Description

Title of Invention: Hair Treatment Compositions and Methods for Straightening Hair FIELD OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions and methods of treating hair with the compositions. Treatment with the compositions provides hair with improved fiber alignment, frizz control, and smoothness. CONTEXT

[0002] Many consumers desire to use cosmetic and care compositions that enhance the appearance of the hair, for example, by changing the color, style and / or shape of the hair and / or by imparting various cosmetic properties to the hair, such as shine and conditioning. Hair can become dry or damaged for a variety of reasons, for example, exposure to the elements, poor nutrition, mechanical treatments (e.g., brushing the hair), styling treatments using chemicals, dyeing, heat, nutrition, etc. Even cleansing products can strip the hair of its natural oils, causing dryness, which can lead to a dull appearance, split ends and frizz.

[0003] Chemical hair treatments include bleaching and coloring treatments to change the color of the hair. Chemical treatments also include processes to permanently change the shape and structure of the hair, for example, by perming, waving, relaxing, or straightening the hair. These chemical treatments often alter the appearance of the hair by changing its physical structure, which inevitably causes some degree of damage to the hair. Environmental factors, such as salt water, sunlight, and heat, are also known to damage hair. Damaged hair is characterized by unnatural changes in the protein structure of individual hair strands or shafts.

[0004] The popularity and use of oils for hair treatment has increased due to their effectiveness and simplicity. Commonly used oils include olive oil, mineral oil, avocado oil, apricot kernel oil, rice bran oil, and coconut oil. However, these treatments can make hair greasy. Furthermore, effects are usually not seen until several hours (e.g., 8 hours) of treatment and multiple treatments are usually required, making the treatment time-consuming and laborious.

[0005] Hair damage results in split ends, dryness, easily brittle hair, and hair that becomes "frizzy" and difficult to style. Because the visible part of the hair is dead, it cannot regenerate itself. Many over-the-counter and salon treatments are claimed to repair damaged hair. These include conditioners, hot oil treatments, hydrolyzed proteins, vitamin formulations, and extracts of exotic fruits, leaves, or roots. However, these treatments provide little improvement to the hair. Therefore, hair treatment technologies that can straighten, relax, or style hair without chemically damaging it are desired.

[0006] The need remains to improve hair manageability, for example, to improve hair alignment, to reduce unwanted volume (particularly a reduction in frizz), and to increase shine. SUMMARY OF DISCLOSURE

[0007] The present disclosure relates to hair treatment compositions and methods for improving the appearance, feel, and style of hair. In particular, the hair treatment compositions and methods improve fiber alignment, reduce frizz, and impart a smooth texture. The treated hair is soft, shiny, conditioned, and has a healthy appearance. The compositions include a unique combination of a component that forms a smooth coating on the surface of the hair. The smooth coating is surprisingly durable. Therefore, the improved cosmetic properties imparted to the hair are long-lasting, resistant to humidity, and maintained uniformly when washing the hair.

[0008] The hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure typically comprise:

[0009] (a) citric acid, one of its salts or one of its combinations;

[0010] (b) cyclodextrin or its derivatives;

[0011] (c) one or more cationic surfactants;

[0012] (d) optionally, one or more non-ionic surfactants or emulsifiers;

[0013] (e) one or more fatty alcohols;

[0014] (f) one or more amino-functionalized silicones;

[0015] (g) optionally, one or more water-soluble solvents;

[0016] (h) water.

[0017] Citric acid and its salts provide a myriad of benefits to hair. For example, it acts as an antioxidant, removes buildup and debris from the hair, and improves blood circulation in the scalp, which should nourish hair follicles and promote growth. Its acidic pH is also helpful in balancing the pH of the scalp, as many hair care products make it more alkaline. The citric acid in the present compositions interacts also with cyclodextrin in a unique way and improves film formation on the hair, which is further potentiated by heat. Sodium citrate (or trisodium citrate) is an example of a citric acid salt.

[0018] Cyclodextrins are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides, composed of a macrocyclic core of glucose subunits joined by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic conversion. Typical cyclodextrins contain a number of glucose monomers ranging from six to eight units in a core, creating a cone shape, e.g., α(alpha)-cyclodextrin has 6 glucose subunits, β(beta)-cyclodextrin has 7 glucose subunits, and γ(gamma)-cyclodextrin has 8 glucose subunits. Non-limiting examples of cyclodextrins for use in the compositions of the present disclosure include α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, γ-cyclodextrin, methyl-α-cyclodextrin, methyl-β-cyclodextrin, methyl-γ-cyclodextrin, and mixtures thereof.

More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods for improving fiber alignment, reducing frizz, and imparting a smooth texture to hair. Such methods typically include applying the composition to the hair. After leaving the composition on the hair for a period of time (e.g., about 1 to about 10 minutes), the composition is rinsed from the hair. In various embodiments, the temperature of the hot iron is at least 100°C, e.g., about 140°C to about 190°C. The treated hair is soft, shiny, conditioned, and healthy-looking. The improved cosmetic properties imparted to the hair are long-lasting and are maintained even after washing the hair.

[0027] In various embodiments, the compositions of the present disclosure may be used in a routine with heat treatment, for example, treatment with a hot iron such as a flat iron. The compositions are applied to the hair, for example, after washing the hair, and may remain on the hair for a period of time. The hair is then rinsed, dried, and treated with a hot iron, preferably a flat iron. The treated hair is smoothed with a high degree of fiber alignment, is frizz-free, and has a natural, healthy appearance. Brief Description of the Drawings

(d) Non-ionic surfactants or emulsifiers

[0075] The terms "nonionic surfactant" and "nonionic emulsifier" are used interchangeably in the present disclosure and may therefore be referred to as "nonionic emulsifying surfactants." The nonionic surfactant or emulsifier may have an HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) ranging from 1 to 7.9 or greater than or equal to 8. "HLB" refers to the "hydrophilic-lipophilic balance" associated with nonionic surfactants or emulsifiers. In particular, the "HLB" value relates to the ratio of hydrophilic groups to lipophilic groups in the emulsifiers, as well as the solubility of the emulsifiers. Emulsifiers with lower HLB (such as those with HLB values ​​ranging from 1 to 7.9) are more soluble in oils (lipophilic material) and are more suitable for use in water-in-oil (W / O) emulsions.Higher HLB emulsifiers (such as those with HLB values ​​above 8) are more soluble in water (hydrophilic material) and are more suitable for oil-in-water (O / W) emulsions.

Miscellaneous ingredients are ingredients that are compatible with the compositions and do not disrupt or materially affect the fundamental and novel properties of the compositions. Non-limiting examples of ingredients include preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusters, salts, chelating agents, buffers, antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins, botanical extracts, UV filtering agents, proteins, protein hydrolysates and / or isolates, fillers (e.g., organic and / or inorganic fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate, silica, etc.), composition colorants, etc. In various embodiments, the miscellaneous ingredients are selected from preservatives, fragrances, pH adjusters, salts, chelating agents, buffers, composition colorants, and mixtures thereof.In the context of this disclosure, a "composition colorant" is a compound that colors the composition but does not have an appreciable coloring effect on the hair. In other words, the composition colorant is included to impart coloring to the composition for aesthetic purposes but is not intended to impart coloring properties to the hair. Hair styling gels, for example, may come in a variety of different colors (e.g., light blue, light pink, etc.), but application of the styling gel to the hair does not visibly change the color of the hair.

[0245] The total amount of the one or more miscellaneous ingredients in the compositions, if present, will vary.

[0275] In various embodiments, citric acid, its salts, or the combination of (a) and the cyclodextrin of (b) are combined with each other before being added into the hair treatment compositions of the present disclosure. For example, the cyclodextrin is preferentially solubilized in citric acid to form a solubilized combination of citric acid and cyclodextrin. The combination may be heated to facilitate or accelerate dissolution of the cyclodextrin. The solubility of cyclodextrin in water is not always ideal. Therefore, combining the cyclodextrin with citric acid and dissolving the cyclodextrin in the citric acid before adding the combination with other components of the hair treatment composition may be beneficial. Methods

[0276] As explained throughout the present disclosure, the hair treatment compositions are particularly useful in methods of treating hair, preferably human hair, particularly human head hair. Treatment with the compositions improves fiber alignment, reduces frizz, and imparts a smooth texture to the hair. The methods typically comprise applying a hair treatment composition of the present disclosure to the hair. The hair is preferably wet or damp, but the composition can also be applied to dry hair. Application of the compositions to the hair will moisten the hair because the compositions are aqueous (containing a large portion of water).

[0277] The hair treatment composition may be left on the hair for a period of time before being rinsed from the hair. In various embodiments, the hair treatment composition is left on the hair for 1 minute to about 60 minutes before being rinsed from the hair. In other embodiments, the hair treatment composition is left on the hair for about 1 minute to about 45 minutes, about 1 minute to about 30 minutes, about 1 minute to about 15 minutes, about 5 minutes to about 60 minutes, about 5 minutes to about 45 minutes, about 5 minutes to about 30 minutes, about 5 minutes to about 15 minutes, about 5 minutes, about 10 minutes, about 15 minutes, about 20 minutes, about 25 minutes, about 30 minutes, about 40 minutes, about 45 minutes, or about 60 minutes, before being rinsed from the hair. In these lines, the hair treatment composition is considered as a “rinse-off” or “rinse-off” product.

[0278] After rinsing the hair, the hair may be dried, for example with a hair dryer. Once the hair is dry, the hair may be treated with a thermal treatment (with heat). For example, the hair may be treated with a hot iron, in particular, a flat iron. Generally, the hot iron is passed over the hair at least once, at least twice, at least three times, or more. The hot iron is preferably at a temperature of about 150°C to about 300°C, preferably 150°C to about 250°C, more preferably about 180°C to about 230°C.

[0279] Treated hair exhibits improved hair fiber alignment, reduced frizz, and smoothness. Treated hair is also soft, shiny, conditioned, and healthy-looking.

[0287] To determine how treatment with the inventive composition of Example 1 (inventive composition A) and with the comparative compositions of Example 2 (comparative compositions B and C) influences the hair, tests were carried out on commercially available hair strands (bleached hair CP3, 2 gm, 15 cm). All hair strands were first cleansed with a standard shampoo before treatment with one of the compositions AC. Approximately 0.4 grams of each composition per gram of hair was applied to the strands. of cleansed hair and distributed evenly throughout the hair. After distribution throughout the hair, the compositions were left on the hair for 10 minutes and then thoroughly rinsed from the hair. The hair strands were then blow-dried and treated with a flat iron (180 °C). The flat iron was passed over the hair strands three times for 10 seconds for each pass (the flat iron was passed along the distance of the hair strands (15 cm) over a period of 10 seconds per pass). The strands were evaluated and images of the hair strands are provided in [Fig. 1].

[0288] The hair strands were then subjected to humidity treatment. The hair strands were placed in a humidity chamber having a temperature of 25°C and 80% RH for 1 hour. After 1 hour in the humidity chamber, the strands were evaluated again. Images of the hair strands after humidity treatment are shown in [Fig.2].

[0289] After the humidity treatment, the strands were again cleaned with the standard shampoo, dried with a hairdryer and treated with a flat iron (180°C) in the same manner as described above. The strands were evaluated and snapshots of the strands are provided in [Fig. 3]. The hair strands were again subjected to the humidity treatment. The hair strands were placed in the same humidity chamber having a temperature of 25°C and 80% RH for 1 hour. After 1 hour in the humidity chamber, the strands were again evaluated. Snapshots of the strands after treatment in the humidity chamber are shown in [Fig. 4].

[0290] Hair strands treated with Inventive Composition A consistently showed better fiber alignments, less frizz, more smoothness, and less roughness at the tips of the hair fibers, compared to placebo and hair strands treated with Comparative Compositions B and C.

[0291] The foregoing description illustrates and describes the disclosure. Furthermore, the disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments. However, as mentioned above, it is to be understood that it is capable of use in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and is capable of changes or modifications within the scope of the inventive concepts as expressed herein, consistent with the above teachings and / or the skill or knowledge of the relevant art. The embodiments described herein are further intended to explain the best modes known to the applicant and to enable others skilled in the art to use the disclosure in such or other embodiments, and with the various modifications required by the particular applications or uses thereof.Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein. The claims . annexed are also intended to be interpreted to include other embodiments.

[0292] As used herein, the terms "comprising," "having," and "including" are used in their broad and non-limiting sense.

[0293] The terms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are understood to encompass both the plural and the singular. Thus, the expression "a mixture of" also relates to "mixtures of." Throughout the disclosure, the expression "their mixture" is used, after a list of elements as shown in the following example where the letters A through F represent the elements: "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and their mixture." The expression "their mixture" does not require that the mixture include all of A, B, C, D, E, and F (although all of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included). Rather, it indicates that a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D, E, and F may be included. In other words, it is equivalent to the formulation "one or more elements selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, and a mixture of two or more of A, B, C, D, E and F".

[0294] Similarly, the expression "their salt" also relates to "their salts". Thus, when the disclosure refers to "an element selected from the group consisting of A, B, C, D, E, F, their salt, and a mixture thereof", it indicates that one or more of A, B, C, D and F may be included, one or more of a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E and a salt of F may be included, or a mixture of any two of A, B, C, D, E, F, a salt of A, a salt of B, a salt of C, a salt of D, a salt of E and a salt of F may be included.

[0295] Salts referred to throughout the disclosure may include salts having a counterion such as an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or an ammonium counterion. This list of counterions, however, is not limiting. Suitable counterions for the components described herein are known in the art.

[0296] The expression “one or more” means “at least one” and therefore includes individual components as well as mixtures / combinations.

[0297] The term "plurality" means "more than one" or "two or more."

[0298] Except in working examples, or if otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing amounts of ingredients and / or reaction conditions may be modified in all cases by the term "about", meaning to within + / - 5% of the number indicated.

[0299] All percentages, parts and ratios herein are based on the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise indicated.

[0300] Some of the various categories of components identified may overlap. In such cases where an overlap may exist and the composition includes both components (or the composition includes more than two overlapping components), an overlapping compound does not represent more than one component. For example, some compounds may be considered both a nonionic surfactant or emulsifier and a fat component. If a particular composition includes both a nonionic surfactant or emulsifier and a fat component, a single compound will serve only as a nonionic surfactant or emulsifier or only as a fat component (the single compound does not serve as both a nonionic surfactant or emulsifier and a fat component).

[0301] A "rinse-out" product refers to a composition that is rinsed and / or washed from the hair with water after or during application of the composition to the hair, and before drying and / or styling the hair. At least a portion of the composition is removed from the hair during rinsing and / or washing.

[0302] A "leave-in" product refers to a composition that is not rinsed and / or washed out of the hair after or during application of the composition to the hair. The composition remains on the hair during drying and / or throughout styling.

[0303] As used herein, all ranges provided are intended to include each specific range within the given ranges, as well as a combination of intermediate sub-ranges. Thus, a range of 1 to 5 specifically includes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as well as sub-ranges such as 2 to 5, 3 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 1 to 4, etc. All ranges and values ​​disclosed herein are inclusive and combinable. For example, any value or point described herein that falls within a range described herein may serve as a minimum or maximum value to derive a sub-range, etc.

[0304] The composition of the present case optionally includes one or more surfactants and / or emulsifiers, e.g., one or more nonionic, anionic, cationic, and / or amphoteric / zwitterionic surfactants. The terms "surfactants" and "emulsifiers" include salts of the surfactants and emulsifiers even if not explicitly stated. In other words, whenever the disclosure refers to a surfactant or emulsifier, it is intended that salts also be encompassed to the extent such salts exist, even though the specification may not specifically refer to a salt (or may not refer to a salt in all instances throughout the disclosure), e.g., by using language such as "their salt" or "their salts." Sodium and potassium are common cations that form salts with surfactants and emulsifiers.However, additional cations such as ammonium ions, or alkanolammonium ions such as monoethanolammonium or triethanolammonium ions, can also form surfactant salts.

[0305] The term "substantially free" or "essentially free" as used herein means that less than about 2% by weight of a specific material is added to a composition, based on the total weight of the compositions. However, the compositions may include less than about 1% by weight, less than about 0.5% by weight, less than about 0.1% by weight, or none of the specified material.

[0306] Any components positively presented in the present disclosure may be negatively excluded from the claims, for example, a claimed composition may be "free", "essentially free" (or "substantially free") of one or more components that are positively presented in the present disclosure.< / n>
