Description

The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic that is applied before setting hair using a hair iron that is used for the purpose of forming a wave or straightening hair, and protects the hair from thermal damage of the hair iron. The present invention relates to a hair cosmetic that is excellent in wave and straight effect, set sustainability, has no stiffness, and has a smooth feel.

Hairstyles are one of fashion and diversified. Especially for young people in their teens and 20s, hairstyles such as voluminous wavy hair with waves at the ends and straight hair that flutters in the wind are popular. As a method for forming these hairstyles, methods using “straight hair iron”, “curly hair iron”, and the like are increasing. A hair iron or iron generally evaporates moisture inside the hair instantaneously by heat at 120 to 180 ° C., and deforms the structure of the protein of the hair to wrinkle the hair. The heat of a hair iron gives heat to the hair at a very high temperature compared to the heat of a dryer (about 90 ° C). Therefore, when a hair iron or iron is used repeatedly, the protein of the hair is removed by heat and moisture transpiration. It is denatured and hair damage progresses gradually. For example, blisters (lifting), lift-up and peeling occur in cuticles on the surface of the hair, and chemical changes in the cystine and methionine constituting the protein and changes in the α-helix structure occur in the cortex inside the hair. However, the damage on the surface and inside of the hair proceeds in a complex manner, and eventually the cut hairs and split ends are generated.

As a method for protecting hair from heat, hair cosmetics generally blended with naturally derived materials such as plant extracts, hydrolyzed proteins such as keratin and collagen (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2), polyhydric alcohols, Hair cosmetics (for example, see Patent Documents 3 to 6) in which various polymer polymers and silicones are combined and proposed have been proposed. However, although these inventions have the effect of protecting the hair from the heat of a low-temperature dryer, hydrolyzed proteins such as plant extracts and collagen are easily denatured against the heat of a high-temperature hair iron, The effect of protecting hair is not recognized. In addition, since the polyhydric alcohol has a lower flash point than that of the hair iron, it accelerates the degradation of hair proteins, which in turn causes the hair damage to be accelerated. In addition, for various polymer polymers, the heat of the hair iron softens the polymer compound and liquefies, causing scorching and smoke, not only preventing hair damage, but also scoring and deterioration of the hair iron. Arise.

Furthermore, when hair styling is performed using a hair iron, the progress of hair damage varies depending on the wetness of the hair. That is, when hair containing a large amount of moisture (wet hair) is heat-treated with a hair iron, hair damage proceeds at a speed several times that of dry hair (dry hair). As described above, this is because the moisture inside the hair suddenly boils due to the heat of the hair iron and promotes protein hydrolysis and the like. Therefore, when a styling agent having poor drying properties is applied, a large amount of moisture in the styling agent results in a state similar to wet hair, and damage to the hair is accelerated. For these reasons, hair cosmetics that protect hair damage from the high-temperature heat of hair irons and that can sustain the formed style are strongly desired in styling and brazing using hair irons and irons. It was.

In the specification, claims and abstract of the present invention, when simply described as “hair iron” or “iron” without any particular limitation, a specific “straight hair iron” or “curly hair iron” It includes not only irons but also irons for ironing, irons for ironing, irons for curling, irons for waffles, irons that are brought into contact with hair of other designations, and irons for ironing. In addition, not only appliances having a set temperature of about 120 to 180 ° C. used in general households, but also appliances that can be set to temperatures of 200 to 220 ° C. or higher, such as those used in beauty shops.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-187965 JP 2000-302648 A JP 2004-59487 A JP 2005-232117 A JP-A-2005-232120 JP 2006-28114 A

The purpose of the present invention is to protect the hair from heat damage when heat-treated with a hair iron or trowel by applying it before the use of the hair iron or trowel. The object of the present invention is to provide a hair cosmetic composition that has a smooth feel and has a smooth feel.

As a result of diligent research in view of such circumstances, the present inventor has softened the hair surface with the heat of the hair iron by using a water-soluble polymer compound having a glass transition point higher than that of the hair iron. Without damaging the cuticle layer on the surface of the hair by keeping the thermal conductivity extremely low, and by controlling the boiling of water inside the hair by the penetration of vegetable oils into the hair, protecting the hair protein, Furthermore, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved without leaving moisture in hair by dissolving in a lower alcohol that enhances drying properties, and the present invention has been completed.

The water-soluble polymer compound (A) used in the present invention has physical properties having a glass transition point of 160 ° C. or higher. Or a glass transition point may have a physical property more than the use temperature of a hair iron. Here, the glass transition point is generally a temperature at which glass transition occurs in an amorphous solid material, and is usually written as Tg. In the case of an amorphous solid such as a water-soluble polymer, the state of rigidity and no fluidity at low temperatures means the temperature at which the rigidity and viscosity rapidly decrease by heating and show fluidity. To do. The water-soluble polymer compound used in the present invention is a nonionic polymer compound, a cationic polymer compound, or an anionic polymer compound, and has a glass transition point of 160 ° C. or higher.
