Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to hair styling compositions that provide improved hair volume and hair retention performance. In particular, the present invention relates to hair styling compositions that leave a polyalkylene glycol-containing residue on dry hair, providing a DRY HAIR INDEX of at least 242.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Hair styling compositions are well known and are commercially available in a variety of forms, including mousses, gels, lotions, pumps, or hairsprays. Many of these products contain a variety of hair styling agents and provide temporary hair styling benefits such as hair body, retention, sheen, improved hair feel, and good style maintenance. Within this product family, hair sprays have become particularly popular among consumers as an effective means of styling or "setting" the hair. The hairspray compositions typically include a rubber or resin styling agent to provide good style maintenance and hair feel benefits. However,
Most hair sprays are applied after the hair has been trimmed to temporarily fix the desired hairstyle.
One method of providing temporary hair styling benefits from a styling product while styling the hair involves the use of a hair mousse. Many hair mousse products have been formulated such that they can be applied to wet or damp hair before styling or "setting" the hair. Typically, the hair mousse composition provides the hair with adhesive properties while the hair is wet or damp.
It is an aqueous formulation containing a water-soluble styling agent. However, these styling agents can form a hard and fragile film on the hair as the styling process nears completion, which can be unacceptable hairstyles or water and / or supplemental styling products without adding to the hair. It can result in a hairstyle that does not allow hair styling. Furthermore, the use of an aqueous hair mousse composition containing a water-soluble styling agent can leave an excessively tacky and firm feel on the hair. Without leaving the feel of the hair being too hard and sticky,
One attempt to produce an aqueous hair mousse composition that is particularly effective in providing good hair styling performance includes water-soluble styling polymers, silicone emulsions, liquid carriers comprising a combination of water and lower alcohols, silicone emulsions. An aqueous hair mousse formulation containing a silicone linear polyoxyalkylene block copolymer surfactant that maintains the stability of the composition. While these aqueous hair mousse compositions are effective in providing good hair styling performance and improved hair feel, typically they are also applied to wet or damp hair, once Once it has dried, it often leads additionally to the application of the styling product in order to finally achieve the desired hairstyle foam.

[0003] Other attempts at producing aqueous aerosol hair mousse compositions that provide good hair styling performance and improved hair feel have involved the use of a combination of panthenol and certain low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols. included. The low molecular weight polyalkylene glycols, ie, polyethylene or polypropylene glycols having from 3 to about 12 ethylene or propylene glycol units, help to effectively and efficiently carry panthenol to the hair. However, these hair mousse compositions are also typically applied to wet or wet hair to achieve the desired hair conditioning benefits, and are generally used to maintain or change the original hairstyle. Is reuse of the composition,
Requires other styling products. Accordingly, there remains a need for a hair styling composition that can be applied or sprayed onto the hair during the styling process to provide the desired hairstyle and maintenance. A method of making a new hair styling composition that can be applied to wet and / or dry hair during the styling process and provides improved styling performance is disclosed in JP 8-346.
608 (published on June 23, 1998). The hair styling compositions disclosed in this publication include a polyalkylene glyceryl ether styling agent to maintain hair styling performance and provide improved aesthetics, such as imparting a moisturizing feel and gloss to the hair. These polyalkylene glyceryl ether styling agents typically do not readily penetrate the hair,
It may remain on the hair fibers to provide improved hair styling benefits. However, polyalkylene glyceryl ethers, especially containing the compositions disclosed in this particular publication, do not retain hair at all or at least, which can result in weak style achievement and weak style retention performance.

Another new method of producing a hair styling composition that can be applied during the styling process and providing improved styling performance is disclosed in WO 98/38969.
(Published on September 11, 1998). The composition disclosed in this publication uses a specific styling agent that provides hair styling performance to dry hair and reshapes dry hair without the need for reuse of the composition and the use of other styling products. I will provide a. The styling agents described in this reference include anionic, cationic, zwitterionic, nonionic styling polymers, preferably sulfonated anionic styling polymers having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 5,000,000. However, these styling agents have a cohesive force that provides exceptionally tightly held hair fibers, which give dry hair a coarse feel, combing, styling,
Makes reshaping difficult. Other hair styling compositions,
In particular, the aerosol hair styling compositions provide improved dry hair styling and re-styling performance over an extended period of days without the reuse of the composition and / or the need for any other styling aids. It has been found that it can be formulated to provide. W
Unlike the compositions described in O98 / 38969, these aerosol hair styling compositions are:
It includes a low molecular weight polyalkylene glycol styling agent that is liquid or semi-solid under ambient conditions, and may remain as a liquid and semi-solid after the composition has been applied and dried on the hair. The ability of the selected polyalkylene glycol styling agent to remain as a liquid, or semi-solid, provides improved dry hair aesthetics, such as smooth and easily stylied hair, in addition to improved hair reshaping performance.

[0005] Currently, hair styling compositions, especially aqueous hair styling compositions that selectively include a low molecular weight polyalkylene glycol styling agent, have improved dry hair feel and styling performance as well as improved hair volume. And has been found to provide hair retention performance. These compositions provide certain properties defined by the dry hair index, and are particularly beneficial for providing excellent hair volume and hair retention performance. The hair styling composition of the present invention, when evaluated on dry hair, has (20 × hair volume index)

(C) Hair Volume Index The hair volume value of the dry hair switch used for the determination of the hair volume index is based on the hair volume property using 0 to 10 levels (0 is "most volume" and 10
Is determined by a panelist visually assessing a dry hair switch treated with the composition of the present invention for "the least volume"). Dry hair switches are evaluated by visually comparing the volume properties of each of the three control switches, which are given a hair volume value of 0, 5, or 10, with each corresponding switch. The untreated dry hair control switch is identified as a visual control for each volume property given a value of zero.
Dry hair control switches treated with Control Product A are identified as visual controls for each volume property given a value of 5. The dry hair control switch treated with control product B is identified as a visual control for each volume property given a value of 10.

The dry hair switch used in the process of determining the hair volume index is a 60 g / 25.4 cm Asian long hair ponytail hair switch supplied by Advanced Testing Laboratories located in Cincinnati, Ohio. During preparation for control and test product applications, the hair switch is hung on a bar in a temperature / humidity controlled room with 24 ° C./50% RH. For hair styling compositions in mousse form, 6 g of test product is applied to each switch. A preferred hair mousse embodiment of the present invention has a solids content of 23% and the hair mousse formulation in order to provide complete and uniform product diffusion to the switch when determining the hair volume value Is 6g
Has proven to be sufficient.

To ensure the same test conditions, etc., the amount of gram of hair styling composition in the form of a non-mousse product applied to each switch is determined using the following process. (1) Determination of the percent solids of the test product by using methods well known in the art, such as percent solids determination, (2) 23% determined solids value
And then multiply the result by 6 g (final value = gram amount of product applied to hair switch), and (3) subtract the final gram of (2) above from 6 grams (this value is 6
g of tap water applied to the switch to provide g non-mousse product application). The gram amount of tap water is applied to the hair switch just before application of the non-mousse test product. The gram amount of tap water may be applied to each switch using any suitable application device, typically the water is supplied by a non-aerosol hair spray pump such as that available from Seaquistperfect Dispensing in Cary, Illinois. Applied. The following examples are provided to illustrate the appropriate gram quantities of non-mousse test products applicable to tap water and hair switches. For example, if the non-mousse test product is determined to be 50% solids, 23% is divided by 50%, resulting in 0.46%
Value. Then, 6 grams is multiplied by 0.46 to a value of 2.76 grams, which is the amount of non-mousse test product that can be applied to the hair switch. Finally, 2.76 grams is subtracted from 6 grams to a value of 3.24 grams, which is the amount of water that can be applied to the hair switch.

If applicable, a test or control product is applied in the appropriate amount after the appropriate amount of tap water has been applied to the hair switch. Each hair switch is squeezed or squeezed so that the test or control product is evenly distributed throughout the switch. Each hair switch is then combed once, rotated and combed once with the hairdresser's comb or the rough tooth end of a hair pick. The hair switch then switches each switch to 2
Dry gently in a 4 ° C / 50% RH controlled room for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the hair switch, still dried in a 24 ° C./50% RH conditioned room, is inverted and shaken vigorously for 10 seconds. The dry hair switch is then combed once with a hairdresser's comb or hair pick on both sides, with the right side up. Next, the hair switch is placed between the thumb and the index finger so as to form a circle around the top of the switch with the thumb and the index finger. The thumb and forefinger are then
A constant pressure along the length of each switch results in a round, non-flat, disturbed dry hair switch. Next, for each drying switch, set the hair switch to 24 ° C / 50% R.
While in the H control room, a visual assessment of the volume properties is made within 4 hours.

Each panelist has 3 items to use as visual references.
Seven test product treated dry hair switches are visually evaluated as compared to two control dry hair switches. Two of the seven test product treated dry hair switches are control switches included in the evaluation as test product treated hair switches. The three reference control hair switches are hung on the test product treated hair switch so that panelists can easily see the reference point. To ensure the same evaluation process, etc., the control dry switch included as a test product treated switch should be evaluated to give a value corresponding to the volume of the reference control switch with the same volume characteristics. is there. For example, if a test product treated dry hair switch is being treated with control product A (given a volume value of 5), then the switch will:
The volume properties should be evaluated to give a value between 4 and 6. The criterion that the hair volume value of the test product treatment switch is between 4 and 6 ensures that the hair volume of this switch and the other switches evaluated with this switch are evaluated under the intended conditions. A minimum of eight panelists evaluate the test product treated dry hair switch. The panelist stands about six feet away from the bar where the hair switch is hung,
It is instructed to avoid any bias associated with both shoulder slopes and / or flip ends of the hair switch and to evaluate only the middle 50% portion of the hair switch. The panelist records the hair volume value on a test ballot.
Each panelist evaluates a total of seven dry hair switches, each switch for each test product, including a control switch that is evaluated as a test product treated dry switch. Thus, a total of five different compositions of the present invention can be evaluated in a given evaluation process, resulting in at least eight hair volume values for each treated dry hair switch. The average hair volume of the dry hair switches treated with the test product is determined by averaging the scores of all panelists for each test product treated dry hair switch. The hair volume index is the average hair volume of each test product treated dry hair switch, visually indexed against the reference control switch, using the volume values of 0, 5, and 10 given for the control. Is defined as Hair factor or hair volume index average is Multifactor ANOV
Determined using the statistical methods described in Test A.

(D) Hair Retention Index The hair retention value of the treated dry hair switch used in determining the hair retention index is determined by treating the hair switch with the composition of the present invention, and using the A-structure apparatus. Set the hairstyle and shake the hair switch to disturb the A-structure hairstyle, and use the Mitutoyo CD-8C digital caliper machine commercially available from Mitutoyo LTD located in Japan to maintain A Determined by measuring the structural hairstyle. The two control dry hair switches are:
Analyzed with the test product treated dry hair switch. The dry hair switch treated with control product A was identified as a control for the dry hair switch given a hair retention value of 100, and the dry hair switch treated with control product B gave a hair retention value of 0. Is identified as a dry hair switch control.

As used herein, the term "A-structure" refers to a 45 inch, 76.2 cm long and 25.4 cm high.
And is made of non-porous material such as plexiglass. Other "A-structure" hair styling devices may be used as long as they are made of non-porous materials. The dry hair switch used in the process for the determination of hair retention index is 22.9 cm long and flat in Cincinati, Ohio
New European hair switch 10g supplied by Advabced Testing Laboratories. Each hair switch is approximately 4.8 cm wide and 0.013 cm thick.

In preparation for control and test product applications, the hair switch has a temperature / temperature of 24 ° C./50% RH.

Apply g test product. A preferred hair mousse embodiment of the present invention has a solids content of 23% and the hair mousse formulation in order to provide a complete and uniform product diffusion to the switch when determining the hair retention value It has been found that 1.13 g is sufficient. To ensure the same test conditions, etc., the amount of gram of hair styling composition in the form of a non-mousse product applied to each switch is determined using the following process. (1) Determination of the percent solids of the test product by using methods known in the art such as percent solids determination, (2) dividing the determined percent solids by 23%, and then dividing the result by 1.13 g (Final value = gram amount of product applied to hair switch), and (3) subtract the final gram value of (2) above from 1.13 grams (this value is 1.13 grams)
g of tap water applied to the hair switch to provide a g non-mousse product application). Just before applying the non-mousse test product, the gram quantity of tap water is applied to the hair switch. The grams of tap water are applied using the process described above.

The test and control products were 24 ° C./50% PH
Applied to hair switches in a temperature / humidity control room. If applicable, apply the appropriate amount of tap water to each hair switch before applying the test and control products in the appropriate amount. The test or control product divides the gram quantity of the product in half and is applied to each hair switch along both sides of the workable area of the switch. As used herein, the term "workable" refers to the total hair between the bottom edge of the plexiglass material holding the hair and 3.8 cm above the bottom of the hair switch. The hair switch is held between two pieces of Plexiglas by using an adhesive material such as epoxy glue. Suitable plexiglass materials include those 2.6 cm long, 7.75 cm wide and 0.15 cm thick.

The halved product is hit with a constant pressure on the workable area on both sides of each hair switch and / or
Or applied by stroking. Each hair switch is then shortened or squeezed for 10 seconds so that the test or control product is evenly distributed throughout the switch. Each hair switch is then placed between the index finger and the middle finger, and is lightly stroked once by forcing the index finger and the middle finger once along the workable area of the switch with constant pressure. Each hair switch is then bisected and half of the switch is placed on the left side of the A-structure and the other half is hung on the aforementioned A-structure so that it is located on the right side. The hair switch is then dried for 3 hours in a 24 ° C./50% RH conditioned room while in the A configuration as described above. Once drying is complete, each hair switch is prepared for hair retention measurements. In preparation for the hair retention measurement, each hair switch is placed on a wrist motion agitator such as a Burrell model 75 (commercially available from VWR Scientific) to disturb the A-structure hairstyle. The hair switch is placed on a stirrer and the top of the switch is placed on a 3-finger clamp perpendicular to the arm of the stirrer, so that switch droop can be achieved vertically.
The hair switch is agitated for 15 minutes.

After agitation, the hair switch is applied vertically using a "C" clamp. While still in the A makeup hairstyle, half of each switch is stroked simultaneously by running at constant pressure from the bottom edge of the clamp holding the switch to the end of the switch holding each half by hand. . Then each switch half is slowly released and allowed to move freely. The hairstyle of each switch made by the A configuration was then measured for hair retention values using the Mitutoyo CD-8C digital caliper machine described above. The hair retention measurement is measured on the area between the half inner edges of each switch by measuring the horizontal distance located 3.8 cm from the bottom of each inner edge. Mitu horizontal distance measurement
Take the nearest millimeter using a toyo CD-8C digital caliper machine. One set of five hair switches is tested for each test or control product. The eight test products described herein and the two control products, a total of ten different compositions, can be evaluated in a given evaluation process. Therefore, 50 hair switches are 1
The evaluation process can be evaluated. The average hair retention value is determined by averaging the measured hair retention points from each dry hair switch for each set. The average hair retention value is used to calculate the hair retention index for a given test product using the following formula:

Hair retention index = (average value of test product−average value of control product B) × 100 / (average value of control product A−average value of control product B)

(Nonionic Cellulose Polymers) Preferred optional gelling agents suitable for use in the hair styling compositions of the present invention include water-soluble, hydrophobically modified nonionic cellulose polymers. The term "water-soluble hydrophobically modified nonionic cellulose polymer" is a water-soluble, nonionic polymer that has been modified to include substituted hydrophobic groups that render the polymer less soluble in water. Thus, the non-ionic cellulose polymer comprises a water-soluble cellulose chain (or hydrophilic cellulose chain) forming a main chain, and the main chain contains a substituted hydrophobic group. Suitable substituted hydrophobic groups include _C8-22 alkyl groups, _allylalkyl groups, alkylaryl groups and mixtures thereof. The degree of substituents on the backbone should be from about 0.10% to about 1.0%, especially depending on the polymer backbone. The nonionic cellulose polymer generally contains a ratio of hydrophilic substituents: hydrophobic substituents of from about 10: 1 to about 1000: 1.

[0052] Non-limiting examples of preferred hydrophobically modified nonionic cellulose polymers include hydrophobic nonionic cellulose polymers comprising a cellulose ether substrate and a long chain alkyl modifier. As used herein, the term "long chain alkyl modifier" refers to a modifying compound that can include an alkyl group or other functional group such as an alpha hydroxyalkyl group, a urethane group, or an acyl group. These polymers and methods of making the polymers are also described on Oct. 14, 1980.
US Patent No. 4,228,27 issued to Landoll
No. 7 and incorporated herein by reference. Suitable cellulose ether supports include known or otherwise effective water-soluble nonionic cellulose ethers. Of a suitable water-soluble nonionic cellulose ether,
Non-limiting examples include hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylhydroxyethylcellulose and methylhydroxyethylcellulose. The amount of non-ionic substituent (eg, methyl, hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl substituent) is not critical provided that the total amount is sufficient to ensure that the ether is water-soluble.

A preferred cellulose ether support is hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) having a number average molecular weight of about 50,000 to about 700,000. It has been found that hydroxyethylcellulose is the most hydrophilic of the suitable cellulose ether supports and therefore more modifications can be made than other suitable water-soluble cellulose ether supports before water insolubility is achieved. . Thus, control of the modification step and control of the properties of the modified support can be more reliably achieved with a hydroxyethylcellulose support. The hydrophilicity range of the most commonly used nonionic cellulose ethers is hydroxyethyl-hydroxypropyl-hydroxypropylmethyl-methyl, the most hydrophilic is hydroxyethyl, and the least hydrophilic is methyl. It is. The long chain alkyl modifier can be attached to the cellulose ether support via an ether, ester or urethane linkage. Ether bonds are preferred. The size and effect of the hydrocarbon chain of the appropriate modifier effectively masks any significant effects derived from functional groups other than the alkylhalogen compound that bind to the modifier and adhere to the support. In other words, if the long-chain alkyl modifier is an epoxide containing an alpha hydroxyalkyl group, an isocyanate containing a urethane group or an acyl chloride containing an acyl group, the effect of these functional groups is not significant, The hydrophobically modified nonionic cellulose polymer is not significantly different from a polymer modified with an alkyl halide modifier.

Specific examples of preferred hydrophobically modified nonionic cellulose polymers include Natrosol Plus Grade 330 and N
atrosol Plus CS Grade D-67 (both Wilmington, Dela
