Description

  The present invention relates to a hair styling agent that is used to give gloss (gloss) to the hair and to prepare a desired hairstyle, and in particular, provides a natural finish feeling with little stickiness, The present invention relates to a hair styling material having excellent hair styling properties (resetting properties).

  Various hair styling materials have been used so far to give the hair a gloss (gloss) and to make a desired hairstyle. Pomade has long been known as one of these hair-styling products. Pomade is roughly divided into those using vegetable oil components and those using mineral oil components, and the hair styling power (setting power) of the hair differs depending on the difference of these components, and the difference in the characteristics of the hair It is used properly. For example, those mainly using vegetable oil and fat components have excellent adhesiveness and progress, and are mainly used for thick and hard hair. In addition, those mainly using mineral oil and fat components are mainly used for thin and soft hair because the tackiness is weakened.

  Castor oil, mole, hardened oil, olive oil, camellia oil, etc. are used as the above-mentioned vegetable fats and oils, and petroleum jelly, liquid paraffin, paraffin, microcrystalline wax, hardened oil, etc. are used as mineral fats and oils. (For example, Non-Patent Document 1).

  The oil and fat component as described above is a component that is useful not only for improving the setting power of the hair but also for imparting a glossy feeling to the hair. When the hair is applied, stickiness occurs, and the shampooability after use may be remarkably deteriorated. In order to solve such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes to contain a surfactant.

  By the way, as an advantage of using the oil and fat component as described above, it is easy to re-hair even if the hairstyle is disturbed (resetability). However, when a large amount of oil and fat components are blended in order to improve the resetting property, the stickiness becomes remarkable when the hair is applied.

  Recently, there has been a demand for a natural finish feeling that suppresses the sticky feeling, and the oil and fat components tend to be reduced as much as possible. Such a reduction in the fat and oil components reduces the setting power and resetting ability of the hair. A hair styling compounded with a polymer resin has also been proposed in order to suppress a reduction in hair setting force and resetting property due to a decrease in oil and fat components (Patent Document 1).

  By blending the polymer resin, the setting power of the hair is improved. However, when the blending amount is increased, there is a problem that the hair feels dry and has a burr feeling. Moreover, although the setting power of hair becomes very high by mix | blending polymer resin, the resetting property when a hairstyle is disturb | confused will fall on the contrary.

  Therefore, it is generally practiced to increase the setting power and resetability by using the oil and fat component and the polymer resin as described above. Increasing the feeling increases the stickiness, and increasing the amount of the polymer resin to increase the setting force tends to increase the burr feeling. For these reasons, it has been difficult to appropriately adjust the setting power, the resetting property and the burr feeling only by using the oil and fat component and the polymer resin in combination.

  In addition to a natural finish and resetting ability, there has also been a demand for a glossy feeling (luster) for making hair look beautiful. In particular, recently, it is common to color and perm the hair, and these treatments are often damaged to reduce the gloss, and it is desired to impart a higher gloss. The fact is.

As a method for imparting such a glossy feeling to hair, for example, Patent Documents 2 to 4 also propose blending various silicones as an oily component in a hair dressing. When a hair styling compounded with such silicones is used, the hair surface is glossy and the hair surface slipperiness is also increased. However, even if a good gloss feeling is imparted, the slipperiness becomes high at the same time. Therefore, with a large amount of blending (3% by mass or more) that can impart a good gloss feeling, the setability is deteriorated. There is a problem.
"Recent Cosmetic Science" Revision Supplement II Yakuho Nippo Inc. Issued July 10, 1992, p. 113 JP, 2003-12477, A Claims etc. JP, 2005-330215, A Claims etc. JP, 2005-255533, A Claims etc. JP, 2005-24793, A Claims etc.

  The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and its purpose is not to give a sticky feeling, to maintain a constant setting force, to have a good resetting property, and to give a good gloss feeling. It is to provide a hairdressing material that can be used.

  The hair styling composition of the present invention that has achieved the above-described object includes at least (a) a water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene, (b) alkanediols, and (c) solid at room temperature. It has a gist in that it is a blend of these waxes.

  In the hairdressing composition of the present invention, (a) water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene: 20.0 to 50.0% by mass, (b) alkanediols: 0 in proportion to the total hairdressing composition. 0.1 to 10.0% by mass, and (c) waxes solid at room temperature: 0.1 to 15.0% by mass are preferably blended.

  As the “water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene” used in the present invention, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is most preferable. The “alkanediols” are preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol and 1,2-octanediol. Furthermore, as the “solid waxes at normal temperature”, candelilla wax is most preferable.

  In the present invention, at least (a) a water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene, (b) alkanediols, and (c) waxes that are solid at normal temperature give a sticky feeling. Thus, a hair styling material that can maintain a certain setting force, has good re-setting property, and can give a good gloss feeling can be realized.

  As mentioned above, it is known that if the oil and fat components are increased, a sticky feeling is generated. Therefore, if the oil and fat components are reduced as much as possible and a polymer resin is blended, the hair feels dry and burrs. Become. For these reasons, the present inventor has examined a substance that can improve the hair setting force from various angles without using a polymer resin that is prone to a feeling of softness or burr. As a result, if a water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene and a solid wax at room temperature (25 ° C.) are used in combination, good setting properties can be obtained even when the oil and fat components are reduced as much as possible. I found out that it could be realized. In particular, a wax that is solid at room temperature exhibits an effect of improving the setting power and imparting an appropriate gloss to the hair.

  On the other hand, as a result of various investigations on substances that improve glossiness while maintaining good setting power and resetting ability, it has been found that alkanediols can exert such effects. And it discovered that the hair dressing which can achieve the said objective was realizable by mix | blending combining these substances appropriately, and completed this invention.

  The hair styling composition of the present invention comprises (a) a water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene, (b) alkanediols, and (c) waxes that are solid at room temperature. Among these, a water-soluble nonionic surfactant containing polyoxyethylene [hereinafter sometimes referred to as component (a)] is a substance necessary for maintaining an appropriate viscosity. In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the hair washability after using the hairdressing material of the present invention, it is a necessary requirement to contain polyoxyethylene in the component (a).

  Specific examples of the component (a) used in the present invention include polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, polyoxyethylene octyl phenyl ether, and polyoxyethylene. Nonylphenyl ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, polyoxyethylene sorbite tetraoleate , Polyethylene glycol monolaurate, polyethylene glycol monostearate, polyethylene glycol distearate, poly Chi glycol monooleate, polyoxyethylene alkyl amines, polyoxyethylene hardened castor oil, and the like. Of these, at least polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil is preferably used, and the effect of component (a) is effectively achieved by using this polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil alone or in combination with other components (a).

  The component (a) is preferably blended at a ratio of about 20.0 to 50.0% by mass with respect to the total hair styling. If the blending amount is less than 20.0% by mass, sufficient setting force cannot be obtained. If the blending amount exceeds 50.0% by mass, not only does the composition of the hairdressing agent become hard and it becomes difficult to stretch when stretched with the palm of the hand, Stickiness occurs. The more preferable lower limit of the component (a) is about 30.0% by mass.

  The alkanediols used in the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the component (b)) effectively act to improve the glossiness while maintaining good setting power and resetting property. Although alkanediols are known to be used as antibacterial agents (for example, JP-A-10-53510, JP-A-2001-48702, JP-A-2003-89623, etc.), the present inventors have studied. However, it has been found that the inclusion of a predetermined amount of such alkanediols is effective in improving glossiness while maintaining good setting power and resetting property.

  Specific examples of the component (b) used in the present invention include ethanediol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1, 2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, isopentanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-pentanediol, 1,4-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,3-hexanediol, 1,4-hexanediol, 1,5-hexanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, 1,7-heptanediol, 1 , 2-octanediol, 1,8-octanediol, 1,2-nonanediol, 1,9-nonanediol, 1,2-decanediol 1,10-decanediol, 1,2-undecanediol, 1,11-undecanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol, 1,12-dodecanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 2,2, Examples include 4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol. Among these, it is preferable to blend at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and 1,2-octanediol.

  In order to exert the effect of the component (b), it is preferable to blend about 0.1 to 10.0% by mass with respect to the entire hairdressing material. When the amount is less than 0.1% by mass, sufficient gloss cannot be obtained, and when it exceeds 10.0% by mass, the setting force is reduced. The more preferable lower limit of the component (b) is about 0.3% by mass, and the more preferable upper limit is about 4.0% by mass (more preferably 2.0% by mass).

  The reason why the above effects can be obtained by blending alkanediols is not clarified, but could be considered as follows. Alkanediols have a lipophilic group and a hydrophilic group in a balanced structure. In other words, it has the property of improving the gloss equivalent to that of the oil component and has a hydrophilic hydroxyl group, so it is considered that the hair is not sticky and can be given gloss without lowering the setting power. This tendency becomes more prominent as the alkane structure is longer.

  The waxes that are solid at normal temperature used in the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the component (c)) are important substances for imparting gloss and setting power to the hair. This component (c) needs to be solid at room temperature (25 ° C.) from the viewpoint of providing a sufficient setting force.

  Specific examples of the component (c) used in the present invention include beeswax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, rice bran wax, lanolin, whale wax, shellac, cotton wax, molasses, hydrogenated jojoba oil and other waxes: ceresin, Examples include hydrocarbon oils such as paraffin wax, polyethylene, microcrystalline wax, and petroleum jelly. Of these, the most preferred is candelilla wax.

  In order to exert the effect of the component (c), it is preferable to blend approximately 0.1 to 15.0% by mass with respect to the total hair styling. When the blending amount is less than 0.1% by mass, the setting power and glossiness are poor. When the blending amount exceeds 15.0% by mass, it becomes difficult to stretch with a palm and stickiness occurs. The more preferable lower limit of the component (c) is 0.3% by mass, and the preferable upper limit is 10.0% by mass (more preferably 7.0% by mass).

  The hairdressing composition of the present invention is a mixture of at least the above components (a) to (c), and the remainder is basically a solvent such as water (purified water) or ethanol (30 in proportion to the total hairdressing composition).

However, the following examples are not intended to limit the present invention, and all modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the above and following descriptions. To be included in the scope.

[Example 1]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending raw materials at the blending ratios shown in Table 1 below (Prescription Examples 1 to 11). Using these hair styling agents, the following criteria were set by 10 professional panelists regarding “easiness of stretching with the palm”, “stickiness of hand”, “gloss”, “setting power” and “resetability”. Evaluation was performed, and the quality was determined by the ratio of the evaluation. The results are also shown in Table 1 below.

[Ease of stretching in the palm of the hand, stickiness of the hand]
The hair styling material 0.3g of each prescription example was put on the palm, and both hands were put together to knead the hair styling material sufficiently. The ease of elongation was evaluated according to the following criteria. At the same time, the stickiness of the hands was also evaluated according to the following criteria.
(Evaluation criteria for ease of elongation in the palm of your hand)
◎: Very easy to stretch ○: Easily stretched △: Difficult to stretch ×: Very difficult to stretch (Evaluation criteria for stickiness of hands)
◎: No stickiness ○: Almost no stickiness △: Slightly sticky ×: Very sticky

[Glossy (Glossy)]
After applying 1.0 g of the hair styling agent of each formulation example to a 30-g human hair bundle and drying it with a dryer, the glossiness was sensorily evaluated according to the following criteria.
(Evaluation criteria for glossiness)
◎: Very glossy ○: Shiny △: Shiny weak ×: No gloss

[Set power]
Applying 1.0g of the hair styling agent of each prescription example to a 30g human hair bundle, putting the finger between the hair bundles and passing it through the hair tip, the adhesive strength between the hairs as a set force, based on the following criteria evaluated.
(Evaluation criteria for set power)
◎: Very good set power ○: High set power △: Low set power ×: No set power

[Resetability]
After applying 1.0 g of the hair styling agent of each prescription example to a 30 g human hair bundle, putting a finger between the hair bundles and passing it through the hair tips, the human hair bundle is shaken 3 times and left for 10 minutes, and then again. A finger was inserted between the hair bundles and passed through the ends of the hair, and the adhesive strength between the hairs was evaluated according to the following criteria as a resetting property.
(Evaluation criteria for resetability)
◎: Very good ○: Good △: Normal ×: Very bad

  The results in Table 1 indicate that the amount of candelilla wax is changed, and changes in "easiness of stretching with palms", "stickiness of hands", "glossiness", "setting power" and "resetability" However, it can be seen that particularly 0.1 to 7% by mass (Prescription Examples 4 to 8) exhibits good characteristics. Moreover, the best results were obtained with 3% by mass of candelilla wax.

[Example 2]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending raw materials at the blending ratio shown in Table 2 below (Prescription Examples 7, 12 to 15: Prescription Example 7 is the same as Prescription Example 7 in Table 1). Using these hair styling agents, 10 professional panelists evaluated the “easiness of stretching with palms”, “stickiness of hands”, “glossiness”, “setting power” and “resetability” in Example 1. Evaluation was performed in the same manner as above, and the quality was judged. The results are also shown in Table 2 below.

  The results in Table 2 are the results of evaluating the performance by changing the types of waxes. As is clear from this result, the best result was obtained when candelilla wax was used as the type of wax, but a temporary result was obtained even when another was used. I understand that.

[Example 3]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending the raw materials at the blending ratio shown in Table 3 below (Prescription Examples 16 to 25). Using these hair styling agents, 10 professional panelists evaluated the “easiness of stretching with palms”, “stickiness of hands”, “glossiness”, “setting power” and “resetability” in Example 1. Evaluation was performed in the same manner as above, and the quality was judged. The results are also shown in Table 3 below.

  The results in Table 3 were obtained by investigating the influence on the “setting power”, “resetting property” and “shininess” by changing the type of alkanediols. Good results were obtained in any of the characteristics obtained by blending one or more selected from the group consisting of pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and 1,2-octanediol (Prescription Examples 20 to 25). I understand that.

[Example 4]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending raw materials at the blending ratio shown in Table 4 below (Prescription Examples 16, 26 to 31: Prescription Examples 16 and 25 are the same as Prescription Examples 16 and 25 in Table 3, and Prescription Example 7 is Same as Formulation Example 7 in Tables 1 and 2.) Using these hair styling agents, 10 professional panelists evaluated the “easiness of stretching with palms”, “stickiness of hands”, “glossiness”, “setting power” and “resetability” in Example 1. Evaluation was performed in the same manner as above, and the quality was judged. The results are also shown in Table 4 below.

  The results in Table 4 are the results of investigating the influence of setting power and glossiness by changing the blending amount of alkanediols, and the blending amount of alkanediols is particularly blended by about 0.1 to 2.0% by mass. In the case of (Prescription Examples 7, 25, 27, 28), it can be seen that a good gloss feeling is obtained while maintaining the setting property and the resetting property.

[Example 5]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending the raw materials at the blending ratios shown in Table 5 below (Prescription Examples 32-37). Using these hair styling agents, 10 professional panelists evaluated the “easiness of stretching with palms”, “stickiness of hands”, “glossiness”, “setting power” and “resetability” in Example 1. Evaluation was performed in the same manner as above, and the quality was judged. The results are also shown in Table 5 below.

  The results in Table 5 were obtained by investigating changes in setting force, easiness of elongation, and stickiness feeling by changing the amount of the water-soluble nonionic surfactant, and contained about 20.0 to 50.0% by mass. It can be seen that all the samples (prescription examples 33 to 36) show good results.

[Example 6]
Various hair styling agents were prepared by blending the raw materials at the blending ratios shown in Table 6 below (Prescription Examples 38 and 39). Using these hair styling agents, 10 professional panelists evaluated the “easiness of stretching with palms”, “stickiness of hands”, “glossiness”, “setting power” and “resetability” in Example 1. Evaluation was performed in the same manner as above, and the quality was judged. The results are also shown in Table 6 below.

  The results in Table 6 show the case where the dosage form is changed, but it can be seen that good effects are obtained in any dosage form. In addition, the thing of the prescription example 38 can be used as a foam by filling a container using a propellant such as LPG, and the same effect can be obtained even when used in such a form. It could be confirmed. On the other hand, those in Formulation Example 39 can be used as a mist, and can be used as a spray by filling a container using a propellant such as LPG. Even if it exists, it has confirmed that the same effect was acquired.
