Description
- 1~l37~1~5 HAIR CONDITIONING COMPOSITION CONTAINING
CATIONIC POLYMER AND AMPHOTERIC SURFACTANT AND
METHOD FOR USE
This invention relates to compositions that are useful in conditioning hair and to processes for condi-tioning hair that employ such compositions.
It is known in the prior art to treat hair with certain quaternary amine compounds for the purpose of conditioning hair i.e. to improve its combability, manage-ability, softness, etc. Although such prior art composi-tions have proven to be effective in varying degrees, one of the chief drawbacks has been the fact that the effect has not been long-lasting i.e. it does not survive repeated shampooings.
It has now been found that hair conditioning compo-sitions may be provided which are relatively stable to repeated shampooings by formulating such compositions so that they consist essentially of an aqueous solution containing a cationic polymer, an amphoteric detergent and sufficient acid to give the aqueous solution a pH
in the range of about 1 to 6.
It is accordingly an object of the present inven-tion to provide a hair conditioning composition that is stable to repeated hair shampooings.
It is also an object of the present invention to .~
1137~1S
provide a process for treating hair using the aforesaid composition which has a conditioning effect on the hair that is relatively stable to repeated shampooings.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a composition of the aforesaid type which consists essen-tially of an aqueous acidic solution containing a cationic polymer and an amphoteric detergent and to provide a process for treating hair with such a composition.
Other and more detailed objects of this invention will be apparent from the following description and claims.
The cationic polymers that are useful for the pur-poses of the present invention can vary somewhat. Two classes of polymers that have been found to be particularly useful are those sold under the trade names MERQUAT*te.g.
MERQUAT 100) and ONAMER*(e.g. ONAMER M). The former are polymers of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and are probably mixtures of compounds having the following formula:
(A) (B) ~ CH2~ CH21 CH2~
I FH fH I _ CH2 - CH fH
\ / \ + /
H3C CH3 n CH3 CH3 n These vary in molecular weight. Ordinarily, however, the polymers of this class that will be employed have a molecular weight in the range of from 4,000 to 550,000 and preferably in the range of from 20,000 to 100,000.
*Trademark ,: .
- 1137~L5 The ONAMæR type polymers that are useful for the present purposes are poly(dimethyl butenyl ammonium chloride)-~,~-bis(triethanol ammonium chlorides) that may be described by the general formula:
OH-CH2CH2 r ~CH3 1 /CH2CH2OH
CH2CH2 / N -N -CH2-CH = CH- CH2 ~ N ~ CH2CH2OH
OH-CH2CH2 _CH3 Cl CH2CH2OH
The molecular weights of these polymers that may be employed herein can also vary somewhat. For the most part, however, this will be in the range of from about 800 to 5000 and preferably, in the range of from about 1000 to 3000.
The quantity of cationic polymer contained in the present aqueous solutions will depend on the particular results that are desired. Ordinarily, this will consti-tute between about 0.4% to about 10% by weight based on the total weight of the aqueous composition with the optimal range being between about 1~ to about 5% on the same weight basis.
The second essential component of the compositions of this invention are the amphoteric detergents. A
characteristic of these materials is that many assume the character of an anionic or a cationic surfactant compound depending upon the pH of the solution in which it may be contained. There are a number of amphoteric detergents that are suitable for use in the present invention.
However, two classes of detergents have been found to be especially effective. The first class can be defined by the formula:
~, q .
~ 1~37~1S
CH2COONa R C C 2 2 2coo in which R is a long chain fatty radical containing from 10 to 18 carbon atoms. A typical example of such a compound or compounds is the case in which R represents coconut fatty radicals. A material of this character is sold under the trade name MIRANOL C2MSF and is described in the CTFA
Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary (1973) under the name AMPHOTERIC-2.
A second class of amphoteric detergents that is particularly effective for the purposes of the present invention can be defined by the formula:
wherein R is a long chain fatty alkyl group having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms. An example of such a detergent is marketed under the trade name DERIPHAT 170C in which the R in formula IV is a mixture of lauryl and myristyl fatty alkyl groups. This material is described in the CTFA
Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary (1973) as Lauraminopropionic Acid.
The quantity of amphoteric detergent which will be contained in the composition of this invention will vary *Trademark - 1137~1S
somewhat again depending on the economics and the results sought. However, usually this will be in the range of from about 0.2 to about 20% by weight and ideally in the range of from about 1% to about 5~ by weight based on the total weight of the composition.
Another essential feature of the present composition is that the solution have an acid pH that is a pH that falls in the range of from about 1 to 6. Any of a variety of acids may be used in adjusting the pH of these composi-tions to the proper level, hydrochloric, citric, and phosphoric acids were found to be particularly useful and suitable.
Although the cationic polymers, the amphoteric detergents and the acids mentioned above are the essential active ingredients in the present compositions, the compo-sitions contemplated by the present invention may also contain other ingredients which may serve to improve the organoleptic character of the product or its ease of application. Thus, it is within the purview of this invention to incorporate in the present compositions such materials as fragrances, thickening agents, fragrance solubilizers, etc.
Aside from the absolute quantities of the cationic polymer and amphoteric detergent contained in the present compositions, it has been found that their conditioning effectiveness is highly dependent upon the "molar ratio"
of polymer to detergent. The term "molar ratio" as used herein is designated by the letter a andis defined as:
a = [ Polymer (mer) ]
. .
~ Detergent (mol) ]
In the above expression and elsewhere in the specification and claims, the term rPolymer (mer)] refers to the number of molS
of the repeating units of the polymer bearing a single positive - charge contained in the composition. The term [Detergent (mol)]
in the aforesaid expression and elsewhere is defined as the 1~L3"79~1~
number of mols of detergent contained in the composition. The ratio ~ may vary somewhat. Ordinarily, this will be in the range of Crom about .2 ~o abou~ ~ ana pre~erably in the range of from about l to about 2.
The compositions of this invention may be applied to hair in any suitable manner. One typical procedure involves applying the conditioning composition, such as described in Example 1 below to freshly dyed or bleached hair, working it gently into the hair mass, leaving the said composition on hair for one to three minutes and rinsing the hair thor-oughly with water prior to combing and drying. Amount of the conditioning composition applied to hair may vary but, in general, should not be less than l~ of the hair weight and does not need to exceed 20% of the hair weight.
It is generally visualized that the compositions of this invention will be applied to hair that has previously been given a treatment that leaves the hair somewhat alkaline.
Typical of such treatment are treatments with oxidation hair dye systems ~r bleaching systems. One such treat~ent involves mixing a dye base containing among other things the oxidation dye inter-mediates with an aqueous vehicle containing an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide and then shampooing this mixture into the hair. These mixtures before being applied to thehair usually have an alkaline pH e.g. in the range of from 7 to 12 and pre-ferably 8 to ll. Another such treatment involves for example treating the hair with an alkaline bleaching solution which con-tains the usual oxidizing agent (e.g. agueous hydrogen peroxide), boosters (e.g. potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate), alkalizing agents, etc.
When the compositions of this invention are applied to hair that has been previously treated as indicated above the com-~
bination of amphoteric detergent and cationic polymer precipi-tates out on the hair forming a conditioning complex that is highly resistant to repeated shampooings.
374~.5 The pH of the hair conditioning compositions that are employed in the present invention will be selected to some extent on the basis of the alkalinity of the hair to be treated and the relative amounts of cationic polymers and amphoteric detergent. In general, the pH is selected so that after the composition is applied to the hair and comes under the influence of the alkalinity of the hair that the pH
of the composition is increased by approximately 1 pH unit above which t~ pre~ipitation of the complex takes place. Generally, under these conditions the optimum precipitation of the condit-ioning complex appears to take place.
The following Examples are given to further illus~rate the present invention. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited thereto.

manageability, softness, etc. but unlike the conventional products, their conditioning effects are stable to repeated shampooings. This conditioning durability is illustrated in the following experiment, the dyed hair being used as the test substrate.
Swatches of intact Caucasian hair were colored with Composition A below for 20 minutes, in accordance with the procedure of the instructions. The ratio of the amount of solution to weight of hair, temperature and quantity of water used for rinsing after treatment, were all maintained so as to simulate conditions on the head. After rinsing, the conditioning material of Example 1 above was applied to hair (0.1 g of each product per 1 g of hair), it was worked in for 30 seconds and left on the hair for additional 1 minute after which time the hair was rinsed and combed.
The combing measurements were performed by the procedure described in the paper by Garcia and Diaz (J. Soc. Cosmet.
Chem. 27, 379-398, 1976). The test essentially involves passing of a hair tress through a comb attached to a strain gauge which in turn is connected to a recording device. Work is expended to accomplish the passage of the hair tress through the comb, and this work, read off the integrator, is the objective measure of combing ease/
difficulty.
Having determined the combing properties of hair after coloring and conditioning treatments, the swatches were shampooed with Herbal Essence Shampoo three times and again tested for combing. The shampooing procedure involved application of the shampoo (0.1 g per 1 g of hair), working it into the hair over the period of 60 seconds to produce a copious lather and rinsing the shampooed hair for at least 1 minute. Each shampoo step consisted of two lathering/rinsing sequences.

Both tresses were thoroughly rinsed and found to be soft and silky to feel and easy to comb. Both tresses were then shampooed once and compared again. This time the conventionally conditioned tress felt sticky, rubbery and difficult to comb; while the tress that had been treated with conditioning compo-sition given in Example 3 retained the softness of feel and ease of combing. These conditioning attributes were still much in evidence for this tress after as many as 4 shampooings.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific forms thereof, it will be understood that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of this invention.

The following procedures illustrate the use of the conditioning agent of this invention after a hair bleaching treatment. It has been found that treatment of bleached hair with the present compositions also improves its feel and combability.
Two 3 gram swatches of brown Caucasian hair were bleached for 1 hour at 30C with 20 grams of the following bleach composition.

Both tresses were thoroughly rinsed and found to be soft and silky to feel and easy to comb. Both tresses were then shampooed once and compared again. This time the conventionally conditioned tress felt sticky, rubbery and difficult to comb; while the tress that had been treated with conditioning compo-sition given in Example 3 retained the softness of feel and ease of combing. These conditioning attributes were still much in evidence for this tress after as many as 4 shampooings.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific forms thereof, it will be understood that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of this invention.
