Definitions

  • the instant disclosure relates to hair cosmetic compositions that are particularly useful for improving the quality of hair, in particular, curly hair, and which can impart durable styling/shaping attributes to hair. Also disclosed are methods for using the hair cosmetic compositions. BACKGROUND
  • compositions that enhance the appearance of keratinous substrates such as hair, e.g., by changing the color, style, and/or shape of the hair, and/or by imparting various cosmetic properties to hair, such as shine and conditioning.
  • Many of the known compositions and processes for enhancing or preserving the appearance of hair involve chemical treatments to the hair.
  • the process of changing the color of hair can involve depositing an artificial color onto the hair which provides a different shade or color to the hair, and/or lifting the color of the hair, such as lightening the color of dark hair to lighter shades, which m requires the use of oxidizing agents.
  • hair care products referred to as “hair relaxers” or “hair straighteners” can relax or straighten curly or kinky hair, including wavy hair. Straightening or relaxing the curls of very curly hair may increase the manageability and ease of styling of such hair. Compositions for permanent waving the hair will impart a curl or a wave to otherwise straight hair.
  • compositions can be applied onto hair in order to change its shape and make it more manageable, such as alkaline and acidic compositions.
  • Hair relaxers, straighteners, perms, and/or waves may either be applied in a hair salon by a professional or in the home by the individual consumer.
  • While dyeing or color lifting compositions can effectively alter the color of hair, and relaxing, straightening, perming, and waving compositions can effectively alter the shape of the hair, these chemical treatments can damage the hair fibers and/or irritate the scalp.
  • different types of hair styling products have been developed by manufacturers that are aimed to help consumers achieve a desired look, including one or more of fuller hair, thicker hair, sleek and straight hair, frizz-free hair, and defined curls. These products are typically provided in forms that are applied after the shampooing and conditioning processes are completed.
  • hair products that have a natural look and feel, a light-weight feel, while imparting longer-lasting styling or shaping benefits to hair.
  • consumers seek products that offer multiple benefits, for example, combining frizz reduction and style hold with softening, elongation or lengthening effects while still providing good curl definition.
  • consumers desire hair products that can protect hair from external factors such as high humidity which causes the hair to become very frizzy, unmanageable, and lose its shape and style or such as mechanical or physical or other external stresses on hair.
  • One important property sought by consumers of such products is their ability to provide longer lasting style or shape to the hair; for example, a style or shape that lasts over a certain period of time such as overnight or can easily be regained when the consumer wakes up with no or minimal reapplication of the styling product and/or with no or minimal manipulation of the hair to restyle or re-shape the hair and/or with no utilization of mechanical or physical styling devices such as hair rollers, hair pins and clips, head bands, or head caps.
  • hair products which have excellent style memory as well as long-lasting and/or night care benefits. While different technologies and products exist in the market for hair styling products, there is still a need for improvement in these areas as well as at the same time, the need to provide caring benefits that are not found in a typical or conventional styling product.
  • the object of this invention is related to a composition and method of treating hair utilizing hair compositions which will deliver both caring and styling/shaping benefits that are long lasting or durable and can be maintained overnight or when the hair is subjected to changes in the hair shape or style or configuration, and/or to disturbance of the hair fibers and/or to movement of the hair fibers as a result of sleeping or lying down and resting the head on a bed or other surface or the back part of a seat and/or as a result of wearing a head cap or cover.
  • Such styling/shaping benefits are for example, curl definition, as frizz control, discipline, shape control/hold, softness, smoothness, shine, natural feel, hydration, and light weight feel.
  • the object of the invention is also to deliver all other styling benefits that curly haired consumers desire on a daily basis: curl definition, moisture, conditioning, hold, frizz control, curl/shape retention, curl pick up, moisture to curls, and not leaving the curls feeling greasy or stiff.
  • the composition from such an invention can be applied on wet or damp hair using various techniques such as “wash and go” or “twist out” methods. “Wash and go” involves applying the product, section by section, to wet or damp hair and letting it air dry. The “twist out” method involves manipulating the curl pattern in order to provide elongation while maintaining other styling benefits. It can be done by applying the product on wet hair and twisting small sections of the hair and letting it air dry.
  • Another object of the invention is deliver the above-described benefits without having to re-apply the product to hair and/or without requiring a lot of time re-styling or re shaping the hair after a period of time from the first application.
  • the invention is particularly useful for treating and providing the described properties to hair that is wavy to curly such as hair that is wavy to moderately curly hair.
  • compositions and methods of treating hair according to the present invention impart durable styling/shaping attributes, including curl definition, curl retention, curl pick up, frizz control, volume control, control/hold, discipline, as well as other cosmetic benefits such as fast/easy styling or shaping, hydration, moisture, and smoothness to the hair, while still providing a light weight feel and a clean feel (non-greasy, non-oily) to the hair.
  • One aspect of the invention pertains to a hair cosmetic composition comprising:
  • At least one cationic surfactant including a cationizable surfactant
  • the method comprises applying any of the compositions described herein to hair.
  • the composition is applied to hair, including curly hair, as part of a hair styling/shaping or caring routine.
  • the composition is applied after treating the hair with a shampoo and/or conditioner and/or a masque (mask).
  • the composition is used as a styling/shaping product.
  • FIG. 1 includes pictures of hair swatches treated with the invention and comparative test formulas at time period (T2); i.e., at post-breaking (running the fingers through the hair), after treating the hair and an overnight period of at least 8 hours.
  • T2 time period
  • post-breaking running the fingers through the hair
  • hair cosmetic composition encompasses many types of compositions for application to the hair, for example, hair lotions, hair emulsion creams, hair gel creams, hair conditioners, hair masques (masks), etc., which can be used either as leave-on or rinse-off treatments or products.
  • a hair cosmetic composition according to the invention is characterized by its ability to provide a cosmetic (such as styling/shaping and caring) benefit to the hair.
  • Non-limiting examples of benefits that can be imparted by the compositions of the present invention to hair include long lasting or durable style/shape, as well as one or more of frizz control, curl definition, curl retention, curl pick-up, styling/shaping, discipline, volume control, hold/control, manageability, smoothness, softness, suppleness, hydration (does not feel dry) and natural feel.

  • Table 7 Comments and observations by volunteers The results in Table 6 above show that the inventors surprisingly discovered a combination of ingredients that resulted in a composition that provided good styling and shaping hold, including curl definition that is long lasting, good frizz control, soft feel and hydrated feel, and other cosmetic attributes to hair even when the hair was treated the night before with the invention formula and it was slept on overnight. The morning after treating the hair, many of the volunteers found that it was easier, faster to style the hair, thereby leading to a simplification of the morning routine. These results demonstrate that compared to Comparative Formula G, the invention delivered night caring and styling benefits, including long lasting curl definition and long lasting frizz control to hair.
  • compositions that when applied to hair provided night caring and styling benefits, long lasting styling and shaping hold, including curl definition, good frizz control, no product build-up, detangling, and other cosmetic attributes to hair even when the hair was slept on for several hours (whether at night or during the day).
