Description
2~2e~s~
BACKGROUND
The use of isothiuronium dyes to color various fibers, including hair, has been reported by Guise and Stapleton in the Journal of the _Society of Dyers and Colorists at 91, pp.
259-264. In the Guise et al article, hair is dyed, with and without hydrogen peroxide and fixed with an ammonia wash. Thus, the use of the isothiuronium colorants in two (ie., dye, then wash) or three (ie., treat with peroxide, dye, then wash) steps has been described in the prior art.
The use of colorants in the second, or oxidizing, step of a two-step process for dyeing and perming hair at the same time is described in U.S. 4,630,621 to Pontani. The Pontani system uses a first reducing step to break the disulfide linkages in tha untreated hair and then uses an oxidizing step to rebound the- -disulfide linkages. Pontani adds colorants after the reducing step so that, via the second step, the hair is permed (ie., bound into a new configuration) and colored (via the action of the colorant) at the same time.

Guise et al, "New Approaches to Washfast Dyes for Wool: I.
Isothiuronium Salts as Protected Reactive Groups", Journ 1 of the Society of Dyes and Colorists, (July, 1978), pp. 223-8.
This publication deals with the stability of isothiuronium salts to hydrolysis depending upon the N-~ubstituent. No recitation o~ hair dyeing is found therein.
The Invention It has been found that hair can be colored with isothiuronium dyes in the initial, or reducing, step of a 2-step reduction/oxidation perming operation or immediately afterwards, but before rebonding (oxidation).
In a preferred embodiment, the dye of formula I, ~ C\I,,C~l-S~
)~lo~. (I) is applied along with thioglycollate to untreated hair and then treated with peroxide. The hair was dyed a yellow color.
~2~3~
Following six shampooings with a conventional shampoo, the change in Hunter Tristimulas values, as measured by the calculation~E= ( A L2+ ~ a2 + /\ b2)~,is only 0.21.
Thus, the washfastness of these colorants, when applied along with the reducing reagent in a reduction/oxidation perming system, is excellent.
Advantaqes of the Invention The invention has several advantages over other methods for coloring and perming hair.
Firstly, the dyeing composition is easy to formulate, since it contains only conventional reducing agentts) and isothiuronium salt~s).
Next, the application of the dye is less complex than some other, eg., oxidative, dyeing systems. The hair need not be- -pretreated with metal catalysts and/or pH modifiers before the colorant is applied.
In addition, the peroxide reagent which is applied after the reducing step is a conventional oxidizer. Thus, the need for costly oxidizers (ie., reforming agents) is eliminated.
The formulation of the dye/reducing agent combination requires only simple mixing. The high solubility of isothiuronium salts in aqueous systems, with or without alcohol solvents, assures this ease of mixing.
2 ~
Lastly, because the color-forming reaction takes place at the same time that the disulfide links are being broken, the likelihood of causing damage to the hair--eg., dryness, brittleness, breakage--~s minimized. In many dyoing/perming systems, the pre-treatment of the hair with a reducing agent weakens the hair shaft by increasing its porosity.
These and other advantages will be apparent after a consideration of the following description and claims.
Description of the Invention Unless otherwise stated, all percentages recited are weight percentages based on total composition weight.
The invention deals with compositions for both dyeing and perming (preferably reducing) hair in one step, as well as with a two-step sequence in which the perming and coloring step is followed by an oxidation step. The compositions used in the dyeing and perming step contain one or more isothiuronium dyes and one or more reducing agents.
2 ~
Isothiuronium Salts The isothiouronium salts which are useful in the invention are salts of formula II:
IAr - NH(CH2)n-Sc = NH2J X m (II) wherein:
Ar is an aromab~c moiety having up to five non-isothiouronium substituents, n is an integer from 1 to 5, and X is any suitable leaving group, preferably an anion selected from the group consisting RS03, of S04 Cl, Br, I, and F. X is more preferably a monovolent Br, I or RS03 group R is a residue of toluane, benzene or methane. R is preferably toluyl or methyl. Methyl is highly preferred.
"m" is generally 1 or 2, but preferably 1.
Useful Ar groups include substituted and unsubstituted phenyl, diphenyl, arylmethane, naphthyl, indole, anthiaquinone and naphthaquinone residues containing from 6 to 24 carbon atoms. Phenyl substituted phenyl anthraquinone and substituted anthaquinone groups are preferred. Nitrophenyl, hydroxynitrophenyl, aminonitrophenyl and methylaminanthraquinone residues are highly preferred.
~2~
The substituents on the Ar group may be any of a variety of groups commonly found in dye molecules. Thus, Cl, Br, I, F, N02, NH2, NRlR2, ORl, SRl, CN, CF3, C~O)NRlR2 and the like may be substituents. Generally, from 1 to 4 substituents will be on each ring of the Ar group.
Rl and R2 may be independently be H, Cl_6 alkyl, or Cl_6 mono- or polyhydroxy-alkyl. Alkyl groups bearing one or more of the substituents set out above are operable.
Mixtures of dyes are operable.
The number "n" can be any value from about 1 to about 5, with about 2 to about 4 preferred, and 2 or 3 highly preferred. The X moiety in formula II, can be any halide group. However, it is preferred that X be a Cl or Br group.
The dyes of the invention are prepared by the process set out in the Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colorists. at 91, pp. 259-264.
The use of other conventional dyes, as well as couplers and/or dye assistants, in suitable amounts is contemplated.
Reducina Aaents The reducing, or reforming, agents used in the conjoint relaxing and dyeing step are conventional.
Generally, the reductants are thioglycollic acid derivatives, such as sodium thioglycollate, ammonium thioglycollate, potassium thioglycollate, glycerol monothioglycollate, and the like~ Mixtures are operable.
In addition, other reducing agents which are conventionally used ln relaxing hair can be used. These include bisulfites, and the like.
Mixtures can be used.
Dye/Reducing Agent Combinations The dye and reducing agent are combined at dye/reducing agent ratios of about 1:100 to about 3:1, preferably about 1:20 to about 1:3, based upon weight proportions.
Generally, the dye and reducing agent are combined in an aqueous medium, which may, optionally, contain cosolvents, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, isopropanol, benzyl alcohol, and the like.
When diluents are present, they are used in quantities of from about 0.1 to about 20 wt. %.
The combination, or mixture, of the dye and reducing agent may be applied via conventional methods eg., spraying, brushing, rinsing, etc.
when it is of appropriate consistency, eg., liquid.
When a thickened co~position, eg., a gel or paste, is used, the application of the colorants may involve simple spreading or may include the use of foams or other more thixotropic forms.
When a foamable composition is de5ired, the presence of suitable amounts of one or more foaming agents is contemplated.
It is preferred that the dye/reducing agent combination have a pH of between about 4 and about 11, preferably about 5 to about 10 depending upon the reductant used. Buffers may be used.
2~2~5~
Oxidation Aents The second, or oxidation, step of the dyeing and perming or relaxing process--ie., the oxidation portion of the reduction/oxidation sequence--uses conventional oxidizing agents or oxidizers.
Useful oxidizers include: peroxides, bromates, and the like.
Mixtures are operable.
one preferred oxidizer or rebonding agent is hydrogen peroxide. Its use, with or without other oxidizers, is contempl~ted.
The oxidizing component is generally applied via an aqueous composition. When solutions in water or other conventional diluents are used, they usually contain from about 0.25 to about 4.5 wt. % of the oxidizer.
The oxidation agents, like the dye/reducing combinations, can be applied in various liquid and/or more thioxotropic forms, as well as via foams, gels, pastes and the like. The various additives discussed above may be used, in suitable quantities, in the oxidation agents.
When a peroxide oxidant is employed, one or more subsequent applications may be made to the hair in order to lighten the final color thereof.
The Total Colorina and Permin~ System In general, the dyeing and perming system of the invention involves two essential steps:
(1) contact~ng the hair with the combination of dye and reducing agent, and 2 ~
(2~ subsequently, contacting the hair with an oxidizing agent (ie., an oxidizing composition).
The Total Coloring and Permin~ System It is recommended that the hair be rinsed between steps (1) and (2) to stop the reaction and to minimize the risk of damage to the hair or skin. If desired, the reducing agent can be applied immediately before, in combination with, or after the dye in a separate step. It is a requirement of the invention that at least part of the isothiuronium salt used be applied to the hair before the final oxidizer is applied thereto.
The use of additional treatment(s) with oxidizing agent is contemplated. It should be noted that hydrogen peroxide can also function as a color modulator or lightener after the initial coloring operation is complete.
While they are not required, the use of supplemental agents, eg.
primary intermediates, couplers, auxiliary colorants and the like, is contemplated. When used, they will be present in amounts of about 10%
or less.
The dyeouts obtained using the coloring system of the invention are permanent, ie., do not wash out within ten shampooings, and are stable to subsequent processing of the hair. Accordingly, normal operations such as styling, blow drying, drying, hot curling, etc. can be carried out subsequent to the reducing and oxidizing steps without damaging the hair.
_g_ ~2~
Application Times The amount of time needed for each of the two essential steps varies with the nature of the relaxing system. Conventionally, the reducing step--or, in this case, the reducing and dyeing step -takes from about lO to about 60 minutes, perferably about 15 to about 30 minutes.
Following a water rinse to remove the excess reducing agent and excess colorant, the oxidizing composition is applied. Generally, the oxidation step will take from about 5 to about 30 minutes. While a simple rinse with oxidizer is operable, it is desirable that the oxidizer be applied as part of a shampoo composition and/or a conditioning composition. When applied via shampoo, 2 to 3 latherings are generally sufficient to ensure enough time for reaction.
When a conditioner is used as the vehicle for the oxidizer, it should be contacted with the hair for about 2 to about 20 minutes, preferably 5 to 15 minutes, to insure proper reaction.
Following the oxidation step, a water rinse is used to remove the reagent(s).
The dyeings obtained, while permanent, are removable to some extent. The use of reducing agents to effect reversal of the reaction is contemplated. The coloring and perming system described herein is adaptable for use as a kit. When a two-part kit is used, one container will house the reducing (perming) agent along with the dye, while the other will house the oxidizer. Alternatively, a three-part kit is usable. In such a kit, the reducing (perming) agent will be in one container, the dye in a second and the oxidizer in a third. The use of ~2'~
kit, the reducing (perming) agent will be in one container, the dye in a second and the oxidizer in a third. The USQ of a three-part kit may entail (a) premixing the contents of the first and second containers, or (b) applying their contents separately.
Substrates While this description refers to the treatment of hair on a living human head, it should be noted that the kits, compositions and processes described may be used on other substrates as well. For instance, non-living hair, eg., wigs, doll's hair, fur and the like, can also be treated using this system. In general, any fibrous keratinaceous substrate can be treated.
