Description

The The invention relates to a sprayable Hair treatment gel containing at least one thickening agent containing thixotropic behavior and optionally pigments, the use of a thixotropic thickener for stabilization insoluble Pigments in sprayable Gels, the use of the gel for shaping and / or glossing the hair and a corresponding method for shaping and / or Shining of the hair.

keratin Fibers, especially human hair, become one nowadays Subjected to a variety of treatments. There are treatments, which serve a permanent or temporary shaping of the hair, to get attractive-looking hairstyles, an important role. Due to current fashion trends Again and again, hairstyles are considered chic, affecting many hair types only build up using certain firming agents or for a longer one Period maintained, Unlike a permanent Deformation of the hair due to a chemical attack in the Hair structure using a permanent wave means to achieve a temporary one Forming hair treatment products for use, whose essential Components are film-forming polymers. As temporary shapes For example, there are designs such as curl, smoothing, toupling or consolidation in question. Temporary shapes, the one should give good support, without the healthy appearance of the hair, such as. their gloss, to impair can for example, by styling agents, such as hair sprays, hair waxes, Hair gels, hair fixatives, hair drier, Styling sprays, etc. are achieved. The temporary shaping is also called Hair styling or Styling designates, styling agents are also used as a styling agent designated.

Next The hair-fixing properties of these products are often too have glossing effects. This is determined by the addition of certain insoluble Achieves pigments that produce light reflections on the hair.

Out The prior art are as possible Application form of styling agents higher viscosity hair gels known have the shaping properties, containing such pigments and also the desired one Cause gloss. These gels are made from a tube or a tube Taken from crucible, first rubbed in the hand and then on the Hair spread. Due to the high viscosity of these gels remain the solid Pigment particles also over longer periods distributed in the gel and do not sediment.

Of others are lower viscosity hair gels from the prior art known, dealing with a usual mechanical spraying device, e.g. a spray pump, or with a propellant from a conventional aerosol pressure vessel with a usual one spray nozzle spray as a finely divided gel to let. The sprayable Gels are much easier to dose and distribute in the hair as the high-viscosity gels. Those known from the prior art sprayable Hair gels have good hair-firming properties. Furthermore are known from the prior art and sprayable hair gels, the contain solid pigments. A disadvantage of the prior art known sprayable Hair gels, however, is that added glossy solid pigments sometimes fast, sometimes longer periods in the spray bottles sediment, making these products visually unsatisfactory are.

There the sight of a transparent viscous gel in a transparent container an aesthetic pleasure and of particular charm, there is a strong interest in one Hair gel, which has the known advantages of the sprayability has, but at the same time overcomes the disadvantages mentioned.

It Thus, it was an object of the present invention to provide a sprayable hair gel provide in the solid pigments even after long storage do not sediment.

These Task is by providing a sprayable gel for treatment hair containing at least one thixotropic thickener Behavior, solved.

One The first object of the present invention is therefore a sprayable gel for the treatment of the hair, containing at least one thickener with thixotropic behavior.

The dependent claims represent preferred embodiments this subject invention.

Another object is the use of this gel for temporary shaping / glossing The Hair.

One Another object of the present invention is the use Thixotropic thickener for stabilization insoluble Pigments in sprayable Gels.

Finally is Another object of the invention is a method for temporary hair shaping / glossing.

Under Thixotropic behavior is understood to mean the phenomenon that Gels when exposed to mechanical forces, e.g. by stirring or Shake, liquefy, but solidify again after the end of the mechanical stress.

in the Framework of the present invention underlying investigations was found surprising that hair treatment gels containing at least one thickener contain thixotropic property, are very sprayable and solid pigment particles longer periods, of more than 6 months, keep stable in solution without sedimenting.

The gel according to the invention with a usual mechanical spraying device, such as. a spray pump, or with a propellant from a conventional aerosol pressure vessel with a usual one spray nozzle sprayed as a finely divided gel. By its sprayability the gel according to the invention can be dosed more accurately and evenly distributed on the hair be as usual Gels that hold solid pigments stable in solution and because of their high viscosity be offered in tubes or crucibles. In addition, can be through the gels of the invention a contamination of the hands avoid by the gel.

Of another holds the gel of the invention solid Pigment particles stable over longer periods of more than 6 months in solution and is therefore visually appealing even after long storage periods unlike commercial ones pigmented spray gels, in which already after a few weeks of storage significantly Sedimentationserscheinungen to be watched.
