FR3072570A1 - CAPILLARY TREATMENT AGENT STRENGTHENING THE STRUCTURE WITH INCREASED CARING EFFECT - Google Patents

Abstract

Hair treatment agents which contain, based on their weight, from 0.0001 to 20% by weight of methionine, from 0 to 5% by weight of maleic acid, from 0 to 5% by weight of succinic acid, total amount of maleic and succinic acids relative to the total agent being from 0.001 to 10% by weight and the active principle (s) selected from the group of cationic polymers containing quaternary ammonium compounds, fatty alcohols and silicones, result in a strengthening of the internal structure of the hair and an increase in the capillary conditioning effect of the hair treatment agents and thus improve the possibilities of combing, the maintenance and the volume of the hair, and decrease the frequency of pointed forks.

Description

The invention relates to hair treatment agents, in particular shampoos and conditioners, with a combination of active ingredients for gentle and effective hair care.

The structure of the human hair is influenced by external and internal factors. External factors include hygiene products, the frequency and intensity of hair washing, your chemical influences (wicks, dye, coloring, chlorinated water in your pools, etc.), your mechanical influences (strong constraints such as e.g. your ponytail or bun hairstyle, frequent wearing of protective helmets), thermal influences (heat of the hair dryer, permanent or even influence of ultraviolet light, for example by permanent exposure to the sun or in your solariums). Internal factors include: adequate sleep, adequate hydration through adequate water consumption, a balanced diet rich in vitamins, as well as health status (clinical picture) and taking certain medications.

A change in hair structure over the course of life can be triggered by a change in these factors, individually or in combination. Most of the time, the change is in your sense of strong hair becoming fine hair, shiny hair becoming dull, smooth and silky to dull and straw-colored, from rather curly to fine, pressed against the scalp, slackened and airy to oily and sticky, and vice versa.

The differences between your men and women on this subject relate to hair thickness and sensitivity to maintenance errors. Since men generally have shorter hair than women, your maintenance errors on the structure of the hair are much less visible than in women.

Each person experiences minor changes in the structure of their hair during their lifetime. The more the hair is handled with care, the more the hair structure is healthy and normal over time.

The solution of subjecting your hair to further treatment in order to compensate for the damage caused to the structure of the hair has been known for a long time. In this case, your hair is treated with special active ingredients, for example quaternary ammonium salts or special polymers, usually in the form of a conditioner. Depending on the formulation, this treatment improves the possibility of combing, maintaining and volume of hair, and reduces the frequency of split ends. These effects can be caused "outside the structure", for example by depositing substances on the surface of the hair (cuticle) or "in the structure" by incorporating substances into the cortex. The internal structural reinforcement of the keratinous fiber is of particular importance, because it is more persistent and more durable than the external reinforcement.

The present invention aims to provide hair treatment agents resulting in a strengthening of the internal structure of the hair as well as an increase in the capillary conditioning effect of the hair treatment agents and thus improving your possibilities of combing, maintenance and volume of hair, and decreasing the frequency of split ends.

It has now been found that a special combination of active ingredients provides significantly increased internal strengthening.

The first object of the present invention corresponds to hair treatment agents containing - relative to their weight -

a) 0.0001 to 20% by weight of methionine;

b) 0 to 5% by weight of maleic acid,

By structural reinforcement within the meaning of the invention is meant a reduction in damage to the keratin fibers due to the most diverse influences. In this regard, restoring natural resistance plays an essential role, for example. The restructured fibers are characterized, for example, by more shine, a more pleasant feeling to the touch and an increased ease of disentangling. In addition, they have better resistance and elasticity. From a physical point of view, successful structural reinforcement or successful restructuring can be demonstrated by increasing the melting point over that of damaged fibers (DSC measures).

As regards the preferred embodiments of the method according to the invention and of the use according to the invention, what has been explained on the agents according to the invention applies mutatis mutandis.
