Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair styling composition used as a set lotion for hair, a gel for hair styling, a hair spray, a foam hair styling agent and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a hair styling composition which has good set retention of hair, has little stickiness or stiffness during or after use, and can impart a supple and smooth texture to hair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various polymers such as anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric and the like have been used as setting agents in hair styling materials. For example, vinyl acetate-crotonic acid copolymer, (meth)
Acrylic ester- (meth) acrylic acid copolymers and the like, amphoteric polymers (meth) acrylate-carboxybetaine dimethylaminoethyl methacrylic acid ester copolymers, and nonionic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyvinylpyrrolidone-
Vinyl acetate copolymers, hydroxyalkyl celluloses, polyoxyalkylene derivatives and the like have been used.
Among the nonionic polymers, as polyoxyalkylene derivatives, for example, polypropylene glycol, polyoxypropylene butyl ether, polyoxypropylene glyceryl ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene butyl ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glyceryl ether and the like are used for hair. Of these, those having a relatively long polyoxyalkylene chain are often used as setting agents.

[0003]

When polyoxypropylene butyl ether, which is one of the nonionic polyoxyalkylene derivatives, is used as a setting agent in a hair dressing material, the hair is different from other polymers. Can be set on cohesive hair without hardening. Thus, although the use of polyoxypropylene butyl ether makes it possible to obtain a good set retention of hair, the hair to which it is applied has no smoothness, and causes stickiness and stiffness during and after use, It was difficult to get a good feel to the hair. Therefore, while using polyoxypropylene butyl ether to satisfy the basic effect of hair styling, that is, hair set retention, there is no stickiness or stiffness at the time of use and after use, and a hair styling agent that gives a good texture to the finished hair. The development of was desired.

[0004]

Under such circumstances, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result,
By combining a specific amount of a polyoxypropylene butyl ether having a specific propylene oxide addition mole number, a cationic surfactant and ethanol, respectively, without impairing the set holding power of the hair as a hairdressing agent, stickiness during use or after use, It has been found that the hair can be given a supple and smooth texture without stiffness, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, the present invention provides the following components (A) to
(C), (A) polyoxypropylene butyl ether having an addition mole number of propylene oxide of 20 or more and 60 or less 1
(B) 0.01 to 5% by weight of a cationic surfactant (C) 5-98% by weight of ethanol.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The polyoxypropylene butyl ether of the component (A) used in the present invention is a nonionic polymer having a butyl ether group at the end of a propylene oxide chain obtained by adding 20 to 60 mol of propylene oxide. In general,
When polyoxypropylene butyl ether is used as a hair setting agent, it can be set together in a specific hairstyle without hardening the hair. This nonionic polymer can adjust the set holding power by changing the propylene oxide chain length, and can also obtain a high set holding power. However, on the other hand, when polyoxypropylene butyl ether is used alone as a setting agent, the smoothness of the hair tends to be impaired, and the hair tends to be stiff, and the longer the propylene oxide chain, the greater the tendency.

In the present invention, the polyoxypropylene butyl ether of the component (A) has a propylene oxide addition mole number of 20 or more and 60 or less. If the number of added moles is less than 20, sufficient set holding power cannot be obtained,
On the other hand, if it exceeds 60, stiff and sticky hair will remain,
Sufficient quality may not be obtained as a hairdressing composition. Further, in the present invention, the compounding amount of the component (A) is 1 to
50% by weight (hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, weight%
Is simply indicated by%), more preferably 5-2.
The range is 0%. If it is less than 1%, sufficient set holding power cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 50%, the hair remains sticky and sticky, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient quality as a hairdressing agent.

In the present invention, the polyoxypropylene butyl ether of the component (A) may be one kind or two or more kinds having different addition mole numbers of propylene oxide. In particular, the addition mole number of propylene oxide is 20 or more and 40 or more. One or two of the following polyoxypropylene butyl ethers (hereinafter referred to as component (A-1))
By combining one or more kinds of polyoxypropylene butyl ether (hereinafter, referred to as the component (A-2)) having at least 40 kinds and an addition mole number of propylene oxide of more than 40 and 60 or less, the hair Set retention,
The feeling becomes better, and the effects of the present invention can be sufficiently exhibited in combination with the components (B) and (C). The component (A-1) and the component (A-2) have a compounding ratio (A-1) / (A-2) in the range of 20/1 to 1/2, particularly 10/1 to 1/1. More preferably, it is in the range of 1.

The cationic surfactant of the component (B) used in the present invention has good affinity for hair and good adsorptivity, works to give the hair smoothness and softness, and generally has a hair conditioning effect. Are used as imparting agents. In the present invention, the cationic surfactant of the component (B) may be used in combination with the component (A) or the component (C) without impairing the set holding power of the hair, during use, which is a disadvantage of the component (A). Shows the function of preventing stickiness and stiffness after use, and is an essential component of the present invention.

The cationic surfactant (B) used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a cationic surfactant which is generally used in cosmetics and the like and can impart a conditioning effect to hair.

Of these, stearyltrimethylammonium chloride is exemplified. , Behenyltrimethylammonium chloride, mono-long chain alkyl such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride A quaternary ammonium salt, distearyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, dibehenyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, quaternary ammonium salts of the di-long-chain alkyl type such as chloride dicetyl dimethyl ammonium is preferable for obtaining the effects.

In the present invention, the cationic surfactant (B) can be used alone or in combination of two or more, if necessary.
-5%, more preferably 0.1-1%.
If it is less than 0.01%, it is difficult to sufficiently obtain the effects of the present invention, and if it exceeds 5%, the stability of the system and the usability as a cosmetic (ease of use, good comfort, etc.) are adversely affected. It is difficult to obtain sufficient quality as a hairdressing agent.

The ethanol of the component (C) used in the present invention controls the drying speed after use, and has a function of stably blending the polyoxypropylene butyl ether of the component (A) into the system. It is an essential component in the invention.

In the present invention, the blending amount of the component (C) ethanol is 5 to 98% of the total composition, preferably 4 to 98%.
0 to 60%. If the blending amount of ethanol is less than 5%, the drying rate after use becomes slow, the stability of the system is adversely affected, and the quality as a hairdressing composition may be impaired. On the other hand, if it exceeds 98%, it is difficult to ensure sufficient quality as a hairdressing agent.
