Description

  The present invention relates to a hair straightening agent for straightening curly hair and a first hair straightening agent for constituting the hair straightening agent.

  For treatments such as permanent wave and curly hair straightening, the first agent containing a reducing agent is used to reduce the cystine bond in the hair, and after making it a desired state, the state is fixed using a second agent containing an oxidizing agent. It is processing. In recent years, as described in Patent Document 1, a method for correcting curly hair using an iron has been developed and has been established as a beauty technique.

  In the case of straightening hair, it is necessary to treat the new part of the curly hair state in order to keep the hair in a straight state, so the curly hair is straightened at an average rate of once every 3 to 6 months. The process is usually repeated. However, the curly hair straightening treatment applies chemical treatment to the hair as described above, and the degree of damage to the hair increases as the number of treatments increases. Recently, chemical treatments such as bleaching and hair dyeing are often applied to the hair, and the hair is further damaged by these treatments.

  Recently, since there is a high need for keeping hair in a healthy state, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, agents for correcting curly hair having an effect of preventing hair damage have been developed.

JP 2004-2459 A JP 2006-16391 A JP 2006-298822 A

  As described above, for example, in order to keep the hair in a straight state, the hair that has been repeatedly subjected to the curly hair straightening treatment has been subjected to a number of curly hair straightening treatments as it approaches the hair tip, for example, the hair tip portion. The degree of damage is greatly different between the vicinity thereof and the new part and the vicinity thereof.

  Since the treatment effect of the curly hair straightening agent differs between parts with different damage levels, as described above, the hair has a high uniformity while maintaining a good feel of the hair, with the damage level being greatly different for each part. It has become difficult to achieve a straight state, and there is still room for improvement in this point even in the curly hair straightening agent having a hair damage effect as described above.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly uniform hair straightening treatment even for hair having a different degree of damage for each portion, and to treat the treated hair. An object of the present invention is to provide a first hair straightening agent for constituting a hair straightening agent capable of providing a soft feel, and a hair straightening agent composed of the first agent.

  The first agent for straightening hair of the present invention that has achieved the above object is a mixture of a reducing agent and an alkaline agent, and further comprises (A) a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or a salt thereof, (B) a phosphate ester other than a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or a salt thereof, (C) an ester comprising a dibasic acid and a monohydric alcohol, and (D) a cationic surfactant or a cationic polymer. It is what was mix | blended.

  The hair straightening agent of the present invention is composed of the first agent for straightening hair of the present invention and the second agent for straightening hair containing at least an oxidizing agent.

  As described above, hair damaged by repeating the curly hair straightening process has a different degree of damage from the root to the hair tip. Moreover, even in the unit of one hair, the surface portion is most damaged.

  When the degree of damage is different for each part of the hair, the degree of hydrophilicity of the hair is also different according to the difference in the degree of damage. Since the reducing agent blended in the first agent for straightening hair is a water-soluble compound, it reacts more strongly in the part of the hair where the degree of damage is greater and the degree of hydrophilicity is greater, and the degree of damage is relatively small. The reaction does not progress so much at the portion where the degree of hydrophilicity is small. As a result, it becomes difficult to cause the reduction reaction uniformly throughout the hair, and it becomes difficult to make the hair straight with high uniformity.

  As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that the first agent for straightening hair containing a reducing agent and an alkaline agent includes (A) polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or salt thereof, (B) polyoxyethylene. Damage by blending a phosphate ester other than an alkyl ether phosphate or a salt thereof, (C) an ester composed of a dibasic acid and a monohydric alcohol, and (D) a cationic surfactant or a cationic polymer It has been found that the reduction reaction can be controlled so that the effect of the reducing agent is evenly generated even on the hair having different degrees for each part. And according to the curly hair straightening agent composed of the first curly hair straightening agent and the second curly hair straightening agent containing an oxidant, the degree of damage is different for each part. It was also found that the hair can be in a good straight state and the treated hair can have a soft feel.

  According to the present invention, a hair straightening agent that can perform hair straightening treatment with high uniformity even for hair having different damage degrees for each part and that can make the hair after treatment soft feel. The 1st agent for hair straightening which can be performed, and the said agent for hair straightening can be provided.

  In the first agent for straightening hair of the present invention, (A) component polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate or salt thereof, and (B) component other than polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or The salt [hereinafter sometimes referred to as “a phosphate ester other than the component (A) or a salt thereof”] increases the permeability of the first agent for straightening hair including the reducing agent into the hair, and the reducing agent. It is a component which has the effect | action which draws out the effect | action of. By using these components (A) and (B), a good hair straightening action is brought out while suppressing chemical damage to the hair caused by the first agent for straightening hair. In addition, these components (A) and (B) are effective in protecting the hair and suppressing damage during the physical treatment of the hair with combing and high-temperature hairstyling iron during straightening of the hair, It also has the effect of enhancing the feel (softness and moistness) of the hair.

  In the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or salt thereof as component (A), the number of moles of ethylene oxide added is not particularly limited. For example, the first agent for straightening hair is preferably an emulsion. The selection may be made in consideration of the stability of the emulsified state.

Among these, dicetyl phosphate is more preferable because the first hair straightening agent containing a reducing agent has a particularly good effect on enhancing the penetrability into hair and the effect of improving the feel of hair after treatment.

  Since the blending amount of the phosphate ester other than the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester or the salt thereof in the first agent for straightening hair is preferably as described above, the first agent for straightening hair is preferably an emulsion. However, from the viewpoint of more effectively exerting the effect of its use, it is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.3% by mass or more. preferable. Moreover, when there is too much quantity of phosphate esters other than the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate ester in the 1st agent for hair straightening, or its salt, the viscosity of the 1st agent for hair straightening will become high too much and operativity. May decrease, the blending amount is preferably 5% by mass or less, and more preferably 3% by mass or less.

  The ester composed of dibasic acid and monohydric alcohol as component (C) is the same as the first hair straightening agent including reducing agent, regardless of the degree of damage in each part of the hair. Has the effect of penetrating well. That is, by using the component (C), the reduction reaction by the first agent for straightening hair can be controlled to occur more uniformly.

  Specific examples of the ester comprising a dibasic acid and a monohydric alcohol as component (C) include, for example, di-2-ethylhexyl succinate, diisopropyl adipate, di-2-ethylhexyl adipate, diethyl sebacate, and sebacic acid. Examples include diisopropyl, di-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, and dibutyloctyl sebacate. Among these, diethyl sebacate is preferable because it has a higher effect of promoting a uniform reduction reaction by the first agent for straightening hair.

  Next, for each hair bundle subjected to the first hair straightening treatment, a second hair straightening treatment was performed. 2.0 g each of the first hair straightening agent according to the hair straightening agent of Examples 1 to 8 or Comparative Examples 1 to 4 is applied to each whole hair bundle subjected to the first hair straightening treatment. After coating, the hair bundle after coating was straightened and left at room temperature for 15 minutes, then washed with water and dried with a dryer. After these hair bundles were straightened with a hair iron adjusted to 180 ° C., 2.0 g of the second hair straightening agent was applied to the whole hair bundle and left for 5 minutes, and then washed with water. Then, the hair was dried with a drier and the second hair straightening treatment was completed. Each of the hair bundles subjected to these two curly hair straightening treatments was evaluated as described below.

[Hair straightening without iron]
For each hair bundle that has been washed with the 10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate solution and dried (the hair bundle that has not been subjected to straightening treatment using the iron), the iron is used except that no iron is used. Twice hair straightening treatment was performed by the same method as the hair straightening treatment used. Each of these hair bundles was evaluated as described below.

<Evaluation of uniformity of straight shape>
For the hair bundle subjected to each of the above-described curly hair straightening treatment, the straightness of the hair (the connection between the portion that has undergone the first curly hair straightening treatment and the portion that has undergone only the second straight hair straightening treatment) ) Was subjected to sensory evaluation by 20 professional panelists. Table 4 shows the evaluation results when the curly hair straightening treatment using the iron is performed, and Table 5 shows the evaluation results when the hair curling straightening processing without using the iron is performed. The evaluation criteria are as follows, and it can be said that those evaluated as ◎ and ○ have good straight shape uniformity.
A: Evaluated that 16 or more out of 20 panelists were uniform.
○: Of 20 panelists, 12 or more and 15 or less evaluated as uniform.
Δ: Of 20 panelists, 8 or more and 11 or less evaluated as uniform.
X: Evaluated that 7 or less of 20 panelists were uniform.

<Evaluation of softness of hair>
About the softness of the hair which concerns on the hair | bristle bundle after each said curly hair straightening process, it confirmed by the following torsional stress measurement and sensory evaluation. For the measurement of torsional stress, a torque sensing type torsional measurement device “KES-YN-1” manufactured by Kato Tech Co., Ltd. was used. The length of the sample hair was 2 cm, and the torsional stress was measured under the conditions of a torsional rotation speed of 120 ° / sec and a torsional rotation speed of ± 3 rotations. In addition, the sample hair used what was selected at random from the part which performed the hair straightening process among the hair bundles after a process. The smaller the numerical value obtained by the torsional stress measurement, the softer the hair.

The sensory evaluation of the softness of the hair was performed according to the following evaluation criteria by 20 professional panelists for the hair bundles after the above-mentioned curly hair straightening treatment. It can be said that the ones evaluated as 評 価 and ○ have soft hair.
◎: Out of 20 panelists, 16 or more were evaluated as being soft.
○: Of 20 panelists, 12 or more and 15 or less are evaluated as being soft.
Δ: Evaluated that 8 to 11 out of 20 panelists are soft.
X: Evaluated that 7 or less of 20 panelists are soft.

  Table 4 shows the evaluation results of the softness of the hair when the hair straightening treatment using the iron is performed, and Table 5 shows the evaluation results of the softness of the hair when the hair straightening treatment without using the iron is performed. .

  As shown in Table 4 and Table 5, the hair bundle that has been subjected to hair straightening treatment with the hair straightening agent of Examples 1 to 8 (first agent for hair straightening of Examples 1 to 8) is used with an iron. Regardless of the presence or absence of hair, the uniformity of the portion that has undergone only one hair straightening treatment (the portion that has undergone only the second hair straightening treatment) and the portion that has undergone the second hair straightening treatment are excellent. It is. Therefore, according to the hair straightening agent of Examples 1 to 8 (the first hair straightening agent of Examples 1 to 8), even the hair having a different degree of damage is uniform throughout. It can be seen that the hair can be straightened with high efficiency.

  Moreover, the hair which concerns on the hair | bristle bundle which performed the hair straightening process with the hair straightening agent of Examples 1-8 (The 1st agent for hair straightening of Examples 1-8) is irrespective of the presence or absence of use of an iron. It is said that the torsional stress is smaller and softer than the hair related to the hair bundle treated with the curly hair straightening agent of Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and that the softness is good also by sensory evaluation by a panelist. The result is obtained.

  Further, among the hair straightening agents of the examples (first hair straightening agent), those of Examples 5 and 6 blended with isopropanol and a wax component (beeswax, paraffin) solid at 25 ° C. are blended. In Examples 7 and 8, the uniformity of the straight shape of the hair after the curly hair straightening treatment is particularly good.
