Description

  The present invention relates to a hair styling wax or hair set gel composition. Specifically, the present invention contains a derivative of polyaspartic acid as a basic set agent polymer, or a hair styling wax having a higher holdability by adding an associative thickener or a hard type hair set having a high viscosity. It relates to a gel composition.

  Conventional hair styling wax (hereinafter also referred to as “hair wax”) contains a large amount of oils (90%) such as wax components, non-volatile oils and emulsifiers in order to improve the holdability under high humidity and to make the hair gloss. On the other hand, there is a problem that the soft touch and volume of the hairstyle are impaired because the moisture (less than 10%) involved in the moisture retention of the hair is small. Further, as a result, stickiness due to excessive oil was caused and the feeling of use was poor. It is necessary to add a large amount of a set polymer (also called a hair setting polymer) and an oil component that is a hydrophobic component in order to make the hair set gel (also referred to as a hair gel) as an aqueous solution a hard type and for the effect of hair gloss. There is. In addition to the poor feeling when used for hair styling, these products have a limit in the holdability for keeping the hairstyle for a long time under high humidity because the set agent polymer is water-soluble. In addition, the blending of a large amount of oil and a setting agent polymer component often causes itching and dandruff on the scalp, and there is a concern that it may cause hair loss.

  Aspartic acid and its derivatives are known to be effective for polishing, but as a set agent polymer, it is known that the single agent is equivalent to or less than that of conventional products in terms of holdability. Aspartic acid and its derivatives are hardly effective for thickening in an aqueous solution. A hair wax or gel containing a polyaspartic acid derivative as a basic set polymer has been devised in order to produce vibrant hair while suppressing stickiness. Polyaspartic acid derivatives are produced by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., the co-applicant of the present application, one of which is marketed under the trade name Kirty-AT. The hair wax was designed to have a good feeling of use while keeping the water moisturized and sticky, but the problem was to improve the long-term stable holdability under high humidity, including an effective amount of water to moisturize the hair. . On the other hand, polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymers have been used to improve the retention of hairstyles as a thickener and hair setting polymer in hair gel products to enable hard type hair set products (eg, It is marketed under the trade name of Stylize W by the joint applicant, IS Japan Co., Ltd.). However, in order to realize a high viscosity, which is a hard type by itself, a large amount of polymer needs to be added, resulting in a poor feeling of use. Further, hair gel products are also required to have a gloss on the hair, but the above-mentioned polymer alone has a limit on the glossing effect.

  In addition to the setting function, conventional hair setting products such as hair wax and hair gel do not have functions such as a remarkable conditioning effect and a hair protection effect from thermal shock.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of conventional hair waxes or hair gels. Specifically, the hair of vibrant hair is solved while eliminating stickiness and suppressing irritation to the skin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair wax or hair gel composition that achieves gloss and moisture retention. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hair wax or hair gel composition that realizes a comfortable use feeling and long-term storage stability of a style, that is, holdability even under high humidity. Furthermore, the present invention provides a hair wax or hair gel composition that is gentle to the scalp and has additional functions other than set performance (conditioning effect, split end repair, protection of hair from thermal shock) without adding extra components. The issue is to provide. Further, by using a biodegradable material, an environment-friendly hair wax and hair gel composition are provided.

The present inventors have found that the above problem can be solved by including a polymer containing a specific amount of a specific polyaspartic acid derivative repeating unit, and have completed the present invention. That is, the present invention
[I] Formula (1) or (2):

(In Formula (1) and Formula (2), R ¹ represents a hydrogen atom or a lower hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R ² and R ⁵ each independently represents 1 to 24 carbon atoms. A saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group, R ³ and R ⁴ each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, and R ³ and R ⁴ are bonded to each other; A polymer having 1 mol% or more of at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of repeating units represented by the following formula: A hair styling wax or hair set gel composition is provided.

  Further, the present inventors have found that the hair styling wax or hair set gel composition of the above [I] further contains an associative thickener, so that it is excellent under high humidity in addition to more remarkable hair gloss. Hairstyle retention, higher moisture retention, conditioning effect and high viscosity thickening effect in aqueous solution.

[II] That is, the present invention provides a hair styling wax or hair set gel composition obtained by further adding an associative thickener to the composition of [I].
[III] As an associative thickener used in the hair styling wax or hair set gel composition of the present invention, the following formula (3):

(In formula (3), m, n and x each independently represent a numerical value of 1 or more and 20,000 or less)
The thing represented by these is preferable.

  The composition of the present invention contains an associative thickener, particularly a polyvinyl pyrrolidone copolymer of the above formula (3), so that it contains up to 50% of water in a hair wax product of W / O type emulsion. Can be made. In addition, a high viscosity of 10,000 cps or more can be realized by a synergistic effect in the aqueous solution composition of the present invention, so that a hard type hair gel product can be produced while keeping the total polymer amount lower than the total addition amount in the case of using each alone. be able to. The synergistic effect of thickening in aqueous solution is that the associative thickener activates hydrophobic interaction with a polymer having a polyaspartic acid derivative as a repeating unit to form a three-dimensional network structure. A gel with high viscosity can be realized. In particular, since the polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymer of the above formula (3) is also a polymer surfactant, the amount of addition can be minimized with a prescription using an emulsifier, which can reduce irritation to the scalp and the like. . Further, the cationic site can improve the ability to form a protective film on the hair surface of the composition of the present invention, and can also exert a conditioning effect. This protective film protects hair from thermal stimulation and is effective in removing hair and damaged cucumbers, but the addition of this polymeric surfactant increases the hydrophobicity of the surface of the protective film, so it can be used under high humidity conditions. It can be a hair wax or hair set gel composition with excellent holdability that realizes long-term hairstyle retention.

It has been found that the polyaspartic acid derivative of the present invention having excellent solubility is suitable for application to hair waxes and hair gels.

  The holdability of the hairstyle of the polyaspartic acid derivatives (samples A and B) of the present invention shown in Table 7 was evaluated. For reference, a comparison with PVP / VA copolymer was made.

The test hair bundle was immersed in the above sample solution, wound around a curler and dried overnight at room temperature with a hair dryer. The hair bundle was removed from the curler significantly deeply, and the curled test hair was placed in a high-temperature and high-humidity tank at a relative humidity of 90% and 27 ° C., and the percent elongation of curl with respect to time was measured.

<Measurement Example 5>
Sample solutions shown in Table 12 were prepared using a mixed solvent of water / ethanol (7/3).
