Description

The invention relates to hair treatment compositions, in particular shampoos and so-called conditioners, with a combination of active ingredients for gentle and effective care of the hair.

The structure of human hair is influenced by external and internal factors. As external factors are in particular care products, frequency and intensity of shampooing, chemical influences (highlights, tinting, coloring, chlorinated water in swimming pools, etc.) mechanical influences (strong train eg by ponytail or Dutt hairstyles, constant wear of safety helmets) to mention thermal influences (hot blow-drying, perming or even the influence of ultraviolet light, eg due to constant sun exposure or solariums). The internal factors include sufficient sleep, adequate hydration through adequate drinking, balanced and vitamin-rich diet, as well as medical findings and the use of certain medications. A change in the hair structure throughout life may be triggered by a change in all of these factors either individually or in combination. Most of the time, the change is more likely to be from strong to fine hair, from glossy to dull, from smooth, silky to dull, straw-colored, from curly to thin, scalp-fitting, from loose-laced to greasy, greasy-haired hairstyles. Differences between men and women are in hair thickness and susceptibility to care mistakes. Since men usually have shorter hair than women, care mistakes are significantly less noticeable on the hair structure than in women. Minor changes in the hair structure are subject to each person in the course of his life. The gentler the hair is handled, the longer a normal, healthy hair structure is preserved. In order to compensate for structural damage to the hair, it has long been customary to subject hair to a special after-treatment. In this case, the hair is treated with special active ingredients, for example quaternary ammonium salts or special polymers, usually in the form of a rinse. Depending on the formulation, this treatment improves the combability, the hold and the fullness of the hair and reduces the splitting rate. These effects may be due to "extrastructural", for example, by deposition of substances on the hair surface (cuticle), or "intrastructural" by incorporation of substances into the cortex.

The inner structural strengthening of the keratin fiber is of particular importance, as it is longer lasting and more sustainable than the outer one.

It is an object of the present invention to provide hair treatment compositions which improve the inner hair structure and increase the hair conditioning effect of hair treatment agents and thus improve the combability, the hold and the fullness of the hair and reduce the splitting rate.

It has now been found that a special combination of active ingredients leads to a significantly improved inner-structural strengthening.

• - Additional viscosity regulators such as salts (NaCl).

The agents of the invention are preferably so-called rinse-off products, i. are rinsed out of the hair after a certain exposure time. This exposure time is preferably less than one hour, i. the consumer preferably does not leave the products until the next hair wash in the hair.

Another object of the present invention is therefore a method for hair treatment in which an inventive agent applied to damp hair, left there for a period of 30 to 300 seconds and then rinsed out.

The agents according to the invention lead to a significantly increased strengthening of the inner and outer hair structure.

1. a) Methionin,
2. b) Maleinsäure und/oder Bernsteinsäure
3. c) Tensid(en)

zur Stärkung der inneren Haarstruktur und zur Steigerung der haarkonditionierenden Wirkung von Haarbehandlungsmitteln.Another object of the present invention is therefore the use of mixtures

1. a) methionine,
2. b) maleic acid and / or succinic acid
3. c) surfactant (s)

to strengthen the internal hair structure and increase the hair conditioning properties of hair treatment products.

Structural strengthening in the sense of the invention is to be understood as meaning a reduction in the damage of keratinic fibers which has arisen due to the most diverse influences. Here, for example, the restoration of natural strength plays an essential role. Restructured fibers are characterized for example by an improved gloss, improved grip and easier combing. In addition, they have an optimized strength and elasticity. Successful structural reinforcement or restructuring can be physically detected as a melting point increase compared to the damaged fiber (DSC measurements).

With regard to preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention and the use according to the invention, what has been said about the agents according to the invention applies mutatis mutandis.
