Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to hair cosmetics.

Background Art

[0002] Hair is exposed to various damage factors in daily life, such as ultraviolet rays from sunlight, heat from a dryer, chemical treatments such as perms and hair colors, and friction from shampooing and brushing. Due to the accumulation of these, damaged hair becomes prone to dryness, has poor combability, and loses its luster. In such circumstances, hair cosmetics such as hair conditioners and hair treatments are used to maintain the health of hair, and these hair cosmetics provide moisture to the hair and exhibit various conditioning effects such as improving combability and luster.

[0003] Hair cosmetics such as hair conditioners are usually applied to the hair after shampooing with shampoo in the bathroom and then rinsed off. In order to enhance the immediate sense of effect, not only the feel of the hair after drying but also the feel of the hair during rinsing is important. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose hair cosmetics that are excellent in the smoothness of the hair during rinsing. However, with these hair cosmetics, it sometimes takes time to rinse them off, or stickiness may remain after rinsing. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of hair cosmetics that combine the smoothness of the hair during rinsing, good rinsability, and non-stickiness of the hair after rinsing. Patent Document 3 proposes a hair cosmetic that is excellent in the smoothness of the hair during rinsing and does not leave stickiness after rinsing.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] For example, by using various hair cosmetics as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is considered that the texture of the hair, such as the neatness and the moist feeling at the time of finishing, becomes good. However, in recent years, for the purpose of further hair damage care and improvement of the touch, after washing and rinsing with the above-mentioned hair cosmetics, or after bathing or styling, etc., the use of outburst treatment has been increasing. As this type of outburst treatment, for example, hair oil is used for the purpose of maintaining the moisture of the hair, giving luster, and protecting the hair from the heat of the dryer. As this type of hair oil, various products are sold according to the differences in individual hair quality and the desired finished touch. For example, there are oils with a heavy touch that are excellent in the feeling of the hair being gathered together, and oils with a light touch that are excellent in the smooth feel of the hair. Here, when applying a hair oil with a high viscosity, since it has a thickness when applied to the hair, it was easy to spread it evenly over the entire hair. However, when using a hair oil with a low viscosity, for example, after washing and rinsing with a hair cosmetic as described in Patent Document 3, etc., it immediately penetrates into the hair and has no thickness, so sufficient spreadability cannot be obtained, and various effects of the hair oil may not necessarily be obtained sufficiently.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hair cosmetic that is excellent in the smoothness of the hair during rinsing, can be rinsed off in a short time, leaves no stickiness on the hair after rinsing, and can be spread evenly without unevenness even when applying a low-viscosity hair oil to the hair after applying a hair cosmetic.
