sufficient amount of water, but the aftertreatment agent (N) is not washed off the hair fibers or flows down them.As the work leading to this invention has shown, this is the case when the weight of the water-based agent (W) applied in step (5) is at most twice the weight of the after-treatment agent (N) applied in step (4). Within the scope of a further embodiment, a method is preferred comprising (5) allowing the after-treatment agent (N) to act on the keratin fibers, wherein, during the action, a water-based agent (W) is applied to the keratin fibers still covered with the after-treatment agent (N) in an amount that is at most twice the amount of the after-treatment agent (N) applied to the keratin fibers.In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized in that the amount by weight of water-containing agent (W) that comes into contact with the aftertreatment agent (N) still present on the keratin fibers as a result of the application of the water-containing agent (W) is at most twice as large as the weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) applied in step (4). In a further particularly preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized in that the amount by weight of water-containing agent (W) that comes into contact with the aftertreatment agent (N) still present on the keratin fibers as a result of the application of the water-containing agent (W) is at most as large as the weight of the aftertreatment agent (N) applied in step (4). The amount of water-containing agent (W) and the amount of aftertreatment agent (N) are understood here to be the amounts by weight.If, for example, 50 g of after-treatment agent (N) are applied to the keratin fibers or hair in step (4), preferably no more than 100 g of water-containing agent (W) are applied to the hair / keratin fibers in step (5). Particularly preferably, no more than 50 g of the water-containing agent (W) is applied. The water-containing agent (W) itself preferably contains water as the main component, but can also contain other ingredients such as preservatives and / or in particular thickeners. The water-containing agent (W) preferably contains - based on the total weight of the water-containing agent (W) - 50 to 100 wt.%, preferably 60 to 99.9 wt.%, more preferably 60 to 99.9 wt.% and very particularly preferably 70 to 99.9 wt.% water. In principle, pure water can also be applied to the hair still covered with the after-treatment agent and mixed with the after-treatment agent. In this case, the water-containing agent (W) consists of water orcontains this at 100% by weight. However, since pure water is very thin and relatively difficult for the user to apply, it has proven preferable to at least thicken the water with a thickener. Other conditioning or styling ingredients can also optionally be included in the water-containing agent (W). The defined amount of water can be distributed over the keratin fibers in step (5) and mixed with the after-treatment agent (N) that is also still on the keratin fibers. This mixing can be supported by massaging it in by hand or with a brush. After applying the water-containing agent (W) and mixing it with the after-treatment agent (N), the mixture of (N) and (W) can be left to act on the keratin fibers for some time. Possible exposure times here are 1 to 45 minutes, preferably 2 to 30 minutes, particularly preferably 5 to 15 minutes.During this exposure time, the keratin fibers or hair can also be kneaded or massaged several times to really ensure a closed film forms around each keratin fiber. Rinsing out the after-treatment agent (N) or drying the keratin fibers without rinsing out the after-treatment agent (N) in step (6) In step (6) of the method according to the invention, the after-treatment agent (6) can be rinsed out in one embodiment. In a further embodiment, however, it is also possible not to rinsing out the after-treatment agent (N), but to dry the keratin fibers still coated with the after-treatment agent (N) - optionally diluted by adding water - without rinsing. Without rinsing out the after-treatment agent (N), the film formed on the keratin fibers can continue to condense or harden for some time.Since particularly resistant films can be obtained in this way, this embodiment is very particularly preferred. In another very particularly preferred embodiment, a process according to the invention is therefore characterized by (6) drying the keratin fibers without prior washing out of the aftertreatment agent (N). During drying, the water (N-2) and the solvent(s) (N-3) present in the aftertreatment agent evaporate or vaporize, and the film formed by the condensation of the C1-C6 alkoxysilanes hardens. Drying can take place either in air or under the influence of heat, for example with the aid of a heat cap or a hairdryer. A period of a few seconds up to 60 minutes, preferably from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, can elapse between steps (4) and (6).If the keratin fibers are dried in the air, step (6) can begin immediately after step (4), if the aftercare product has already begun to dry during the application time. The drying of the keratin fibers or hair that takes place in step (6) can be accelerated by heat treatment. Heat treatment means that the keratin fibers are brought into contact with a heated device or that this heated device is applied to or on the keratin fibers. Furthermore, the keratin fibers can also be brought into contact with warm / hot air for heat treatment. The device used can be, for example, a hairdryer, a blow dryer, a heat cap, a straightening iron, a curling iron, or an infrared lamp.In a particularly preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized in that the heat treatment is carried out using a hair dryer, a blow dryer, a heat cap, a straightening iron, a curling iron, or an infrared lamp. Furthermore, it has been found that it is preferred if the treatment temperature during the heat treatment is between 40°C and 210°C, preferably from 50°C to 190°C, more preferably from 50°C to 170°C, even more preferably from 50°C to 150°C, and most preferably from 50°C to 100°C. In other words, it has been found to be particularly preferred if the heat treatment is carried out using a device which is heated to a temperature of 40 °C to 210 °C, preferably from 50 °C to 190 °C, more preferably from 50 °C to 170 °C, even more preferably from 50 °C to 150 °C and most preferably from 50 °C to 100 °C.Within the scope of a further particularly preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized by (4) drying the keratin fibers without prior washing out of the aftertreatment agent (N) at a temperature of 40 °C to 210 °C, preferably from 45 °C to 190 °C, more preferably from 45 °C to 170 °C, even more preferably from 45 °C to 150 °C and most preferably from 45 °C to 100 °C. For example, the keratin fibers or the hair can be treated with a hairdryer that blows warm or hot air onto the keratin fibers. This air is very preferably 50 to 100 °C. Or the keratin fibers or the hair are held under an infrared lamp, which is particularly preferably set to a temperature of 50 to 100 °C. For the purpose of heat treatment, hair can also be pressed between two appropriately tempered plates of a straightening iron, whereby the plates can simultaneously be moved along the fiber.The plates of the straightening iron can, for example, be set to a temperature of up to 210 °C. The heat treatment can expediently be carried out until the keratin fibers still coated with the aftertreatment agent (F) have begun to dry or have dried completely. In principle, the user can freely choose the period of time between the application of the two agents (F) and (N). However, it has proven particularly preferable if no further agents, such as shampoos, conditioners or styling products are applied between the application of the two agents (F) and (N). For this reason, the maximum period of time between the application of the two agents (F) and (N) is particularly preferably limited to a maximum time interval of 24 hours.It has proven particularly preferred if a period of maximum 24 hours, preferably maximum 12 hours, more preferably maximum 6 hours, and most preferably maximum 3 hours, elapses between the application of the colorant (F) and the application of the aftertreatment agent (N) to the keratin fibers. Within the scope of a further very preferred embodiment, a method according to the invention is characterized in that a period of maximum 24 hours, preferably maximum 12 hours, more preferably maximum 6 hours, and most preferably maximum 3 hours, elapses between the application of the colorant (F) and the aftertreatment agent (N).

Application The colorants (F1) and (F2) were applied to strands of hair (Kerling 9-0, length approx. 5 cm). For this purpose, the strands of hair were moistened, then the colorant was applied (0.4 g of colorant per 1 g of hair strand) and left to work for 15 minutes at 30 °C. The strands of hair were then rinsed under running water for 1 minute. Immediately afterwards, the respective after-treatment product was applied to the still damp strands of hair (0.4 g of after-treatment product per 1 g of hair strand) and massaged in. The after-treatment product was left to work for 5 minutes, then water was added again (0.4 g of water per g of hair strand) was applied to the hair strand. Each hair strand was carefully massaged again. After a contact time of 5 minutes, each strand was dried at 50°C without rinsing out the after-treatment product. 4. Measurement of Wash Fastness After drying, the strands were stored overnight and then visually assessed under a daylight lamp. 0 HW is the color result obtained directly after coloring and drying. To measure wash fastness, the strands were then washed 6 or 12 times (6 HW, 12 HW). For each wash, a commercially available shampoo (0.25 g shampoo (Schauma 7 Herbs) per 1 g of hair) was applied to the strand and massaged in with the fingers for 30 seconds. The shampoo was then rinsed for 1 minute under running water.The strands were rinsed with lukewarm water and dried. The procedure described above corresponds to one hair wash. The process was repeated for each subsequent wash. After the appropriate number of washes, the strands were visually assessed again under a daylight lamp.
