Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates primarily to compositions suitable for reshaping, preferably straightening, keratinous fibers such as hair. [Background technology]

[0002] Straightening keratinous fibers such as hair by heating the keratinous fibers with an iron is popular for making unruly keratinous fibers easier to manage, reducing the volume of the keratinous fibers, and making them look more desirable.Straightening methods using such heated irons are convenient for instant styling, but the style only lasts for a short time, for example, until the next hair wash.Many consumers need a long-lasting straightening method.

[0003] On the other hand, the conventional permanent hair straightening method using reducing and alkaline agents and oxidizing agents and heating can provide keratin fibers with a long-lasting style, but has several drawbacks such as long processing time, damage to keratin fibers and bad odor.

[0004] WO2014 / 131469 discloses a method for straightening keratinous fibers by heating with an iron without the use of reducing and oxidizing agents, in which glyoxylic acid is used to straighten the keratinous fibers.

[0005] US-A-2023 / 742 discloses a semi-permanent hair straightening composition comprising 15% to 20% by weight of glyoxylic acid and 0.1% to 5% by weight of levulinic acid. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] After extensive investigation, the inventors have discovered that it is possible to provide a composition useful for reshaping keratinous fibers, such as hair, based on treating the keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof, which is capable of providing a longer-lasting reshaping effect on the keratinous fibers.

[0026] The present invention therefore primarily relates to a composition for keratinous fibers, such as hair, comprising: (a) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glyoxylic acid, glyoxylic acid solvates, glyoxylates, glyoxylate esters, glyoxylate amides, and mixtures thereof; (b) at least one compound, different from the (a) compound, selected from the group consisting of keto acids, their salts, and mixtures thereof; and (c) at least one fatty amine The present invention relates to a composition comprising:

[0027] The present invention is based on treating keratinous fibers with glyoxylic acid or a derivative thereof, thereby enabling improved reshaping of keratinous fibers, such as hair, by providing a longer lasting reshaping effect.

[0028] Reshaping keratinous fibers, such as hair, as used herein includes straightening or curling keratinous fibers.

[0029] The present invention can provide a longer-lasting reshaping effect on keratinous fibers such as hair. Thus, the present invention can extend or prolong the reshaping effect on keratinous fibers provided by using a composition containing only glyoxylic acid or its derivatives. In particular, the present invention can further maintain the straight or curled shape of keratinous fibers, or prevent or reduce the loss of the straight or curled shape of keratinous fibers over time.

[0030] For example, when the keratin fibers are originally wavy, the present invention can better prevent the keratin fibers from returning to their original wavy shape after straightening the keratin fibers, especially after washing.

[0031] The present invention can also provide a sufficiently immediate reshaping effect to keratinous fibers. For example, keratinous fibers treated according to the present invention to straighten them can have less volume or frizz, due to the reduced curl of the keratinous fibers. The reshaping effect provided by the present invention can last for a long time, for example, even after washing the keratinous fibers. Thus, the present invention can also provide a shape of keratinous fibers that is more resistant to washing.

[0032] The present invention can result in less damage to keratinous fibers compared to conventional permanent reshaping methods, since it does not require the use of any reducing / oxidizing agents.Therefore, the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention can be easily combed.Therefore, the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention can be easily handled.In addition, the keratinous fibers treated by the present invention can be stronger than those treated by conventional permanent reshaping methods.

[0033] In addition, the present invention can use no or very little ammonia or thiol compounds, and therefore can reduce odor during use of the present invention compared to conventional methods that require the use of ammonia or thiol compounds.The present invention also allows good ease of use, for example, short processing time.

This washing step may be carried out, for example, by washing the keratinous fibers with shampoo, followed by rinsing the keratinous fibers. After rinsing, the keratinous fibers may be dried. The keratinous fibers are preferably wet immediately prior to step (i).

[0195] In step (i), the composition according to the invention as described above is applied to keratinous fibres such as hair. The application of the composition according to the invention can be carried out by any means, such as by a brush or a comb.

[0198] After step (i), the method according to the invention may comprise an optional step (ii) of rinsing the keratinous fibers, with or without drying the keratinous fibers after rinsing.

[0199] Therefore, when step (ii) is present, the keratinous fibers are rinsed in order to remove the composition according to the invention from the keratinous fibers. The rinsing step may be carried out using water. The keratinous fibers are preferably dried after rinsing. Drying of the keratinous fibers can be carried out by conventional drying means such as a hair dryer.

[0200] On the other hand, if step (ii) is not present, after step (i), the keratinous fibers can be treated with step (iii) without rinsing.

Thus, the reshaping means may be at least one heated iron and / or at least one heated curler and / or at least one heated comb and / or at least one heated dryer capable of blowing hot gas such as hot air. It may be preferred to use at least one heated iron and / or at least one heated curler.

[0204] The heating iron may be any conventional heating iron. The heating iron may have at least one plate, preferably two plates, which may be heated, for example, by electric heat. The heated plate may be applied onto keratin fibers and moved along the direction of the keratin fibers to straighten the keratin fibers.

[0205] The heating iron preferably has two plates, and the keratin fibers are sandwiched between the two plates of the heating iron, at least one of which can be heated, and then the two plates are moved along the direction of the keratin fibers to straighten the keratin fibers.

[0206] It is preferred that the heating iron, and in particular the part thereof (such as one or more heating plates) in contact with the keratinous fibers, has a temperature of more than 50°C and less than 250°C, more preferably more than 100°C and less than 240°C, even more preferably more than 150°C and less than 230°C.

[0207] Step (iii) can be carried out by one or more strokes of the heating iron moving along the direction of the keratinous fibers. Step (iii) can be controlled not only by the temperature of the heating iron but also by the number of strokes of the heating iron.

[0208] The heating time may depend on the temperature of the heating iron, but also on the number of strokes of the heating iron, and may be, for example, from 1 second to 10 minutes, preferably from a few seconds to 5 minutes.

[0209] As the heated curler, any conventional heated curler may be used. When the keratin fibers are wound around the heated curler, this winding may be performed over the entire length of the keratin fibers or, for example, over half the length of the keratin fibers. For example, the winding may be performed in more or less thick bundles, depending on the shape of the desired hairstyle and the amount of curl.

[0210] The heated curler, particularly parts thereof such as the heating rod and the heating cover, which are in contact with the keratinous fibers, preferably have a temperature of more than 50°C and less than 250°C, more preferably more than 100°C and less than 240°C, even more preferably more than 150°C and less than 230°C.

[0211] Step (iii) can be carried out by maintaining the keratinous fibers on heated curlers such that a mechanical tension is applied to the keratinous fibers. Step (iii) can be controlled not only by the temperature of the heated curlers but also by the intensity of the mechanical tension.

[0212] The heating time may depend on the temperature of the heating curler, but also on the strength of the mechanical tension, and may be, for example, from 1 second to 10 minutes, preferably from a few seconds to 5 minutes.

[0213] Optionally, prior to step (ii), a mechanical tension may be applied to the keratinous fibres as described above.

[0223] The present invention will now be described in a more detailed manner by means of examples, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0224] (Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2) [Preparation] Each of the compositions according to Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was prepared by mixing the components shown in Table 1. The numerical values ​​for the amounts of the components are all based on "mass %" of the raw materials.

[0225] [Table 1]

[0226] [evaluation] Each of the above compositions was used to straighten hair swatches, which were then evaluated according to the following protocol. 1) A Chinese black natural colored slightly wavy hair swatch (27 cm long) was washed with the SLES shampoo composition shown in Table 2 below. The hair swatch was thoroughly rinsed with tap water.

[0227] [Table 2]

[0228] 2) Each of the compositions according to Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was applied in an amount of 0.6 g onto a wet hair swatch. 3) The hair sample was left at room temperature (25°C) for 10 minutes. 4) The hair swatches were thoroughly rinsed with tap water. 5) The hair sample was dried with a hair dryer (Nobby NB3100, Tescom Denki Co., Ltd.) for approximately 90 seconds until dry. 6) The hair swatches were subjected to straightening by straightening with a hair iron (ADST Premium DS2, Hakko Denki Co., Ltd.) at 180° C., 4 seconds / stroke, 3 strokes. 7) Immediately after step 6, the hair swatches were visually evaluated for straightening level under the following criteria (straightening effect at TO): 5: Very good 4: Good 3: Normal 2: Bad 1: Very poor The results are shown to the left of the " / " in the row "Hair straightening effect (T0 / T1sh)" in Table 1. 8) A photograph was taken of the hair swatch immediately after step 6 and the area of ​​the hair swatch (expressed in pixels) was determined with the open source public domain software Image J. The results are shown to the left of the " / " in the row "Area (T0 / T1sh)" of Table 1. 9) The hair swatches were washed again with the SLS shampoo composition shown in Table 2, rinsed thoroughly with tap water, and dried with a hair dryer (approximately 90 seconds until dry). 10) The straightening level and area of ​​the hair swatches were evaluated again as described above (T1sh). The results are shown to the right of the " / " in the rows "Straightening Effect (T0 / T1sh)" and "Area (T0 / T1sh)" in Table 1.

[0229] The evaluation results in Table 1 show that the use of a fatty amine together with the combination of glyoxylic acid and levulinic acid can further maintain the straight shape of hair or suppress the increase in hair volume that reflects the non-straightening or wavy nature of hair, compared to the use of the combination of glyoxylic acid and levulinic acid alone.
