Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The claimed invention is directed to a hair conditioning composition comprising a silicone system including a first non-volatile silicone, a second non-volatile silicone, and an aminosilicone, and a gel matrix including a cationic surfactant, a fatty compound, and an aqueous carrier, and a method for reducing hair volume by applying the hair conditioning composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Hair is made up of many long protein chains made up of amino acid building blocks. These long chains, or polymers, are connected to one another by hydrogen bonds, salt bridges between acidic and basic groups, and disulfide bonds. Repeated washing with a mildly alkaline shampoo breaks these disulfide bonds, damaging the hair. This disrupts the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair strand, and generally makes the hair wet, tangled, and unmanageable. This contributes to split ends. When hair dries, it often becomes dry, brittle, and frizzy. In addition, brittle hair can have an uneven shine, lack luster, and appear dull. Dry hair also has increased levels of static electricity, making it difficult to comb, often referred to as "frizzy hair."

[0003] Hair that is thick and dense, especially in long hair, is difficult to manage and increases the accompanying conditions of "fluffy hair," excessive hair volume, and difficulty in volume control.

[0004] WO2012 / 072765A1 discloses a cosmetic composition comprising one or more non-volatile non-amino polydimethylsiloxanes, one or more acyclic liquid fatty acid esters of monoalcohols, and one or more aminosilicones.

[0005] EP 1 713 453 B1 describes a hair conditioning system which contains a mixture of two non-amino silicones and one amino silicone.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for hair conditioning compositions that improve hair manageability and reduce unwanted hair volume without sacrificing the other benefits of conventional hair conditioning compositions, such as shine and hair conditioning.

[0007] It is therefore an object of the claimed invention to provide a hair conditioning composition that improves hair manageability and reduces unwanted hair volume without compromising the other benefits of conventional hair conditioning compositions, such as shine and hair conditioning. Summary of the Invention

[0008] It has been surprisingly found that the addition of at least one high viscosity non-volatile silicone and at least one low viscosity non-volatile silicone improves hair manageability, reduces hair volume and reduces "frizzy" hair.

[0009] Thus, in one aspect, the claimed invention provides a hair conditioning composition comprising: (A) ≧2.0 to ≦10% by weight of a silicone-based material, (A1) at least one first non-volatile silicone having a viscosity at 25°C in the range of ≧40,000 to ≦90,000 mm2 / s, as determined in accordance with DIN 053019, and not containing amino groups; (A2) at least one second non-volatile silicone having a viscosity at 25°C in the range of ≥ 100 to ≤ 1000 mm2 / s, as determined in accordance with DIN 053019, and not containing amino groups; (A3) At least one aminosilicone selected from the group consisting of Quaternium 80 and bisaminopropylpolydimethylsiloxane Silicone-based, including; (B) a gel matrix, (B1) ≧0.1 to ≦20 wt % of at least one cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium compounds and amidoamines; (B2) ≧0.1 to ≦20% by weight of at least one aliphatic compound having a melting point of ≧25°C a gel matrix comprising: (C) at least one aqueous carrier wherein each of the weight percentages is based on the total weight of the hair conditioning composition.

[0010] In another aspect, the claimed invention provides a method for reducing hair volume, comprising: a) treating hair with a hair conditioning composition described herein; and b) contacting the hair with the hair conditioning composition for a period of time ranging from ≧1 to ≦60 minutes before the hair is dried. The present invention is directed to a method, including:

[0011] In another aspect, the claimed invention is directed to the use of the hair conditioning compositions described herein to reduce the volume of hair.

[0021] The measurement techniques described above and herein are well known to those skilled in the art and therefore are not intended to limit the claimed invention.

[0022] For the purposes of the claimed invention, the expression "conditioning the hair" means imparting beneficial properties to the hair. For example, "improved conditioning" may include improved detangling and / or combability. Detangling can be determined by measuring the time required to detangle the hair. The shorter the detangling time, the easier the hair is to detangle. Combability can be determined by measuring the effort required to comb the hair. The less combing effort, the easier the hair is to comb.

[0023] For purposes of the claimed invention, the term "hair" refers to keratinous fibers. The term "hair" includes "live" hair, i.e., biological hair, or "non-living" hair, i.e., wigs, hairpieces, or other collections of non-living fibers such as those used in fibers and textiles. In various embodiments, mammalian hair, e.g., human hair, is preferred. However, animal hair (such as dog or horse hair), wool, fur, and other keratinous fibers are also suitable for use in the methods and compositions described herein.

[0024] For purposes of the claimed invention, the terms "kinky" or "curly" hair mean that the hair includes short strands that stick out (e.g., at a parting or other locations along the length of the hair) and protrude from the main body of the hair; this type of kinky hair is particularly noticeable in individuals who have straight hair and are aiming for a sleek style. Additionally, "kinky" may also be used to refer to wavy or curly strands of hair that do not line up with other strands to form a distinct wave or curl.

[0025] For purposes of the claimed invention, the terms "improved shine" or "enhanced shine" and similar terms relating to shine mean that untreated hair, when treated with one or more compounds and subjected to photographic image analysis techniques, exhibits increased light reflectance (e.g., increased gloss and luster) compared to identical or similar hair that has not been treated with the same compounds.

[0026] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "alkyl" encompasses acyclic saturated hydrocarbon residues, which may be branched or straight-chained and unsubstituted or at least mono-substituted by 1 to 30 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30) C-atoms, as in the case of C1-C30 alkyl, or by 1 to 5 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) C-atoms, as in the case of C1-C5 alkyl.

[0109] [Test method] [Hair volume and hair body measurement] The definition of hair volume and body was essentially based on visual ("volume") and tactile ("body"). Visually perceived volume was measured by image analysis, for example, by photographing the shadow cast by a test strand of hair under appropriate lighting. Another measure of hair volume was the projected area based on images of the strand taken from four directions (see A. Boether, B. Primmel, W. Seidel, Haarkosmetisch bedingte Volumenaenderungen bestimmen, Parfuemerie und Kosmetik 79(10), 26 (1998)). The applied method was adapted to determine both visual and tactile volumes.

[0110] [Hair body test (touch volume)] The hair bundle was passed through a metal ring with a diameter of 20 mm (Examples 5 to 8) or 12 mm (Examples 9 to 12) and pulled, and the force required was measured. The greater the volume of the hair bundle, the greater the force required. The greater the resistance of the hair bundle when pulled, the greater its resistance to deformation (strengthening the hairstyle, increasing volume) (CR Robbins, Chemical and Physical Behavior of Human Hair, 5th Edition, p. 686 et seq., Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg 2012. ISBN 978-3-642-25610-3).

[0111] [Visible Volume Test] The hair bundle was illuminated from one side, and images were taken with a CCD camera mounted on the opposite side while the hair bundle was automatically rotated. The 3D shape of the hair bundle was calculated from the images taken from all directions, which represented the entire visible volume.

[0112] [Preparing hair strands for hair volume and body measurements] A 2.85 g, 17 cm long hair tress (a wavy, voluminous hair tress from China) was bleached to simulate damaged hair and then immersed in tap water (35°C ± 2°C) for 10 minutes. The tress was then adjusted to a relative humidity of 50% by weight, shampooed with a neutral shampoo (0.25 ml of NC shampoo per gram of hair was applied to the tress and massaged for 1 minute), and then rinsed with tap water (6 L / min; 35°C) for 1 minute. Then, 0.25 ml of the example conditioner per gram of hair was applied to the tress and massaged for 1 minute. The application time was 5 minutes at room temperature. The tress was rinsed with tap water (6 L / min, 35°C) for 1 minute and combed three times with the coarse side of a metal comb and three times with the fine side. The tresses were rolled and fixed in metal sleeves and stored overnight in a climate chamber (20°C; 65% relative humidity) and the actual volume / body was measured.

[0113] [result] After shampooing with a mild shampoo and treating with compositions a) to d), the visible volume and body of the tresses were measured (n=3). TIFF2025531361000009.tif40170TIFF2025531361000010.tif94170

[0114] [Discussion of results] The results clearly show that compositions containing two low and high viscosity non-volatile silicones in a gel matrix in combination with an aminosilicone (Examples 4 and 8) provided better hair manageability / volumization than the single dimethicone and aminosilicone combination in the same gel matrix (Examples 2, 3, 5, and 7). Thus, the combination of low and high viscosity non-volatile silicones with aminosilicones in a gel matrix demonstrated beneficial effects on hair manageability and hair volume reduction.

[0115] The results clearly show that a composition comprising two non-volatile silicones, low and high viscosity, in a gel matrix in combination with an aminosilicone provides the best hair manageability / volumization performance when the high viscosity silicone has a viscosity of about 60,000 mm / s (Claim 1.A1 of EP 22196994.2).Surprisingly, when the viscosity is much lower or much higher (10,000 or 100,000 mm / s, respectively, Examples 10 and 12), the hair manageability / volumization performance is indeed worse compared to the medium viscosity silicone (60,000 mm / s).

[0116] Therefore, the silicone combinations described in US 7887787 B2, which contain high viscosity silicones in the viscosity range of 300000-700000 mm2 / s-1, have worse hair manageability / volumization performance compared to the silicone combinations described in EP 22196994.2.
