Description

Title of the invention: COMPOSITION COMPRISING A SPECIFIC CATIONIC SURFACTANT, AN AMPHOTERIC POLYMER AND AN OXIDIZING AGENT AND / OR AN OXIDATION DYE, AND METHOD FOR TREATING HAIR

[0001] The invention relates to a composition for the treatment of human keratinous fibers such as hair, comprising a specific cationic surfactant, an amphoteric polymer and an oxidizing agent and / or an oxidation dye, and a method for treating hair using the composition.

[0002] This is a known practice for dyeing and / or lightening keratinous fibers, and in particular human hair, with oxidizing compositions or dyeing compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, which are generally known as "oxidation bases", such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic bases.

[0003] Oxidation dye precursors are compounds that are initially colorless or only slightly colored, which develop their coloring power on the hair in the presence of oxidizing agents, resulting in the formation of colored compounds. The formation of these colored compounds results either from oxidative condensation of the "oxidation bases" with themselves, or from oxidative condensation of the "oxidation bases" with color-modifying compounds, or "couplers," which are generally present in the coloring compositions used in oxidation dyeing and are represented more particularly by meta-phenylenediamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds.

[0004] The variety of molecules used, consisting on the one hand of “oxidation bases” and on the other hand of “couplers”, makes it possible to obtain a very rich palette of colors.

[0005] But these treatments can damage the hair and its cosmetic properties. It is therefore necessary to provide consumers with hair dyeing and / or lightening products that provide good lightening and / or dyeing performance such as intensity, chromaticity, selectivity with a high level of cosmetic properties of said fibers, such as softness, smooth texture, ease of styling and detangling. These cosmetic properties can also be long-lasting.

[0006] The aim of the present invention is to provide new compositions which make it possible to improve the cosmetic properties of the hair, in particular the softness, while achieving good dyeing or lightening properties.

[0007] This objective is achieved with the present invention, which relates to a composition, in in particular for the treatment of keratinous fibers, and in particular human keratinous fibers such as hair, comprising a) one or more cationic surfactants of formula (I): (I)

[0008] RI and R2, identical or different, are a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon fraction comprising 11 to 23 carbon atoms and X- is a cosmetically acceptable counterion; and b) one or more amphoteric polymers and c) one or more chemical oxidizing agents and / or one or more oxidation dyes.

[0009] The present invention also relates to a method for treating keratinous fibers, such as dyeing and / or lightening keratinous fibers, preferably human keratinous fibers such as hair, using this composition. In particular, the present invention also relates to a particular method for dyeing keratinous fibers. The present invention also relates to a particular method for lightening keratinous fibers.

[0010] The composition of the invention is especially intended for the treatment of keratinous fibers, in particular human keratinous fibers such as hair, and makes it possible to obtain good cosmetic properties, in particular to improve softness.

[0011] Furthermore, when the composition according to the invention is used to dye keratinous fibers, good dyeing properties are obtained, in particular powerful, chromatic and non-selective colorings which show good resistance to the various attacks to which the hair can be subjected, such as washing with shampoo, light and sweat.

[0012] The composition according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain a good lightening effect on keratinous fibers without damaging them and without altering their cosmetic properties, in particular when they are used for bleaching.

The proportion of unsaturated fraction in these natural fatty acids can be adjusted so as to have an iodine value of between 40 and 160, in particular between 80 and 150, which is the case for the vegetable oils mentioned above.

[0034] The esterification may be carried out by any known means, in particular in the presence of a catalyst such as methanesulfonic acid, preferably in an inert atmosphere (e.g. nitrogen), preferably at a temperature of 160-240°C.

[0312] The cationic associative polyurethanes of formula (Ia) according to the invention are formed from diisocyanates and various compounds bearing functions containing labile hydrogen. The functions containing labile hydrogen may be alcohol, primary or secondary amine or thiol functions, giving, after reaction with the diisocyanate functions, polyurethanes, polyureas and polythioureas, res respectively. In the present invention, the term "polyurethanes" encompasses these three types of polymers, namely polyurethanes per se, polyureas and polythioureas, as well as their copolymers.

[0313] A first type of compound involved in the preparation of the polyurethane of formula (Ia) is a compound comprising at least one unit carrying an amine function. This compound may be multifunctional, but the compound is preferentially difunctional, that is to say that, according to a preferred embodiment, this compound includes two labile hydrogen atoms carried, for example, by a hydroxyl, primary amine, secondary amine or thiol function. A mixture of multifunctional and difunctional compounds in which the percentage of multifunctional compounds is low may also be used.

[0314] As mentioned above, this compound may include more than one unit containing an amine function. In this case, it is a polymer bearing a repetition of the unit containing an amine function.

[0315] Compounds of this type may be represented by one of the following formulas:

[0323] The hydrophobic group of the polyurethane of formula (Ia) may also result from the quaternization reaction of the tertiary amine of the compound including; at least; one tertiary amine unit. Thus, the hydrophobic group is introduced via the quaternization agent. This quaternizing agent is a compound of the type RQ or R'Q, in which R and R' are as defined above and Q denotes a leaving group such as a halide, a sulfate, etc.

[0421] Each composition is applied to strands of natural hair containing 90% white hair in a proportion of 10g of mixture to 1g of hair.

[0422] After a setting time of 30 minutes at 27°C, the hair is rinsed and dried.

[0423] Hair flexibility is assessed using the “curve compression method”.

[0424] The method uses rods to create a combined process that includes bending as well as compressing the hair. The hair strand moves through aligned rods. The rods bend the hair strand and compress it in the vertical plane. The force required to bend and compress the hair strand is measured. The lower the force required to bend and compress the hair, the more flexible the hair.

[0425] In the present example, the strands were passed through the rods at a speed of 100 mm / min. The assessment was carried out 5 times per strand. The force required to bend and compress the strand of hair was measured each time and the average force is shown in the table below.

[0428] Composition A makes it possible to considerably reduce the force required to bend and compress the strand of hair. We can conclude that composition A according to the invention improves the softness of the hair.

[0429] Furthermore, composition A according to the invention leads to good dyeing properties.

[0430] The composition according to the invention improves the softness of the hair, while retaining good dyeing properties.
